Went to a sunday meeting Waterbury, Connecticut, yawnfest x100
by Brokeback Watchtower inwell went on a vacation cross country for 10 days to see relatives, and so decided to drop in on my old kingdom hall to get a look at some old friends i haven't seen in more the 27 years.. came in around 1:15 pm middle of the public talk wearing tight fitting jeans and an old sweat shirt, and sat down in front of person i served with as an elder.
the talks was so boring i can't remember a word of it, i can only recall that it was very disjointed with tremendous leaps in logic, so that my mind could not and would not follow the speaker.
watchtower study was a complete brain shrinking repeat of putting on the new personality or something, with the conductor fishing for baby food comments where none of the 3 or 4 young ones gave any comments only the hard core braindead were answering.

Vultures - said the CO
by punkofnice ini was in a congregation where the po was also the co. a bit of n old curmudgeon.
he's no longer with us.. i remember him getting rather sarcy (that's 'snarky' to my american cousins), about how the local jobos would descend on someone new entering the kingdum he££ to try to get a 'study(tm)' and make 'placements(tm)' with the newbie.
not to mention 'love bombing'.. he said from the pratt-form that he didn't want the 'publishers(tm)' become 'vultures'.. i agreed with him.. by extension (typical jobo term), i noticed a certain preciousness about things...perhaps even a corrosive jealousy about things.. eg: if someone gave an 'experience(tm)' in a 'comment(tm)' about how they converted the universe and its dog (almost), to jobo-ism, (well not really, but you know, something more credible), the elder or whomever would ignore it, blank it as if they were envious.

JWs - Liberals or Conservatives?
by neat blue dog inwhere they stand is a strange mixture.
yes, they don't agree with abortion and homosexuality, they believe in the bible and wear skirts and ties to church .
but in many ways they're liberal.
