disfellowshipping

by ex-chum in

typically is there a limit to the number of disfellowships a person can receive before they're "out"?

i'm specifically referring to my ex, who has a marriage/relationship that results in a babyx2.

she just mentioned that it was harder to get back into good graces this last time.

Did you really pay attention at conventions or assemblies?

by donny in

a co-worker of mine whose family (2 daughters, wife) are jw's related a funny story yesterday.

his wife and daughters missed the friday portion of the convention last week in order to attend a wedding of a worldly relative.

at dinner she mentioned to him that she would go to the convention this friday to make up for the one she missed.. he then asked why and she said so she could get the information she missed.

Not as much as I do now.

I also remember streakers. Only had a couple in the conventions I attended back in the 70s. Sadly, we only had cold white guys making the dash.

Tiger's mental mistakes

by AK - Jeff in

tiger woods blamed his mental mistakes for his loss in the us open.

i agree with his statement.

the open was there for the grabbing by any of the big names on the leader board.

Kind of harsh, don't you think?
