Should't we own a part of the Kingdom Hall?
by JH inafterall, most of us spent years there.
many of us took our time and money to build the hall.
many of us renovated the hall afterwards.. shouldn't the halls belong to the ones who built it and put money into it and who go there regularly?.

See Ya Next Year!
by HadEnuf in(emotional music swelling in background) good-by hostas, roses, coneflowers and daisies.
farewell astilbe, vinca, hops, black-eyed susans.
adieu to sweet potato vines, ferns, day lilies and cat mint.

IAN.....t-shirts still? That's SO not fair......* pours myself a wee glass of scotch*.....

Unbelieving husbands- blessing in disguise?
by dido ini was married to an `unbelieving` husband for the 25 years i was a jw and i divorced him a few years ago, before i got d/f, but looking back now, he was a blessing in disguise, as in some ways i kept up to date with the `world` altho` i didn`t get involved with anything in it, apart from shopping at sainsburys on a sat afternoon.
the rest of the time i was too busy looking after my kids and getting to meetings etc.so didn`t have any spare time, esp as he was quite demanding, but it was a protection living in a `divided household` as i didn`t have to be 100% reliant on the org.
has anyone else in retrospect thought that it has saved them from a lot of problems that occurred in the congs?

Oh you betchya....because of my unbelieving mate, I finally had the courage to walk out and not look back. I always knew, though, that I'd never marry "in the truth"....

How did you feel, when you missed your 1st Memorial?
by JH ini remember going to each memorial even when i was inactive.
i felt that i had to go to atleast that meeting.. then one year, i was sick on that day, and didn't go to the memorial.
it was a funny feeling to miss the most important day of the year, as a jw would call it.. but i got used to it, when i missed my 2nd and 3rd memorial..

I felt incredibly guilty, the first year I did not attend. The next year became easier, the third year, I forgot, until I noticed the full moon. I haven't been in over 8 years.

I saw a beautiful thing yesterday --- a gift from God
by jgnat inyesterday i saw a couple i hadn't seen for many years sitting together on the bus.
i'd always wondered if they had managed to stay together.
they looked the same, save a few more dry wrinkles, as they did twenty years ago.

MY SON WAS ATTACKED!
by Dansk inyesterday afternoon my older son, karl, who is studying musical production at brighton university, came round to see his family.
he had just been to see his pregnant girlfriend, who is staying with her mum and dad for a week.. karl is a wonderful boy; the type of son any parent would be proud of.
he is loving, considerate, respectful and has never once caused any trouble or been in any.

I'm so glad your son is ok, Ian. Good thing he could outrun them, or it may have been uglier than it was. Best of wishes to you all.

What would you notice first if you went back to a Kingdom Hall?
by JH infirst thing i'd notice is how the old ones got so much older and how the kids became adults and are taller than me.. next thing i'd notice would be how long and dull the meetings are.. *yawn*.

The first thing I'd notice, would be the glaring eyes of a certain, newly appointed elder, wishing I'd turn right round and leave before anyone saw me. I'd sit right behind him, and make him squirm throughout the meeting.
I dunno, but he looks like he got the debbil all up inside he head....look at them eyes....* shudder*
