They cancelled at our hall a couple of times for bad weather. They also cancelled one time when we had all shown up but there was no electricity. We had the electricity go out during the meeting a couple of times and the brothers would conduct with flashlights and people would use their cell phone lights to follow along. What a joke!!!

Did your Kingdom hall ever cancel meetings?
by moshe inwe were building a new kh- not quick build- and we had to vacate the old building and the new kh was not finished.
the elders decided to cancel all the meeting with the exception of the tuesday night bookstudy in homes.
we had no other meetings for about 4-5 weeks.

What Is Your Life's Work?
by choosing life inwhat is it that you do in life that makes you feel like you are accomplishing something important?
something that makes sense to you and gives you a sense of personal satisfaction.
for me it has always been my work of helping others as a nurse.

I'm a full-time mom. So I guess my life's work is trying to raise children that will one day become fully functional adults that can contribute something. It's a good thing I left the borg when I did or I never would have accomplished that. When I look at my kids I'm really proud of the job I'm doing. They are caring, intelligent and polite. They really are the minority when it comes to kids nowadays.

Donate for worldwide work- did you ask ?
by sspo in.
it was much easier for me when we used to charge for literature than ask the householder if they wanted to contribute to the worldwide work.i was too embarassed.
that's why i just gave the literature away and not put them on the spot.. the witnesses that did ask the householder to contribute would usually never get a donation.. what was your experience?

I never asked and no one ever offered. Not one donation for the Crotchtower. How appropriate.

Are those claiming to be annointed, nutters?
by KW13 ini remember at an assembly someone saying "oh yeh thats such and such, he's annointed...you can really tell" or something like that.. are those claiming, that they are annointed nutters?
did their alphabet spaghetti spell it out for them?
personally i think they are either very very confused, big headed or nutters

I've often wondered about that myself. The only "annointed " person at our hall was a complete nutbag.

Could you or would you ever....

I would go if someone in the family invited me to a wedding and I think I would also go for a funeral. It would suck and be uncomfortable, but I really want them all to know that I am NOT effected by their choices and policies. I would go and act like I was going to a wedding or funeral in any other church in the world. If anyone tried to witness to me me, I would let them know how much closer to God I feel since I left the organization and I would never want to alienate him again by joining the group that worships the governing body.

If you go...it may give them reason to start bugging you.
Friendlyannoying visits from Smellders may start. I personally wish they would forget I exist. Just a thought! -

The Pope Visits Washington
by Flash inthe pope is visiting washington, d.c., and president bush takes him out for an afternoon on the potomac, sailing on the presidential yacht, the sequoia.
they're admiring the sights when, all of a sudden, the pope's hat (zucchetto) blows off his head and out into the water.
secret service guys start to launch a boat, but president bush waves them off, saying, "wait, wait.

I'm sure Agapa has always been the sort of JW that most JWs look upon as weak and really not one of them.
If that's the case...then I hope agape can learn something here and free him/herself from that aweful org that makes people feel like crap. If he/she is an apologist that I welcome the comments as well as they do help us xjw's see where we came from and is a constant reminder as to why we left. I take issue with remarks that he/she makes on the threads of others needing support.
