  of that warm and fuzzy feeling after a long day of field service

  by inkling in

  (this story fits a late 90's me) --- it's a dreary grey afternoon and the last desperate drops of rainare splattering themselves against the window of the small town cafe.

  i stare into the bottom of my coffee and swirl the speckleddark grounds into a tiny hurricane in a pale chipped cup and smile.

  the sisters across from me are laughing.

  Inkling-that was very well written. You should be a journalist.

  Yes, I totally relate to that feeling of wasting a whole miserable day, yet somehow feeling that I had Jehovah's approval. It's all part of the cultish brainwashing, really. They always hammered into our heads "Spend every spare minute in service; Do more; Quit your job and pioneer." Actually, it wasn't Jehovah's approval that we sought-it was that of the elders and the GB. So, even when I would spend countless and exhausting hours in service and feel a slight hint of a sense of pride, there was always that nagging feeling that it was NEVER ENOUGH. Oh, god, I hated "field service" with a passion! That is one thing I'll never miss.

  Yes, it is really that good. At least the production in Las Vegas was.

  Wha happened? - I'm sorry the Wynn pooped on your favorite hotel. But really, it's well worth treading through the terd to see the show. (By the way, I liked the Wynn a lot. Very, very nice. I don't think it's a terd.)

  Did anyone notice the oddity of dedpoet's comment made on Oct. 12th on the thread about "Who is paired up on this board"? I thought it was very odd, and I almost called him on it.

  Fullofdoubtnow/Dedpoet

  Sort of.

  We knew each other as jws, and stayed in touch when
  I left in 1999. We finally got together, in 2005, and
  Linda moved in to live with me at the beginning of 2006,
  by which time we'd known each other almost 15 years.

  We'd always been close friends, and we got closer when
  Linda came to my flat a lot when she was exiting the
  watchtower in the summer of 2005 to research the org
  and eventually post on here, as she didn't have a pc of
  her own at the time.

  "Sort of." Now that's a statement of undying love regarding he and his wife who was supposedly at death's door. No mention that they were married either. Weird, weird, weird...

  I attended a medical conference this weekend at the Wynn Hotel in Vegas. On Saturday night, we saw Monty Python's "Spamalot" in the live theater.

  I cannot tell you how hilarious that show was! I laughed literally non-stop for the entire 90 minute show. I had tears rolling down my face I laughed so hard! I wish I could see it again.

  So, if you're ever in Vegas, GO SEE SPAMALOT!! You won't regret it.

  Our Friend Linda

  julie and i have both known linda for over 25 years, from when she first became a jw, so we decided to write this tribute to her.. we first met linda in january 1981, when she attended her first ever meeting at our kingdom hall.

  she had been taking the magazines for a few months, since just after she finished university, and had started studying a few weeks before, but this was the first time she had plucked up the courage to attend a meeting.

  julie was having many doubts herself by then, and once again linda was supportive, as was trev.
