44What Might've Kept You Still In The Organization?
by minimus insome people left the organization because of the united nations scam, 1975, the "generation" change, child abuse issues, not feeling the "love" of the brotherhood, etc.
in all honesty, is there something----that if it hadn't happened----would have kept you still in?
for example, if the child abuse issues were resolved properly, perhaps, some of those that left because of the mishandling, might still be at the meetings.

Oh the Irony!
by dobby insix months ago i took a new job and have a new co-worker that i work very closely with because our duties overlap.
i have gotten to know her pretty well and although she is a very sweet person, she is extremely religious.
she is a member of a fundamentalist christian religion that has many similarities to the dubs.

Vultures are Circling
by dobby inwell in the last three weeks i have had three run-ins with local jw's.
it is interesting because when i moved to this area 2 and a half years ago i only attended a handful of meetings before becoming inactive and no one has come by to talk to us in at least two years.. the first meeting was a visit by a brother stopping at my front door out in service on a sat.
morning.

Yesterday we bought our Very First Christmas Tree!
by cruzanheart inwell, actually, i did, but with the blessings of the family.
it's fake (too many allergies in the house to risk a real one), pre-lit, and 7 feet tall.
i think it's going to be gorgeous.

by dobby infall has arrived in my corner of the world.
the morning air - crisp, thin, reminding me of palest chardonnay gives way to the smoky, mesquite air of dusk.
the leaves of the trees have begun to turn.
