friends

and do you normally eat more "nice" festive dinner on friday evenings?.

tonight i'm having tacos.

have a great weekend everybody and enjoy your mornings without any early meetings for field service.

I am having taco's,too!! My family loves them. I save my fancy dinner's for the weekend-especially Sunday's. That's our lazy day. And you are right about the leisurely Saturday and Sunday mornings. I feel absolutely no guilt sleeping in (anymore). You have a great weekend too.

Can I count my time if I was anti-witnessing to a co-worker? Or is it just for anti-witnessing to a JW?

The Spirit of The Congregation

by minimus in

jw
friends

each hall has their own "spirit'.

some congregations are very strict.

others more liberal and still others, a little in between.

QuestioningEverything

The first congregation I went to was very friendly, the elders were helpful and appeared to be caring. They weren't too 'strict" but neither were they too 'lenient'. I enjoyed the people at that hall .

The second congregation I went too(unwillingly, they changed the KH boundaries and I was forced to move) was horrible.!! It was very cliqueish(sp?). Many of the members had been at that hall since it was created and the body of Elders had been there just as long. and if you weren't part of the original members family, then you were nothing, despite how 'theocratic' you were. They were very unfriendly, snobby and very judgmental. The elders were overly strict in interpreting the WTBS.

One circuit overseer told them that if they didn't get it together as far as unity and extending themselves to new ones and those less fortunate that they would continue to sit at the table of the demons! I absolutely hated that congregation! I disliked most of the members who attended it, they represented everything that I disliked in a person.

While at work today, a man in the office next to me had a heart attack. The office staff were yelling for someone who knew CPR. I thought to myself,' I know CPR'. I went into the area they were at and he was on the ground. Another guy was there beginning to do chest compressions. So, I began the mouth to mouth. He was not breathing at all. After about 4 rounds of chest compressions/breathing, the guy started to cough and gasp. He was taken to the hospital and will be released in a few days.

It was an incredible experience.

what sports are frownd upon by the WT

i joined a gym recently an.d the instructor was telling me that i would be good at starting out with some boxing due to my size and speed and previous experience prior to being a jw.

i am not sure at my age if i want to start that up and i am sure that as i fade, that it would not be in my best interest to draw unneccesary attention to myself.

but it led me to thinking.. in the usa, we are told that some sports are violent and should not be viewed.

American Football-violent

Basketball-competitive
