Memorial
by TOTH in
1. jw
2. friends
the memorial is back and i know i am going to be harassed into taking my father in law to it.

i refused last year and i have every intention of not going this year too.

it is just so frustrating to me that he has a pioneer for a supposed wife who can take all the other sisters to doctor appointments and shopping and gets high praise for this by the congregation even as she neglects her sick husband.

Things you did to pass the time at meetings/service/assemblies/conventions/memorials
by OneDayillBeFree in
1. jw
2. experiences
i'm currently at the meeting again... i'm always in the back working the sound cause everyone else can't seem to work it and i'm mostly on my phone reading jwn or writing, or doodling or sometimes i just stare at the audience to see who's falling asleep or daydreaming.

its really the only way i can still sit through these things.. but i remember getting the number of a girl i used to like at one district convention and we would text each other during the program and talk about how boring it was.. i also remember sneaking out of a circuit assembly and going to see a car show that was going on right next door.

that was fun!.

How Did You View The Elders?
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
i know some who truly believed they were "gifts in men".

they needed their approval and wanted to be well spoken of by them.. i know some who can't stand elders and regard them as pests, always looking for some dirt on somebody.. i know some who liked maybe one or two but regarded the majority as unqualified.. how did you view the elders??

How many times can you be rejected for reinstatement ??
by Pitchess Co-Gen in
1. jw
2. experiences
ok lets say you get disfellowshipped and because of a disagreement with your "home elders"; you move to another congregation ( i already know about the "rule" where your publisher card stays with you old congregation ).

now lets say you want to come back, but your old congregation keeps rejecting you request for reinstatement ( 3 or more times ).

is there a rule that says that after the fourth rejection the decision to reinstate goes to the new congregation ?
