hey (((Shirley)))
long time, gal!
One question........
.goes for the crack
....what do you guys do during your meetings over there???
I understand that man maybe lonely and want association, but I never heard that phrase before.
I don't have an answer for you about talking to your JW/partime/friend but don't we all wake up at our time schedule? You may want to ring her and tell her she's not responsible for whatever announcement the elders give (the elders are). And since you don't recongize the silly authority the WTBTs thinks it has over you, then whatever silly announcement they make is their silly rules.
Anyway, hope all is well with you and your family.
Hugs,
Joy
