The C.O. checks up on the Congregations and asks why they haven't been in touch with DF'd persons locally. If they have not been in touch then he reminds them it time to do so. I bet this is all it is. Also they assign each Elder different name, so that is why the Elder that called and asked about your son did not want to talk to you.

I don't need to have someone else cook for me all the time. I only eat out once in awhile. If you let someone else allway cook for you you could be eating posioned food and not know it. So after eating a life time a posion I will not let anyone else posion me.

Boy this sounds weird unless your boy is DF'd. If he is then they are only doing what they are told to do that is visit all the DF'd person locally and ask them if they want back in and then let the DF'd person know they are welcome to come back.

She was woking at the concession stand at an assembly. She fell in love the first time we met. Me however wanted nothing to do with her. Her family a year later moved into my congregation and we became friends. Friends is all that I wanted but as things turn out I reconginized she was the one for me and after a year of dating we were married 21 years ago. I married my best friend I was not madly in love at the time, she was really good looking. We did everything together for years before we dated. Our parents saw us as brother and sister not as anything else. Our parents would not let us date anyone else with out chaperones but did not care we spent hours together without chaperones, niether did the congregation care. We enjoy our life together deeply.

I have been there but on the other side. Why in the world would a body of Elders take care of this the way yours did. Put out of the group inorder to make you aware you are the problem. This is acting in a loving way at all. Who it should of been handled was to briefly mention it to you and if that did not work to talk to you privately never like the way they did. What this tells me is you have a very intolarant Elder Body that is unloving and demanding. Watch out!!!

Why Iraq Is So Desperately Important
by metatron inthe subject of politics often comes up on this board, inevitably.
whatever our opinions on the subject are, most of us share a common.
struggle against the demands of religion(s) that seek to dominate and ruin your life, whether the "truth" or something else.. sad to say, everytime the human race seems to be generally ready to shake off the shackles of controlling religious bigots, something.

I get mad when I hear stupidity on this level. Bush lied to us and the WORLD now it is hitting him in the ass. I hope he gets impeached then taken out and hung as a traitor. Then we need to elect someone to clean up the mess Bush created. Yes, this will mean going after the NEW TERRORIST THAT Bush created. There is more people ready to kill themselves now than five years ago. We can thank Bush for this. The world was tolorant of the U.S. going after Afganistan where the Terrorist were hiding. But not Iraq.

If I was told the truth by Mr. BUSHMAN then I would say yes. I wrote my congressman before the war and told him All the SHIT that Bush was telling was not ttrue and gave the referrences to prove Bush was lying. Funny thing now all of a sudden my congressman is say the same thing I was before the war, but the letter he sent me at the time said, I was full of crap and needed to get behind my country and it Leader.
