he says he isnt coming to preach
He claims he's not preaching, he wants to come visit you out of the blue ... and you're DF? Sorry, but that sounds quite fishy to me.
so what to do?????.
he was a family friend for years.....i saw him in the supermarket a few months back and he stopped and chatted to me for a while.....he rang me today to see if he can call in the morning for a cuppa......he says he isnt coming to preach...... he is one of those likeable people..........but has had a heart attack shortly after i saw him in the supermarket......he says he is okay now.. so i cant really see the point...........he is older; in his 70's.......and i think whatever we talk about i dont want to be responsible for putting his health at risk by opposing his beliefs.. am i missing an opportunity or should i leave well alone?.

after you quit, do any of you still have problems with excessive gesturing (the ministry school type).
when i was a kid, getting a "w" made me feel like a failure.
i was always getting a "w" for gesturing, so since i wanted to be "perfect", i decided to incorporate gestures into my everyday speaking.
I was working on gestures for my final talk in the Theocraptic Misery School. Got a stupid "W" since the dumb elder couldn't see me gesturing with my left hand. He pulled rank on me when I disagreed with his decision. After that incident, I vowed never to give another talk in life!
I wouldn't say I've got a problem with excessive gesturing in everyday life ... maybe mannerisms (according to JW standards). But who cares! They're MY mannerisms and I'll continue to use them.
hey all, i have to give a #4 talk on tuesday.
topic:.
"why true christians do not accept blood transfusions".
I'm very curious to know how this talk went down ... any available details?
a brother from my old hall was giving the talk so my brother (who lives with me and has no idea how i feel) signed us up for hospitality.
i decided i should at least make an appearance to stave off the storm a little.
man, i can barely stand being there.

surely these two events/situations/happenings mean little, nothing even, to those in the real world.. but since we're witnesses( some participatory) to them, they've affected us.. alot "went down" in a relatively short period of time.. do you feel the effects have been mostly positive, an opportunity to grow perhaps?.
or do you feel adversely affected?.
what about any lasting effects( positive or negative) you think they may have on the way ex-jws interact as a community?.
This is better than most soaps I've watched.
I agree with you wholeheartedly Wednesday!

well yesterday i went to his website,,and posted something for his guestbook.
just wondering if he would update me.
Isn't it possible that Trevor can log-in to his website from anywhere on the internet?
How does Trevor's virtual presence on his website prove that he is at home?
That's the same thing I was thinking! He could log from practically anywhere with internet access.
the city of philadelphia has decided to punish the boy scouts of america because it will not allow homosexuals to serve as scout leaders.
city officials said they will charge the cradle of liberty scouts council $200,000 a year to use the city-owned headquarters.
the council was paying $1 per year (since 1928).
Frequent Fader Miles- Homosexuality and Pedophilia are two separate things! I'm a heterosexual woman; just because I find men attractive doesn't mean I'd ever feel attraction for a child!
They certainly are separate things. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that a homosexual man would be a pedophile as well, but there's just a chance it could happen. You never know what ideas would pop into the human mind if the circumstances permit.

OK, so now if he is monitoring this site he knows that you are "Diane"
Oooops! I guess "Diane" will be disfellowhsipped now .... oh dear!
anyone know if this has been mentioned in the congregations ?.
maybe it is so we can donate money for the literature that we download ?
