How do you know what John says is fictitious? Were you there when it happened? I know I wasn't. All I know is you called him out and said you didn't believe his experience.

Me using the terms I did in my post were directed at John Aquilla, not you. I wrote them to try to be an encouragement to him. They were not a ad hominem attack on you, just an observation.

The new service meeting

by John Aquila in

i wanted to relate an experience that happened this morning.

it is regarding the new format for the meeting on thursdays in my area.

its not word for word but im summarizing what i heard, the best i can remember.

You must think it applies to you. Grow some thicker skin. About the pack mentality, I will just quote one of your comments: "I'm with slimboyfat and Wasanelder Once. and 2+2=5. Where are WingCommander, Vidiot, & sir82?" Please explain how my comment was wrong about a dog pack?.

A number of people have accused John of lying. They are the ones I was referring to. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings. But if the shoe fits . . .

John A.,

I really enjoyed your experience. It actually parallels some of the things my mother and her friends say. I am glad that your mother has a good son like you. Someone that her and her friends obviously feel comfortable around.

Try not to let the dog pack get you down. The know-it-all types need to get their own life, instead of trying to dissect yours for sport.

by new boy in

jw
friends

in 1961 my father was disfellowshipped for not doing to the kingdom hall he was assigned to.. if i'm lying...my dying!.

it was the glendora california congeration.

the committee was.. john smoley.

I knew of an elderly sister that owned and ran a small senior citizens home. The crime she was DFed for is letting the residents eat candy given to them by others on holidays.

If YOU had to make the decision, would you respect a JW relatives wish to refuse a blood transfusion?

by nicolaou in

a few years after i quit the meetings my mum needed her medical directive signed and witnessed and she asked if i'd do it.

i was surprised to say the least!.

i think she was just angling to include me and maybe find some lever to get me involved again.

As for the B&W thinking:

All I said in my first post is that I would respect my mothers wishes.

Then a few people try to tell me that I am wrong without knowing the nuances of my situation. It was not an argument that I was looking for. I just had a few ignorant people trying to convince me that I am wrong without knowing any of the facts.

Frankly I do not care what anyone thinks about my decisions, unless they know the entirety of my situation, and I respect their opinion. OTWO does, and I appreciated his imput. I am now done talking about it.

Let the know-it-alls continue on . . .
