  i finally saw that november 15th wt article on prayer that everyone has been talking about - the people in the photos look as stiff as corpses!.

  people will be called in the back room for inadvertantly making contact with their spouse during prayer.. i think i will adopt the following stance during prayer now:.

  they never will say you "cant". It's all suggestive...a hint for everyone to get the point.

  I remember an elder once telling me that when the "slave" makes a suggestion, it's a rule.

  Elders and texting

  not sure if this was caught on in your cong or not, but now our service overseers text everyone in their group for their field service time.. now i understand that texting and email are good tools, i use them everyday.

  but how impersonal can you be.

  espicially when it comes to "life saving work".

  I remember a couple of elders having the latest tech gadgets...always showing them off to us lowly folks.

  I too have received requests for meetings through text.

  as the holiday season approaches, me and my wife (yes finally married!

  ) are looking for ways to celebrate the holidays, secretly.

  i think we both would love to partake in them publicly, but our current status and relationships wont allow that just yet.

  bluecanary - I do remember "thanksgiving" dinners on Friday, to you know, cook the Turkey dad got for free from his employer. LOL... For Christmas, decorating the inside of the house will be difficult, but we will be exchanging gifts. We'll see how it goes. Thanks!

  leavingwt - great site! THanks!

  yknot - I like your suggestion. Decorating for the season sounds like a wonderful plan...thank you!

  Any suggestions on how to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas privately?

  Question for Faders.....

  by lepermessiah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did you all start getting the "full court press" from "friends" to start doing more things socially as you began your fade?.

  i havent been invited to do a whole lot the last few months, but now all of a sudden i am getting phone calls and invites to do things.

  fortunately, it hasnt been - "hey lets go out in field service" or anything like that since i would tell them to take a hike (which at this point means make myself busy at work or otherwise) .

  I have experienced the opposite. The more time i have been faded, the more everyone that was a friend has forgotten about me. But such is life...it's hard at first because well you really dont have "worldly" friends to replace the witness ones. But it gets better with time...
