Den of Iniquity
by CC Ryder inback in the early 90's i went thru a divorce due to adultery on the part of my wife...she got involved with a ms from a neighboring cong....who...he and his wife were our best friends...i lasted a year up north where it took place and left for the south....our case was one of 9 cases in that one year period....not to mention the birth of a child to the wt conductors daughter...out of wedlock....he remained the wt cond.
by the way....is this a special experience i had or have some of you ran accross such a "rash" of similar experiences??
?....call me old fashioned....but...i believe in commitment to your mate...if it ends...let me know it's over before the nasty deed is done...my ex wanted out of our marraige....and because of the rule in the borg...she devised a way to do it and give me the freedom to remarry...some of the other 9 cases involved an elder and a pioneer wife of a ms..my ex and the ms's ex were both pioneers....and the others were ms's and sisters with a lot of years in the borg...i am now blessed with a great wife and companion (tinkerbell4125 as you all know her)!!!!.

Seeker...I had the same guilt laid on me....and the "you should know better" speech...but remember it is a cult and the damages a cult does to peoples minds....your mother is just doing what she knows to do....everyone is right...you never know what she may do ....I recently talked to an old friend from way back in the early 70's...He was an elder and I never would have imagined him leaving...yet he's out and he's activley trying to help people see the wrong in what they are being taught...I use patience with my Dad..when I first left he used to subscribe the Mag's for me without me asking him to...one day he asked me if I enjoyed them...I politely took the opportunity to tell him I really do not have the time to read them...maybe it would be better to not waste them on me since I am so busy...and I would use other simple and tactful rebuttles as that...Stay calm and try not to get in a angered discussion...if you use your own inner feelings as your guide you might serve as an example to your Mom and she may have cause to think about things some day...Hang in their Girl...we enjoy your company here and enjoy your postings...CC
PS: Tink and I were in it together because we left at the same time...I had a hard time at first staying calm but I observed how she handled her Mom...and learned the benifits in not being confrontational.

My first experience was pretty funny...I was 14 and had more friends out of the Borg than in....I coaxed my parents to stay overnight at one of my buddy's if I promised to go out in service after sundays meeting...We got a couple of six packs of beer and headed to the local drive in theater which was within walking distance of his house...we met up with about twenty other kids from our school and hung out way in the back up on a high embankment....we all passed around what ever we brought...Scotch mixed with Coca Cola...Vodka....some Smoke....not too long into it we ran out...and my buddy said...."lets go..i know where we can get some more"....We headed back to where he lived but stopped about three houses before his house...it was where his older sister and brother-in-law lived....the basement hatch was open and he snuck in and came back with another quart of Scotch....I was already pretty blind....but we kept walking and decided to go down to another buddy's neighborhood where he had a tree fort....on the way we got loud and falling down...it started raining...and we got in front of this one house and the lights came on...we were whooping it up and they threatened to call the police...so we went on and finally made it into the tree fort...I don't remember most of that night other than puking my guts out all night.....and walking six miles back to my house...it was Saturday morning....my dad went out in service....so when he came home and saw this green to the gills little dumby sick as a dog...he knew exactly what I did...he didn't punish me too bad....but reminded me about service the next day....Well...after the Sunday meeting I was still feeling sick...not puking but dizzy and Hot....we went out in service and the very first house we got to (Return Visit,remember that term) ....I ain't kidding.... was the house that put the lights on and threatened us...we went inside and my Dad did all the talking....about ten minutes into it I started weaving back and forth...another brother was with us and he told me later that I just went straight back and crashed onto the floor...lights out!!!!....My Dad made up a story about how I had been sick with a flu......LOLOL....and we went home. I listened to the evils of alcohol speech for weeks on end.....LOLOL

Alternative lyrics to kingdom songs
by Matty inhave you ever sung alternative lyrics to kingdom songs during a meeting or a convention?
to qualify they have to sound very similar to the actual words so you can get away with it without too much attention being drawn to yourself.
here are three examples, i'm sure there are many more, so please feel free to add!.
