  ~2300 in attendance.

  one day cost of $16,900!.

  this was at romeoville, which was built ground up in the 90's and was fully paid for by the illinois circuits!.

  In my parts, it averages about 12 dollars cn per person attending. So the last assembly I believe the cost was close to $10,000 for one day for 780 people.

  Was my dad awake?!

  by EyesOpenHeartBroken in

  i am wondering if my deceased elder father was awake?

  once we found out he was dying, i spent every moment i could with him, we were very close.

  anyway, i offered to read to him a lot when he was resting.

  Your dad was a great man-one that wasn't afraid to stand up for what he thought was right. From what you write he was as genuine as they come. I've heard "rank and file" used by witnesses but "company men?" I can't imagine anybody entrenched in this cult use that expression. Also the fact the he only wanted to listen to the Bible, would lend itself to someone who was able to see what was behind the curtain.

  By the way WELCOME

  Farewell

  by EdenOne in

  "don't be dismayed by good-byes.

  a farewell is necessary before you can meet again.

  and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.

  Oh gosh Eden! I am not a great poster but I read a lot on this forum and I've always enjoyed your posts. I used to read Vivienne too. But he/she has turned me off many times. When I see his/her posts I skip through them.

  Sending you good wishes whatever you decide to do.

  dating even though not scripturally free to do so

  by seekingadvice in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  wondering what to think...i'm recently divorced from my jw spouse ( i was never a jw).

  we have a 11 year old son who is being forced to attend meetings and have all the beliefs that ex has.

  i'm constantly being told what i should do and i'm supposed to go along with ex on whatever he says because apparently the "head of the family" continues after divorce in his world.

  I agree the other fellow posters that they most certainly dating. There was a sister years ago that got disfellowshipped under similar circumstances. They told she was committing emotional adultery in her heart.

  And yes he could be disfellowshipped--both of them actually

  Mid - Week Meeting This Week

  millie210 posted this on another thread - i thought it deserved it's own op:.

  i took an elderly friend to the meeting last night.

  the study is in the "imitate their faith" book which is merely a compilation of previous short stories about bible characters that were featured in a series of watchtower articles.. they waste no time beginning their spinning and supposition with the cain/abel story.

  That study was dreadful

  @exjwsrock-- it really was dreadful. I sat there stunned and thinking how bizarre the material was and how at one time, I soaked it all in.
