  Would you be able to survive a three day Assembly?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  the last assembly i attended was over 10 years ago.

  the monotone speakers, boring talks, uncomfortable seats, long prayers and nodding off after the lunch break did me in.

  i survived the morning sessions, but the afternoon sessions were brutal.

  My brother and I, aged about ten or so - 1970's football stadium - sitting on deckchairs under tarpaulin on the open football stands- rain, thunder and lightning - everyone had vacated except us - brother on stage pointed to our humble man made den and shouted at the audience -

  DEVOTION! Look over there at those two people in the rain if you want to see DEVOTION!!

  Everybody clapping - my brother said 'I think they're clapping US!!'

  We broke off from reading our comics and eating snacks by torchlight to look outside the tarp - yes they were all clapping us!!

  Then back to our comics and snacks - best assembly my brother and I ever enjoyed - can't remember a single thing from the program though!!

  it is very inappropriate to discuss these types of behaviors in the presence of children..

  Couldn't agree more!

  I was about 10 when we studied the' Unseen Spirits' brochure below - gave me the creeps and nightmares.

  Is it available as a pdf download anywhere?

  Crisis of Conscience available for free on Audible

  by nicolaou in

  i'm unclear on how this has been achieved or if permissions have been given.

  presumably, audible (part of amazon) have their own procedures to ensure legality, but here it is nonetheless;.

  listen to crisis of conscience - raymond franz by crisis of conscience - raymond franz on audible.

  a 1st cousin(a) of mine just called me about one of my great aunts(b) getting reinstated.

  (b) has been disfellowship for as long as i can remember.

  (a) has always stood on the fence with his beliefs.

  Pomi is very common...Decades can pass but the programming endures.

  So true - and when they go back they instantly become sickeningly 'spiritual' and borg centric,

  Ages of each user here?

  by ukpimo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm interested to know the age demographics here.

  it must be significantly different to other exjw forums.

  it would be a damning report for watchtower if most of us appear to have left for decades.. you don't have to mention your exact age, you could always say "in my 50s".. i am in my 70s.
