Hmmm, good thread! I wonder why my elder at work isn't pioneering instead of working a full time job? His wife works full time too, long hours, and they both rake in good money. They have no children at home to support. So, they really could pioneer, it seems like, or at least one of them could! Practice what you preach!

They Tell The Elders One Thing And The Others Something Else!
by minimus inthe organization is so deceitful that they will tell the watchtower readers that the elders should deal mercifully with wrongdoers but in private letters or correspondence thru the circuit overseers, they will tell the elders not to allow "leaven" within their midst.
they say it's better to disfellowship and see whether someone's truly repentant afterwards rather than taking a chance to contaminate the congregation.......another example of their being two-faced is that they will tell the brotherhood not to buy homes, cars, vacations, etc.
unnecessarily as it could signal materialism, yet the watchtower society spends more money on real estate than we could ever possibly imagine but it's ok for them..........can you think of other things that show that the organization is hypocritical??

You are right about squirrels, Lady Lee! They're so cute to watch and become almost tame. Well, I thought they were so cute till my husband came in from the shed Sunday and told me they had got in and tore the stuffing out of my patio chair cushions to line their nests, lol!

Both Bluejays and squirrels love peanuts, if you can nail a squirrel feeder onto a tree trunk, they are so entertaining to watch! They squabble over the nuts but will expect them every day!

I used to fake illness alot on Saturdays, and near the end of the month my parents would panic to get something on my report slip. They'd say, "Surely you must have witnessed to some kids at school, RIGHT?" If I muttered no, I hadn't, they'd quick whip the car into a laundromat parking lot and push me out to drop a stack o' magazine doo-doo on the folding counters so I could count an hour! We couldn't have an elder's child (swooning in shock) IRREGULAR!

Slippers / shoes at book studies
by billyboy in.
hi everyone!
was there ever an issue as to whether you were / weren't allowed to wear shoes at a group book study in someones house , so everyone had to dump their shoes at the door?.

Some of the bookstudy groups expected us to wear slippers or at least remove our shoes. Supposedly, it was also to foster the atmosphere of a "family" gathered in the living room, so people would feel relaxed and comment more.

She has missed something big....right under her nose! She has failed to see that she's still treating you like a child, and you've become a man! Of course tou're pissed! Hope it won't be much longer till she's forced to recognize you as an independent adult and treat you with respect.

Yes, chemical sensitivities, or low blood sugar, allergies to mold, dust, carpet chemicals (soil/stain treatments) anxiety orclaustrphobia in crowds, but having your meds adjusted, seasonal affective disorder (SAD) causes depression in areas that don't get much sunshine and have long periods of gray, gloomy weather. Anemia, for which you must rest and sleep a lot until you build up strength.
