  Did You Go To Meetings in Very Inclement Weather?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  living in new england means having lots of snow and cold.

  elders were very reluctant to cancel or reschedule a meeting due to the weather.

  i lived 3 towns away from the kingdom hall and if it was icy and treacherous my vote would always be to cancel the meeting....and forget about rescheduling!.

  My old hall almost never cancelled meetings. On the very rare occasion they called it off, they would reschedule for another night and then get mad at you if you had a part and couldn't show due to working.

  I remember after the hurricane hit in Louisiana we had an assembly part where the co or do said "if the government issues a weather related warning, we need to listen and follow their instructions, not risking our lives by ignoring it". Very next winter we hit a bad snow storm coming in. National weather service issued a warning, stay off the roads unless emergency. Meeting wasn't cancelled because it means our life to gather together to worship. I didn't go that night

  Do they officially give marking talks without telling the one marked?

  my pimi (physically in, mentally in) friend believes she was marked without them telling her.

  i believe her, and she has been making work for the elders.

  she is a pain in their arse, and they are a pain in hers, which is great.

  You commit a sin. Confess to elders. Repent. Receive private reproof. Next meeting they have a marking talk for you.

  If you're repentant and privately reproved a marking talk doesn't seem to fit the pattern of loving shepherding.

  Yes. They definitely give marking talks without telling the one they are marking.

  An elders daughter and I got 'involved'. - we were both in our 20's. Marking talks at multiple halls in the area. A friend from a hall that had her meeting on Tuesday called me and said 'omg, you'll never believe what the local needs was.... And proceeded to describe my relationship with the elders daughter. No one knew we were dating.l

  had a couple of witnesses stop by yesterday to say the usual "we miss you, missed you at the meeting, just checking in on you, etc.

  " i've always liked this guy so we spoke for a few minutes.

  my wife said that they could count their time since i am inactive.

  Typical FS day in my old hall

  Leave kh parking lot.

  Hit one house at random as close to the kh as possible because "thats how the holy spirit directs us". Start time.

  Pioneer sister #1 - " I need to stop by the bank to get quarters for the laundry mat because they are always out. It will only take a second"

  Stop by bank. Van load of 6 wait in parking lot 15 minutes.

  Leave bank.

  Pioneer MS bro says "i need to swing by the Post Office to mail a couple things. Its all kh stuff and i cant use my personal stamps at home for kh stuff. It will only take a minute."

  Stop by post office. Van load of 6 wait 20 minutes. MS apologized about the line.

  Elder pioneer driving says he forgot a book for the meeting tonight he needs to look over. We'll just swing by his house on the way to the territory.

  30 minute drive to the country territory.

  5 out out the 7 are able to take one door before pioneer sister #2 says she needs to go to the bathroom.

  20 minute drive to nearest store with a nice enough toilet to pee in.

  40 minute drive back towards the kh.

  Everyone gets one door at a random stop on a street in town, because thats how the angles direct our work.

  Morning done.

  Cant count how many times i used to go in service and only knock on 1 door in 3 hours. Used to piss me off. Should have counted the blessings

  If we just suddenly start talking to DFed people again and use the Canada court video as our argument, what would happen?

  the jw lawyer clearly stated that disfellowshipping only applies to spiritual association, but everyday family contact is ok..

  I have heard that same line before. Sister screws anyone with a penis. They all get df. She gets reinstated each time. Elders say God was using her to clean out the org. Wtf

  Which Things Did Your Overzealous Parents Ban?

  by pale.emperor in

  2. experiences

  we all know the gb like to impose rules upon the rules... but did anyone else out there have parents that implemented rules upon those rules?

  mine did.

  my mum tended to copy whatever the elders wives were doing and took it to the extreme.

  Never understood why I couldn't get involved in school sports because it would mean association with worldly kids. But I could do the science Olympiad which involved association with worldly kids. I guess sports were mentioned at meetings but 'science Olympiad' wasn't

  Agree with so many of the comments.

  I just left, one meeting there, the next not. No conversations about doubts.

  Now if i see any of the jws in the small town i live they treat me like Im df'd or have a contagious disease or something. Over the past few months i have seen 2 different sisters at the grocery store and the post office. I smiled and said hi as i passed. Each one physically turned their head away as if they didnt see me.

  It may be hard at first, or hurt. But its great now, i know who my real friends are.
