Saying Things That You KNOW Will Get People Going
by minimus inare there certain things that you just know will get some people riled, rattled or unnerved?
on this board, i think if i wanted to tease, let's say, simon, i could suggest that he thinks he's an elder and that's why he's such a control-freak.

What is Christmas to an Ex-JW?
by Amazing inwhat is christmas to you?
if you were raised a jw, as my children were, getting used to christmas takes time, and does not carry with it any memories.
for others who became jws later in life, it took time to get over christmas and learn to discredit the custom and lose feelings for it, and in some cases even learn to hate christmas as an evil pagan evoluton of apostate christianity.. .

Ponderings on the 'refreshing highlight' of tonight's meeting
by Mysterious inthe refreshing highlight in their opinion that "[jehovah's witnesses] are free from the snare of the pagan traditions of today's holidays".
the talk was of course about christmas.
i find it amusing how many times they mention pagans or paganism at the meetings, considering neither word is found in the nwt.

Let's See now........
Monday night: Prepare for the Tuesday night book study I will conduct.
Tuesday night: Drive over to an almost inactive Brother's house to conduct the book study. Prepared questions for the children ahead of time. The answer was always 'God's Organization'!
Wednesday night: Prepare for the Theocratic Misery School which I will conduct. Also, prepare a talk or two for the Brother's who called in sick this week. Prepare a Service Meeting Part (Giving someone Hell for not doing enough)
Thursday night: Two plus hours of bad songs and talks. Getting tired as the week progresses more. After the meeting, have another meeting with a sister in the library. She was doing what??????
Friday night: Quick buy some groceries but get done as soon as possible as we have a committee meeting at 7:30 that evening. She did what??????? Try to get to bed as early as possible, Saturday morning Field Service you know, want to be as fresh as possible to conduct the field service text etc.
Saturday: Hit the doors a little (Had to hire someone else to mow my lawn). Arrange for a pre-Watchtower study at another brother's house in the evening. Hummmm, might get some popcorn and sing a few Kingdom songs. What fun!
Sunday: Get up early for the Public Talk which I get to give, and then the Watchtower Study. Bring a sandwich to the Hall so I can get right out in the afternoon field service. To Hell with the football game. Conduct the family study Sunday night.
Man, I miss the good old days!

Cancelling The Meeting
by minimus inone of the strangest things that i've seen with the "sheep" is how they would not do anything unless they heard from their elders.
especially was this so, during inclement weather.
if we were in the middle of a blizzard, we could not call off the meeting unless we heard it was confirmed by the presiding overseer, usually after he "discussed" it with some elders.

I don't know about the Elders in your congregation, but I was an Elder for many years in ours, and we were the first to cancel the meetings, even praying for bad weather! Probably because we were overworked and very tired. Nobody in the congrgation ever complained either.
One time I wanted to cancel the meeting because the furnace was not working. They decided to have it anyway because it was summer. Bummer!
