My mother was brought up in the truth and lived through the 1975 in the truth.
He's a young thing, y'all be nice to him (no matter how uninformed he is).

It may be that a larger bank of stand-in CO's and a reduction in fulltimers is a policy change.
I'd heard it was just a lack of appropriate and willing candidates.

I know of at least one of the C.O.s that retired last month and it was just that, retirement. Travelling around in your seventies is a bit tiring.

Saw them at the Glasgow Barrowlands (top venue) just as they released their first album. And they were indescribably good. I'd do them all if I had the chance. Maybe they're just too good for the USA...
I'm off out to shake my ass, maybe to the SS. Have good weekend Crumpers.

How many 'real" friends did you ever really have in ther "truth'
by The Lone Ranger insure we got to know a lot of people, we knew a lot more people then the average person, but how many real friends did we ever have?
a friend that we could trust, that we could confine in.
i can say i had just one, bro x and even then i still had to be careful, bro x is an elder now and he tells me that im the only real friend hes ever had, he cant freely talk to anyone.

I should add that while a JW I really looked hard for friends that were likeminded and was really fortunate to find them as I know many didn't and still don't. I wouldn't recommend it as it was probably forming these friendships that kept me in until I was 30, but I can't regret having made them.

"had I been a dub I know for a fact my decisions wouldve been judged and my actions condemned."
I completely understand and confess that my friends reactions to some recent events in my life couldn't be further from those of the dubs. But they reflect their environment, as did the JW friendships. I don't think any of my friends would stand by me if I turned out to be a paedophile. (but some JWs might!)

I had quite a lot and even though they now shun me I still view the friendship we had at the time as real. Friendships can wax and wane, even close ones, and even the closest of non JW friendships can breakdown or drift apart. It's the sudden stopping that marks these losses as different and painful. I've regained friendship with those that left ahead of me, and picked up with those that left after me and feel sorry for those half a dozen or so really decent eggs that I met who are still trapped in a high control group.
But I'll freely admit that I'm in a fairly forgiving stage in my life. It might pass!

COLLEGE!
by RichieRich inoh, so in the midst of everything else, college is goin well.. about 30 % of my high school graduating class came here, so its really just like high school part2.
i have 2 morning classes, and 2 night classes, so that way the majority of my schooling gets done on 2 days of the week instead of 4. last night was my first night in my english 111 class.
i already knew thaqt there was one witness in there, but its someone who i've kept up with, and someone who is cool with me, as i am.

Richie, you need no advice from this forum as you are one operator par excellence. Just being you will make her squirm!
