Maybe it's time to mention to the kids that attending the meetings is "their choice".
They may quit right after you enlighten them on this reality.

No Sports Cars Please!
by snugglebunny ini read on a jw forum that jw's came in for disapproval if they drove either sports cars or 2-door cars.
the reasoning was that a driver couldn't easily take fellow dubbies out preaching in such a vehicle.
was that ever official policy or just local nonsense from a grumpy po?.

This is a very interesting topic for me, as my wife if being guided by the GB.
I need to think this through. Should I ask her to read the opening post?
I told her I would not share anymore TTATT with her.I answered my own question.
We have had over a week of very good days in a row.Why spoil that...

Umbertoecho here.
by umbertoecho inhello people.. i'm tired and a bit sick at the moment but i can't let anyone think that this is going to go away.... i am able to tell you a few things in order to prevent any confusion in the minds of those who are thinking that nothing will come of this arc;that nothing will effect the wtbts in america and other places.. i have been there and given my testimony.
helen milroy and her assistants were there along with another group of people who are there to lend assistance if you crack up at any time during or after the hearing.
i did not crack up but can see how this happens.. security is tight and anonymity is sacred to them as they want to protect all who come forward.

What Was The Silliest "Offense" That You Were Counseled For?
by minimus inwhen i was a teenager, i was told by an elder that because i smiled a lot and was known for my good sense of humor, that i should come across as "more serious".
so before i was appointed a ms, while in my late teens, i transformed myself into a much more "serious" brother.. were you ever told that you needed to work on something that you knew was stoopid?.

I was working the stage at the FF assembly hall in Ca.
The edge of the stage has a raised surface.
From anywhere in the auditorium it would very difficult to see anyone's shoes.The CO gave me the boot, because my shoes were not shiny. ( nice black suede shoes ). I was dumb and went into the audience and traded shoes with a friend that had shiny ones...
Years later, when I was trying to figure out what I doing and how to escape "privileges" first and the cult second, I remembered how to get booted off the stage. I wore slacks and a sports coat instead of a suit. ( ooops! ) They never saw me again.
