Not sure it will be 'fun' but I get your point. Recently was accused of being taken over by Satan and his demons. The biggest problem for me is that she doesn't seem to be able to enjoy the moment, as in now. Why bother after all when it will be so much better in the future.... The negative attitude is a real turn off.

Is it possible with your education and work experience to get a job transfer or just relocate and then just disappear?

He probably got disfellowshipped again for that. Can you get a double portion of disfellowshipping? Not sequentially but additively?

That was great. I'm really surprised he got that far. I'm sure other elders who had delivered that talk realized immediately he had gone 'off reservation' and started circling the wagons. It is funny that the best talk the congregation had probably heard in many years came from an apostate. At least he was polite...

Words for the Day; please share
by compound complex ingreetings, word lovers:.
in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.
one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.

priapism
I remember being at a dinner party long ago, and I happened to notice on the fridge, there were hundreds of small magnets, each with a single word, stuck on the front door. The 'brother' was very proud of his effort to educate his children, all girls, at every possible occasion. One of the words, caught my eye (see above). I asked him if he knew what it meant. He disappeared for a minute and when he came back, it got removed from the fridge.

Very interesting. I read something about this recently. It seems the big advantage is the extra size. Wolves, avoid humans and urban environments, but coyotes not so much. The additional dog mix should only help in urban settings. Keep an extra eye on Fifi when you let her out at night....

Memorial
by Gorbatchov inwhat i noticed during the memorial is the over organised ritual aspect.
for a non jw is must be hard to follow.. for me, i noticed that during the memorial there is no attention for the historical jesus and the historical events.
it's all about the kingdom arrangement with it's central point, the governing body of jw.. do you noticed this also?.

I always dislked this event. It just came across as you mentioned as a ritual. If I was ever going to invite someone to a meeting, the memorial would definetly NOT be it.

The GB wants us to read this bible passage to you!
by StephaneLaliberte ini had a brother visit me yesterday to invite me to the memorial.
as usual, despite the unspoken passive aggressiveness, i was polite,.
anyway, this year, he started his presentation by saying: "the governing body (gb) wants us to read this bible passage to you!

Was the GB thing part of their standard presentation or reserved for inactive ones?
