  i was talking to a longtime faithful japanese jw who said that recently there are many young witnesses going to university.

  " what about the recent dc and circuit assembly talks as well as the watchtowers, very firmly discouraging college.

  the reply was " yes they are hearing but not doing "

  part of necessary convention business is handling large sums of money.. page 4-1 district convention operations wtb&t$ 1997. .

  counting money.

  the accounts overseer is personally to prenumber in ink all the receipt forms (co-40) in duplicate (an original and a carbon copy bearing the same number).

  It has been years since I haven't donated any money on the conventions. I remember very clearly many years ago when they said that if this was Jehova's organization it will survive even if we were not going to charge for the literature etc, etc, etc, so I figured, they don't need my money, Jehova doesn't need my money so I just stop doing it altogether.

  When I made the decision of not attending meetings any more I did not feel guilty. Actually I was feeling worst by going to the meeting just to warmth the seat and not believing much of what they said. Also I felt like such a hypocrite going to the field service and not believing what I was preaching. I used to avoid the profecies issues.

  I was the only one attending from my home. My husband hasn't been to the meetings for about 7 years (only occacional) and the reason he gave many years ago was that he did not want the kids to suffer the pain to be different and he want them to feel that they had other choice. At that time at did not quite understand his point of view but I respected it and I think deep inside of me I wanted the same thing for them because I never opposed to that and always thought that if the elders came to me and questioned me about them been in sports I would say that I was just following the "head of the house decision" . But they never approached me on the subject. I think because I had always been a straight forward person and had drawn my line on the sand and they don't know what to think of me.

  Thank you all for your warm welcome. I'm sorry, when I made the comment that it was a sin to be in an organized sport the comment was supposed to be in a sarcastic mode. I know is not a sin and had never felt guilty about supporting my kids.

  I rest more and pay more attention to my kids school atletic's activities. (like wrestling).

  I know is a sin to be on organized sports but I never wanted my kids to live a double life so I always gave them the freedom to choose as long as they don't lie to me.

  I have been a witness for 25 years but I had always had little things here and there that did not like.

  Like the king of the north and south from Daniel's book, the 1914 generation and some others.
