  What Was The Silliest "Offense" That You Were Counseled For?

  by minimus in

  when i was a teenager, i was told by an elder that because i smiled a lot and was known for my good sense of humor, that i should come across as "more serious".

  so before i was appointed a ms, while in my late teens, i transformed myself into a much more "serious" brother.. were you ever told that you needed to work on something that you knew was stoopid?.

  Greetings, brandnew:

  Good for you, helping your dad.

  I can see any adult child driving Mom and Dad wherever they need to go, even church. The loving child doesn't have to attend or believe. Ray Franz, in IN SEARCH OF CHRISTIAN FREEDOM, praised a disfellowshipped woman for regularly driving an elderly relative (aunt, I believe) to meetings.

  BTW, while still attending the KH, I regularly answered, encouraged by one elder in particular. This, despite hair down my back and a beard. Guess there's more to all this outward appearance thing than meets the eye. Baptized 50 years . . .

  Best regards to you and your family.

  I've been depressed lately.

  my husband and i went to visit his family for the holidays.

  not everyone showed for the visit ,the weather was lousy, and it just generally sucked.

  now we're back to the same old routine with work and life and we're both depressed and alone.

  Thank you for explaining, BYCNL.

  It takes a long time to let go, and things rarely turn out as we would hope. My entire family followed me in almost 50 years ago. Some, like me, have left, but others remain in. I feel responsibility for my influence. Of course, making a so-called dedication to God is a serious thing, and I've learned (finally) when to keep quiet.

  Give yourselves time. Change is difficult. StoneWall's excellent suggestions have already been implemented by many of us. We really are getting on with our lives and are happier than ever.

  Blessings and Peace.

  I'm sorry, BYCNL, for your feelings of depression. It's worse this time of year, too, as you noted. Your husband's family are or aren't JWs? I wasn't sure because you visited them for the "Holidays."

  Staying around here on the forum should help cheer you up -- you'll be getting some more responses soon, I'm sure.

  Back in a bit.

  Love,

  When some of us played the piano at the KH and used the pink song book, we really rocked. For the most part, those songs were melodic and inspiring.

  Then came the records . . .

  You're welcome, NVR2L8, and, also, thanks to you and never a jw for commenting.

  This link was sent to me by an ex-JW family member who suffered horribly from parental corporal punishment. The police and CPS finally got involved.

  And, to think, for years we misinformed family members were told the child was rebellious and wanted no part of the Truth.
