What reaction would the JW's have if you walked into the Kingdom Hall? (page 6)

uwishufish

I would go on memorial night down the glass of wine and ask for a refill, using hand motions and all.

Just kidding ! It would make me nauseous to enter that den of vipers!

UWUF

I found out last night. I got back from work late and longed to see my wife...but she was already at the Hall. Not feeling fettered by their rules of propriety, I entered the Hall and asked the first elder I saw to please retrieve my wife for me. He shook my hand and said, "Well, whatever the reason for you being here, I'm just glad to see you in this building." Ahhahahahahaaa! Like the building has some magical power. So, I stepped right back outside to laugh that one off, I couldn't help it. It was just so comical.

After I saw my wife, I went to grab my first bite of food for the day. Then I went back and wrote a note letting her know I would just be sleeping in the car until she came out. I took the note in to her myself. I had on jeans and sneakers <gasp!>, my beard (such as it is) <gasp!>, no tie <gasp!>. Two ladies who've known me since childhood burst into tears. My wife was sitting next to my mother (the lady who says she misses me). It was hilarious! Like, "The dead! The dead are up and walking about!" I could speak to them, but they couldn't speak to me. I'm like an ex-JW ghost that way, hee-hee! They are so silly and trifling in their self-importance and adherence to the rules and edicts of egoistic, pretentious men.

Upshot, 40 minutes before the Service Meeting was over my wife had come to the car and we left. She was "hungry," but I just think I gave her a convenient way out of extreme boredom.

I may visit more often.

Hmmmm

If I went to the only hall I have seen here in Ottawa I would be sitting at the bottom of the stairs and waiting for two people to carry me up. Mind you then I would be stuck there for the whole meeting until two more people would carry me and the wheelchair down.

When I went to the hall in Winnipeg no one spoke a word to me but I'm sure they had a lot to say about the silentlambs business cards I left in the washroom

Now if I went back to the old hall I was in eons ags - 15 years ago I hardly knew anyone there were so many new people. The few people who did know me avoided me but sat there and glared at me.

If I went back to the same hall now I'd be surrounded by Baptists.

But if I went to the new hall they built I suspect there would be only a handful of people who knew who I was - my ex being one of them. It wouldn't be long before the glaring looks would start

mouthy

They would prob ask two big brothers who have good service time to escort me out,

Oh Come on Ritchie, It would take at least 5 or 6 to take you out.

I personally cant answer this question cause it ain't gonna happen.

They would turn and stare at me and then whisper during the meeting about me, whether I was still dating or remarried or living with someone (I am not), depending on what I was wearing they would probably have something to say about that too. Skirts become shorter and heels taller and shirts lower cut by the time the talk goes through the grapevine.

Well, since there is a cookie award for the first one that 'gets' me, I am sure there would be a big ugly jw stampede.
