The do not call list
by LisaRose ini have posted before about my experience trying to get on the "do not call" list.
despite repeated requests, a phone call to the hall and mailing a letter, and then giving a copy to a jw, they just keep coming by.
i was going to put up a no soliciting sign, then i can call the police on them, but my husband doesn't want me to do it.. so, i decided if they come back i would have some fun.

Congregation rebels!
by A.proclaimer inmy congregation got a reminder today to start donating money.
elder said that after the letter on the new donation arrangement was read, the contributions for that fund went from the average (i believe it was $500 or so) to $0.
after that reminder, cash was put into those boxes.

I dunno about all catholics, but my brother's family receives envelopes preprinted with their 10% tithe for easy giving at their church....just sayin...
I wholeheartedly agree that one of the Big Brags was that jws are never asked for money (it just miraculously appears in the contrib boxes because they are shining examples of perfection). More but also some
The two other Big Brags: no child molesters and all jdubs love each other .

How do you cope with impaired mobility?
by compound complex ingreetings, my aging friends!
before asking you this question, i tried to do some research on the thought that 'hard work never killed anyone,' but, man, can it cripple you!
what i wanted to figure out is something better than you're getting older and tireder.. many of us have done hard physical labor most of our lives and see no prospect of retirement.

CoCo, I've found that removing glutens from my diet really helped with joint pain. I'm sure the type of joint pain differs from person to person, though, as one extremely healthy friend told me he's begun to experience clicking sounds in his knees. Mine was more inflammatory, which seemed to be linked to gluten.
Energy is also linked to what we eat, so maybe more fresh veggies and less processed food would help.
Sorry to hear you're experiencing this. (((CoCo)))

The dumest thing an elder ever said to me..
by new hope and happiness inconversation with an elder...i said " did you watch due south yesterday" and he said " ive got far more important things to do".
i mean that comment of his got me to thinking and wondering, and made me see he was missing out on living..and i think that comment was the straw that broke this boys faith, and started my i dont want to be a witness anymore.
kind of wierd how a simple question opened my eyes.. and now as i write this i am watching " the rebel" a 1950s western series, and its great and its even better my 9 year old is watching with me..and there is nothing more important than being happy.. .

How about these...
"You can't move, you're in my five-year plan!" said when I was pioneering in a small congregation.
"You need to be careful talking like that to someone in my position"...said the newly-appointed eldub who had been abusive to my daughters about their weight while out in service.

Can't imagine how that comment about NOT needing to be like the Boreans would be so calmly accepted...what a wacky, wacky pseudo-religion
