That's simple..now. My sweet wife, my amazing kids and the fact that I never have to study a Watchwanker again.
Oh ya, and my motorcycles.

Looking to hear your Service horror stories.
by Stealth453 inmine.... i was about 10 years old, working with one of the pioneers in our hall, and we came across a gentleman that screamed obcenities at us and threatened to kill us unless we left his porch.
i wet my pants.
the pioneer i was with told me that i was a 'weak little witness that brought shame to jehovah for wetting my pants,' and that my punishment would be finishing out the morning's service with wet, piss stained pants.. it was february in toronto.

Please explain how disfellowshipping is a loving gesture
by McKafka99 incan someone please outline the rationale and scriptures used to support the idea that disfellowshipping is a loving gesture?
i am trying to understand how this behavior is justified, when in my mind in seems a simple matter; one only needs ask oneself, 'if jesus (or jehovah) were standing next to you, would jesus (or jehovah), support any shunning-type actions?
' i find it very difficult that the answer would ever be 'yes'.

With all due respect Blondie, the WTS has no timetable. Its the same hash every meal.
However, I do agree that some people need to reconcile their destiny in their own way. Personally, I'm glad they just leave me alone now.

Notes from today's talk at the KH
by bythesea ini made one of my rare appearances to the sunday meeting today...and really picked a doozy for a talk to have to sit through!
misery loves company, its said, so i'm sharing the latest on "serving with jehovah's unified organization" (please bear with me..... the speaker(who was actually quite entertaining with his illustrations and props!
) opened up with a definition of belonging to an organization: it was, he said "complete conformity by a person to the standards and requirements of an organization"....then he used the example of how any org will kick out a member who chooses not to follow the standards and requirements of the organization...but in fact, in j's org they kick themselves out!

And I promise I will never share another Sunday talk with you again unless I hear it from the platform that Armeggedon is the following week!
Even that would be too soon. hehe

Damned computer...
Try again...They sat in front of my brother's house for a week until he called the police and told them that 2 strange men were watching his two young sons come and go.
They haven't been back since...

Who cares really. I got my A tag back in the late 80's, when it was really something. Once I stopped giving any importance to their stupidity in "shunning" me, they pretty much left me alone.
I think that the answer to that forthcoming article should be...Who Gives a Ratts Bullet Sack.
