I really regret ever going to the elders and letting them disfellowship me. And then I regret ever trying to get reinstated and writing those stupid apology letters to the Judicial Commitee and meeting with them and allowing me to treat them like I did. I know my Ma regrets ever having my brother go to the elders when he was 13 for smoking a few cigs....they were just awful to them. I regret telling on my friends for smoking when I was in high school. I regret ever going into the back room period. I also regret not having spent more holidays with my family and never going to church with my Grandpa before he died.

I loved "as true christians, we wouldn't want to........" and you could just never get enough of the "keep on the watch" talks and conventions, and comments.

Was it frowned on to plan vacation during the Circuit Overseers visit?

by truthseeker in

i have noticed in my hall, and others, that to plan a vacation or to be away during any of the upcoming co's visits was frowned upon.

it was said you weren't being responsible and were disregarding the counsel to make that a week of "special activity.".

sometimes, it is not know when a co will next visit.

Is it frowned upon to know the CO is coming and disregard it to stay home and watch Will and Grace reruns??? Is it frowned upon to dread CO visits?

so, i went to my friendly neighborhood tattoo parlor today, and recieved my second and third (or 19th and 20th - depending on how you look at it) tattoo.

the chest is an extremely sensitive area, and so i was very aware that i was alive for the majority of the time.. oh, birds are often seen as a symbol of freedom, happiness, and arriving safely.

bones show regret, loss.. .

They look great Richie. Hope you are finding peace nowadays..........

when i got off for lunch today i decided to go to the walmart deli and get something to eat.

it is a huge store, groceries, a bakery, mc donalds, a bank , eye center, beauty shop, a great deli, and a huge garden center.

i had taken back a 80 gig hard drive dvd recorder ( i couldn't figure out how to hook up <smile> and had received 238.00. i picked up a couple of things in the store then went to the deli.

I have to agree with the majority here, I think it is luck. I think its a bit offensive as well for Annie to think she has so special and saintly that Jehovah would listen to her stupid purse prayer and not those of people sick and dying, tortured, hungry, scared etc. Why is she better then them, becuase she puts in her 2.5 in sevice a week??? I don't think thats how Jehovah operates, sorry dear.....
