Tech49 has the CO over for lunch

by Tech49 in

so awhile back, during our last circuit overseer visit, vic and i decided to bite the bullet.... there seemed to be very little support for the mid-week lunch plans for the co and his wife, so we signed up to host.

we definitely didnt want it to be awkward, so we invited a few others along, as a nice little group affair.

they were excited, and offered to do the cooking, so i said i would play along.. just some background.... this particular co is kind of a tool (big surprise right?

He's going to be in for a nasty surprise when he finds out there is no social security if you didn't pay in for at least 10 years...

Need Advice "How To Shame A Jehovah Witnesses Elderettee and CBOE", What to say to Friends?

by RottenRiley in

.

hi, my mom is dying of cancer and my jw brother and sister refuse to take her to chemotherapy, i thought of providing this information on their business website to debunk the claim they are "a loving family constuction company".

my next door neighbors keep asking me why i am the only one taking her to radiation and chemotherapy, should i tell them my brother and sister are the biggest pieces of shit in san luis obispo county and they hate me because i got rid of two pedophile elders by threatening the watchtower society?.

I see no reason to sugar coat the truth when people ask a direct question. There's no need to cover over their lack of decency, but it's best to remain matter-of-fact and calm when you answer

If You Got a Call or Visit From The Elders How Would You Deal With Them?

just curious..

at this point it is unlikely that I would answer the phone if I recognized the number. If someone dropped by unannounced, I'd probably be polite and ask what they needed, but I wouldn't invite them inside. I doubt they'll come calling though. We've been pretty public with our holiday celebrating, Boy Scout leading new lifestyle.

and it was good!!

everyone dressed differently, some casually, some smart-a real mix.i would say there were 70 or so in attendance, all ages.nice atmosphere.ladies behind introduced themselves.young couple in front also.nice songs.toys for the kids.refreshments after.had a little chat with the lady vicar, she asked if i would come again.i felt welcome but not overwhelmed.jesus focused more predominantly than at the kh.i really enjoyed it..

We went to church this morning. The local Presbyterian church allows the Boy SCouts to meet in the basement and they had a special "Scout Sunday" service today. It was the standard Protestant Midwestern small town service. Despite never having attended a Presbyterian service before, I knew most of the songs. It is a beautiful building, but the congregation is dwindling - the bulletin says last week only 25 attended the main service and only 4 attended Sunday school. There were only 3 members in the choir. The building could easily accomodate a much larger crowd.

i am doing one of my dreams for a while: growing a beard.

it may not seem like much, but it's quite the experience for me.

it's probably a rite of passage from jw to exjw lol.. besides the itchyness, i hate it that it curls so much (i have hairs that naturally start to curl after a certain length).. anyone here have tips on taking care of a beard?

finally awake

COnditioner after you wash it, and give it some time. Just Ron's beard is really soft now - he's starting to look like Santa Claus LOL

by Angus Beef in

venting.... hubby visited with sil (with gotee intact), got the wt don't approve speech and the 'we've been missing you at the meetings".. he gave all the excuses he could for why we weren't there.

i'm at the point of just telling them the truth as why... but we will be giving up our grandchildren.

i just don't know if i can do it, give up the grandkids.

I need a picture of this evil dress!

Can Elders Gauge If A Pedophile Has Repented? CBOE Tells me Yes!

by RottenRiley in

a few years ago i had a talk with a cobe of the local kingdom hall, he said the elders could tell if a child-sex offender like fredick cecil maclean fbi list(hidding in oak ridge, oregon) would strike again.

i wish i had this on tape for candance contii's legal team because he reflects many of the cowards i served on with the body of elders.

there was a pedophile elder who bullied the other elders in to covering over his sins because the elders were either too old or his buddies he showered with gifts.

finally awake

I am sure that some pedophiles feel genuine regret. However, they are unable to change their basic nature. Lions DON'T eat grass, and pedophiles DON'T stop wanting to molest children.
