I've only been posting a short while, but lurking a lot longer. I take it you still go to the KH? May I also assume you do it for family?
I guess I want to know, how do you stand it? I mean, listening to that stuff... going to the hall... do you go out in service?
Not that I don't appreciate hearing stuff from the "inside," I DO! I just wondered, hope you don't mind my asking. If you do, just tell me to mind my own dang bidness!

a friend of mine called me today to tell me that the elders want to meet with her regarding something that happen in feb. she was seen smoking at a bar by two other witnesses.
she was privately reproved about a year ago for some "misconduct with a guy".
but since then hasnt gone to the meeting.
Meet with them and tell the elders how sorry you are and ask forgivness, then as you leave just ask if anybody has a light.
I got busted for smoking once too. Tears and "I'll never do it again" worked like a charm. That was when I had family I was *scared* of, e.g. MOTHER=GOD. Now? I'd tell them to piss off, but that's easy for ME to say now, I have no family left.
i have believed that the great tribulation begins with some sort of nuclear attack on the united states.. events are emerging which increase the probability of such an event.. the archrivals at the end scene are the us and russia.
russia is in a dire state.
its economy hangs by a thread.
The year in case you forgot is 1 Post 9-11
Hey! Who declared this new calendar? Sheesh, first we had B.C., then A.D., then the new millenium, now we're counting Year 1 from 9/11?
Speaking as a native NEW YORKER, I'm sorry to have to be the one to break this to you, but if they nuke NY there goes Bethel and the precious GB. There goes the U.N. There goes poor me, PurpleV.
I SAW the World Trade Center burning. I SMELLED the destruction. I LOST a cousin, a brave firefighter who saved many other lives.
This wasn't biblical. This was FANATACISM to the max, by rabid Al Quaeda members intent on destroying the U.S. and Israel. They were never mentioned in any of the WT "prophesies" as being the perpetrators of "the beginning of the end."
If they destroy the U.N. with a nuke strike on NYC, then all of the WT "prophesies" go bye-bye.
Not for nothing, but I'm not fleeing to South America. I only speak a *teense* of Spanish. Who would feed my cats if I left?
If they 'do' New York, everyone else is not far behind. The whole world will self-destruct. There won't be a JW or anyone else left.
I'd rather go first so I don't have to witness the rest of it.

we were helped to appreciate the wonderful blessings from auxiliary pioneering.we may not be able to get to visit the householders, especially when it's pouring rain or snowing, but at least we can warm up in the car and enjoy upbuilding association in the car with the heater on.........that's it in a nutshell.
what do you think??
?
LOL Grits!
PurpleV, LOL! Set up returns visits for when you knew they would not be home. Who woulda thought?
Yup, and leave a couple of old mags at the door and not only count the time but placements go up!! Ranks right up there with pretending to depress the doorbell!
My mom's got me beat, though. She counted the time she studied with ME as a child before I was dunked!!

What worked well for me was to ask people who agreed to a "return visit" what time was NOT convenient for me to come back, then bunch 'em all together and toodle around in the car for a couple of hours calling on people who I knew would not be home LOL

i'd like to inject a note of sanity into this wasp's nest of disgusting apostate vermin.
between all the bickering and backbiting, you have, as the scriptures foretold, not noticed that the day is upon you.
already it is the auspicious month of october.
