Well I'm sorry but my "natural affection' for my mother is long gone and I'm pretty sure there is no getting it back after the abuse and shunning for 35 years. SORRY! I will be helping with her this weekend however since I'm not that bad of a guy but I HATE being ordered around by my uber edler witness cousin. And being lied to as well, he said he needed to spend time with his dad(my uncle) this weekend and I found out from another family member that my uncle is out of town with my cousin's daughter!!! Oh and do you think he'll be available to help me if I ever needed it? Bet you a million dollars NOT!!!

My uber JW mother fell and broke her arm a couple of weeks ago. First off no one told me until 5 days later when I called to check in with her. There was someone staying with her at the time but that person was going to have to go elsewhere for a week. A couple of women in the congregation stepped up and filled the gap. My cousin who is in charge of her estate and is power of attorney was out of town and is now back and calls me up saying "well maybe you could "help out" with my mom over the weekend. WTF? Really? He's an uber elder in the congregation and I'm so pissed that he can't bother to call me any other time or bother to keep me informed but now he "needs" me. I didn't commit at all because I think the people in the congregation need to step up. My mother has pioneered for 40 years and has always been active in the congregation and I thought she had a lot of friends. Where the heck are they now????

No birthdays but they go all out for anniversaries and baby showers. I've seen some elaborate wedding anniversary parties
back in the '80s and '90's that cost $$$$ and was bringing undo attention to the married couple.

BOE 2014-07-11 Use of ministerial servants where the number of elders is limited
by WatchTower87 into all bodies of elders.
the congregation secretary should arrange for this letter to be retained in the congregation permanent file of policy letters.
he may also wish to update the congregation copy of the index to lettersfor bodies of elders (s-22) at this time as well.

RC's and IC's: Are buses the new profit center?
by zed is dead inlocally there was a very strong push for everybody to ride the bus to the international convention.
they discouraged driving to the stadium and were not as crazy about booking rooms through the society.
my guess is that they are getting a cut of the bus fares that they organize.

Yes I thought that was rather curious myself about the Intl Convention in Seattle. My mom who lives in Lynnwood 15 miles
away took the rented buses all three days and was told that the parking was a 'mess' etc by the elders so that why the buses were
"required." Well they have a giant parking lot to accommodate the college football games so that could have been used.
Funny they didn't encourage people to ride buses to the Tacoma Dome when that parking scam went down and they were charging people
for parking when it wasn't required.

Another PR / marketing website for a JW international convention - this time Seattle
by sir82 inhere is the link: http://seattledelegates.org/.
i would guess this is the wave of the future.
a secondary channel of business revenue for the wts - compensation for recommending restaurants, tours, etc.

Yes the traffic around the U-District and Lake Union should be just nuts on Friday! The traffice starts way before the
fireworks program! Perfect! Wonder how many delegates will wander over to Gasworks Park and watch the fireworks. Oh and the evening programs
is being held at Bell Harbor Conference Center or the Renassiance Hotel are not going to be cheap either.
The Renassiance is s 4 star hotel. I'm sure they could have found something cheaper and closer to Husky Stadium like
the Silver Cloud but I guess that wasn't fancy enough! And guess who pays for all this? HA!

Are all conventions doing this or is it just Seattle? Seattle seems to have a rich amount of JW's to support this.
I think one of my cousins is putting together some song mix CD for the delegates which I thought was rather
strange since she's using worlding songs and not JW songs.
Is there only one convention held at Husky Stadium?

One of my smart ass friends gave me the public copy of the Watchtower for June 1st, 2014 and the main article
is about "God's view on smoking." Okay it goes on and on about how we need to keep our body "clean" and
undefiled blah blah blah. Why doesn't this apply to alcohol too? Alcohol is harmful to the body or can be.
There's this line in the article that says "Jehovah wants us to be free from practices that harm our body but also from
those that corrupt our spirit, that is, our dominant mental inclination." The article goes blabs on but that sentence
could be applied to the consumpton of alcohol too! Wonder how many would leave if they decided to
ban alcohol? HA! I know there is no logic with the JW's but what the article says can apply to booze too. I guess they don't
see that!

Disfellowshipping and reinstatement
by Lynnie inso i was visiting my older cousin who has been out of the jw's for many years but is still favorable.
to the whole nonsense and seems to be on the fence still after 35 years and she asked me "have you ever.
thought about going back?

Lynnie
Yes I think that's the thing that bothers me the most, my cousin doesn't want to say anything
negative (about anything!) but it's obvious she doesn't want to go back all that much either. I know
she and I both hated going door to door and that is a big requirement of all JW's. Funny how
people can have blinders on for years!
