Where did you sit in the KH?
by Evidently Apostate in
1. jw
2. friends
the official wt understanding on where to park your butt during the meeting is to move around from meeting to meeting in order to get in more association or whatever but i never really saw things that way.

the kh seating arraingment at my hall went as follows;.

if you sat in the front you were really late or wanted to seem really spiritual.. the elders and pioneers always liked the same seats every meeting.. shiftless ones and those who wanted sympathy for thier back ailments would stand in the back during the talks.. ever had a sister in your hall bring in their own chair and footstool?.

i was going through some boxes the other day and found the letter we received to use for reference's in looking for work after bethel.. we left bethel in 1994 a long time ago now it seems.

the letter was written by max larson.

i have not seen this letter for years and reading it this time it struck me how cold it really was.

Confessions of a Wayward Pioneer
by Giordano in
1. jw
2. friends
frank was concerned that they might be dumping them in the woods or something so he wanted me to check it out.. i had a hard time convincing h and h to let me join them in service, finally i dropped a few hints that i was a pretty laid back brother who didn't always follow wtbts policy......... which wasn't far from the truth.

this guy was hard core.

by FifthOfNovember in
1. jw
2. friends
it's been a few months since i've been out in service and almost a month of no meetings.

the co is visiting soon and i'm already paranoid enough about random stops by elders (although this hasn't happened yet).

should i worry when the co is here?.

Paranoia is killing me
by FifthOfNovember in
1. jw
2. friends
when i have "worldly" friends over i am constantly checking the window every time i hear something that even remotely sounds like a car door.. when i play violent video games i constantly pause the game and look out of the window every time i think i hear a car door.. when i go to the movies to see something rated r i always look around for witnesses.. if i suspect witnesses will show up i "witness-proof" the house.

i hide 10 out of the 12 x-box games i own.

erase the history on my desktop, laptop, ipad, and cell phone.
