anyone have any details?

Yeah,I've also heard so much about this tour. I really would like to know what pieces they look at and what their analysis is.

YAY!!! My first time being shunned and it was humorous to say the least

by confusedandalone in

a good friend of mine invited me to a party after her meeting on sunday.

i told her i was not going any longer and she doesn't care.

she also let us know that no other witnesses would be there.

Love it! Thanks for the impetus to do the same. Right now, there is a jdub family in mychild's class. Open House arrives, i say hi to all the moms as we've known each other since our children were in kindergarten . Jdub mom doesn't say hi to anyone. At least before she said hi to me. Im done with it. I want to enjoy my year. I don't want to participate in my own shunning. So next time we are in the same space I willsay hi and begin to chit chat. Too bad for her if she chooses to shun (and mind you, her kid came to all of my kids parties ) it's all good!

C&A, question-- once the announcement is made will you actively reject the shunning and continue saying hi to those that you knew? Or will you participate in your shunning and allow them to ignore you by ignoring them?

I've been contemplating these options for some time now...

Interesting experience while protesting at district conventions

by theron ware in

for three weekends this summer, a friend and i protested outside district assemblies being held in the tucson convention center.

our approach was very low key and completely non-confrontational: we just held our posters and smiled.

this was our experience at the first two assemblies (for the third assembly, see the next paragraph).

I love all of these ideas for signs, especially ones that simply say jwfacts.com and any ones directed towards children/pre-teens/teenagers. It realy doesn't have to be fancy. Anything about Jesus wouldn't grab the attention of a dub. Jesus is out of the picture, not even an afterthought in this religion. Waste of space,time,materials to use his name.

That does sound like an excellent idea for a book! hmmm

Encounter at McDonalds

by jws in

jw
friends

so i was helping some friends move and it came time for a break, i took my kids to mcdonalds.

we're sitting there and there's a family across from us, man, wife, 2 kids under 4. in the next booth is this older guy, maybe late 60's.. i'm not really paying attention, but then this older guy says something to the family about everybody being "me-first" these days.

so that caught my ear.

LisaRose-- oh wow, the way you twisted that magazine to make it fit the new light on "green cheese" and the moon. It fits the WT mag profile perfectly. Scary stuff. :-(

Haha, when they had the arrangement a few years back to bring to the kingdom hall any old mags that were still in good condition, i honestly brought in 5 boxes. The PO got upset about it! LOL I got a good laugh out of that. I hated that they were taking up so much space and there was no way i was going to place them all. I told himthat too :-) In the end the PO gave them to the congregation's stand-and-true loony pioneer sister.

My first cigar

by LivingTheDream in

my first cigar.

not soon after i faded, i was on a company shindig and they were providing hand rolled cigars to everybody there.

i watched in amazement as this dominican guy rolled them in front of my eyes with great care and skill.
