I live in the mid -west and our winters get alot of snow and freezing temps in the winter . For service I wore a long coat and high boots ,so under neath I sometimes wore pants out in service instead of a dress . How would anyone know ? But a sister complained .... The Brother used the reasoning "what if you go in a householder's house and took off your coat " ( oh I don't know ??? pants would cause them to have a heart attack ? ) Good grief !!!!

What's the most dumbest/petty thing you've heard of someone being "stumbled" over?
by Reality79 in- some loser once took offense that i hugged a sister goodbye at a leaving do and ran back to the elders like a little child telling on me.
i was 15, this sister was in her 40s at the time.. - this elder said someone told him they saw me with a copy of the sun newspaper.
yes, this paper is known for its 'page 3' topless girls but far from pornagraphic and i wasn't even thinking along those lines.. - one brother who had a good job was 'counselled' because he was actually able to buy himself nice things including a new car (shock, horror!!

Finally getting my life in order.
by JonathanH ini've been out for a few years now, officially ousted and shunned for probably a year and a half, maybe even closing in on two years, the exact date eludes me.
and given that i was still married to a witness, and one that i cared deeply about, i wasn't overly concerned with what i wanted, so much as how to make things better for her.
in the intervening time i think i have done that, and quite well.

Jonathan that is awesome ! It is so encouraging to hear of someone that puts the fear behind them and pushes forward with aplan . So very happy for you . My daughter in law just made the leap into college (her life long dream ) and she is loving it ! I am sure you will too .

OOmpa , I use to tell my husband all the time that I thought many of our pioneers were Pioneering as penance to ease guilty consciences . Maybe not for being lesbian ,but other 'sins' especially of the past .

How Courteous A Driver Are You?
by prophecor ini try to quell my emotions when stuck behind slow drivers.
never knowing that they may be elderly or infirmed people.
i also however try to let others in when there's a road crew ahead and everyone has to pull to one side to get by.

How many here have been Df'd for celebrating holidays ?
by troubled mind ini was talking to an old friend last night that told me she was recently df'd for celebrating holidays .
she refused their efforts to meet with them so they just made the decision on their own !
she has been inactive almost a year and has refused to meet or talk at the door with any elder this whole time .

The holiday issue was what they started after me with too. I guess when they have nothing more to hang on you ......
My friend has children and grandchildren that are not Witnesses and she naturally wants to share in their special occasions . How stupid for a religion to say that is wrong ,and an offense so horrible you need to be ostrisized from the rest of your JW family by dfing...... jerks

Nugget .....I am going to make sure Monday his Dr realizes the building my son works in was affected by flood waters last year . I know my son mentioned to him and the ER doctors that several work mates all had similar symptoms as his ,but we had not thought about the flood . I think that is what has been nagging my mind .
I just read some information about diseases caused by flooding . Some of the bacteria and viruses can lay silent for months before making you very ill .

One other thing on my mind is that he has had gastro-type problems for several months now . Our family Doctor just retired (someone I had complete trust in ) The new Dr has not run any tests but has told him he thought he had a hiatal hernia and was giving him Prilosic to see if his symptoms improved . When this episode began the new Dr was on vacation so we were passed on to who ever was on call ....thank goodness the ER drs are vigilant . But still I feel a little lost w/o established history with his new Dr ......what if he is just not good ,I don't want my sons health to suffer because the new guy can't think beyond the box .....if you know what I mean ?
