I would be so annoyed standing there I would want to hurl myself over the rail. Then it would be OVER!!!
ROFL!!!
Your summary of a DC brought back some nasty memories. Much too accurate!
love_truth, in describing the utter dullness of jw assemblies and conventions, just gave me an interesting idea for a thread.
what were some of the ways you tried to make the hours pass?
some of mine: looking at the interesting refracting patterns the arena floodlights made on my eyeglasses when looking thru them at an angle.looking for people i knew from my congregation and others in the mass of people in the arena.counting the number of people leaving the section to go to the bathroompractice writing people's names in elvish scripthaving a conversation with friends a row behind me by passing notes back and forthseeing how many pages of my bible stick together when i slam a wad of gum in between its pages.. what else?

who's seen the movie dogma?
there was a little debacle a few days ago about jehovah is a dickhead and starts shit for nothing and kills his people.
but there's a movie that was written and directed by kevin smith named dogma.
Why Fletch.....is there any hankering out there for another Fletch movie?
Umm, ......yes
Fletch: Awww, come on guys, it's so simple maybe you need a refresher course.
[leans arm on hot engine part]
Fletch: Hey! It's all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads, and I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State.
Fletch: Whoa, there's Bob. Now won't he be surprised!
Kid: Are you a cop?
Fletch: As far as you know. Why? Did you steal this car?
Kid: I sure did.
Fletch: Well, I'm not even sure that's a crime anymore. There've been a lot of changes in the law.
Fletch: I didn't want to do this, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to pull rank on you. I'm with the Mattress Police. There are no tags on these mattresses.
Fletch: Using the whole fist, Doc?
Alan Stanwyck: You do own rubber gloves?
Fletch: I rent 'em. I have a lease with an option to buy.
Chief Karlin: What's your name?
Fletch: Fletch.
Chief Karlin: What's your full name?
Fletch: Fletch F. Fletch.
Chief Karlin: What do you do for a living, Mr. Fletch?
Fletch: I'm a shepherd.
Chief Karlin: Why are you doing this, Mr. Fletch?
Fletch: I like men. I like to be manhandled. I like you.
Fletch: Aren't you gonna read me my rights?
Cop: You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to have your face kicked in by me. You have the right to have your balls stomped on by him.
Fletch: I think I'll waive my rights.
Fletch: Hey, don't talk to me that way, assface. I don't work for you yet.

In my younger days while sitting in the Madison Collie -See'em for the DC I would imagine taking plywood and laying it over the tops of all of the seats and then using the place as a kick-ass skateboard park!
Girl watching was a good staple to pass time.
Then there were times when birds somehow got inside and flew around at the Mad Town DC.
One time a squirrel got on the stage at the Mad Town DC.
The critter was probably trying to get the big-ass nut that was talking on stage.
As I got older, I actually paid attention and took notes.
Recently I found my notes in the basement the other day.
I tried burning them but the pages wouldn't catch fire and all I heard was the howl of demons everytime I brought the sheets close to a flame.
if you knew that the policy was that there would be no more witchhunts, no more disfellowshippings or shunning of any kind, would you be tempted to go back?
Hey min,
"I just wanted to call you to say that the end is coming very, very soon and I'm worried aboutcha".
If your friend REALLY TRULY believes this, then tell him this:
"It's really coming that soon, huh? Then sell all of your possessions and live out the rest of your days in this old system Regular Pioneering and living off of your sold assets"
"Oh, you're not going to do that? Then I guess it's not really coming THAT SOON, so don't ever talk to me again with your hypocritical, doomsday, fear-mongering shit!"
i don't know what eles to call it , i guess it is the user name....lol.......so what does yours mean?.
i think awhile back i might have asked this,,,,,,,but it was way back and so many new ones here that i am just getting to know, and ones who came in here while i was not here as much.
there may be a thread on this in the last recent months, i am not sure,,,,if so, if there are any new ones who want to tell why they choose their user names,,,,,please do.. i will tell you why my name is lyineyes,,,,,many have asked me that here lately.
Perhaps, if you had used CHEVYS-N-TITS, people would catch on quicker !!
Is that like 'Kibbles-n-Bits'?
I gotta get me some kibbles-n-bits

Paul...Elder A called me and wanted to know if Winston Smith is a real person?He also wanted to know why his big broither was mean to him...was he his spiritual brother as well?
He also wondered if the book is on tape as it looks like alot of reading?
Could he play the tape in fast forward to get through it quicker?
Please buddy he's desperate form the truth!
sh0tgun
well, lets see... Tell him that there are about 6+ million real Winston Smiths that I know of for sure in the world His Big Brother is mean to him because; "War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength" Sure, it sounds like you can get it on tape or even watch the movie, although it is rated 'R'. For a simplier read, see Orwell's 'Animal Farm', many of the same thoughts are there but it is a shorter read, plus talking animals are fun! Just tell your friend to remember when reading 'Animal Farm' that: Snowball= Ray Franz and us apostates The Pigs = the Governing Body The Dogs = the elders The seven rules = the ever changing WTS doctrines The sheep = the R&F witness that bleet whatever crap that spews forth from the WTS: i.e. "Four legs good, two legs bad" Mankind = False religion Boxer the Horse = the Reg Pioneers, Missionaries, Bethelites and others who follow the motto of the WTS "I must work harder and 'Do More'" The Windmill = the Preaching Work Alcohol = The Internet and other non-WTS material Benjamin the Donkey = The R&F who have been in the Troof forever and know that things will never change Muriel the Goat = the JW's who are still in good standing but who know that something is wrong with the WTS. they know about some of the lies of the WTS, but won't take a visble stand against the WTS Actually, another must read for JW's and X-JW's, and an easier read at that!
i was just wondering if there were any new members out there who haven't yet said hello... if so.. please come in and say hi here.. .
its an easy way to get started.. .
i know there are those who will read/lurk for a while but one day they jump in and say hi.... .
Wow Sassy!
You bring out the fruit basket to welcome n00bs and they out of the woodwork!!!
Welcome to all of you. It's great to have all of you here!!!
