An older sister used to think the toilet bowl cleaner was eating away the porcelain in the toilet. I asked her why she thought that. She said would run her hand around the inside of the bowl to feel if she missed anything and the bowl felt rougher the the outside of the toilet

Kingdom hall cleaning
by Farmer Jim1 inwhat are your memories of hall cleaning?.
i actually enjoyed it on the whole, my dad as the elder always tried to keep it to under one hour but in my later years in a hard-line congregation it was a chore.
the po's wife had a printed list and we had to complete it all before left (or got disapproving looks if we left after an hour).. as well as vacuuming the whole building the lost said you had to dismantle the vacuum and clean and polish all the internal elements.

What's the Worst Advice You Heard of an Elder Giving Someone?
by Sea Breeze ini believe an an elder told someone who's daughter (14 yo) became sexually active with a 26 year old in the neighborhood, that maybe they should get married.
so, they did... with parental consent.
he turned out to be a ex-convict who shot his first wife in the face with a shotgun.

Wife was a violent monster. After an attack I called police. Prosecuting attorney pressed charges and convicted her of domestic violence. Elders told me I should have never involved the police and courts (I had told police I did not want charges pressed. They decided there was enough evidence to do it anyway). I was bringing reproach on Jahs name and the congregation. I should have called them instead (I had multiple times over the years and was fed up with no change). And, the next time she hits me I should turn the other cheek and let her hit that too. I must drop the PPO and let her move back in the house as I was setting her up and would be responsible for it if she cheated on me while we were separated.
Cant make this stuff up.

Hope they aren't going to meet with all the inactive ones every 6 months too. Walked out the KH doors almost 9 years ago and haven't been back. Not DF, just left and they know why. 1 visit from 1 elder driving by while I was mowing. It's been great. They're probably not, I moved over an hour away 6 years ago

I think I'm going to send him a bottle of Macallan and a thank you letter for his 2014 annual meeting speech were he blasted anyone who wasn't a MS by the time they were in their 20's. Who would want to be with a person like that. He marked me as bad association to the world and made me realize what the GB thought of me. First week of July 2015 was the last time I stepped into a KH and life has been great since. I owe him a thank you.

I received one letter in the four years I've lived in this house. Had the KH as the return address. A few clicks on Google found the senders name, address, and surprisingly public Facebook profile. I sent her letter and tract back to her, at her home address with a letter explaining why. Did not include my name or address so she had no idea of where it came from and which person/address replied. A few days after mailing the letter her FB went into lockdown with nothing showing to the public. Maybe she thought receiving a letter from a stranger at your home address was creepy.

Where does the cult fall on sexually touching each other for married couples.
by mickbobcat inso its wrong for married couples to have oral sex and anal but what about touches to arouse?
to climax i would assume it was wrong.
but what if you go too far getting ready for sex and climax, do you need to go to the cult to confess..

If I recall correctly, and it was in the old CD library if you searched. Oral and anal were not allowed and some had been DFd for it. Maybe in the 70's they backed up a bit and kinda said we don't want to know and stopped DFing for it. I seem to remember someone trying to get there df reversed because of it.

Get Vaccinated or Get laid Off
by StephaneLaliberte ini’m personally for the vaccine, took two shots and would take a third if asked.
but i know a friend of mine that doesn’t want to take the vaccine who works for the government and now is faced with this choice: get vaccinated or get laid off.
i don’t agree with this measure as it is totalitarian and runs against my core belief in individual freedom.. now, with that being said, what i don’t understand is that my friend still won’t get vaccinated.

I do like the part where he said if you want to do business with the federal government you must be vaccinated.
I guess that means all the unvaccinated don't have to pay taxes anymore because he doesn't want to do business with us. Thank you Biden.

My sister had 1 shot of the moderna and ended up in urgent care with difficulty breathing. She decided not to do the second.
My employer made flu shot mandatory for employment last year and covid vac mandatory this year. I got a Dr note from my allergy Dr last fall saying don't get flu shot. They didn't fire me. Got another Dr note that says don't get flu or covid shot. Just turned it in last week. We'll see what happens. Keeping my eye on indeed just in case.
