Three years ago in January, I had to put one of my dogs to sleep. There has not been a day since that I have not thought about and grieved for her. Her brother will be 16 years old in 2007, and he is getting very "close" also. I love them sooo much...

I put my dear old dog to sleep
by Jez inafter 2 months of old age and illness, 2 cancelled vet appts, hoping he would get better, tears, frustration, watching him not eat, throwing up, becoming skin and bones, justifying keeping him, i stuck to this morning's appointment.. he was with me for the last 12 years of my life and his life has been entwined in so many of the memories i have.. to tell you about him, would be an essay.
i just want everyone to know that he was so close to me.
in the end, i kissed him on his head, said, "good boy, you're a good boy" and he laid his head on my hands and went to sleep.. i love you and will miss your crazy dog ways.

As a DUB, what did you do and hid so as not to stumble anyone?
by megsmomma ini was thinking of all the "concious matters" that you could do if you wanted, but would not tell anyone so you wouldn't get in "trouble".
one thing that came to my mind is when after having my baby, i wanted to join weight watchers...there were two meeting places to choose from...one close to me and in a church....and one quite far not in a church.
well, i went to the one in the church, always worried someone would see me(but i didn't really think it was a big deal) so, what did you all hide?

...still hiding the fact that I do not believe in 1914, that the FDS has been appointed, women can't lead in worship, education is bad...sigh...oh, let's not forget one of the main points in next weeks Watchtower study article...MEN are supposed to plan wedding receptions as part of the headship arrangement.

The brothers and sisters are quickly tiring of the endless rules. In fact, it has been YEARS since our KH has had a wedding. And it is not just R&F saying forget it. Even our school overseer and his wife didn't get married in the KH!!!! That was about three years ago.

New World or New System of Things
by *jeremiah* inhi everyone, i'm seeking clarification again.
when i was in the borg, the phrase the wt used to call paradise was "the new system of things".
i've read a lot of posts on here and i've seen a lot of "new world" and i never see "the new system of things" phrase.

One visiting Bethel speaker said they want to emphasize that this is a whole new world, not just a new way, or system, or doing things.

I received an e-mail from a sister in my congregation. She had hosted the speaker, who steps in as a CO 2-3 times a year. The good part is that they (2 pioneers, 1 elder, 1 elder/CO) were discussing how the Society must have this "we are the only to survive" doctrine wrong. No the bad part. Then the elder/CO said, "Hey, have you heard about the new book Brooklyn has stock piled to release after Armagedon?" Of course everyone says "No" and eagerly awaits more information.
He said, "It's called: When someone you hate survives!" Her e-mail said that everyone laughed, including her. The she asked, "WHY did we laugh?"

It's a scholarly essay, so you must purchase it. Or, it is probably available from the library. This website shows how you may obtain a copy.

If you have an elder with observable wavering, he may just be tired. I doubt it was caused by doubt in the doctrine
I didn't say it was observable; I said I was observing him. Others did not notice, which is why the congregation let out an audible communal gasp when it was announced. Perhaps I should rephrase my comment to say that often times individual members of the congregation "sense" what is going on, regardless of how well the elder may feel he is accomplishing his goal of "going through the motions."
I do know that he purchased the transcript of the Tort of Misrepresentation when it came out, because someone told him this I purchased a copy of the journal in which it appeared. I also know that he visited AJWRB website. Shortly after the "Tort" was released, our CO visited, and announced from that platform, for all of us to hear, that the "Tort" was full of lies. This guy, our PO, went up to him after his talk and asked him just which part was a lie. The CO denied ever saying this. Our PO just smiled, said OK, and walked away.

I think often times publishers are more aware of what is going on in the congregations than the elders-body. Two Sundays ago, I told my husband that I thought a certain brother in our congreation would choose not to be an elder soon. I have been "observing" him for several months now. Last night, he stepped down.
