tuesday nights i conducted the theocratic ministry school and usually had a service meeting part.
wednesday nights i had a bible study with a family from the territory.
Billzfan,
Thank you for filling us in on your progress. Please let us know how everything turns out with custody once the divorce is final. Also, let us know the story of how you found your new girlfriend, as it might be encouraging to those in a similar situation.
Thanks again

hello all.. first of all i wanted to say thank you for all the help i've received from you all in recent months.
my life has changed completed in such a short amount of time, and some of the things that have happened recently have finally just "hit" me as of late.
i definitely need to take more time to just stop and think, actually accept the changes, and adjust.
Robert,
I have enjoyed getting to know you on this board. Good luck on all of your endeavors (especially school), and I'll see you later when you return.

so my mom sends me this to me and i hate these jw forward things- .
i want to have a good response when she asks if i got it- because i feel like it has nothing to do with jw's, just a coincidence.
i feel like she thinks i hate god, but it has nothing to do with him- it's the religion itself.
I think I'm gonna hurl! JK
when i was a small child one of my earliest memories is watching my father make a cigarette.
the wts had not yet made smoking a df'ing offense.
we were always poor and dad didn't spend money on ready made cigarettes.
When I was young, I did not have a desire to smoke. My father (non-JW) was a big smoker. My suits were kept in the same closet as his, and the elders would keep asking me if I was smoking because of the scent. It was a big hassle.
I tried it a few times as a teen and adult, no major thrill, and I didn't understand why people did it. I always liked drink much more.
Then drinking became a problem for me, and I couldn't control it anymore. After getting DF'ed for drinking, I took up smoking when attending meetings to help with my problem. That and as a form of rebelllion against the Jerks that kicked me out.
Now it is six years later, and I wish that I never started. I toy with the idea of quitting, but have not tried to yet. I do find it ridiculous that smoking is a DF offense though.

I would have to be a dog. Especially looking for pussy (cats) to chase.

letter to elders, dated march 24, 2000. in reporting cases when individuals have disassociated themselves by engaging in nonneutral activities, the following direction should be followed.. the implication of their action should be reported in harmony with scriptural guidelines.
therefore, when completing the s-77 form, please use such expressions as "violated neutrality" or "took a nonneutral course.
" isaiah 2:4 and john 15:17-19 support these descriptions, as pointed out on page 101 of pay attention to yourselves and to all the flock.
Such hypocrites! They join the UN as an NGO, and want to disassociate people for far worse things. A$$holes! JK
