  by JH in

  .

  if it was possible, would you like to know your future, every good thing and bad thing that will happen to you?

  would you be too afraid to go and look what your future would be like?

  OMG I sure do remember those god awful D.C. The last one I ever attened, my son was about 18 months old and I was expecting the second on the way. That was 5 years ago. I don't remember if the food serving was still going on or not. It's all becomming one big blur to me now. I do remember that it really SUCKED big time. I was hot and misserable and so was my child. And don't forget the swelled feet.

  I have known several really bad cases involving men of position. But what really topped the list was one that my husband told me about.

  There were two brothers, not sure if they were an elder, MS, or just a reg. publishers. My husband never did tell me their names.

  One of the brothers owned a red sports car. He was driving down the road when he saw another JW walking down the road. He picked him up. Then in return the JW he picked up turned around and killed him. Dumped the body and stole his car. Yes, he did go to prision.

  I'd probley be a widow. Hubby told me that he was planning on sucide, after we left the JWs. They were making him feel very bad, and awful. What was his crimes you are asking? Earning a good living for himself and his family. He works the late shift at his job, good pay and good benifits.

  "Special Meeting" 4/27/03 ???

  my friend who is a jw happened to mention to me last night that there is a "special meeting" today, sunday 4/27/03.

  i know the jw do things in a lock-step, uniform way so i wondered if this is an organization-wide special meeting or could it just be a local one?

  is a local meeting that isn't in accordance with country- or world-wide uniformity allowed?
