re: midweek meetings during visit of circuit overseer .
I haven't been to the KH since the 80's but that was what happened whenever our CO visited, we always had usual ministry school meeting and he spoke at the end.
But I remember we always had an extra meeting on Saturday where he spoke for the whole meeting, do they still do that?
i just ordered this book.
(ok... it's not linking, it's called "i'm perfect, you're doomed: tales from a jehovah's witness upbringing" by kyria abrahams).
i came across it when trying to explain to a coworker about the end of the world images that would be in watchtowers when i was growing up and why they gave me horrible nightmares.
as she just made poor choices (not everything in life can or should be blamed on being raised JW).
MY thoughts also, keep that comment in mind from Gypsy Sam as you read the book

Yeah I read it, it has some interesting parts to it.
it seems every cong seems to have some guy who is 35 and never had a job or moved out of mom and dads basement.. i knew a guy who just hand out magazines at work so he would get eventually fired and could sleep in till noon everyday.
of course his elder father though he was a real matyr cause he kept losing jobs for jehovah.
i have an electrican friend who apprenticed some jw kid till he got his ticket and he quit him to pioneering.
TOOOOOO NUMEROUS TO MENTION !!
But the most visual losers are the folks that just stand with the literature in their hands in the subway stations, not talking about the table set up or anything, just the ones that still stand like statues with 2 mags, doing it all for Jah. How could you possibly think that filling out a timesheet every week with a certain amount of hours on it will get you everlasting life . . . .LOSERS ! ! !
it's mother's day today, a lovely tradition that probably raises lots of thoughts and emotions in ex jws... i was walking around the local supermarket and remembered my family's next door neighbours, who were very intellectually disabled.. in hindsight they probably weren't able to look after themselves, as they lived in absolute squalor.. they didn't have two coins to rub together, yet they went to the effort to buy my family a card and get them a small gift.. i was newly out, and watched in absolute shame and horror as my mother said, in a very superior manner " we don't celebrate christmas", .
it's something i think of often with shame... i too was that superior... to my shame..

Yeah, I remember the pompous attitudes of the Dubs when I was growing up also, which by the way they still have.
i often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.
while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).
a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.
While we're throwing out names of Bethelites, anyone know Keith and Becky Hopper? Last I heard they were still there, they were in my mother's Cong and he was the top Elder of the Cong. can't think of what you call it now.
i need to know which book is currently being studied at the book study..
I thought there was no more weekly book study
one of them is nose rings/piercings.

Rub A Dub says a woman not well trimmed south of the border
I say a man who doesn't care for woman not well trimmed south of the border (to his own individual idea of what well trimmed is) but yet has a rain forest himself scattered over the immediate area of his "meat and two veg"

A woman who has no appreciation for a nice Dutch Oven.
I appreaciate a Dutch Oven, I find they're quite nice for making a stew and roasting a chicken . . .
(I get what you're saying Keyser, I have the "Fart-O-Tron" saved to my favorites on my computer when I'm in a silly mode and feel like laughing)
i saw two brothers this morning next to the main train station in liverpool city centre this morning.
they were not actively approaching anyone.
what i found strange was that they were from a cong that has different territory, so i don't know why they were there.. anyway i knew them both, and they know i was df'd, i was in my car and couldn't park up for a chat, but i did beep and wave to them as i drove passed and they waved back.
Sometimes I like to approach and ask them questions about and quote some of the stuff from their publications from more than 10 years ago, I like to hear what some of them say, which is usually quite idiotic and I leave wondering if they really buy in to the bull crap in their hearts but are just putting on a show
