  Sorry to bust your bubble boo, but George is the star of this thread.

  Actually, it is neat to have your name in the title of a thread. That was the only way to ensure that you would click into the subject.

  Your'e probably right about other people outside of the Witnesses hating animals. I volunteer at an animal shelter every weekend and do see alot of abuse toward animals by those other than Witness. HELL I just want to blame everything on the dubs!

  He found me when he was 10 weeks old, and I was newly living alone. Now his main hobbies are puking up hairballs noisily at 5:30am, shredding carpets and chewing frogs.

  LOL. Sounds like my cat. I got her 10 years ago when she was four weeks old. Now she, of course, owns the place and I'm only allowed to live there.

  Thanks for responding.

  Duthcie, I'm glad your mother did the right thing and took your feelings into consideration. Had I come home, it would have been that my father would have taken my turtle, cat, dog, etc. along side a road somewhere and dropped it. He did that throughout my childhood with all of our animals. I think dubs do not place a high regard on animals lives. That man made life misearable, the whole time going to the KH and acting like he was God's gift to this earth.

  Fred Hall, why does it not surprise me that you responded to this thread?

  "Management of the Ramada Inn of Manchester r eported that six elders met for about one hour and then left without paying for the room. One week later, Anderson provided information to the motel on how to track down the elders for payment. "

  Isn't this theft and thus grounds for disfellowshipping? I almost cannot believe that they left without paying - that just blows my mind.

  a reunion perhaps, a party, a beautiful view shared with an equally stunning partner, what was ever, the happiest moment in your life?

  how did you find this emotion, exactly what did it feel like, can you remember and perhaps share your sentiments here with the rest of us?

  please take us there with you.. celtic mark - cornwall uk.

  I've not had too many happy moments in my life, but I have great hope that I will experience many of them now that I am free.

  Since January I've been working closely with an Episcopal Church, having become a member. Within that time I have devoted about five to six hours each week in working with the homeless through the church's outreach ministry. Recently I moved close to the church and see the homeless daily as I come and go. One night I was returning from a Lenny Kravitz concert and drove by the church. This was about 3:30 a.m. I saw all these homeless people sleeping in the church yard. Some of their heads were resting directly on the ground and others used their shoes as pillows. I went home, got five pillows from my bed, and took them to the church.

  One man was covered from head to toe in a white sheet. He looked like corpse under the sheet - ever so still. I went over and touched him. I will never forget how he looked at me through his sleepy eyes. I handed him the pillow and remember so vividly how he pulled the soft pillow into his body. The surprised look on his face that someone would do that for him gave me an overwhelming feeling of having helped a person - another live human being. A moment I will never forget and, while not necessarily "happy," most warm and satisfying. Before leaving I said in the calmest voice, as if I were whispering a baby to sleep, "won't you come to church on Sunday?" And, he did.

  I cry every time I think of this most sacred moment in my life. What it truly means to help another person.

  UK About To Flip-Flop On Blood?

  i was having a chat with my apostate kid brother yesterday about witness beliefs.

  he finds that talking about jw's stimulates his mind almost as much as watching paint drying.

  i told him that our mother was about to be imprinted yet again by the territorial wt savages, this time in the re-iteration of that loving practice known as disfellowshipping.

  If they changed their stance on this issue, do you really think the dubs would care other than those who have lost loved ones in death due to this doctrine? Or would they just say, it's "new light?"

  i've been posting here since february now, and i'm just beginning to get familiar with alot of the posters.

  i've learned that i cannot rely on the profile picture, since they change often.

  so, now i focus on the screen name.. anyway, in an effort to be more aware of some of you, how many served at bethel fulltime, and what was it like?

  jschwehm:

  I really enjoyed your story. I'm so happy that you can take care of your family. Getting your Ph.D. must have been a great moment. Just this week, I started college and the moment I receive my degree will be the greatest moment for me. Of course, I plan to pursue a Masters after that.

  Thanks for the story.

  Anyway, in an effort to be more aware of some of you, how many served at Bethel fulltime, and what was it like? Did you feel like a god when you would visit back home? Were you dead tired all the time? Did you witness sins within Bethel? Did you really have to be at the breakfast table at 7:00 a.m.? What did you think about sisters not having dish duty? Crap like that is what I'm interested in.

  There was a guy from my childhood town that served at Bethel and may still be there - Ed Vosh. Anyone know him?
