Peace to you ALL and to your dear households!

So... we went. He was there. Unfortunately, we didn't speak because... I had to go. Leave. Get outta there. I made it through the "talk" (something about sticking it out in the face if tribulation - opening song was morbid; talk was an attempt by speaker to be "funny" and cheer folks up. I thought, "Wait, I thought y'all are all HAPPY (didn't the flash mob video state that??")).

But after reading ahead then listening to the WT reading, first question, and responses to that... I couldn't. Head began to pound, stomach turned then went queasy. Needed air. Didn't even make it to the 2nd question. I HAD to get outta there FAST!

I got up and walked out.

He saw us during the talk. And he saw me leave.

Maybe curiosity will get that particular cat and he'll call. Maybe not. Don't care either way so long as I don't have to listen to the WTBTS BS. Can't do it. Cannot. Simply unable to stomach it.

I'll update if there's anything to share.

Again, peace to you all!

Your servant, sister, and a slave of Christ.,

Queasy (yep, still) Shel

P.S. You can find today's WT study article on their website.

LOL!!@(((SHELBY!!)))...

You lasted longer than I could have.
I`ve had to listen to Zoom Meetings from another room with the door closed and those were bad enough.
1st the Gawd awful Music...The Bashing of cymbals as an introduction to more noise they call music. Which is followed by more noise they call singing.
Then there`s the Scripted Answers, Parroted to Scripted Questions.

The Entire Event should be reserved for Career Criminals as Punishment.
So they never want to commit another crime in their life time.

Well, if my own experience is anything to go by, dear Sher'f (peace to you, my dear friend!), then I've NO doubt it would be an effective deterrent, yes!

Peace to you, dear Auntie, and the Fam!

YSFS of Christ,

Shelb

Peace to you Shelby, and to you all.

I do not blame you at all. And perhaps your reaction will be a witness all on its own! I have gone to the special talk before when invited, because someone told me that talk would have the answers to my 'questions' (which it did not). Just as someone told me this year that the memorial video would 'correct my thinking' (which of course it does not. How can something that states something so false correct someone's thinking, lol?)

Peace again to you and to you all,
your sister and servant and a fellow slave of Christ,
tammy

Special Talks are always something you`ve heard 1,000 times before...It`s just another Cash Grab for Extra Donations..$$$$$$$.

"Correcting Your Thinking" is always a Lame Attempt to "Stop You From Thinking"...And...Questioning any further....When you don`t accept a Hare Brained WBT$ / JW Explanation / Gas Lighting. They`ll try to convince you, You`re the One with the Problem....
They will offer you a WBT$ "Interpretation of the Bible" study. So you`re better able to accept more JW BS...If you`re already a JW, you`ll be given the opportunity to Shut Up or get Tossed Out.
There`s Nothing Honest About Any of It.
