Well....I recently moved 10 miles out of the territory and so heven't been to a meeting in 3 months. Guess when elders call my cell phone?......aroung the 5th of each month wanting my time.....haha typical.
I bump into my elder buddies sometimes and am very friendly and conversant about the weather and other such deep matters.....:) Looks like I will always have family in so things will be a little tricky.....especially if/when I find a new sweety. It will be tough if she wants to celebrate holidays and my family sees....oh well....maybe I can find a nice asian or jewish girl. Witness family would be more accepting of that circumstance than marrying a different brand of Christian.....haha

Asked a co-worker to join Egg and me for my BD dinner...
by White Dove inhe's a guy and upon request, he gave me his e-mail address so he could give me a yes or a no to my invitation to join us tonight for dinner.. after i asked him if he'd like to join us, he snickered and said i don't know.
give me a couple of hours to think about it.
i asked him four hours later if he had decided, yet, but he hadn't even thought about it yet.. i said that it's not a test question, no right or wrong answer.. he asked where and i said it's a nice place uptown.. he said that he needed to think about it because of the dress up thing.. i said he didn't need to dress up, that just slacks and a nice shirt would do.. that was two days ago, and i haven't heard back from him, yet, although i did e-mail him so he could let me know.. i'm the wheels for the evening, so i needed to know so i could pick him up, or not.. does no answer (seems like avoidance) mean no, or is there some other excuse that might (wanna say rescue his ass but won't say it) be plausible?.

My column today on Freeminds - Being Disfellowshipped
by Lady Lee inthis is something i haven't discussed on jwn but yesterday the words finally came out.
this is about my being disfellowshipped , what led up to it, how i felt during it and what happened after.
it has been over 25 years since i was disfellowshipped so this piece of the story has taken a long time to write.

Lee.....I'm so sorry
How many times have I sat on a JC and been"helping a couple". I never had a clue what the wives really felt.....why they seemed so trodden down. I'm so sorry I ever participated.....
I'm just so grateful that you have recovered and can be such a giving and forgiving person....please understand that many of us elders (especially if "raised in the truth") were just mindless and controlled too....not that I'm excusing myself.....
I feel very guilty and have contributed to losing my dear wife and marriage too....we are still friends....she's out of the borg too...we both faded. I see more than ever what this religion has done to the women.....I'm so sorry.
Thanks for helping so many

KS10 Chapter Four Discussion
by yknot inin ch.
4 of 'shepherding the flock of god' by the wts is part of their worldwide non profit bible educational work which is supported by voluntary donation but not required in order for a publication to be placed with 'rightly disposed' persons.. chapter 4 addresses "assisting those who are weak" and is required reading prior to the ks.. it is the hope of this thread to assist those preparing for ks as well and assisting the wts in educating those about the responsibilities and directions elders must adhere.. here are the previous discussion threads:.

Latest SAD--More Higher Ed Bashing. Did you know it's one of Satan's False Refuges?
by Cadellin inwell, folks, this little mermaid just got back from the sad she had to attend w/her husband so as to keep a measure of peace (we're in the process of working out compromises...you know how it goes) i was pretty mad by the end of the day (thank god it ended at 4:00) mostly because i learned some new things that i would never have guessed in a million years.. did you know that satan is setting up artificial "refuges" as a counterfeit to jehovah's "true refuge"which is...his organization???
now satan's "false refuges" are pretty damn bad, like, for instance, "independent thinking.
" no, siree bob, we don't want none of that!!

I knew exactly what you meant and am in total agreement. My comments were just an addition. They frustrate me to no end...and I am proud to say that I personally never put that crap on a platform in all my years on the platform

In my opinion....what gets a job is a good work ethic. Of course, some jobs require degrees period.
It is not the degree that fails graduates.....it is assuming that the degree alone gets them a job.
Wrong....first and foremost is proving yourself an indespensible employee
If a person with great work habits also has a degree....so much the better.
Having owned and run a company with well over 100 employees....that's my input
By the way...I have no degree thanks to Me, Knorr, and F.Franz.....wish I had one

Shepherding Book Cover Guessing Game!
by yknot inlets play a guessing game to help us remain patient while the "shepherding' book is being scanned by more elders than i am gonna admit cuz i don't wanna embarrass the service department!.
so we know it is a softcover..... (if you are an elder and have yours-- mums the word-- please pass on playing and just enjoy the board speculation).
speculation:.
