this question is inspired by a post just written by scully.
when resolutions were passed in my hall they always needed someone to second the motion and for there to a show of hands.
of course as a show of unity everyone would always dutifully raise them and the motion would be passed unanimously.

Of course as a show of unity everyone would always dutifully raise them and the motion would be passed unanimously. I can't remember an occasion where this wasn't so. Does anyone have any experiences of dissention when a lot of people openly disagreed with motions suggested by bodies of elders?
Seconded
That is one freaky photo!!

I hope everything went okey
oops.... should start at the beginning of a story shouldn't i!
i've been lower than a serpent's belly as of late.
finances just got a whole lot worse; argued 5 times with monopolistic telephone company who took my payment (money from 'hubby') yet didn't re-connect me; went searching for my resume on hubby's computer and found child porn instead.
I am glad you reached out and found people that care afor you. Never stop doing that.
and no cheating by searching on the internet!.
a man my age is very young so i'm told.
why do i feel so old.

I know what you mean about that song - I wasn't alive in the sixties and it stirs me up too.
i've been reading and posting over at the jehovah's witnesses challenge & critique section of the mega-religion site beliefnet.
the moderator (a jw) is starting to get her undies in a bundle over some of the posts!
i think it would be cool if some others from here would go over there and rattle the cage a little.

I dropped in a watchtower qoute just to stir it up a bit.
You are doing really well in there by the way.
hello friends .
i've just been thinking about something as i drove past the kingdom hall near where i work.
it has absolutely no windows.
i've been looking for something like this for the last 7 years.
i am not a jw or an ex-jw but my wife is and so is her father and her sister.
brief history.
Nice to see you scooter
I am sure you will will meet lots of people here who will relate to your situation.
sometimes i really get sad over my situation.. even though i have never really been active in the cong.
i still grew up in a "spirituall strong" family, my sisters all pioneering, my dad is also an elder-still.
i miss my parents, they way they were.

If your parents could be objective and see the wood for the trees. If they could fully understand the reality and how they have hurt you. If they could see the big picture and not just the narrow thinking which is causing them to act as they do. If they had their full faculties like you and I do - they would be sad and sorry about how they have acted.
They love you. But something is preventing it from flowing as it should.
Sometimes it helps to think of some older wiser version of your parents in some future time, who fully understand the truth of their lives and how they have treated you badly.
You can bet these people would feel huge regret over they way they have treated you. Try to think of your parents that way.
Don't you think - if they knew the real truth of it all that they would not tell you how much they loved you and how proud they were of you.
This is your parents true nature and if the reality is different now its just the damn religion talking, nothing else.
this is my very first post.
i wonder if there is anybody out there who lives in devon, england, where we now live.
would like to here from you.. jdubhub
Hey jdubhub
