Did Your District Conventions Have A Meat Market?
by Jeremy C ini was recently thinking back upon some of my unusual memories of being in the organization.
one of them was of the dodger stadium "meat market".. we used to attend our district conventions at dodger stadium in los angeles.
for those of you who arent familiar with the stadium, dodger stadium has a very large level with blue seats - which is the largest level within the stadium.

I feel really angry
by Quester55 ini feel angry, bitter, resentful and stupid.
when i was in my 30's and young and strong, and had a long stretch of life ahead of me, i went along with the jw's and didn't get my education.
now that i am 50, divorced and barely making a living as a teacher aide, i am scrounging around trying to get the loans and grants to enable me to go to school to earn a b.a.

Analogy of the Cave
by Quester55 inanyone remember aristotle's parable of the cave?
about the people who lived at the bottom of a vast cavern and the only contact they had with the 'outside world' was their own reflected shadows onto a wall, and the only voices they heard were their own?
one of them breaks free and finds his way to the surface, he beholds the sun, moon and stars, he see trees, flowers, other plants and animals - he sees the world!

Going to Church
by excito-are ini went to church in my local town while the witnesses attended the perth assembly.
it was a good sermon and i actually felt very upbuilt and refreshed after listening to it.
i really thought i would of felt guilt or some negative feeling for doing this, but quite the opposite.

Do JW's intentionally act so as to bring persecution on themselves?
by gaiagirl insome witnesses state that "gods people will be persecuted" or "if you are not being persecuted, then you better examine your life".
a jw who works where i do poured the last cup of coffee out of the pot, and was asked to make another pot for the other workers.
he responded "sorry, i have to go to work now".
