  Excuses to miss the meeting that won't raise suspicion of a fade

  by kairos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the first step to fading is to begin missing the meetings.. "if" anyone misses you, a quality excuse must be at the ready.

  this will produce empathy toward you as opposed to suspicion.. 1. car problems ( don't mention that you caused them ).

  2. stuck on the phone resolving insurance, billing, etc issues.. 3. sick ( of the meetings ).

  My kids are too young right now. 4 & 6. 

  Me and the wife have already agreed that they're not getting baptized until they're 18 and free agents.

  Whether I believe the blood doctrine or not, I'm never donating blood. 

  I have a severe phobia of needles. Like really bad. I passed out the last time I had a test.

  Relief Efforts for Typhoon in Manila (Philippines)

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  i find articles like this (click very frustrating to read.

  when i read reports on how charity was delivered, i am expecting to read numbers that will give me an idea of how money was used for such relief.

  unfortunately, the information provided is simply not enough to provide any ball park idea of what was actually spent.

  I can confirm StarTrekAngel's assessment. 

  I was in the same area at the time, and our congregation received the same letter.

  Later, where I currently live, the same letter came during Katrina and then later, Ike.

  i don't typically hear from my mom often, but i tell you, over the past couple of weeks, i have heard from her several times.

  you heard the comment about "our way of worship will be altered" and thank you for your posts by the way....but yesterday, she calls and is asking about the kids and then, in typical jw fashion mind you, says:.

  "you know, you should really get back to meetings.

  I tried calling the Pope. Didn't get through. I guess Catholics are a cult now. :P

  I kid! I kid! 

  
  

  I will say, though, that as a Bethelite, though you'd probably have an issue getting a call through to a GB member at work, you would be able to ring their room.

  My roommate and I wondered if we could, so we concocted a scheme to see if the number listed in the Bethel Family Phone Book would really ring through to the GB members. So we decided to invite Sydlik over for dinner. He answered the phone! And he accepted our invitation! It was quite a surprise.

  It goes to show the the effects of this cult. I know lots of alcoholics that are still in.    

  I might be an alcoholic. I don't know. 

  One thing I do know is that I'm definitely abusing it from time to time.

  I actually drank a helluva lot more before I woke up to TTATT. I was drinking from Noon til bedtime. I'd drink at work, even.

  Now, I just drink a lot on meeting days. I really only drink drink two days a week. 

  I will have a beer or two with dinner, occasionally, though, but never get a buzz unless it's meeting day.
