I was just thinking of this driving home from work last night. When I totally believed this to be the "TRUTH" I could not stay awake. I really tried to but the next thing I knew I was sound asleep. I tired taking notes, chewing gum even though that was banded. It was not just me, I would look around and see many, many sleeping. I always felt so horrible and bad about myself. Like I laked faith and did not love Jehovah.
Now that I do not believe it to be the "TRUTH" I do not have any problem staying awake when my husband drags me to one. I kind of enjoy listening to confirm that this is all just a huge CULT. I find many points to show husband of the cult speak.
Most of the JW's will never admit that they sleep though the assembly's but I did have one supper strong in the "truth" elders wife who is my age admit both her and her supper strong elder husband sleep all the way though the assembly's. She said it is some of the best sleep they ever get. She was telling me tricks they use to appear awake so no one will know.
I was thinking last night that the reason we would sleep was that it is hypnotic. Meaning that we were in a kind of trance when we were in the JW's. It kind of was scary thinking of it that way.
So what is your take as to why so many of us fell asleep.
