FS, I call him ASS without the mister. You shouldda heard what I called him yesterday!!! (I ran outta my hormones) I must admit Ass's church sounds great. Church isn't FOR God .It's obviously for PEOPLE who get a feeling of security in a scary world. The 70's TV star, Flip Wilson did skits on his show as a Preacher of "THE CHURCH OF WHAT's HAPPENING NOW". At the time I thought they were hilarious. NOW, I'd like to join that church!!

Recent C.O. visit: Bad news re: U.S. English meeting attendance
by Open mind invisiting a nearby town during his thursday night service talk mentioned how poor meeting attendance is in the english-speaking u.s. congregations.
he said that when the gb reduced the weekly meetings from 3 to 2, there was a brief surge in meeting attendance percentages.
after a few months it began to slide and it hasn't stopped sliding.

smart kid
by Aussie Oz ini found out the other day that my daughter began to question the existance of god, decided that the issue of universal soveriegnty is nonsense and that praying is useless....at 10!.
so glad i didnt know!
because back then i was still an apologist and would have been bothered that she was leaning away from the jw teachings.

Ossie. Nrver say never. Even if your son gets baptized. My daughter was baptized at 19 and was a true believer. She was living on her own at the time. . After less than 3 yrs in the Borg she could see the hypocracy. She then reasearched on her own and faded. She didn't tell me for a long time because she didn't want to hurt me. She didn't know I had stopped attending myself! So what I'm trying to say is young ones go through many changes. Never discount the influence you have with your son and possibly soon your daughter will have. I saw this with my kids.

Being on this forum is helping me to deal with a lot of my anger over loosing nearly 60 yrs. Reading others experiences makes me realize I didn't have it as bad as some. I am feeling a connection with people I seldom felt a the KH. Humour is also a great release and there is plenty of it here!

MM, Zid, JWGB, Violia, DaCheech, Om, Thanks for the recognition of the effort it takes for moms to drag themselves and their families to meetings. My schedule did not even account for the nights I had a talk or demo. It didn't address what happens when you have babies which is:
Everything I previously mentioned, PLUS: 7:00pm: Go back in house to change. Baby barfed on my blouse. OR Baby pooped start over. OR Toddler ran out of the house, fell down and skinned knee/or ripped pants. Start over.
7:15pm: leave for the KH
7:30pm: Arrive during the song, get dirty looks from "mature " sisters, look for seats. None in back. Sit near the front. Baby starts crying, Walk to the back, join the sisters who are already breastfeeding and talk about teething and rashes.
8:00pm: Missed half the Minestry school
8:45pm: Toddler has to pee. Wants drink.
9:00pm: Return to seat wondering how long till it's over.
9:30pm: Try to sing an unsingable song. During bro. windbags prayer-baby starts squalling. Try to quiet baby walk to back
Thank God you made through another one!
