I broke every rule there was! Especially all those listed above. I was the one who made the elders work for their titles! Gave them something to do pretty much every week or two!!

A Beginners Guide To Apostacy
by fullofdoubtnow inthis is something trev wrote the other day specially for our friend marion.
she spent most yesterday with us, and shared our "apostadinner" which is what trev called it.
she quite enjoyed the article, which is written in a somewhat tongue - in - cheek style, typical trev really.

Scan of the letter about being prepared for a disaster
by Bonnie_Clyde indoes anyone have the letter and can you scan it?
it was read in all the congregations around here and we are not exactly in a disaster-prone area.
the story i heard was the book study conductors had to come around to the publishers and check off whether they had put up a 6-day supply of food and water, etc.

I don't know if she actually got a letter. I know this was emailed to her in one of her "JW" email circles/groups. I'll see what I can find out.

What one thing reminds you most of being a Witness?
by free2beme inthe mind is full of all kinds of things that can trigger memories.
it could be the taste of a certain spice that reminds you of a now passed relative who liked to cook.
it could be the smell of a perfume or cologne, that reminds you of a lover you once could not live without.

When I was married and knew I was in trouble for something. I always wanted for the elders to show up. Even though, of course, I knew it was silly. It was a feeling I got for a minute. I know this sounds really stupid!
Yep, the gum thing, too.
And yep, nylons and dresses. I bet in many,many years I've only worn a couple dresses!

Hey - first time here
by kimoko inhello i am megan tis my first time here (hence the title :) ) so i just thought i would introduce myself.. i've never actually never been actually been a jehovahs witness but i first actually got introduced to it in january when i met the amazing kw13 haha :) since then ive looked at books, articles and had a wonderous time on the friday of the 2006 3 day jw convention .
i'm trying to help karl get his mum out of the witnessing, hopefully we can get through its not gonna be easy but we are optimistic.
its been a real difficult time for me trying to understand the witnessing because it went from 16 years of just knowning them as them people who bother you at your door to getting to know alot more and their "morals".

And this surprises us, how?? Any opportunity for the good ole' mothershipness. They remind me of toddlers when they are in that "me,me,me" phase!
It'll all about them! (and the $)
