kiss-assity
That is exactly what the elders are displaying when the CO is in town.
Maybe it was just the various CO's that I saw over the years but how come their wives had very partticular dietry requirements? They all seem to have to have wheat-free shit (at least, some are evn more difficult to please)....

Did you enjoy being a JW?
by JH inevery time i went to a meeting, book study, or whatever, the great majority of people looked as if they were truly happy to be a jw.
their smiles looked genuine.
they seemed to love talking to each other.. i, on the other hand, wasn't really happy to be at the meetings.

No it was hard work. I enjoyed having the friends I had as a witness and thus the association.

Scandal: Local Witness Is Traffic Warden!
by ballistic in.
i can't believe this guy goes round slapping parking tickets on people's cars by day and slapping "you can live forever" leaflets through people's doors at the weekend.. it would be funny if he got mixed up one day and started booking people with messages of a paradise earth.. well, i guess jesus loved tax collectors too.

MY STORY PART TWO
by diamondblue1974 insorry this has taken some time to compile but here it isthe second instalment of my biography.
as with the previous it is difficult with writing it not just because of the content but primarily because its difficult to try and retain the chronology correctly; i believe i have stayed true to how and when things happened but might have a few dates and times mixed up as this hasnt been at the forefront of my mind for some time.
please accept my apologies if these inconsistencies are apparent at any point.. .

finally reading "Crisis of Conscience"
by glenwoodswoman ini never had the desire to read the book in all the years i have been "liberated".
joining this board got me curious about the book and i am finally reading it....and i am blown away by it!.
i left for reasons of my own- the society and i could not agree on who should run my life- them or me-i always felt that this life style works for some people, but not for me.. now that i am reading coc, i see the whole issue in a much bigger light!
