    Being the depressing economic state that the entire world is going through it would

    not be surprising to see a large number returning to seek some emotional support

    down at the Kingdom Hall.

    Likewise with other religious dominations.

    There is also a sorted blackmail aspect to the JWS regarding interpersonal relationships with family members that

    cant be dismissed, which forces people to act indifferent to their own personal integrity regarding religious matters.

    So glad to see you, so glad you're here
    Come here beside me now, we can clear inhibition away
    All inhibitions throw them away
    And when we dance like this, like we've never been dancin' before

    Oh, they were swingin' down at kingdom hall
    Oh, bells were ringin' down at the kingdom hall
    A choir was singin' down at the kingdom hall
    Hey, liley, liley, liley, hey, liley, liley, low
    Do do do do do do, do, do do do do do do
    Do do do do do do, do, do do do do do do

    Good body music brings you right here
    Free flowin' motion now when we're shakin' it out on the floor
    Good rockin' music down in your shoes
    And when we dance like this, like we've never been dancin' before

    Oh, they were swingin' down at kingdom hall
    Oh, bells were ringin' down at the kingdom hall
    A choir was singin' down at the kingdom hall
    Hey, liley, liley, liley, hey, liley, liley, low
    Do do do do do do, do, do do do do do do
    Do do do do do do, do, do do do do do do

    Down at the kingdom hall
    They were havin' a party, they were havin' a ball
    Bells were ringing out and the choir was singin'

    Hey, liley, liley, liley, hey, liley, liley, low
    Do do, do do, do do, do do
    Sugar was there, did you see sugar
    Down at the kingdom hall, sugar was tough

    i just commented today to a friend
    i have made A.B. (after b0rg):

    give the devil his due, one thing i learned
    from the cult was how to make cold calls on
    people about things that might set them off....

    (this convo took place this afternoon
    after i had spent about 3 hours in the
    next town over plastering notices about
    upcoming public meetings for an LGBTQ
    advocacy group, approaching business
    owners and others about allowing the
    notices to be displayed on their premises)

    the thing i noticed is that in doing something i feel
    passionate about, there was no dread at all in
    engaging these individuals.... on the other hand
    in field service, how many times did i PRAY that
    no one would come to the door?? ....
    jehovah, please let this be a not at home!

    miss the cult? mebbe, but my aim is improving

    What I really miss is preparting 2 meeting parts, 2 shep calls, judical cases, elders meeting, RBC duties, letters to read and file, oh, and the glossy eyed, upset, depressed people.

    Yeah, I miss that.

    That's not a stupid question!

    I got baptised at 15 years old and quit at 18 years old. I had my fun those 3 years I was out and never thought of ever going back.

    My cousin invited me to a special talk at a local High School by Leo Greenlees. He talked about the ''end times'' and presented a slide show about the conditions of the world. We all shook his hand like Jesus was walking the earth. I went back to attending the meetings.

    Thirty years later,I hate myself for ever going back. I now know that the WTS is just a Real Estate and Book Publishing Corporation. They are nothing but liers and false teachers who abuse their power over every member. They are not God's organisation.

    Thank you Simon for this wonderful site. We can all speak our minds without any repercussions.
