as you all may know, the elders around america have had (or will have) their annual meetings.
you know, the ones where they are trained and brought up to date about the whole scheme of things.. anyway, an elder who i happen to be close to was telling me yesterday that some troubling/disturbing things has been going down in congregations worldwide.
he also mentioned that it will be mentioned in watchtowers and km's in the next few months.. anyone know what he may be talking about?
OMG Nate, I'm rolling on the floor with that last one!
I just came on the board to get a little relief after a 3 1/2 hour telephone call from my mother! She mentioned disturbing things happening and advised I needed to keep up with the latest Watchtower's and is sending them to me. Talk about timing....her call and this thread!
i haven't seen him around lately... i hope he hasn't left us for good... maybe he's just waiting till he gets all the answers to the questions we've asked him and he's gonna return with the biggest, longest post we've ever read?
defd we miss you!!!.

HappyDad you hit the nail on the head.
Maybe his employer found out he was "stealing" time and frequenting an "apostate internet site" and took away his PC?
As far as the hopes of a huge post, answering all the questions def'd has been asked.....don't hold your breath. We've got as much chance of receiving answers to the ???? we've asked def'd as we had of Armageddon comeing in 1975!

is it just me or does anybody else hate fireworks?
right now in uk, it's getting close to nov 5, 'bonfire night', a celebration of guy fawks attempt to blow up parliament.
question... why do some idiots let fireworks off for one week prior and a full week after nov 5?
I've got an idiot neighbor that starts his independence day celebaration the last day of June and goes at it every night until the 7th or 8th of July! I don't even want to tell you what New Years is like. Try dealing with a 115 lb. Rottweiller cowering in bed next to you and two 5 lb. chihahaus' hiding under your pillows! I'd like to stick a 1/4 stick up his you know what and light it.

I'm going to get my first next August (2006) prior to my 55th Birthday! It's one of the things on my "Mid-Life Crisis" list. Men get sports cars and younger women. I'm getting a tattoo and a motorcycle!
Have Fun!

FreedomFrog, just a word of warning.....they're addictive!
My daughter had her first (a duck with attitude) on her shoulder at 14 (yes I signed for it) her second (a chubby demon with horns, tail and halo) at the bottom of her back at 15 and the last several months ago at 17 1/2 is a specially designed tribal band with hearts interweaved and her late grandfather's initials (RJM) in english script around the top of her left arm. She's now deciding what and where the next one will be.
She has her bellybutton, left eyebrow and labrea pierced and this week her hair is Blackcherry!

i am in personal communication with a female poster here at jwd, we had a discussion the other day about a member here that had contacted her and told her that he was a female, but then later said in a post that he was indeed a male.
Oldflame, would you like some cheese with you whine? I for one find you language objectionable and would advise you that your use of profanity negates any good you were trying to do. You are way to defensive and resort to profanity and whining. If it is such a great concern you and the person you are trying to protect should immediately advise Simon...with copies of the PM's, transcripts of conversations and name or names of the participants. Understand there are a number of us on JWD that have been victims of abuse...every type you could possibly think of. So to cop the attitude you have when inquiries are being made as to your accusations/insinuations without providing further proof is boorish.
If you don't care if you are blocked from this site....then the above referred to accusations/insinuations must not be valid or you'd be more concerned about staying on here and protecting us poor, dumb women who according to you don't know how to protect ourselves.

OldFlame, did you make the comment about Mr. Bush under the appropriate subject....like Members Only Political???? or Adult and Heated?
Perhaps, after learning of this she is a he or is he a she??? you should have contacted Simon and adivsed him without taking it upon yourself to warn everyone.....Simon or one of his assistants would have checked it out and probably blocked this person.
And last......please don't accuse us of being uncaring JW's most of us are not JW's and even when we were we cared about others.
it's true!
as many of you know, i was divorced in may of this past year, but forced by financial circumstances to continue sharing the marital home with my ex-husband.
that situation alone is very stressful, but add to it my surgery/treatment for breast cancer and the fact that our house is still not on the market for sale (due to repairs that must be completed, but which i am unable to do and ex- doesn't care to do/take care of) was making me feeling like i was living in a holding tank instead of a home.
Cheering for you Brenda. You sound like you're feeling a lot better and these good events have to add to a quicker recovery.
Lonely sheep where in NJ do you live.....I was born and raised in southern Ocean County
my mom came home with some wonderful experiences from the annual meeting at bethel, related by bethelites in her hall.
unfortunately she couldn't remember any of them... any details on this???.

Yeh Crazyblondeb life was like that for us too in the car on the way home from the meetings and even worse after assemblies/conventions. I got to the point where I actually wrote out one point...otherwise our JW mother would have our non-JW father "discipline" us when we got home! I truly cannot remember one meeting/assembly/convention this did not happen after, can I ever remember coming home from the KH happy. Kinda makes you wonder doesn't it.
