ok one of the only two peopel who don't know i haven't gone to meetings in 3 years sent me this remark: , i can't believe how all this time has gone by.

the one good thing about getting older like this is that it brings us that much closer to the new system.

i need a witty reply.

being a jw takes it's toll on people's physical and mental health.

I've hired sniper kitty to protect my apartment. I saved her (didn't know that, didja?) on my computer

When is the best time to have one of these wing-dings? First of the month so everyone has a bit of gas money, beer money, food to share money, etc...(just being considerate of the economic bind the country's in).

I don't know when, but it needs to be a first of the month thing. I've never planned something like a meet up. So, how do I do it? I don't have money to spare for anything with a lot of extras, but I was thinking of a park and potluck. Please suggest things

Coven of the Rowan Star is having theirs (I'm a petitioner) tomorrow in Delaware. This has been my year of firsts. Every ritual I go to is my first one for that sabbat/esbat. I'm still learning

Zero,
If anyone sounded like they needed a career change, it's you. Sounds like your job is running you into the ground.
Me? I'm so much healthier mentally and emotionally. I no longer stare out the window wishing someone would visit me. I'm so busy with college and taking 100% responsibility for my successes and failures that when I feel a crappy mood coming on, I do something constructive about it. I have friends that know I'm out of the JW's and into Wicca and paganism and that's just fine with them. I've got the right friends and am still looking out for more potential friends. I feel so upbeat most of the time, it's silly! I've never felt good like this before. Making my own decision based on my own reasons is just the bees knees!!!
Blessed Beltane! Blessed Bee's knees!

Will Women Eventually Start Being Used As Servants?
by White Dove in

2. beliefs
as the men in the congregations suffer from burnout and quit helping out as ms and elders, do you think the situation of shrinkage will become so desperate that the wts will be forced to start using women in positions of authority?

they have a huge commodity that they are refusing to use.

that makes no sense at all.
White Dove

I agree. They could use those Jewish beanies that the men use on their heads. It is for covering and beats doilies

I have a theory regarding Elders
by Peppermint in

there has been much talk about the reasons for the demise of the book study.

the society claim rising gas/petrol prices, which of course is not the real reason.

some here think its down to declining numbers of elders and those who are reaching out.

The blood issue has nothing to do with the elders?! Just who does the enforcing of NO BLOOD? If a JW takes blood, just who is it that decides that that person DA'd and who announces it from the platform? Who conducts the JUDICIAL (judging) committees for those who decided that they didn't want to die to preserve a symbol (Christ's blood)? The elders are too having everything to do with the blood issue. Who OK's what is written about it in the publications? Hmm?????? The Governing Body does. What are they made up of? ELDERS. Without elders, my friend would still be a JW. She is alive for taking blood. The elders say that she DF'd herself. That is bull$hit!
