if you were ever brought before a judicial committee, and were about to be interrogated by the elders, just remember...you owe them nothing.
they are mere men and no better than you!
even if it wasn’t a judicial interrogation , you should never feel obligated to them.
My mistake was to be honest, trusting, and friendly. I was DF with no tangible evidence bar my own admittance that I had had a meal with my wife's carer in broad daylight (deemed to be 'brazen conduct') to repay her care
was the carer disfellowshipped ?

if elders ask you why no FS or meeting attendance--just say you dont feel like it at the moment.
so one of the elders at the meeting tonight addressed to parents in his talk, “if your child wants to flip burgers for the rest of their life, because that’s is the only job that will allow them to have a schedule for full time service, you would want to support them the best you can.” he has also said told parents that if their children already have plans to go to college, even in the near future, they should try to do everything to stop them.
there’s so much ranting i could do about that alone, but to make matters worse, this is a considerably well off man.
he has his own buisness, a nice house with an additional room he added on last year, and him and his wife just took a lavish european trip.
@ Addison0998
may i ask why youre still attending meetings ?
a regular guy went into a vape store in georgia recently, to buy his wife some liquid for her e-cigarettes.
his big mistake was to wear a trump t-shirt.
the shop assistant went completely mental because of the t-shirt.. the customer remained calm throughout and eventually got the product he wanted (i think).. but what a scene!
i'm surprised it didnt end up in a gunfight.
wt study october 2018. maintain inner peace despite changing circumstances.
lloyd and alexandra learn that they have been reassigned to the field, they at first felt sad.

ok Nat--heres a fact. my (jw) dad passed away in january 2016. i organised the funeral:
doctors attendance fee to confirm death and issue death certificate--he died in a care home
funeral directors charge for one hearse with 4 pall bearers. 1 basic coffin
crematorium fee.
funeral director said a few words. there was no service at all --.just the committal.
there were 5 of us present.
total cost--£3,000 plus some small change. thats pounds sterling--not dollars.
thats the way it is in the UK. most funerals will cost double that.
