Would/should a JW sell their Xmas decorations/ornaments for $?
by Gram ini wonder how this would be viewed -- a jw or "new one" selling for $$ their xmas stuff at a garage sale or other.
would they be wrong in profiting financially and/or propogating the celebration of christmas?
donating to a thrift store?

Please accept my sincerest sympathy. I too have been through this, losing my husband on December 11, 1990 and my mother on December 27, 1990 - 16 days apart. BUT, we survive and I think that there is an inner protective device that kicks in when you really need it most. You will get through this. You must never sink into any feelings of guilt! Please remember this and reflect on good memories shared by both of you. Take it one day at a time, it does get better.

Any thoughts?

I am starting a new video series: Ex-Gilead Missionary
by Awakened at Gilead ini have been debating on how best to get the word out about jws and the wts... i have thought about blogs... but i just can't get myself to create the blog... and my youtube videos that i colaborated on with v have been successful on youtube... i have received many comments, and some inquiries from active jws based on the video.
.
i have created an introductory video that will give some background and you can see my style... i am also looking for constructive feedback... at the moment i am using windows movie maker, so the graphics are pretty cruddy, i apologize... if you know of a cheap or free movie editor that would be great.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtdmkgfxml4.

You come across as VERY sincere, not angry, not raving. Also you had great eye contact. I like the beard!

Kingdom Hall Interiors
by TheMan inso i drove by my old kingdom hall the other day and noticed that it had a for sale sign in front of it.
this came as no surprise to me, as i knew that they recently won approval to build a new kingdom hall in a neighboring town.
(caused a bit of a stir in town - but that's a different story).

Did you SAVE money by using a hotel on the recommended lodging list?
by truthseeker ini haven't seen this question posted here before, but did any of you who stayed at one of the hotels on the society's recommended lodging list save money than if you attended a hotel not on the list?.
having seen a few of these lists, it seems the rates given are expensive..

I was a young single sister travelling alone, by bus, no car to the San Francisco DA back in the late 60's. I had flown into Sacramento from the East Coast to visit relatives, then they put me on a bus to San Francisco. The Society had made my reservations at the Civic Center Hotel -- no longer there. No elevator, air, etc.etc. BUT the worst part of it was a shared bathroom down the hall with all the other guests. The neighborhood looked very unsafe to me -- around the Civic Center and on Market Street. I returned to the check-in desk and promptly checked out. I hauled my suitcases down Market until I came to the Cable Car which took me up to the Sir Francis Drake. Fortunately, they had a room, not much more expensive than the other one and just 2 blocks to where the bus picked you up to take you to the assembly...also a much safer place to stay. I often wondered if they took into consideration on my rooming request form that I was female, age 19 and travelling alone. It never made sense to me.
