I don't remember parties ever being held for elders, but it would be no different than the annual pioneer dinner. Why honor them? It always frustrated the hell out of me when they expected handouts because they were a pioneer..if they choose that lifestyle they need to support themselves!

A Party For The Elders
by Mrs. Witness inat the risk of outing myself and my hubby, i just had to run this by everyone to see if it was just me.... last night i attended a function that the women of hubby's hell put together to honor their boe.
there was much food and they put the guys up on a stage and played "name that elder" and then interviewed each one.
the mc of the event gave deep commentary regarding his feelings of each of the elders.. i thought the elders weren't special...that they were just regular joes with more responsibility...certainly not guys that should be lauded for doing what they have been given the "priviledge" of doing.... am i wrong?.

I think charges should be brought up against those adults. I know it's her fault for taking her own life, but like so many teenage girls, she already had low self esteem and those messages just pushed her to that point. They have no business doing that to anyone, let alone a child! You never in reality know who you are talking to online....

BEFORE and AFTER
by Gretchen956 ini was getting a chuckle about the placement of thread titles this morning:.
criticize constructively - stupid idiots at the meeting.
singing thread - another take on the new wt format.

Finally confronted my mother...
by Caedes ini finally had the chance to talk to my mum about growing up as a witness and my thoughts on her religion, needless to say it didn't go well.
i don't think she has ever really worked out the implications are of what she believes, i pointed out that it is really difficult to relate to (and have a relationship with) someone who is looking forward to the day when her murderous little god kills her children.
i don't think she really understood the point i was making or didn't want to think about the point i was making.

everytime she had a choice between family and her religion, it was religion every time.
I think that's basically the same with all JW parents. I haven't seen my parents in three months and called them and told them I was bringing my son down to see them this weekend. They told me as far as they knew they didn't have any plans but that if something came up (meaning if any of their JW friends would be around) they would call me. Makes me so angry! I know they love me, but why do they choose the religion, the society, over their own blood??? I would never do that to my child!
