tijkmo, if you were in Greenock why didn't you use that deco-esque 1930s-style outdoor pool at Gourock for baptisms? Admittedly, baptisms during the school holidays might have been a problem (divebombing onto the believers etc.)...or maybe it was the fear of erect nipples in that freezing water!

Me too. I remember being 'praised' by some of the sisters because I'd 'modestly' (puke) worn a t-shirt over my swimming cossie. Don't know what difference it would have made if I hadn't worn the t-shirt - I was only 14...I think some of the other (gorgeous) sisters got a few raised eyebrows for wearing flattering and stylish swimwear sans t-shirt...i got dunked at a circuit assembly.

...the Crazy Frog, eh? THAT's what an apostate looks like (according to JWs), and 10 x as irritating!

That's what I meant... it was directed at you Kwin, not Katie! I thought you had actually taken Katie's post seriously, hence the request for an ironic reading...apologies!

Has anyone requested their Publisher Records or any other 'records'?
by tabbycat in...and if so, what happened?
i am now living quite far away from my old hall, and no-on here knows i used to be a jw.
i don't know who the secretary would be in my old hall, as it's been a long time.

Oh yeah. I forgot I could lie now! Sometimes the obvious solutions totally elude me. It that habit of trying to 'preach' convoluted (read: nonsensical) biblical theories...what a tangled web we weave!

That's a great idea. However, I strongly suspect the gossip machine would go into overdrive if I requested anything (esp. under the guise of 'reactivating'). Someone 'sympathetic' soul would undoubtedly phone my mum to let her know how great it was that I was 'coming back'. Grrrr! Confidentiality is another complete JW myth. I knew a real coven of elder's wives that knew everyone's business, and saw fit to interfere at every opportunity...(BLOOD PRESSURE RISING)

Seeker4's 500th Post - My letter to the Elders (2nd Posting)
by Seeker4 inhere's the letter i wrote to the body of elders i served with for decades, when they invited me to a judicial committee meeting two months ago.
i have not heard a word from them since i wrote this.
i posted this monday night (may 30, 2005) to celebrate my 500th post, but it ended up in the "heated debates" section, when i intended it to go in this area.

Seeker, thanks for your letter. It's easy to feel absolutely powerless in the face of such a ridiculously flawed bureaucracy. My guess would be that they would be very reticent indeed about any possibility of a public shaming! Ironically, one of the many reasons I left was because of the very issues I now find myself faced with - i.e. the conundrum of D/A'ing.

remember those stories about demonic possession?
by LuckyNun inand how people would swear that things moved by themselves and hovered around?
well, i wish my stuff was possessed so it would move itself to my new apartment for me.
it's 116 degrees here.

KatieK, your partner sounds LOVELY! The film filtering is such a little thing, but it is so considerate. Despite the Blair Witch film incident, I still a complete pussy (cat) about 'scary films'. I have to be feeling that it will be cathartic to watch the film (and I'm rarely feeling that brave). I'm actually quite ashamed that these irrational fears are still quite strong at times, and come back now and then with a vengence. What a horrible way to scare kids into 'behaving'...I remember my mum and I 'purging' particular items in the house and having real a phobia about demons - urgh. My dad (who was a rabid atheist) thought we were complete mentalists. I suppose he was right...
