Good verdict. A little low but dozens more to come.

Halloween. I have a love / hate relationship with it. I love it when we’re talking about little kids dressed up in cute costumes. Tiny dinosaurs, pirates, and adorable, sparkly witches that shuffle to the door, excitedly hold out their pumpkin, and say “twick or tweat” with a smile. That’s the Halloween I love.
What I don’t love, no, what I hate about Halloween is the scary stuff. The freakish zombies, creepy grim reapers, blood-chilling Freddy Kruegers, and clowns. Noooooo. All of the no. Even as an adult, I can’t watch trailers for scary movies … and you couldn’t pay me to go through a haunted house. Some people revel in that stuff, but not me. Nope. Nuh uh. Not for a second.
And then there are the Halloween costumes that truly terrify parents. They take the Noooooooo factor up a notch. Jessica from Herd Management compiled some of the scariest costumes out there … and the Girl helped out.
To see more hilarious Halloween costumes that strike fear into the heart and soul of every parent out there, click that scary pic above or right HERE. You won’t be sorry!
After you check out the post on Herd Management, come back and tell me which costume is the scariest / worst. Are there any others that should have been included??

The foreign language idea is brilliant!!!
"Moving" real or pretend works well- out of the DISTRICT. Tell everyone you are moving and will be out of town "looking for a new home/fixer where the economy is better".
Pretend move: Call and rent a "mail drop" from UPS at least an hour away $50. Buy a Trac phone from Walmart about $50 and activate it with the new area code to the address. Put a "For Sale by owner" sign up in the front yard ( and your car) with a very high price and your NEW AREA CODE number. Disable voicemail. Total investment about $100.
Use a GENERIC voice on your old phone and answering machine.
DO NOT ANSWER DOOR Sat 10-1 or PHONE, and screen all calls.
Within a week or two no one will be able to verify if you even GOT the messages they left on your door or phone...or if you are still living in town.
Elders give up quickly- you are not that important to them, and now they can tell the Circuit overseer you moved when he visits.

Would it be a good idea to dress up as a Jehovah's Witness for Haloween?
I would basically wear a nice suit,and carry along awake and Watchtower pamphlets taped on to my Haloween treat bag.I will be knocking on many doors not to preach but to collect candies.Would this be offensive to Jehovah's Witnessses though??,since I don't want to offend anyone.

Coco Rocha: I've Had To Forego Modeling Jobs To Honor My Jehovah's Witness Faith
HuffPost Live | By Emily Tess Katz
- Posted: 10/29/2014 1:22 pm EDT Updated: 10/29/2014 6:59 pm EDT
Supermodel and Jehovah's Witness are both adjectives that could be used to describe Coco Rocha, but the two things don't necessarily go hand-in-hand. In a HuffPost Live interview on Wednesday, the famed runway star explained how she juggles the two -- while always putting her faith first.
"I'm sure there are some jobs I'm not doing because of what I stand for, but that's totally okay," she told host Ricky Camilleri in a Tuesday appearance to promote her new photo book, "Study Of Poses."
Those jobs would include shoots that are too salacious, and, presumably, any obligation that would take place on a Sunday, as mandated by the doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Rocha recalled how she was originally ambivalent to inform employers of her religious background, not wanting to create any self-imposed setbacks in an already competitive industry.
"At the beginning of my career, I was nervous to talk," she explained. "I was just a very young girl. You don't want to upset anyone or frustrate anyone -- you just want to work."
With over a decade of modeling experience under her belt, Rocha's grown more comfortable speaking her needs and hopes younger models will do the same.
"I just say 'hey, I won't be wearing that, I won't be doing that,'" she said. "Most likely, people are just going to pay attention and go 'hey, no problem, it's okay,' which you're shocked to hear."
Watch the rest of Coco Rocha's conversation with HuffPost Live here.

How to make the most of wife not going to service meeting?
by FadeToBlack inout of the blue, my wife told me that after this week's service meeting on friday (co visit) she is not going to anymore meetings during the week at night.
only sunday (am) meetings.
she explained that it is difficult and not safe for her to drive after dark (vision issues: i have the same problem so i couldn't help her if i wanted to).

Night driving is dangerous. When the Elders pestered my Mother about missing evening meetings I reminded them they "wouldn't want to have bloodguilt" if she hit one of the JW kids in the dark parking lot". Since no elder wanted to drive miles to pick her up at night they never pestered her again. Mom was happy to miss meetings in her pajamas, favorite recliner, Net flix- old movie on the new big screen smart TV, cocktail and popcorn in hand.- much more fun than a meeting.
With a smart TV she can window shop online while you make her popcorn or a drink.

congregational cliques
by chuckyy init was my experience during my 13 yrs as a jw that congregations usually had a social clique.
in other words, there would be a group of people in a congregation that would only associate (and sometimes only go out on field service too) with people within that social clique.
if you were in the clique, fine.

Balaamsass2
Oh yes the Cliques.
Rich clique, Pioneer sisters clique, Elders families, The Cowboys, Health food/vegitarians, popular teenagers,- every JW Hall has them.

WELCOME!!!
50 years wasted as a JW and former Elder as well. It is strange at first.
Hold your head up high and smile..and when they ask the Sooo Hoooooooooow ARE youuu doooooooing????" question.. Make a big smile, slap them on the shoulder and say FANTASTIC!!!!!!! NEVER BEEN BETTER!!!!! Jehovah has really blessed us!!!!- Before they can recover ask: soooo..how is your...(fill in the blank relative)... are they (re-instated, out of jail, etc.) CONTROL the conversation, catch them of guard, and have a great time! Most people will drone on about themselves anyway if you act interested. - then go to the next one before they finish! lol Enjoy.
A HAPPY ex JW shakes 'em up.
