She is a very loving person but she doesnt suffer fools. She will tell it like she sees it.
One of her pet peeves is people talking about her and not keeping her confidence.
She recognises that the org. Is not as loving as they want you to think.
i have a sweet jw friend.
she is elderly and had heart problems and is hard of hearing.. she is a tiny thing and very loving.
she is a convert and had been "in" for around 20 years.. she came "in "after her divorce.. we started hanging out together a couple years ago when i called her for a ride to the meetings.. .

Thanks. Im glad you enjoyed it. I think sometimes its easy to pigeon hole people. We forget that all JWs are not at the same place.
This sister has always marched to her on beat.
She has her faith and she also realizes that her spirituality is her business.
I joked with her and said: at least at the track we won't run into anyone from the . She looks at me, puts her hands on her hips and says:
Let them see us. Its none of their business any way.( she used to worry someone would say something if they saw us eating out and not at meetings.)
GOOD FOR HER!

@Kate: I'm glad that you are still close with your friend.
@Scary: thanks for your response. I really cherish sister A. and only want the best for her.
@tal: you're right it is a perfect friendship.
She knows I won't judge her for not going.
She also has not asked me why I don't go anymore.
We both have mentioned the lack of love and the fact we are ignored by the elders.
@wildthing: i agree: she will make her own path. I'll be there what ever path she chooses.
I make a point not to encourage her to go meetings. I tell her to listen to her body. She knows what is best for her health.
"we should be mindful".
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

When a " worldly " relative dies: at least now he'll have a chance to be in the new world.

since the creation of a few youtube channels i spend enormous amounts of time watching them.
they have basically replaced my activity on jwn and watching kelly and michael in the morning.
there are quite a few issues and implications that result from this trend.
Marked for later viewing. Its way past my bedtime.
justice #20 getting run over.
jesus said, "woe unto you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites!
for you tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, justice, and mercy, and faith: but these you ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone.
Hmm..appointed by holy spirit? You be the judge. The more I read the more my eyes are opened. These chains are slipping off one by one.
found this on youtube.

Londo: they probably didnt cover that at attendant training school. Did you notice the bro. on the phone? He was calling for instructions.
I do think calling all of them thugs was a little harsh. I think most of them just wanted to make sure the situation didnt get out of hand.
"Sheriff " was the one that was being thuggish. The first bro. Was firm but polite but was at loss when video guy decided to stop walking.
Are there any former attendants here? Did you get training or have guide lines to follow?
How did you handle similar situations?

Thanks twice shy and wild thing.
She has told me that if it wasn't for her love for Jehovah, she would not be "in the truth".
She does things her own way. She still goes on her magazine route each month but she skipped the memorial and all meetings.
She knows I won't repeat what she says and she assures me she won't repeat what I tell her.
I just enjoy her company and let her do what she feels comfortable with. She has a bad heart and for awhile there she was resigned that she was dying. She got a new doctor and is doing better.
But I think her new philosophy is not to waste her time on things she doesn't like.
We have fun together and I want to make the most of the time she has left. (Which I hope is a long time)
