  Anger!!!!

  by FlyingHighNow in

  2. experiences

  yesterday, when i was driving through holland, michigan, i was a little lost looking for the human resources office.

  i was heading down a busy divided four lane street unfamiliar, when i looked up and there it was, a kingdom hall in all it's radiant three day quick-build glory.

  and for the first time, rather than just the usual cringe, i felt angry!.

  "kiki" had been stabbed by her mother betty whitten.

  Best, worst and weirdest assembly halls...

  by Jamelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a recent thread about the experience of attending the 1969 convention as a young child really started me thinking.

  i have several fuzzy memories of assemblies i attended as very young child.

  this got me onto the track of the rather odd, uncomfortable or even really cool buildings i have visited over the years as a result of those conventions.. so my questions to everyone are:.

  Getting Busted w/ Love Letters

  by OpenFireGlass in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  love letters were the demise for many of the kids in congregations that i attended growing up..... i know i ended up in the library/back room several times for this (hopless romantic/ sagitarius) even put on public reproof for it.

  (though i believe it was my dad's idea to have the elders put me on public reproof so that he could have more control over me).

  for the DF'd: did you confess or were you ratted out?

  by kid-A in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  looking back at the 10 or so cases of disfellowshipping i recall, i think only 1 was due to the orwellian borg spy system.

  he was ratted out.. all the other cases were actually "confessions" by people that otherwise would have gotten away with it.

  i am wondering is these percentages.
