  Ahh....the Kingdom Hall

  i have a relative by marriage, who is gay.

  she has been shunned since she was 19 when she "came-out" to the family just a few weeks before she and an older married sister in the hall ran off together.

  this pretty 19 year old had been babysitting for a married sister since she was in jr. high school.

  Calls coming in from JW friends about the letter. It's not going over very well from what I hear. Awww.

  My response, "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain."

  Smart business decision, which is what they are...a business.

  Make no mistake, no matter what they tell the adherents why they do things, all decisions are made to insure the existence of the corporation.

  I do hope they plan on housing some of the older folks. I know that was an idea put forth years ago by one of the money guys.

  No. And I could learn to speak publicly by being involved with school clubs/activities, joining girl scouts for canvassing.

  Nope. Nothing. Nada.

  I would ask your neighbors what service they use and if they are happy.

  I am not happy with Uverse. The wifi is abyssmal, worse than the previous DSL. But I think it is their equipment, not the concept per se, which doesn't matter because in the end my service is THE WORST!!! Reading up on boards sometimes the wiring doens't deliver the speed it should, and then I've read their switching or equipment was not working properly. I'm getting out of it.

  So find out if people are using it in your area and it they are receiving the speed/product they are paying for.

  Minimus: My mom is very ill and the congregation has been very good to her. I think she may be in a hospital soon or elsewhere. I think I will be seeing some elders who might try to love bomb me.

  If I knew the person calling I would act happy and very surprised they were calling. Thank them for doing so and start asking about them, their family etc. In my case it has thrown them off course, then "Oh dear, I really have to go. It's been great catching up with you. Take care, say "hi" to the Suzie and kids."

  If they sneak in a request to visit, I just say "now isn't a good time. I'll let you know."

  Best thoughts to you and your mom.
