  i once attended a two day special assembly with my gums bleeding after having 4 widom teeth pulled the day before.

  i managed the two days by rinsing out my mouth all day long and placing cotton in my mouth.. one brother had back surgery the week before but attended a two day assembly by laying on a matress in the back of the assembly hall.

  why he needed to be there i'll never understand!.

  I worked in First Aid, at the assemblies, and I always wondered why the extreme sick ones would show up. Some had a guilt complex, and others didn't seem to understand any other life.

  To everyone in Calgary, I hope that you are safe during this crisis.

  I was just down last summer in Alberta, and I have some friends in Canmore. Hope they are ok. We are still waiting for their responses. They would have had to evacuate.

  Manditory Security Clearence and Identification Badge For Any Door to Door Canvassers Religous or Commercial

  by frankiespeakin in

  2. child-abuse

  people going door to door uninvited should be required to get a licence and sercurity check if they are going door to door and required to show it on demand while engaged in the door to door work.. after all it is a perfect stranger for the most part who could be an imposter or maybe even a violent criminal or rapist.

  no one convicted of sexual molestation or violent crimes should be given a permit.

  an added benifit would be less people knocking on your door trying to sell you something be it a vaacum cleaner or armegeddon life insurance protection.. what is your opinon?.

  This will be a hard thing to enforce. In our community, a person who is found guilty in the courts usually gets the option to choose a comunity service, i.e. canvasing fot the blind, or some other Charity. You just know that the person knocking on your door, is somehow trying to avoid a harder judgement. It also makes us judge the person. I can see this as a hindrance to that rule, but I would like to see some ID

  I just want a divorce!

  by bornfree123 in

  2. relationships

  hi there, this is my first post, but i've been buzzing around this site for years.. i got married at 18, hubby was 20, i was a regular pioneer and we were talking about serving in bethel.

  fast forward - i left in 2004 after a 5 year battle with my conscience, family and friends who kept insisting that i was just "weak and needed to have another bible study".

  however hubby and i stayed together although it was kinda on the understanding that we would just not talk about it.

  Hi, and welcome

  I understand why you have this question. because exiting a marriage is not covered in the WT CD Rom, or, at Pioneer school. It's crazy that your mate can physically beat you, abuse you, but, you are are bound to him despite living far away from one another. When Jesus gave the command allowing divorce he was talking to Israelite men who had the advantage of divorcing their spouses for any reason. That is the context that gets missunderstood by the WT society. Thank goodness, the law is open minded on this. I agree with what the other posters are saying, you need a Lawyer. You don't need your mates approval, he walked out.

  All the best, and it's your God given right to move-on.

  how does this work out?

  does the christian wife now go along to show respect to her husband, in celebrating holidays, voting, where does she draw the line?.

  His name was The Walrus. He was a Fool on the Hill, and he usually hung out in Strawberry Fields. Yesterday, he spent the whole evening with Penny Lane, and last week he was dating Eleanor Rigby. The congregation commitee told him to Get Back, to where you once belong. But he just replied, Naw, Naw, Naw, Na, Na, Na. He started misquoting the book of Hey Jude, and said we wanted a Revolution. But, he was was always trying to build up material for his new book, because he was a Paperback Writer.
