  Used to do it all the time. Quite easy, and that’s speaking from experience.

  I have noticed more than drifting off to sleep at boring boasting sessions (presumably so my brain can be directly programmed to accept hardships). I have come back from a big, great, or grand boasting session feeling more drained than I would have been had I been at work during the same period. It is, in fact, worse to be at one of these things than to be at work washing dishes during the same period. This is because energy is being drained so joke-hova can use it to enslave us all.

  And it can be more than just a headache, especially this year. You catch whatever is going around more easily when you are drained like this. Not only you are exposed to more colds and flu (and coronavirus, as the case is this year), but your resistance is drained. This is far worse than going out in the cold without a coat (which puts a load on you that is roughly equal to briskly walking or running, which people do all the time without getting sick). Spiritual energy is drained, curses are directly placed on you directly from the bible (and you are half asleep, rendering you more vulnerable to those), and the virus is right there at the boasting session. And, with all those references to the extreme hardships suffered, your brain is programmed to get sick.

  I suppose that, in years ahead, there is going to be an even worse pandemic and they are going to reference 2020 when people continued holding boasting sessions and field circus despite coronavirus. They are going to say "We had a pandemic. Many places banned the work because of this. Yet, we persevered through that. We can, and we will, persevere through this one as well. Joke-hova will protect us now, as it did then."
