heeheehee,
I remember this all too well. Just a couple weeks ago my sister bought me a smurf at a garage sale. I sat it on my entertainment center, where everyone who comes in has to see it. My mom did a double take, but never said a word!

when word came down that a smurf jumped up in the middle of a meeting, yelled 'i've had enough of this shit!
' and stormed out, i was probably 9 years old.
at the time i had a smurf record.

not sure if this has been talked about but,
when i was about 12, my family and i were sitting in the middle of the kingdumb hall, i was seated at the end of the aisle, and some lady sitting about 7 rows in front of us got up and started yelling, and ran up to the speaker, two guys grabbed her and took her outside, we never saw her again, but i do remember all the rumors about her, and what she did, i saw her clearly but people were saying that she tried to attack the elder with a knife, i did not see a knife, other rumors were drugs, demons, apostate, etc.
has anyone here been removed from the kingdumb hall by force?
While this wasn't at a kingdom hall, I got the priviledge of turning the tables on 2 sets of elders during 2 seperate incidents. While working at a hospital in downtown Dallas, they tried to interfere in the care of my patients. They weren't too happy that because of me, the doctors stayed one step ahead of them. As a result, two lives were saved because they were given blood. The stories are in my post history for more details. As a result, the staff now knows "how" to better deal with them! Oh, and did they ever give a "witness" to the staff!
It was a "pricesless" moment, like Mastercard says!

hi every one i am not sure if i am posting in the right place or not but just wanted to say a quick hello.
i am a disfellowshiped (ex brother of 27 years), they did this to me nearly eight years ago after forming a commitee with two lying elders (one decent) who didn'nt like my father who was the presiding overseer at the time and stand in circut overseer.
i was married for six years at the age of 19 and when i decided to have a break from her it all hit the fan and the lies started about me.
Welcome Pat1. We all look forward to getting to know you better. We have a special "family" here!
(((((Pat1)))))

They say Mules, Missourians and JWs are the hardest animals to re-train! Welcome and bring your hsbnd on. We'd love having you both!carmel
I resemble that remark! Payinu- Welcome to the board, from one Missourian to another. Can I ask where you are from? You can always PM me. I'm in Columbia. shelley
this is one of the best-written and most insightful experiences i've read.
if you're interested in how bethel's writing department actually works, and recent scandals, this is a thought-provoking story.
i like this woman already.. it's very lengthy, so grab a cup of good coffee or a glass of wine, and settle in for a long read: .

wish me good luck, good fortune or whatever it is you should wish somebody that needs it.
my wife and i have job interviews today at the same company.
she has been looking for work for a long time now.
Many blessings and good energy your way! Let us know how it goes.

ok, i think everyone has an outfit they own that possibly is just to be worn when alone.
on laundry day when there are no other clothes to wear, these items come out of our closets and get worn through the home.
wearing these outfits guarantees that company will show up.
Mine is an OLD, ratty oversized men's flannel shirt. My stepmom, daughter, exhubby, and various old boyfriends have tried, to no avail, and throw it out. It outlasted the hubby and boyfriends. It doesn't even have sleeves anymore. Now it's just the principle!!
I thought this would be a thread about smurfs, too. Or something weird like that! My sister, has a joke, got me a smurf at a garage sale. It's setting on my entertainment center and stares at all who enter. Can't wait for my JW mom to pop in!
.
that is, if you are able to without the prospect of facing a three-man kangaroo court appointed by jerhover to keep the congregation clean from apostate influences.. i'll go first: .
I need to show a bit more cleavage!
my wife's family is driving me crazy.
two of her nephews borrowed money from us a few weeks ago and didn't pay us back and then tried to commit suicide because of problems with their wives.
they both take drugs and are not mature enough to live a normal life.
I'm sorry for what you are going thru. But it sounds like you and your wife are about the only things your grandkids having going right for them. I have been where your kids are...drugs, suicide attempts,etc. If my sisters and daughter hadn't patiently stood by me, I'd have never gotten out alive. Have faith. Your are in my prayers (and your kids). Have they talked about rehab or a twelve step program? I fought it for a long time. It has finally sunk in.

brothers!!!
