  the memorial last thursday night was, to my recollection, the shortest i've ever attended.

  thirty-five minutes.

  it was truly a cliff notes version.

  Special talk

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  because gorby has attended the memorial, he and his wife decide that one meeting a week was more then enough.. the rest of the family has attended the meeting this morning, including the special statement about the use of internet for marketing reasons instead of the magazines.. later on the day, we visited the family for a good cup of coffee.

  nobody told us about the special statement!

  and nobody asked us why we did not attend the special talk this day.. .

  I Was Offered A Bible Study By The Elders

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  2 elders, the cobe and his sidekick, a former bethelite and a young ms (elder in waiting) stopped by my mom's home while i was visiting with her.

  they were very congenial and eventually asked me if i got invited to the memorial and whether they could arrange a future visit with me and a possible study.

  i thanked them and told them i appreciated their invitation but that i was going to "pass at this time" but thanked them for their concern.. they recited a "wonderful experience" about a young man that was raised in the "truth" but wanted out so he decided to go to asia where he could not be found by witnesses.

  since most of us believed it was right around the corner, how many of you went to any secondary schools or training?

  Prayers at mealtime!!?

  by Frog in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  who still find it strange years on to dive straight into your mail meal without 'giving thanks'?

  i say main meal, because dad's prayers were always considerably lengthy before a main meal, and are an institution in every jw household.

  even now after a few years i'm just about ready to tuck in when i find myself saying a simple thanks under my breath.
