  kids in the hall

  by rockmehardplace in

  no, not the comedy.

  i see alot of parents at the kingdom halls - and more than one that i have been to - that pass their children off to other people in the kh all the time.

  are the children supposed to be with the parents and not with other people?

  When I had little kids and babies we had really good friends that had older kids, they often sat with us at meetings and always at the assembly, they were such a great help to us helping to keep the kids distracted. Then when our kids got older we helped people out with little ones all the time. Now I realize it gave me something fun to do also.

  for me, i don't, i like to keep the house clean of pet hairs, etc...., that does not mean i hate pets.

  I love animals but just don't want to live in the same quarters as them. I wipe after I use the bathroom and wear pants (most of the time), animals do neither and sit on the same couch or rug, can't get past it.

  One hundred eleven assemblies

  my dad visited recently and somehow we got on the subject of assemblies.

  he's been in the truth 37 years and figured he'd been to 3 assemblies a year.

  that meant he had been to 111 assemblies in his life!

  Ugh, I just did the math and I went to 129 assemblies. What a colossal waste of time. My mom was always so proud that I never missed one, even the month I was born, even when I had pneumonia, even when I was 3 and it was for 8 excruciating days in July in Atlanta!

  i got no sleep at all last night... this was mostly because i was dancing on tabletops in nightclubs.

  and also because i'd had way too much to drink, but mostly because i was having a great time!!

  i got home around the time that everyone else was getting up.. it was soooo good!

  I think you just need to kind of sleep the morning away. Sip on Gatorade. Don't take Tylenol for a hangover because it is a bit rough on the liver and you already insulted it a little. Think about next Friday night and some sensible shoes so you don't hurt yourself on those tabletops (OK you can tell I am someones mother). NMKA

  NLP, welcome. It's been about a year and a half for my family. We were 3rd generation and just stopped abruptly. Our whole extended family is "in". I feel as though the weight of the world has been lifted off of me and I am told it shows. I hope the same for you. It is amazing what a year can do. Embrace your family("worldly"), I have found them to be quite forgiving. Good luck.

  Blood and the Hospital Liaison Committee

  by BathroomServant1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  before i ask the question i have, i'll present some background information.. my story: when i was 16, i was hospitalized with bone marrow cancer for an extended period of time.

  of course, the blood issue came up as doctors noticed that i may quickly need one.

  at the time being fully "in", i refused one, but being a minor the doctors pushed the issue to the court system.

  Wow, how scary that must have been for a sixteen year old kid, sounds like HLC treatment was one of the things that woke you up. We needed them for a serious illness my husband had, as a nurse I realised very soon that they were totally useless. I did my research on my own (pre Internet) he ended up being OK with the help of an excellent medical center in or area. The main bother in our city on the HLC is a complete imbecile. He literally is a pioneer window washer, that doesn't even have health insurance himself, so as he is speaking to a physician on a dying brothers behalf he also asking about his wife's rash. He's a total embarrassment. The rank and file don't understand this and rely on him to speak on their behalf before a complicated surgery. One sister was on the gurney being prepped for surgery, thinking Brother HLC had met with him, when she referred to bloodless surgery the doctor said "what? we can't do this without blood". That's my experience with them. NMKA
