we have the circuit overseer’s visit this week, and my folks are having him and his wife over for lunch today.
of course, i’m making it a point of hightailing it out of there to have my lunch elsewhere.
when my mom asks me “why don’t you stay and meet him,” i just say, “well, he’s just a man like everybody else.” she says, “well, of course.
I always wanted to invite them over and have Hot Dogs, beans and some off brand potato chips and see how that went over. I just couldn't bring myself to spend the 8 bucks on the food. lol
I figured he wouldn't come over anyway. They never show up at the "losers" homes. So glad we were "losers". What a blessing from Jehovah!

"Made him a gluten free pizza because he had celiac disease."
Was it just in our area? The Co and or his wife always had a special diet either due to a physical problem or some other conjured up issue?
My parents always kissed the CO's ass. Made me sick!
hello.
does anyone know what the campaign in october is going to be about?.
oh how wonderful those experiences at assemblies and "schools" are - not.
at times it seemed as if these "experiences" were scripted.
the speaker gets criteria in the outline regarding what the experience or interview has to be about.
So if they embellish the demos at the assemblies, what else are they embellishing? Things that make ya go.... Hmmm!
I am now calling "theocratic warfare, theocratic bullsh*t".
our last conversation was him yelling at me because i "loved the gays".
translation, i pointed out that nobody chooses their sexuality.
i've been shunned since daing last september, and really for a year or so after visiting my df'ed brother.
So sorry for your loss dub.
I would do exactly as you are doing. You said good bye to your Dad. That is the important thing. You are a good son.
Enjoy your camping trip this weekend.
don't get here much anymore.
my mom, if you remember, really wanted to see her granddaughter before she died.

Yes, I remember your story. It is so sad and we are so sorry for your loss.
It is beyond disgusting what JW families do to one another.
there are some things that as a witness i never knew.
maybe i was just going through the motions, attending meetings and not listening much.
never was very good at personal study or underlining answers in watchtower or book study (i never ever answered up) was too shy.. i never knew when i was a witness that they taught that jesus had looked down on the earth in 1919 to see who was serving god most accurately, and of course he chose a small group of bible students living in america!
is it a fact that all kh construction earth wide has stopped?
When the new Kingdom Hall design was introduced last year. They had photos of the inside. I counted 121 seats in the main hall and 22 seats in the second school (the room with the glass). This totals 143 seats for the new design. I can remember the last hall (old style) we attended had a seating capacity of 236.
Where they anticipating a decline when they introduced the LDC design or do they have different sizes of this new design? It seems to me they are expecting a decline in certain areas!
i booked a double appointment so that she wouldn't be rushed.
i explained that i'd been brought up in the jw's and woken up to what a load of shite it was.
i explained that they have changed the blood card and that the elders in the cong are being told to effectively force people into signing it.
If pressured by the Elders. Inform the elder(s), your lawyer handles all of your legal and healthcare matters. If you need my medical card I will be happy to give you their phone number? I guarantee you the matter will be dropped. You are not being disobedient to the Elders or Jah! Just following legal advice...blame your lawyer.
hello, i have been lurking for a while, but discovered ttatt for about 8 months now.
