  The elders of the 1980s are now in their 60s and 70s

  having just come back from the uk and spoke with some witnesses to find out how my old congregation is doing, i realized i am now the age that my elders were when i was a kid.

  and i wonder what the elders who are now in their 60s and 70s are thinking when they look in the mirror and an old face looks back at them.

  many of the elders in my old hall are now retired.

  They are so ingrained in this cult they don't know where else to go. They do not have "worldly jobs, worldly friends, etc." If they left today they would have NOTHING.

  ^^This is what I've said about my mum.

  However she just took early retirement at 63, sold up her house near London and bought a cottage in North Wales. Not married, up in the middle of nowhere, doesn't drive. I'm being shunned so I have no real answer as to why she moved.

  It strikes me as strange though because 20 years ago when I left nearly all her JW friends would have been down south. I do wonder why she moved. She rang my wife the other night. Despite shunning me she tries to keep in contact. Wife put her on speaker so I could hear her (she didn't know I could hear her). She sounded happy. Happiest I have heard her in a long time and yet she just moved away from all her friends. I'm puzzled.

  Hello Mrs Eden.

  I'll tell Mr Eden to give you a big squishy hug from me but that might be too familiar so he can gently pat your arm instead. :D

  The elderly sisters are at it again.

  2. experiences

  awhile back, about a year and a half ago, when i was starting to wake up, i explained to my mom that when the circuit overseer is in town, they schedule shepherding calls after lunch, not because they care, but because they dont want to work door to door in the hot summer or cold winter.

  and they know that a prepared call means some nice hot chocolate and cookies or some ice cold tea and snacks.

  i remember her looking at me kind of funny so i ended the conversation and left it at that, and never brought it up again.

  A story that made me smile this evening.

  Way to go. I'm glad these elderly ladies stuck up for themselves.

  i don't know if they're making similar arrangements in other parts of the world but below you will find the letter (and the translation attempt) they're sending to all the congregations in mexico and central america asking them to modify their september 21 and september 28 service meeting programs.. after watching jackson's gold apple watch and lett's pinky ring one can only assume they are a bunch of brazen, shameless and greedy bastards!.

  the letter has already been uploaded at the spanish forum and you can find it if you click here or see the attached picture.. the translation "attempt" is as follows:.

  august 1, 2015. to all congregations.

  THE UNITED NATIONS WILL SHORTLY ANNOUNCE GLOBAL PEACE AND SECURITY

  Brilliant. Everyone will believe that when they announce it what with wars here, there and everywhere. Impeccable timing from good old UN

  THIS WILL RESULT IN THE ATTACK ON THE TRUE RELIGION [ JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ] LEAD BY POPE FRANCIS AND INTERN WILL BRING ARMAGEDDON / PARADISE.

  Now do we know which intern Pope Francis is going to use? I think we can head them off at the pass and thus save ourselves from the GT (Not to be confused with G&T) for another while yet.

  (What took you so long getting here? )

  thanks for the welcome Vidiot, I got settled on another forum and FB and kind of let this one pass me by. Always had thought I should join at some time or another.

  Probably one of the few religions that people feel they have to move to ANOTHER COUNTRY to get out of it!

  It's crazy really when you think about it isn't it.

  Welcome shane, love your name.

  Thanks Faye. My Mum had a thing for Alan Ladd the actor in the movie of the same name. Needless to say it was before she converted as a witness because well watching Westerns and naming characters after movie heart throbs just wouldn't be acceptable.
