  elders and alcohol

  by chuckyy in

  when i was an elder most of the rest of the body drank like fish, some would regularly get drunk and it was always ignored.

  then these very same elders would reprove a young lad for excessive drinking!

  was there similar hypocrisy in your cong????.

  i remember very few of the details, of when, where and exactly what took place, however a few years ago i was told the story about three elders that were walking together and the middle.

  elder was struck and killed by lightning.

  the other two elders went to his house to help out his wife and discovered 'apostate' material in their home.

  i am a non jw, who has met a jw and we have been online chatting for last 9 months.

  i have fallen in love with him.

  he has been trying to push me away lately, and finding out one of the reasons is because of the religious background.

  ok, i was reading the "worst bookstudy book" thread, and it got me thinking about the worst book study groups i went to.

  once, my dad was study conductor and the study was held in an elderly sister's home.

  there was antique furniture and doilies on the tables.

  my mom and my sister came to visit....

  by theinfamousone in

  now in case you're wondering why this is such a big deal and why the tears are streaming down my face right now, feel free to look at my story as i like to call it.... http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/7/101870/1758191/post.ashx#1758191.

  so i think it was thursday i decided to make a huge pot of my little sisters favorite soup for her... when i went to drop it off at their house, well, they werent home, so i left it there with a note just saying hi to her and my mom, and that i miss them and love them... which is probably a shot at my dad who, well you know what i think of him.... i was quite perturbed because i did not receive a phone call or anything to acknowledge that they had received it... so i was a little worried that my father had found it and ripped up my note and thown the soup away... i know it sounds stupid, but i made the soup for my sister, and i mean, i guess it was just to show her how much she means to me... i guess i could have bought her some kind of present, but i dunno, making something seemed right at the time..... so anyways, finally today i get home from school and find a note under my door... they had both come to visit and they left me a note... well my mom wrote a quick note saying they had visited and were sorry they missed me and thanks so much for the soup and for bringing it to them and showing that i do miss them.... she wishes she had been able to see me... my sister wrote me a letter, and left it under my door as well... she wrote on the enveloppe she wanted to give it to me, but was sad she couldnt see me... she says shell call.... this wouldnt be such a big deal, but its the first contact ive had with her in three months or so... i mean, ive called and left messages, but i dont know if any of them even get to her... this little girl means the world to me... and i havent been able to see her in months.... it isnt fair.... so here i am sitting by the phone, thinking of calling in sick to work, just so i can speak to her, i dont want to miss her call... .

  i feel so alone right now, and i just dont know.... im pathetic i know, but i miss her so much..... the infamous one
