No Shorts and T-Shirts After Convention - Remember?
by mentallyfree31 indoes everyone remember a few years back, when the km directed that nobody should wear shorts after the convention while out and about?
i don't have the reference, but i remember a brother in our hall made a comment that night at the meeting while it was being discussed.
he was a very poor brother, with 3 children.

Well, I believe a lot of parents let their kids swim in the pool after dinner. But, I think it's just stupid to expect everyone to go out and eat in their dress clothes, especially children. Are they going to pay for everyone's dry cleaning? I think not.

what were your meetings for field service experiences?
by Coffee House Girl inmy mom (still in the borg) was telling me about going out with the c.o and his wife this week in field service & i started re-living the horror show that would go on during saturday meetings for field service-.
ah... the dreaded splitting up into car groups... i always felt like we were in gym class being grouped together for a game of dodgeball-.
the co and elders were the team captains and we would line up for the count.

Similiar experience here. It is kind of nerve- wracking not knowing who you will be working with for the morning. It has a lot to do with who you're sitting by too. And if they have room in a decent car group, raise your hand quick. One Saturday, I was put in a car group with all older brothers and I was the only sister. Now, I did this before and I didn't mind. But, some mornings you can only handle so much. I guess my facial expression showed I wasn't too happy so they moved me out of that group. And afterwards, a couple sisters were acting like I made big deal over it. When really I said nothing, I just can't hide how I feel in my face too much.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dog over two years ago and since adopted another one, but I still miss my other dog. It's hard and not everyone understands this kind of loss. But, are pets are part of the family.

My congregation is quite emotional and at least 5 or 6 comments were near tears,because they are so happy to be living the best life. And being the happiest people on earth, yeah,I was thinking, because you're all on anti-depressants.

I've lived a sheltered life, and I put a lot on hold waiting for the new system. I regret wasting so much time. But, I have to get over my fear and live my life now. It makes me sad and angry when ones at the hall tell me they are waiting for this or that until the new system.

I can't bear to go this year. Last year was awful. But, now that the convention are three days long, most students would only miss one day of school. Most Witness kids I know are home or cyber schooled anyway. lol.

Well, now they counsel you privately, anything about the talk said from the platform is on a positive note. And the Bible reading, is that, only reading. Lucky brothers. The hardest and most important part of a talk for the sisters is the setting. And it is hard to find an interesting and realistic setting. On my last assingment, I told the overseer, I just couldn't get it together. I shouldn't have said anything, because the meeting was cancelled due to snow. But, recently, he asked if I wanted on the schedule again and like a wimp I said okay.
