  I remember the rush to get the food even before Amen was said.

  Those annoying tickets too. Couldn't pay with cash. I think Shasta

  went out of business when the food thing went.

  It's all part of "Jehovah's loving arrangement."

  wt december 15, 2010. snippets from this watchtower are below.

  keeping in mind that all articles are written with an agenda, to address problems in the organization or to pave the way for new guidelines, look at what i highlighted.

  my conclusions are:.

  Question about the new song book...is there anywhere I can go to hear

  how bad they really are? I'm just dying to hear a few!!! Worst part of the meeting

  for me. EVERYONE sang the soprano line out of tune.

  Of course I didn't expect many of you to advocate it, quite

  the contrary. I'm not naive at all. I just didn't expect some

  of you to judge me like you have. That's all. I thought this was

  a place where I could be open and express my thoughts freely;

  and while I do expect some harsh feedback, as the subject is controversial,

  I guess I just expected some of you to be a bit more sympathetic. NONE of

  you have walked in my shoes. It's not like I'm doing it or have decided to do it.

  I'm not jumping into something without thinking about all the consequences.

  I just have no one to talk to.

  Syl,

  You're the nicest poster on this board. Thank you for not attacking me.

  I guess I thought that this board would be less like being in a JW congregation

  than I thought. I've had enough years of being judged. No one knows my personal

  circumstances. Yes, bankruptcy has crossed my mind a few times but it would ruin

  my credit and perhaps my chances of future employment, since they do check.

  Part of the problem is that I assist my siblings financially quite a bit. My brother's always

  in danger of losing his apartment (and has two children -- their mother died three years ago) and

  my younger sister can't find work even though she has a degree and is sleeping on someone's

  couch while waiting tables. For years I helped my sister in Florida with her bills while she was in

  nursing school. I guess I just didn't think too much about putting aside more money for leaner times.

  I had a huge pay cut recently as well.

  I am going to try and hang on and get through this with drastic options like bankruptcy.

  I hope in future that some of these posters get kinder feedback than I have when they

  need someone to talk to.

  Plus...I was only asking for feedback. I haven't made

  any decision yet. I just thought I could get some opinions

  here without being personally attacked. (By some. Some of

  you have been quite understanding.) I am at a crossroads in

  my life right now and have had some really devestating personal

  crises and am in danger of losing my home.

  Stripper..uh, no. Too old. I was however eons ago a Hooter's

  girl. I don't consider that much different.

  You lot can be harsh. I am not a whore nor do I intend to become a

  prostitute. I have actually known this man for quite a while and am really

  fond of him as well. We've been friends for ages and see each other in town quite a

  bit....but I am out of this conversation right now. thanks for your input though.

  I hope some of you are as perfect as you profess....

  Peace....

  Thanks for being so open minded....you all make a point. It's just that I was considering

  an "arrangement." I'd get some financial help with my schooling, etc. (I work full time and have a

  part time job so I'm no gold digga). He'd get what he wants. I keep going back and forth on this one.

  Just wanted your feedback. I haven't made my mind up. (Not until I see his yacht anyway. :)
