It sounds like, when your family was going through hard times as JWs, you took a lot of your screen name.
Have you (or badwillie or RubyT) found that the congregation was more readily to help or assist new ones or transplants more than they would the long-time congregation members?

Your situation sounded pretty bad. Sorry you had to deal with those things. You make some nice points: 1) The only assistance your family received was to get you all to go out door-to-door and the meetings more frequently and 2) One source of your help was from a non-JW and he never asked for anything in return. The only way you MIGHT get help from a JW is if you are living up to THEIR requirements. And even then you're not guaranteed to receive any assistance!
Why couldn't someone from her congregation give her some chairs to sit on? Instead, her family had to use platic chairs with electrical tape holding it together.

It's starts at 6:30. Bring a chair. There is plenty of food vendors around. Bring $'s. Bring some liquor, if desirable.
JR Brown won't be in attendance. However, Terri Webb (a DJ from 106.1 WJJZ) is a JW and she sometimes hosts the show. Maybe we can anti-Witness to her.

You all wanna be real bold? Let's go to Penn's Landing for the free Jazz concert. August 16th. 2002. It'll be REAL bold for me since I am still "active". However, I'm ever so close at making my exit. Is everyone else game with this? I'll post the Jazz performers for the 16th.

Man's buttocks cut off in attack From correspondents in Birmingham, AlabamaA WOMAN enraged at her boyfriend attacked him with a knife and cut off nearly all of his buttocks, before leaving him near death on a dark, rural road in America's deep south, authorities have claimed. The injuries were so severe investigators in Alabama initially believed the victim was sexually tortured and dragged behind a car in a possible hate crime, a US prosecutor said today.
"This ain't right," Kimberly King, 26, of Aliceville, told a TV news crew as she was arrested and jailed without bail.
Her boyfriend, Rodney Outlaw, 25, has not fully described what happened to police.
But they said they believed King was responsible and acted alone. She has been charged with attempted murder.
"The gruesome nature of the injuries is almost mind-boggling," said District Attorney Chris McCool.
"With the trauma of the attack, how do you talk about that?"
He alleged that King and her boyfriend had been at a bar in Mississippi late on Saturday or early on Sunday, but left separately after an argument.
Police said she pulled up behind Outlaw's vehicle on an isolated highway near Aliceville, Alabama, and began stabbing him with a large knife.
When he fell, "she got down on him and just started cutting," McCool claimed.
Outlaw regained consciousness some time later. He drove about 15 kilometres to the nearest home and today was still in hospital.
Aliceville is about 130 kilometres south-west of Birmingham, Alabama.
