N-kikl. Are you reading anything that anyone is saying this thread?
Why don't you just ask the elders in your hall about this stuff? They are the ones that are going to be judging you (reading your hart LOL) in the long run, not us.
BTW: welcome to the board. stick around awhile and learn some stuff about the truth.
i was in the quick check at the grocery store today and 3 teenage witness girls in service dress came behind me in line.
i asked them, " are you ladies dressed up for a graduation or something ?
" they replied, " no, we're in our door to door ministry.
Is it not funny how you can spot a JW a mile away?
"Elders receive 0 training in anything - it's all off the cuff. There is an elder's manual that provides general guidelines but is quite impractical (not that that prevents certain anal-retentive types from memorizing whole chapters of it). The "training" received at all those meetings with the CO, and those "special" 2-day elder schools? Somebody on a platform reading out loud from the book, 0 opportunity for discussion, 0 opportunity to ask questions.
Sir82 - 15 years experience as an elder."
Ok I was trying to point this out.
^^^^ What he said^^^^
mine was "prima 4-year-old".
kinda sick isn't it?.
Sometimes I can't read them.
this guy was a pretty good friend when i was a jovie.
haven't talked to him for years, and find this in the obits in the paper.
he was a great guy.
Bump to the top!

"All my experiences with Loren were good. Nice guy! If he's still a Witness, he just might not like me now."
He is one of the best people in the world. He is still a JW, but he's the type of guy that would give you some respect. He talks to me all the time and he knows how I feel about the truth. We just don't talk about it any more. You know how it is. His whole life has been wraped up in it.
In fact I'm sure he knows deep down inside the truth about the matter. I'm vary lucky that my whole fam still love me and talk to me quite often.
BTW: It really just knocked my socks off reading the board last night and see my dads name in a post.
hey look, it's a new jw memoir... and this one is funny!.

Nice bump. Looks like a good read!

Yes he is still alive and doing really well, in fact I was just up at the farm and saw him yesterday. His sister June just passed on in Jan. I'm quite lucky that I never got baptised so I am quite close to my famley.
I'm going to see him again this week and will ask him about that weekend if you don't mind?
