It is good to see the "informal witness" work against the Borg .
Its funny how the society taught us so well over the years that we can now turn those skills against them

someone will be very disappointed tomorrow morning!
i am home on maternity leave right now, and this has given me the opportunity to meet people in our neighborhood that i might never have come in contact with otherwise.
a few weeks ago, i started chatting with a mother who was out for a walk with her toddler.

what was the weirdest meeting hours you've ever seen or had?
sundays, we had 4 congregations for one kh.
one meeting on sunday was from 4pm to 6pm.
Sunday meetings times were so important for me, we used to go on a rotation each year.
1st year 10 am meeting, field service 12.30pm till say 2pm the rest of the day off..
2nd year 10 am field service 1.30pm meeting home at say 4pm the rest of the day off :)
3rd year 10 am field service, twiddle thumbs till 4.30 pm meeting home by say 7pm rest of the day off.
I just found that I wrote Sundays off, what a waste of my life.........Jeez

the next day was going to be tough.
i had to do kind of a portfolio check session with the illustrators and work on some photo retouching for an up coming italian awake magazine and work with someone from the graphics department on the miniaturization issue.
as i walked around a little bit i noticed a large hell scanner sitting in a room with a plastic tarp over it.

i cannot go into great detail just yet, because a lot of what i have going with my family hinges on what will happen on the weekend of october 10th.
a short background of this topic before the question: at a very young age.
very young i was sexually abused, by more than one member of our congregation.
Good point Jim.
Nice to hear from you again.
Hope you are well

Welcome from a fellow brit.

Me too, Piph! i feel cheated!! i opened this thread and in my head i heard johnny mathis singing "It's the most wondeful tiiiiiiiiime of the year".....and then i started reading...wait, elder stuff?!?! blech!!! ;)
Oh no I have upset Tink, I will try to think up a nice fluffy thread for you. BTW last time I heard Johnny Mathis in my head, they locked me for 6 months Actuallty this elder stuff makes most of us belch, I just thought I would warn anyone who wasn't aware that visits are the way. Love Cas........

A good tip to stop the elders spotting you.
If you put on a Yorkshire flat cap and say expressions like EEE BY GUM!!!!!!! and TURNED OWT NICE AGAIN...
They may not recognize you and leave you alone.
Mind you will have all the pretty girls chasing you.
