  Julia gets hit with the Shun Gun for the first time...and it really hurts.

  my jw friend of 20 years, the first one i ever met, the one who got me into jwism in the first place, unfriended me from facebook without explanation.

  other jws who have unfriended me at least called me names (apostate) and told me they were unfriending me, but they were no loss.

  but someone who's been your friend since you were 13...and no explanation...i'd think 20 years- 20 years!

  Tech49 on HOURS, TIME, and REPORTS

  by Tech49 in

  i thought i would share some of my observations on counting field service time, reports, etc.

  and how those reports are viewed, to those that are still so fixated on numbers.. i served as secretary on the service committee for many years, and have seen it all!.

  i was really disheartened when wt changed the requirement for aux pioneering to allow for 30 hrs, instead of the 50 it has been for so long.

  School for Congregation Elders

  i attended the school late last year, and it was an emotional and mental rollercoaster for me.

  i was already divided in my heart to say the least.

  one of the instructors stayed in my home for the week, and my family genuinely enjoyed his company.

  Anyone have any 'Too close for comfort' moments with an elder ? (ladies)

  by billie jean in

  1. jw

  has anyone ever felt that an elder was perhaps 'coming on' to them ?

  i remember three specific occasions where i was alone with these three elders in my congregation on seperate occasions and it just didnt feel right.

  one where i was told i was "very attractive" and various other things he'd said made me nervous about my appearance, another where an elder took me to his car after a meeting in a dark car park and seemed to ask too many private questions and another time one of the elders who i thought always had his arms around young sisters too much took me to the 'back room' and sat far too close to me again references about my "attractive face" and other strange compliments.

  some things we'd rather just forget , i'm sure, but some things helped us think on our feet, quickly in helping others .

  here are a few of mine.

  What's The STRANGEST Thing You've Seen At A Kingdom Hall?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i saw a fight break out on the platform between an elder and a unbelieving husband who accused the elder of f---ing his wife.

  he then threw the lectern on the floor and pushed the elder.

  it was cool.......

  Going door to door in extreme weather

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this morning as i got up, it was 0 f outside.

  this morning at 9 o'clock as usual the same witnesses will go door to door at this temperature.

  i already saw them going door to door at -25 f. i wonder what it would take for them to say it is too cold or too hot to go out in the field service?
