  i was disfellowshipped when i was 21 (raised as a witness).

  my mother who is now 80 and a diehard witness always hoped that i would return.

  she is concerned that she will soon pass away and the arrangements.

  Mate, at least you are being honest. I had to have my first meaningful and honest talk with my Mum since my fade, not something enjoyable, but honest.

  Toilet quandries: The seat: Up/Down and Toilet paper direction

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  those who have lived with the opposite sex know of the frustration of being lectured about some triviality.. the toilet seat/paper controversy is among the most inflammatory.. men who forget to put the toilet seat back down inspire anger, rage, resentment and the stern lecture.. the easiest solution is to train the man to always sit down when he goes.. .

  others argue over the direction of the toilet paper: forward overlap or backward underlap.. .

  how do you deal with these issues and how violent do you become?.

  Seat & Lid must be down & clean. Toilet paper over the top and I fold the end of it into a arrow head, and no Im not gay (not that there is anything wrong with that) I care more about the state of the toilet than the wifey...... The ensiute is my escape form the outside world, my panic room so to speak ;-)

  As CB said, PM yknot, I did and read the entire new elders book this afternoon after getting the link. Better to have downloaded the link elsewhere than have Simon dragged into it by the wtb$ lawyer$. Cheers & happy brazen conduct, Mattieu

  google_ad_section_start hi everyone, i am just new to this site and thanks for a very dear friend that has encouraged me to post my story and would love to hear feedback from all you out there xx.

  this is my story.

  we were introduced to the religion in 1982, not soon after we were unbaptized publishers (a bit to soon for me even at that age) i really didnt miss the celebrations as much as were werent that well off and my parents worked 6 days a week to pay the bills.
