Serenity, Akron would've been closer for me, but my husband had the van torn apart replacing parts on the underside that weekend. Yesterday afternoon after running around all day, he was checking under the hood and found two more problems that he couldn't get fixed on time for today's apotafest. I would love to meet you too! You're the same distance from as you are from Akron, taking a different route.

WT: "A sport is objectionable if too many people like it"
by cedars inif i may, i would like to offer another glimpse into the strange minds of the writers of the more recent watchtower study editions, this time on the topic of sport.. no doubt like many of you, i enjoy playing sport because (apart from anything else) regular exercise stops me from becoming fat and unhealthy.
during my time as an active witness, i often had the opportunity to play sports with other brothers, although i became increasingly frustrated that this was not (in my case) organised on a more regular basis by those in my congregation; rather, games of my particular sport were organised less and less frequently until they became virtually non-existant.. things have improved considerably since i became inactive and was improperly shunned by those 'brothers' i used to play sport with, because i have begun playing my particular sport with so-called "worldly" people in my local community.
apart from allowing me to get back into some semblance of shape (thereby keeping mrs cedars happy) i am also able to keep in touch with my neighbours and be more sociable with those who live near me.

School for Congregation Elders
by C.O.B.E.Beef ini attended the school late last year, and it was an emotional and mental rollercoaster for me.
i was already divided in my heart to say the least.
one of the instructors stayed in my home for the week, and my family genuinely enjoyed his company.

Somebody said, "No one comes to the Father except through me." Um, who was that? I can't seem to recall his name. Let me think for a minute...Oh, I know, it was JESUS! Too bad the Watchtower Society seems to have forgotten that...or covered up that little tidbit.

Did you go to the apostafest in Akron, OH? I changed my mind about going to that one, because we were going to the one at TotallyADD's and Reopened Mind's place in NW PA today. But I didn't get to go there either due to unexpected problems with my van.
Agonus, please check your pms.

Calling all "Mentally Diseased" Apostates!!
by serenitynow! inlol!.
next sunday is the wt discussion of the infamous july 15th study article "will you heed jehovah's clear warnings?".
i am pretty curious to see how the congregation comments on the material.

I think it's a great idea, but I get physically ill just reading the articles. I would probably commence to projectile vomiting if ever I darkened the doorstep of a kh. You ought to get in touch with Graham Huff on Facebook. He loves this kind of stuff. If you're not already friends with him, I'll recommend you to him.

by Anony Mous inhi, long time no see.

I am so sorry to hear this. And I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but don't believe anything she says, especially about not getting into a custody fight. She and her family set you up. They encouraged you to quit, so she could take off with the baby. Get an attorney now. Even if I'm wrong, which I'm probably not, you're better off having good legal advice. Also, check your bank accounts. If all of the money is still there, withdraw at least half for yourself.

Since those in attendance are responsinle for breakfast and dinner, I'm assuming this school doesn't take place at Bethel. So, where do they stay, and are they responsible to pay for lodging?

My almost 23-year old step-son moved back in a few months ago. I'm fine with it, but his dad gets irriatated that he doesn't keep his room clean. Until he switched from working a day to afternnon shift job, he was a big help with yard work and such.
