much trouble... or, things to do at the mtg that will raise eyebrows but won't get you into to much trouble.. i've been thinking about this since i still go.

i'm surprised at how much a person can get away with if they are in a hall that they have no family in that particular kingdom hall.... at the memorial i put on so much dark eye make-up i was shocked my husband didn't say anything walking out the door.

instead, i got compliments, lol, not exactly what i planned on.... one of my friends who faded went to the memorial and she had a pretty low cut shirt on.

ok everyone, who has to go to the memorial tonight?

check in here, state the reason you have to go, and when you get back, let us know how it went and your impressions.

for me, i have to go for my family--since i'm doing the fade i figure it won't kill me to go.

What's the lowest meeting attendance you've ever seen?
by Open mind in
1. jw
2. friends
i'm talking about congos with at least 40-50 publishers in the file.

we had a nearby congo that supposedly had 60-65 publishers and their attendance on one tms/sm night hit an all-time low of 14. they had a ton of elderly/infirm.

they finally merged and now everybody's happy about the "increase".

How sweet is it to NOT be a JW?
by new light in
1. jw
2. friends
do you ever revisit the old jw ways of thinking, and then compare it to the complete freedom that you have now?

do you remember judging and fearing the everyday activities of the people around you?

remember that dread of restating "your" position on holidays every few weeks, knowing you would just end up further alienated from coworkers?

2. friends
i'm just wondering what everyone's favorite brand and type of ice cream is.

i recently have been able to eat dairy products after having my gall bladder removed.

i always thought i was lactose intolerant, but all along it was my g.b.

Hello, I'm new...

i just joined this forum today after reading the comments on today's watchtower (which i have to attend in about an hour unfortunately).

i was raised in "the truth" and it was only recently that i began to listen to a close friend of mine as he pointed out the secrets and lies that is the watchtower society and governing body.

even though he was informing me for almost a year, he never gave up on me.
