faking interest so as to gather material for a research paper? I'm in the position now of pretty well being able to plan exactly how I leave for good. I'll be moving to a foreign language congregation at some point in the near future, then after awhile I'll be "selling my house" and "moving" far out of the territory I'm in now. I will then go to maybe two meetings, make sure my publisher card is moved, then disappear.
However, I'm planning on doing an undergraduate degree soon (after I finish my certificate in journalism) and think I may do cult research, etc. So I'd use the time in the next little while to take notes while at the meetings, concentrating on stuff like Watchtower buzz words, subtle manipulation in the literature, control techniques, you know, all that wonderful stuff cults are made up of.
Just wondering if anyone else attended meetings with this type of ulterior motive. Must make the time go by quickly, and I'll probably be concentrating more than anyone else in the hall.
