Umm for me I would never go back...but since my sister is still in I don't know what I would do I couldn't go to the hall...If God forbid something should happen to her. Maybe my family would make a comprimise with her husband/in-laws about having a wake or gathering at the funeral home...but, it's to sad to think about. But then again I often wonder if she would attend any of her DF'ed family members?

Body observed: "We can buy machines to do our printing for us, but machines cannot preach the good news."

UUM...If God could make rocks talk I think he could make the machines spread "the good news'"

I've been invited to the convention

by 2112 in

ok, i've been out for 15 yrs.

my wife is still in and very zelous.

she is really begging me to go with her this sunday.

I understand that you want to make your wife happy. But, IMHO going will make her think that you wanna comeback trust me!!! Sometimes I think sticking to your 'guns' is the best thing to do!! I am glad that my husband didn't budge when I wanted him to come to just my thursday night talk to 'support' me or hear my talk that I had worked so hard on preparing!!!

Insurance news letter from January 2004 re:hiring JW's

by schne_belly in

i hope this is ok to post this news article.

its an insurance/news letter that i purchased online.

i am thinking of distributing to local hospital human resource departments to inform them of their need to ask questions when hiring people with religious views that may affect their work.

Considering it did happen in the cong that we used to attend.....I think you should distribute it out to the clinic/hospital!!
