  by Xandria in

  i did not date until 19 ... and married the only person i dated.

  he kept going of course ( which may of been the wise choice) for she may of done him in if he stopped.

  luckily she made a mad dash for the door and made inside in record time.

  I wasn't raised in the truth, so I could "date" with plenty of supervision. When I was 12 years old, I had a boyfriend who wanted more than just kissing. We went to a school dance, me in a hand me down satin dress that was way too grown-up for me, and him in his best jeans. We sat side by side, never spoke, he finally dragged his chair over to his buddies. I sat there with with sweaty palms and a trembling heart.

  Finally the damn thing was over and my mom picked us up and took us home. When we dropped him at his house, his first and last words of the evening were, "Well, thanks anyway!" Next day he asked me for his locket back. Guess he thought it would be a nite of wild abandon since we were away from home. What an asshole. Probably we were both assholes.

  as of 8:30 pm this evening the appeal hearing decided to uphold the decision.

  i spoke to them for over an hour and tried to reason with them as to the validity of their decision.

  frankly, they were not interested.

  Duckling,

  I can certainly empathize with your statement...Why did'nt I research all this and doublecheck what I was told. In my case, I had complete trust in the older couple who studied with us. I guess I thought they walked on water. Pretty dumb, huh.

  it takes but one major star, producer or hollywood executive to take the tragic silentlambs saga to heart.

  Dear LyinEyes

  What a beautiful letter to your family. I think many of us feel the same way.

  The term "Apostate" used to be such a dirty word to me........... now it means brother/sister.

  Amen to that.

  1st Timothy 5:8...speaks about providing for your own, especially those in one's household, and if not doing so being worse than those without faith.

  Aren't we suposed to be a family? Don't we view the elders as "fathers" in a sense. Wives will listen to elders over their own husbands. Adult witnesses feel they have the right to chastize children that are not their own flesh and blood. Sounds like a family to me. After all we are a world-wide brotherhood. So why is the above scripture not heeded?

  The acts of charity I've seen at the hall are by chance. There is absolutely no organized plan for caring for people who need help. In fact, at one assembly an experience was given by a sister who disparaged the local church's so called "care committee."

  Witnesses are so organized when it comes to counting time, attendance, territory records, account reports, etc. but no organized means to help those of the congregation in need except "encouragement" to get out in service and attend all the meetings.
