Did anyone catch last nights Sat. Night Live? U2 was the musical guest's and they Rocked!! They played three songs. "Vertigo" was the first song they played, which is their new release due out this week. The second song I didn't recognize, it might be off the new release also. They closed the end of the show with "I Will Follow" and let me tell you those Irish Boys still Kick Ass!!!
Anyone else a U2 fan?

i was home the other night, minding my own business, when the phone rang.
the number was blocked on my caller id, but i answered anyways.
lo and behold!
Hi nb dfed,
It's all about power and control. A big complaint I used to have was that you never heard about good accomplishments in the same way you heard about peoples misfortunes or change of status ie: Removed or deleted as Elder, MS, or pioneer. DFed or DAed. Sister so-in-so's Hubby cheated on her, or visa-versa. Nobody spread the word that so-in-so was back on the pioneer list or so-in-so is a MS or Elder. Bad news always was the first to spread. The WTS has the dubs trained to jump at the first chance to turn someone in for a mistake. Everyone seemed to just love DIRT!
My wife Tinkerbell4125 and I went through a similar deal. None of the Elders or friends came to visit or call us until one of Tinks Bro-in-laws saw a Xmas card at her sister's (Sister wasn't a JW), then they descended on us like the plague.
I'm sorry to hear what you went through. I wouldn't answer the phone anymore if you know it's from one of the Elders.
We have a neighbor who is a JW. Her husband isn't a JW. When she found out by talking with my wife we were DAed, she called up my father (at the time was an Elder) and asked for the situation on us and what to do. She then had an Elder from her Hall call us with the same deal as the Elder who called you. Long story short, she was told that because we didn't write a letter to DA ourselves and the Congregation Elders made the choice to announce our DAing, as if we did write a letter, than "technically" in his mind, we weren't DAed. So she tried to become friends with Tink. That lasted about 5 minutes. Tink politely told her we were never going back to the WTS, period. That solved that. She hasn't bothered us since.
Wish you the best with your situation.

how's it going this fair weekend with you?
catching your breath after a hectic week?
well, take the opportunity of taking a break with a good drink, (a shiraz is best!
Hi Ozzie!
I wasn't late usually. If I did run late, I tried not to disturb the others so I tried getting a seat near the back. I have however used #5 and blended into #6 once when the CO was visiting and I was late.

i was thinking for all you guys who go the kingdom hall even though you know it's not the truth,, in order to keep from loosing all your friends and family,, why not take advantage of the wt free literature at your kh?
i mean the wt is forcing you to go to meetings with the threat of being outcasted from your family why not put a little dent in their finances but getting all the free literature you can and not contibuting anything for it.
after all the wt is offering it free of charge.
Hey Dave, I did that for years. I never took money from householders and never turned any in out of my own pocket (like they also suggested). That didn't seem to work, of course I wasn't part of a well organised diabolical plot like you just layed out...LOL...it might just work!!!
Hope your doin' alright buddy...I still owe you a phone call huh?
Congrats to Preston on Jedi staus!!!!
