Lisa, wow, you're a saint. LOL
As for me, I've smoked, drank to excess, purchased, rolled, and smoked blunts. Other than that, I'm a pretty easy-going guy. LOL

remember those signs the brothers used to carry around the conventions in the corridors during the sessions?
"quiet please".
"please be seated".

the "please be seated" post rememded me of our experiences at the last district assemblies we attended.. it was in the nynex / manchester evening news arena and it was hot ... damn hot.
they were obviously being 'cheap' and not paying for the air conditioning to be turned on.. liam was a baby and was becoming unwell because of the heat.
he was overheating badly which is pretty dangerous at that age so we stripped him off and took him out up the steps to the concourse.
Ahhh Simon, I wish I'd had your guts the year before my wife passed away. We were attending the DC @ Veterans Stadiumin Philadelphia(notoriously hot in the summer). My wife was in pretty bad shape, but but being as young as she was, she didnt like the thought of using a walker, or wheelchair. So, she struggled, holding my arm and walking quite gingerly.
There was no way she could have sat in the sun, so we chose seats which were in a shaded area, and reserved for elderly and infirmed. At our first attempt, a badged boob(attendant) came to us and told us that we couldnt sit there. I told him, "Shes ill." His response, "she doesnt look sick." So we went to another section of the stadium.
Again, we were told we ouldnt use that section. Again, I explained our situation. His response' "Well, whats wrong with her?" I told him, " Like I said, shes ill."
Apparently, one cant be young, and terminally ill in the BORG.
My wife looked @ me with tears in her eyes, and said, Lets go home." I readily agreed. We ended going to another convention a few weeks later @ Naussau Coliseum in L.I., NY. It was an indoor arena, so the only concern as not having too many steps to climb.
Such love that they didnt even trust what I was telling them.

Ok, I dont know who did this one first, but I have heard several versions:
On Broadway
I like George Bensons live version the best.
I know I have violated the rules, but I prefer a spanking instead of a black eye. A black eye would serve no purpose, because no one will be able to see it. :-P

below is a link to a site by who i believe to be along time jw and an article he has written basically justifying the watchtowers stance on the pedophile issue.
the gist of it i got was that since there is so much more of it in other religions, it isn't all that bad within the jws.
what a pity they won't open their eyes;.
I love this crap!!! JWs come to about JWs site, and take issue at the fact that the topics talk about JW's!!!
Hilda, if you want to talk about the pedophile problem in the Catholic Church, go to a Catholic site.
The news and media are NOT fixated on JWs, but rather on pedophilia in churches-NO ONE is exempt. It is disgusting, and needs to brought out NO MATTER what religion it is.
I dare say, the Catholic Chuch has gotten 1000x more press than JWs on this issue in the past few months. So, If a murderer was preying on innocent children, you'd want him/her found and identified, and brought to justice. DEMAND the same of the JW leadership.
Numbers aren't important. It is a prolific enough problm in many denominations, and SOMETHING must be done to stop it.
We need a national law to require ALL churches to report allegations to authorities, just as teachers, counselors, etc. are required to do.
KUDOs to the Catholic Church. WHY? Because, they are moving forward w/o such a law. They are coming forth, and being honest with the R&F.
JW's, the self-proclaimed "moral high ground" of religions SHOULD NOT need a law to report these allegations. One would think that the higher standard they claim would move them to report alleged crimes in EVERY state, not just the ones which require it.
F*CK "ecclesial privelege".

Helle Raven, and welcome.
