The English Patient, Out of Africa, Titanic, Powder, Legends of the Fall, Dances With Wolves, Beaches, Ghost...oh I could go on and on. If anyone dies in a movie, unless it's an evil, wicked bad guy...I cry. I suffer from unusually leaky tear ducts.

So far no one from the KH has contacted me. But I think I'll just tell them..."Wait until the book comes out. Then you'll really have something to worry about"!

"Slogging" - the top speed at which JWs go door to door

by LovesDubs in

i know this topic has been beat to death probably in here...but i was watching some of the "friends" going down my street the other day (and they categorically skip my house because satan and i are tight you know) and it reminded me so much of how much i hated going door to door and how i prayed when it was my turn to knock that nobody was home.

and we walked down those streets with our little territory cards in hand, making anywhere from meticulous to rediculous notes about the house we were just at...and moving our feet as slowly as we possibly could to maintain a forward motion at all, to eat up the time we were forced to (yes i said forced to) report every month.

field service was what you called the time you spent between when you were at mcdonalds and dunkin donuts.

And here I thought I was the only one who detested service! I once told an elder, in fact the PO at the time, that I hated going door to door. He told me..."No you don't". And that was the end of the subject. I was literally sick to my stomach from the time I got up the morning I had to go out in service until it was over with.

I think they must have had quite a discussion whether or not to print this. As I said before...I submitted it May 25 and they finally printed it June 20. I have written open letters before...so they do know me (kind of a love/hate thing). The other letters were usually published within a week of sending them. They were mostly humorous comments on life in general. So this one must have been "up for discussion". I was thrilled when they actually printed it.

Now as for what I am going to do when the elders come hunting for some fresh blood...the hubster and I are at odds with each other on how it should be handled...when the time comes. (Oh...and it will come because they just can't ignore THAT letter)! I think that I will ignore them (they don't have our unlisted phone number)...except if they threaten to DF me by letter. Then I'll threaten them with a lawsuit for slander and promise them I'll give them more than a "letter to the Editor" if they want to do that. I can just let that letter feed off of itself until our local area knows what Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY are...not the sugar-coated version they get from the JW's at their door. My husband wants them to apologize for the "marking" of my son, done without any warning, a couple of nights before his wedding. LIKE THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND IT AIN'T GONNA CHANGE A THING. But he would never go back anyway...so what's the point.

I'm not afraid. I'm ready for a fight. Oooohhh...I got my dukes up and I'm dancing around and ready to throw a few punches.

Yeah.

Local Woman Shunned by Jehovah's Witness Church after giving her opinion in our paper.

Just let them do that Rabbit...that's all I need. A little push that way and out come the "pen and paper"...well, actually the computer. I can always threaten them with slander if they announce I've been DF'd without any notification. We haven't heard from any of the elders for years because they've got their tails between their legs pertaining to the situation that caused our exodus. Well, we'll see. I'm not going to stress out over it. Here's a good quote:
"Becoming less attached to outcomes doesn't mean that you don't care or that you don't try. Instead, it's more a matter of trying really hard, caring a great deal, putting the odds in your favor--but then letting go of the result and allowing things to unfold as they will (which is what will happen anyway).--from "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff"
