Kate , it just goes to show their lack of unity which they constantly bang on about when some parts around the globe elders will view YMCA membership as a "grey area" where as my old cong would happily DF you in an instant if you was to join thats why no body did, just becsuse its a 1979 article reinforces their abillity to be able to quote it from the WT, if you was to casually sit in front of a JC and say the article was printed in 1979 and it must be "old light" I think in most instances you would have signed your DF in a second.

clearly she was frightened off, she came to the right place though and left with some excellent resource material.
My old cong had a huge YMCA about 5 minutes away and included a large accomadation area , gym, restaurant , coffee shop etc, I think most Dubs in the area would'nt even walk past it let alone even enter the building , I believe there was a few small snippets in WT articles over the years in regards to joining this orginization and possibly we even had a local needs talk about it, the general consensus was that is was in no uncertain terms a big "no no"

OMG I'm so happy!!!!
by Julia Orwell inyup, the apostate is happy.
i shouldn't be, right, because my life is empty without "jehovah" and the organisation.. but i just got a job at one of the best theme parks in the world, which is so what i want to do, and it's the first permanent job i've had since i lost my government job in 2012!.
the job pays minimum wage but i don't care because working in tourism and entertainment is what i want to do!

I think the troll alert alarm has sounded, she's mentioned the YMCA thing about a dozen times and has completely ignored Outlaws excellent 2 posts and the half dozen or so links to jwfacts.com!

I am going insane sitting here in the meeting listening to this repetitive garbage!
by stuckinarut2 inso i am sitting here at the meeting during the "book study".... the study is all about gods protective power!.
oh, yes, protective power....for righteous servants of his.....but what about all those who are trying to be good witnesses, serving the gb, who are not protected from harm?

not great idea , its highly likely you could play right into his hands, unless of course you keep the converstaion away from anything JW releated, a CO tried this old trick on me some years back, he and the last CO were on my wifes case although she loved it she sang like a canary about my apostacy.

We thought it might be Armageddon when...
by cultBgone inwere there ever specific occurrences which you or those around you thought might be the start of "armageddon"?.
i remember 9/11 being such a day as it happened right as the meeting for field service ended.
it was the week of the c.o.

the 1986 was a biggie, plus we had an obsessive idiot of a PO who endlessly banged on about the impossibility of the "old system" going into the new millenium.

My Elderette is returning today to CONDUCT another conversation...
by Faithful Witness inshe has had 42 years of training and indoctrination.
i'm feeling sort of nervous, but also looking forward to it.
this will be our second scheduled session together, and we never did agree on a topic.. i'm assuming she will come with an agenda and another prepared presentation.

100% agreeing with CultB, cut these meets down to one more, if you feel you are going to be able to plant some seeds , do some anti witnessing then so be it, reading back on your posts the level of rudeness these two have subjected you to is really quite breathtaking, plus you let them easily control the exchanges and didnt stick to your guns, quit now , they are not worth wasting any more time on.

perhaps a pointer to nexts weeks arrangment should begin with please dont under any circumstances patronize or use a condescending manor! any other phrases like the "kindergarten" one and I'll call this whole arrangment off. Also I think its vitally important not to let these 2 ladies get any "upper hand" in your interactions with them, tell them I will not be opening JWOrg as I dont have internet coverage(flick the router off) and I would prefer the discussion to be bible based so please dont offer and show me WT publications, this reduces the patronizing effect and leaves you with the upperhand still, better still inform them that you really have a vast knowledge of WT publications printed over the years.
