i know this is here somewhere but can't find it in 4000 pages of threads (no duh really) anyway my wife has made me promise not to go sunday... .
what i want is a scan or quote from the elders manual (shoveling the shit to the flock or whatever it's called) that says that someone who's not claiming to be a witness and doesn't recognize the elders authority should be left alone... i know it won't matter but i would really like to at least send something!
i'm going to give it to my mom to take to txx (elder) but she's going to be here at 3:30!!!!!
Mark,
I think that JW policy has been changed over the years....you know ...new light an all that...
Metatron,
depression is your problem and don't return their calls.
That's exactly what we told them...that I was really depressed and wanted to be left alone....problem was... I really couldn’t hide my joy at being free!! LOL

merry christmas & a happy new year to everyone on jwd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ian, claire, karl & dominic

Ozzie,
Perth often gets some scorchers - it's in a cool spell at the moment.
I would gladly settle for a 'cool spell!....those temperatures look sooo good to me!
I spoke with my sister the other day...she was supposed to come back to the UK in November, but chose to stay over there we will miss her on Xmas day :(
Ever time I speak with my 'little sis' she seems so relaxed and happy, which make us really pleased that she is there i guess. One has to bear in mind though that her partner is a one very chilled out KIWI. He's gorgeous!!

Glad that she seems OK
once, discussing the recently passed circuit assembly.
he had interviewed a young pioneer that was able to pioneer without a car.
she "arranged her schedule" (translation: bummed rides well in advance) to make sure she had a way to and from the hall.
Confession...very funny! LOL
I remember one single mother explaining the ultra spiritual schedule she had going for her young family. She told how each day they would do everything possible regarding F.Service/ personal study/family study …you name it they did it. It was a most unrealistic schedule for most families where the parents had to work. (sigh)
The one thing she omitted to state was that her kids were all HOME EDUCATED, and anyone can guess that, yes….the bible bashing the kids got was all incorporated within the home education. Time was not really a problem.
I always wondered how she could go on the platform and not mention the home education bit. The item would of left many families feeling inadequate.

just want to know if it is normal practice for the elder giving your wedding talk to ask you and your partner if youve had sex, about 1 week before youre due to get married?.
happened to us, and we were f'in shocked!.
riko,
Hm we were asked that and several other humiliating questions... regarding pleasuring each other with hands or mouth!
I'm sorry, but that elder must of got some sort of pleasure from asking you such a question....either that or he was just a silly clone adherring strictly to the elders manual!!
What a pratt!

Yep...that happened to us!
I was shocked too as the elder giving my talk was a close family friend who i'd know best part of my life. He asked us in a jokey way 'Had we hxd it oxx yet?' LOL
We were told later that they have to ask this as if you say yes - the rules won't allow
