i could get there early, and save you all some seats!
at least i would have someone to talk to after the meeting
I wouldn't give them the benefit of my presence
This would show them that you are wrong not them.
I would never allow them to have the opportunity to look down on me, If it was me in this situation, I would go with my chin up, and smile. Never let them see you sweat. That is the best way to show them that you are an individual with self love and respect that you will not be oppressed by the society and cong.

i wonder why brooklyn doesn't lighten up on it's treatment of it's young folk.
it's almost inevitable that the majority of young folk are going to walk away from the jw's as they get older.. after all, who wants to be told whether they can dance or not, whether or not they can have a boyfriend / girlfriend, whether they should pursue an education or not?.
growing up always involves a degree of rebellion against the status quo.
I think that the borgs restrictive rules, helped me to questions things and heavily influenced my descision to leave. You would think that the society would try to understand all the changes you go through in adolescence, but they choose to ignore this topic completely and remind young people that obidience is next to godliness, and if you act out or rebel you are obviously spiritualy weak and satan is influencing you.

so i asked my jw friend, if her younger sister chose to date/marry a man who was not jw, would she shun her like i have read here?
she responded by saying that her sis would never do that....... .
i responded by asking again....what if she did?
What if you are having difficulty finding a suitable marriage mate from among fellow believers? "I?m 26 years old, single, and really lonely," said one sister. True, being single may be difficult for you, but the problems resulting from being unevenly yoked in marriage can be even more difficult! Obeying God?s counsel may require faith, self-control, and patience, but be assured that Jehovah knows and desires what is best for you. (1 Peter 5:6, 7) Make it a matter of prayer, and then wait on Jehovah. (Psalm 55:22) In this system of things, no one has a perfectly satisfying life. Your heart may yearn for a mate. Others, though, have their share of problems, some of which are incurable in this system. Only in the coming new world will "the desire of every living thing" be completely satisfied.?Psalm 145:16.
What a crock of S**T!
How sad, to make you sit there and wait, they don't even answer the Q, they just tell you no one else is happy either, what kind of an answer is that?

It would be so funny to see the looks of the people in the hall as they heard and saw all the clapping and cheering after a da announcement. They would not have a clue how to respond.
We should start a support group for people being df'd, and show up at their KH and clap and congratulate the newly df'd person after the announcement is made. Any suggestions?

what i want to be able to do is play music from my computer through my stereo receiver so it plays out through speakers i have hooked up to the computer and speakers that are hooked up to the receiver at the same time.
currently there are speakers connected to the stereo receiver located outdoors and in my living room.
i would like to be able to add another set in the basement as well and have the capability to have all of them playing at the same time in addition to the speakers already connected to the computer.
Ipod?

Jillbedford,
Mature at 8? No one at that age is mature enough to make a life altering decision, that you will have to live with for the rest of your life.
Just look at what you wrote about your friends behavior, does that sound mature to you?

at this week's service meeting it a letter was read to all congregations in usa:
bethel wants lawyers, lawyers specializing in tax law, and cpa's.
if you are in any of these professions you were supposed to talk to the po that evening.
Hey Big D,
This announcement describes you perfectly, CPA and a tax attorney. You should give them a call and then................
Go to your old cong request to see the elders explain that you are willing to help if.................then let your pants down bend over and well............ I am sure you can figure out the rest.

like many others here with family still living in dubland, i have the awkward relationship where they feel quite within their right to proffer mind altering literature yet any mention of the wtbts shenanigans sends them into a fit of apoplexy.
what to do i hear you ask?
well i have, to quote the popular pimpled lackey ?a cunning plan?.
I think this is a very marketable idea, you should print them, I would buy one and wear it to apostafest!
