After my wife (now ex) was found guilty of domestic violence against me in the local court the CO told me "you are just being like Adam and blaming everything on your wife. Why are you making stuff up and lying about your wife? Why are you trying to get rid of her? Are you having an affair? " I wasn't, i was begging for help. The COBE chimed in and said I "should have turned the other cheek and let her hit me there too." And, I "was wrong for calling the police when she supposedly attacked me. The elders would have taken care of it. "

What is the most insensitive thing an Overseer or Elder has ever said and done to you?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inwhat is the most insensitive thing an overseer or elder has ever said and done to you?
i have had many insensitive things said to me by some elders, but for some reason one self-righteous elder was always on my case.
he didn't like the fact that i missed meetings, didn't like that i never went out in field service, that i didn't answer at the weekly meetings and he didn't like that i carried my books and magazines in my hands and not a service/book bag.

Have you done anything like this ?
by smiddy3 inmany,many years ago i went into a florist shop and ordered a wreath and a sympathy card to be delivered to my home .the sales lady looked at me and saw that i wasn`t very old and offered her condolences to me .. i apologised to her and said oh no ,nobody`s died ,it`s just that my wife has been going off lately about her turning fourty ,so i thought i would commiserate with her by doing this.. on the other hand when i turned fourty i went out and bought myself a pair of ice skates ..

What Fun Things Have You Been Doing While In Lock-Down?
by Simon inso we've all been locked down and there's only so much netflix / prime / disney / hbo you can watch and computer games you can play.
what has everyone been doing to pass the time?.
when you're completely stuck inside and working from home it can get a bit boring staring at the same walls all day and then in the evening as well.

June 30 2015 was my last meeting. Quit cold turkey.
1 elder stopped by as he was driving by and saw me mowing my yard about 2 years later and apologized for believing all the bs my ex wife was spewing for 14 years.
It's now 2020 and apparently the world is ending and it's the great tribulation and all the people that said they were my true friends and loved me for 30+ years haven't said a word to me since 30June2015.

How Will the Quarantined Dubbies React When the "All Clear" Sounds?
by Room 215 inseriously, i can't help wondering whether their hiatus from meetings and service will alter their post-covid-19 lifestyle once they experience the freedom of life in the absence of the hamster wheel?.

Why do Americans have to pay so much for College???
by RubaDub ini know there is a huge college/university lobby here in the us that lives off of students paying, in some cases, enormous amounts of money just to attend.. putting politics aside, if that is possible, (and i am not a bernie sanders guy by any means), but how can we pay for pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, elementary school, junior high, high school, and then throw a huge debt to someone who wants to continue learning?
can't the us (public and state universities) afford four more years for young people to get on a career path without having to, in some cases, take out a mortgage/loan more than the cost of some homes?
then, (and nothing against immigrants, i am married to one), but then the us has to "import" students from other countries to fill the needs that we should be supplying here.

My workplace (in the US) is offering a benefit - Free tuition & no cost for books for a college education at an accredited university. I am just finishing my 3rd term.
There are other options vs a large student loan debt.

My last truck had 20% tint on the back door windows and rear window. I added 20% to the front windows. Illegal in my state. In the 6 years I owned that truck I was stopped by the state police 3 times for tint. It was always the same situation. Out in the middle of nowhere, cruise set at exactly the speed limit, and no other cars around. I'm guessing they were bored. Never any ticket.
This truck came the same, 20% on back door glass and window. I put 5% over the 20% on the back doors and window and added 5% to the front doors. You pretty much can't see in. Truck is all black too. Had this truck 3.5 years so far. Haven't been stopped yet. A couple of state police parked in the middle of the highway have looked up and watched me go by, but haven't been stopped yet. I'm surprised I haven't been. But there is a sheriff in my county with a very similar truck, maybe they think it's him.
