  i can count on one hand the number of times i have spoken to larc's sister since his death last fall... she will briefly chat if i make the effort to phone her - but doesn't call me.

  yesterday, i did phone her - to tell of her of some family news that i felt she should know.

  she told me they had spent the labor day removing wallpaper, that was already in the home when they moved in.

  I'd appreciate some insight on what my mother claims was said at assembly

  okay, well my mother called this evening and was all emotional about her one day assembly.

  i was shocked she brought it up, as we just do not mention the religion anymore, but lately little things keep getting said at her conventions and assemblies that seem to be making this line something she wants to cross more these days.

  what she brought up, was something i had not heard mentioned on here and i wanted some insight from people who actually heard it or knew more about it.

  are maybe they might feel that with all going on in the news that some may feel "special" that the elders are taking time out to call on them and "feel the love" and want to come back because times are bad with all the wars and stuff...

  The work of preaching will no longer focus on the neighborhoods of nonbelievers, but rather on trying to get those who have left (disfellowshipped, disassociated, and the inactive) to come back to the religion. Elders, Ministerial Servants, and spiritually strong publishers will be making an active effort to let those who left know, the preaching work is over and this is a sign of the end being ever more near. This will be their final warning, of sorts."

  HMMM..I think there might be some truth to this..when I read it I was like OOOOOOO thats what's going on...Recently I was given the message thru my JW mom that both of my uncles that are elders are NOW AVAILABLE to answer any questions I might have after almost 9 yrs of me being df'd they're just now being available. I was like wtf at first but now I see...

  So that might be part of the big announcement..."Those pubs that are "strong" may have new territory....da'd, df'd, and inactive ones....

  BRING IT ON BABY!!!

  I watched his show all the time and stupidly even tried one of his pick up a snake on a stick moves recently. (it was only a baby snake). But I heard about it this morning and the headline was just Croc Hunter tragedy and instantly thought a croc/snake had got him. But a sting ray? So sad for him and his family and Sui.

  RIP Steve

  Did you,or anyone in your Hall come to Meeting Drunk?Anything funny happen?

  we used to have this guy that came to bookstudy drunk and he would mumble all through it, and fall asleep and wake up yelling an answer.

  i never went to meeting drunk, but i certainly drank a few to get me through sometimes, took the edge off the continual damnation spewing from the stage.

  another "sister" used put kahlua in her coffee cup in service.

  Insurance news letter from January 2004 re:hiring JW's

  i hope this is ok to post this news article.

  its an insurance/news letter that i purchased online.

  i am thinking of distributing to local hospital human resource departments to inform them of their need to ask questions when hiring people with religious views that may affect their work.

  from personal experience i feel you should distribute...

  i had a procedure done once that nooo oneee knew about except people in the dr's office. One of the nurses/helpers was not a JW but her mom was and I also knew the girl but at this point in time i wasn't thinking about "oh hell she knows me". But I have no doubt that she probably told her mom about me getting the procedure, and mom probably went to the elders...but i was pretty much "out" at that time anyway...when time came for JC meeting my dr's visit was never brought up among all the questions but i feel they probably knew. edited to add...i didn't try to sue either..i didn't have proof she told anything...but i had that feeling...a strong feeling...

  on another note...in my line of work i have access to confidential information on people. But never have I used this info to rat out anyone. BUUUTTT recently a prostitution sting in my area netted a JW- MS. It was on the local news and the newscaster said the names of all those arrested is on our website...I looked at the names and saw that one was a person a knew...this was not secret info but was able to be accessed by anyone...I told my mom about the person and she told my uncle that is a elder....The message given to me was beware of giving info like this because of my job....My job had nothing to do with this..anyone with a computer could have looked it up...my thoughts is that one of their own had been caught trying to pick up a prostitute and like always they wanted to sweep it under the rug...i haven't heard anything else about the matter cuz if they did investigate it any it does take a few weeks..but if he denies its him..what can i do...so many people have the same name and i guess he can lie about his date of birth...but they are such FBI/CIA agents when they want to be...i bet this goes no where...

  i think i know someone that got their baptism annulled....but i guess she went over all her 200 questions or whatever and the brothers never told her if she was "approved" or not for baptism...but at the assembly she was baptized anyway....but later it was going around the congo that it didnt count because the brothers didnt tell her she was approved...

  i dont think she redid the baptism tho...i mean for the first time she had family come from out of state and everything to see her get dunked..

  i've always posted my unbelievable stories and read others....but has anyone ever heard this one about the brother testing his fiancee's faith in Jehovah??

  bro doe and sis doette go on a picnic after field service. bro doe tells sis doette that he really doesn't want to be a JW anymore. So he goes and gets his bookbag out of the car and flings it TOWARDS the pond nearby. (it landed on the bank)...so sis doette is shocked at first but then goes to the car and gets her bookbag and flings it in the pond. (it goes into the water)..she's all happy and smiling thinking no more meetings, etc. bro doe then looks at her and goes to pick up his bookbag and tells her, i was just testing to see if you really loved Jehovah. you threw your bag so hard it went all the way in the water...we are no longer engaged...

  i say lucky sis doette
