Did you attend the Meeting today? This is a Thread for anyone who attended the "big" Generation Watchtower Study today to post their experiences/stories.

Let's hear some wholesome, upbuilding encouragement from our brothers and sisters out there today!

nope

Pyramid had the same idea for a thread at the same time I did! lol.

Let's link up our two threads here:

No. I went shopping and had lunch at Chipotle.

Cult Classic

I was considering going, but my daughter and I went to church instead.

Wife went.

She said it was not at all how we were making it out to be.

They even had a talk comparing unity to conformity.

had lunch at Chipotle.

Chipotle rocks!

Garyneal, how strange. Our talk was about loyalty to Jehovah and his Org. Wonder if that was a common thread with all the public talks.

I went....

Answers for the generation paragraphs were pre-picked and scripted.

I sat smack dab in the middle, made over-happy faces at the conductor and beamed like an idiot.....I could see  he was uneasy about the article, but his company position is a defining title in his life, he loves being respected.

 I think my presence in such front and center way also disturbed him..... afterall why would Sister Yknot sit through an ENTIRE WT-study (1st in over a year without going outside or to the bathroom) and drag herself from the darkened second school, library or corner left seating to sit there like a beaming idiot with a dare-ya you goofy bastard look on her smirky little face!

No gasped, ooohed or ahhhed......

It was just another WT-Sunday, just another WT-study...... to the rest of them (baaaaaa sheeeeple baaaaa)

Other than the Elders, kids I taught last week and myself absolutely none of them probably can define the generation as stated in the article! I am sure I would get a lot of Pre-1995 explanations!

Sorry I woke up late then watched the Red Sox lose (drinking many beers) now I'm watching the Celtics (drinking many beers) ............ what was the question???

went, and people swallowed it up like drones

Hmm...nope.

I wanted to call in on the phone hookup and record it and post it on here, but wasn't able to.

Pyramid Scheme:

Honestly, I think my wife remembers most from the talks things that solidify her point to me in her head.  I suppose all of us remember most anything that was said that resonates with our innermost beliefs.

I don't think that the talk was all about comparing unity to conformity but she said the speaker touched on it.  The details she gave was that conformity forces people to agree under the penalty of some consequence if they do not.

So I asked her, "Isn't that the same point I made last night?  So if you were to all of a sudden say, 'I do not believe in 1914 anymore,' would there not be a consequence?"  She glossed over that point and redirected the conversation to the disunity in the churches of Christendom (something all witnesses are good for).

The Cubs were hosting the White Sox, the Black Hawks were still celebrating the Stanley Cup in Chicago, there was Blues Fest and a Literature Fair, the lawn needed mowing and the shed had to be cleaned.

If it weren't for all that, I still would have been too busy for seeing a bunch of Stepford Witnesses say "Whatever the Faithful Slave says is right."

I was at the tigers game IN A SUITE!!!!!!

I can no longer go back to watching lgames among the rank commoners.

Tigs won 4-3 thx to a 3-run bomber by our big guy miggy!

I went for the first and last time.

The guy leading it skipped completely over it.

The only mention of overlap was when it was read from the paragraph by the other dude. I looked around while the guy was reading and a guy in the audience was smiling. When the guy reading finished, the guy leading read the question at the bottom and the guy in the audience who had been smiling read back the sentence in the paragraph, which didn't deal with overlapping, and then the guy leading it moved on to paragraph 15.

So I asked her, "Isn't that the same point I made last night?  So if you were to all of a sudden say, 'I do not believe in 1914 anymore,' would there not be a consequence?"  She glossed over that point and redirected the conversation to the disunity in the churches of Christendom (something all witnesses are good for).

I usually deal with some pantsload who tries that trick by answering in this manner:

"I am not here to study the churches of Christendom. I want to study Watchtower teachings. If you can not explain them and want me to learn about Christendom then perhaps I should go over to them and have them tell me what they teach."

That usually jars them enough to get back on topic.

No, y go back

I didn't risk the trip to the Kingdumb Hell.  But I bet most of the witlesses ate it up readily--and just wait until they go to the Grand Boasting Session and hear the flimsy excuse the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger offers for it.
