Oh yeah, Bethelites are always finding deals on airfare and such. Plus friends from their congregations will offer to fly them out or at least help them out so they can do an extended trip to attend their home congregations District Convention.

I went on vacations as often as I could. Officially you get one day off for each calendar month you work (12 days in a year). But, you usually seem to find more time off than that. I always did.
Lots of times we would do an all night weekend driving trip. Leaving just after work on Friday and returning in time for work on Monday morning. Yes, we weren't too productive on that Monday. You can't do that all the time because you only get one Saturday a month off if you're a brother.

Tom,
Can you provide some stories on what being friends with Sydlik was like?

Exactly Mulan. My first thought when reading the article was how bad an example the Williams' are for the witnesses. Did you ever see their reality show? Oh man that was really bad. If they're not marked I would simply be amazed.

Hang in there.
Tell her that your love for your family is evident in the fact that she has the necessary things to go in service (like a car, gas, nice clothing, etc) and the freedom to spend the family's money on her cause.

I saw it too. Read it.
All in all it was an ok article. It brought up the 1999 WT QFR about voting being a conscience matter and that even if witnesses did vote they wouldn't be courted by anyone because their just too small a segment of society.

The contagion is spreading - lots of people quietly leaving JWs
by truthseeker infrom reading reports on jwd it seems that many are in the process of quietly leaving the watchtower organization.. it's almost become disease like - and spreading rapidly, even acutely in lands where access to information is greater.. people who i've known for years have suddenly disappeared - it reads like a stephen king novel.. what have you noticed?.

Actually I've recently discovered a couple people who moved to a new town and new hall - actually moved and faded.
I was completely taken aback to realize they faded away and I didn't even know it. Of course, they were just as surprised to find out I faded too.
I've noticed a lot less energetic activity being performed by even the most zealous dubs. It's become a tradition or routine. The message has lost its emergency factor.

I remember the the bridge day and the knife in the desk speech.
I absolutely loved getting an early dismissal from work. Whether it was Gildead graduation day or the memorial.
The only way to escape the bethel police was to tip your housekeeper regularly.

Hi all
by SailAway ini have decided to join this forum after quite a long time lurking here (a number of years actually).. i have been out of the truth for a while and recently started to attend some meetings.
but i now think a bit more freely and wonder whether i am doing the right thing.
a cousin of mine regularly posts on here, didgeridoo in fact i have seen him today, speaking to him has made me decide to finally post on here, although i have my reservations whether i am doing the right thing.
