how long until they really start cracking down on me?
any former/current elders especially.
i am currently an elder and basically miss at least one meeting a week and never go out in service on sundays and seldom on saturdays.
You can go another two or three years before something happens. As long as the "Publishers" don't complain you can go on for years. Meet for Sunday service and then leave by yourself, because you are going on a bible study and you are picking up your wife to go with you.
The question is how long do you want to be an "Elder". Just say NO!
i just hung up the phone with my golf buddy.
his last words were "bye-bye".
mine too.

gawd this is so great.. .
as with the scribes and pharisees, there are a number of unwritten rules that witnesses are supposed to follow.
here's a couple : "worldly" kids in society depictions are shown quite often wearing their baseball caps backwards.
jehovah's witness youths would not want to imitate that "look".

But in this run for life, some of us looking forward to a change in this old system and its destruction for many years now, there are some of us who get a little weary. And a little tired. And sometimes we just want to throw our hands up and say 'I just don't know if I can go on any further.'
But, just like a runner when he's running a course, and he gets near to the end, just about the time he thinks he can't go on any further, he realizes 'well there's the goal ahead of [inaudible]' He's come around the last lap, and there it is! Well all of a sudden he just seems to get some reserve power from nowhere, and with a sudden surge of energy, on he goes to break the finish line rope and win the prize.
Well now, as Jehovah's Witnesses, as runners, even though some of us have become a little weary, it almost seems as though Jehovah has provided meat in due season. Because he's held up before all of us, a new goal. A new year. Something to reach out for and it just seems it has given all of us so much more energy and power in this final burst of speed to the finish line. And that's the year 1975.

but the symbols he displayed during his performance and that little gig with the guitar behind the sheet are ok.... ?.
ok, i just had to vent.
i found out somebody in our local minneapolis/saint paul meetup has been harassing one of our meetup attendees.
this person has been getting multiple phone calls from this person even though they've been told in a gentle way "i'm not interested, back off, you're old enough to be my dad.
the question is self explanatory.
