    Seeing the pretentiousness of it all---the meetings, the BETHELITES, the GB, etc. makes it IMPOOSIBLE to EVER go back.

    i went to a Special Meeting that showed slide shows. They were from some african country (husband & wife)...it was not interesting at all !!! It was a waste of 2 hours on a saturday night!

    I used to get so mad with my teenage kids when they would slouch, yawn loudly or roll their eyes

    The thing was I was as bored as them. I really, really tried not to be. I pre studied, concentrated hard but to no avail I hated meetings.

    But i had no one to blame but myself no one made me go, was I grazy or what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Vitty, you weren't crazy---just indoctrinated---like the rest of us.

    Growing up and being about an an hour and a half drive from Bethel with several ex-Bethelites as elders, we used to get a lot of "special" talks.

    Having them give the regular Sunday talk was fine but sometimes they added the "Saturday Night" talk which was never fun.

    The only time I was "excited" over a "special event" was when F.W. Franz spoke about the Great Trib.
