Hell no. At my judicial meeting, I simply refused to give them the answers to to the questions they were asking. Which kinda pissed them off. I didn't care at the time and I really don't care now. Its been awhile and I haven't heard from them. No phone calls or impromptu meetings. Could it be that they have forgotten me and said I am a lost cause? If they were to call to arrange to meet I would say I'm not interested or I'm all set.

How much money would it take for you to go out in service?
by unbeliever insay you had to go out in field service for 2 hours in your neighborhood and talk to your neighbors about jehovah.
what would somebody have to pay you to do this or would you not do it for any amount of money?
if i am going to humilate myself it better be worth my while.

I actually did not mind going out in service. What I did not like was going out when it was cold, rainy, or snowy. I hated wearing skirts and would preferred wearing pants.

I still read my bible.. Its kinda hard for me not to. I still remember seeing the text at columbia heights in black letters saying read god's word the bible daily. Certain verses still give me encouragement. Although I look at them differently now.

It is a day I will always remember. August 18, 1990. I was only 15 then but really had no idea of what I was getting myself into. I was really pressured by the elders months before to take my stand for Jehovah and to start going over my questions. Afterall all my friends my age were taking their stand, what was my problem? Why do the elders pressure the young ones so much in the congregation to get baptized when its truly clear they are not ready? The one thing that I remember so clearly is that my mother was truly proud of me. I have caused her much hurt and dissapointment since my disfellowshipping. I do find it ironic that the elder who baptized me that day is now gay and truly out of the closet and the borg

NO didn't go. I am just not feeling it anymore. In fact I haven't been in the 4 years I have been out. I know people in my former hall still talk about me. Let them talk, for I am so over that too.

tKingdom Melodies I remember/liked.
by ScoobySnax inok bucking the trend here, but there was some kms i liked, alot of stick has been given to "gods loyal love"....well i liked that one.
nice melody.. i think song 4 "gods promise of a paradise" too.
and song number 15 "life without end at last".....remember this was in the brown book....still like that one, especially at conventions, always guaranteed to be on the sunday programme, still get teary eyed at that one.. what i want to know is what happened to "keep your eyes on the prize"....i can remember writing those words out on a sheet and hanging it in my room, surely the classic jw kingdom melody of all time...guaranteed at conventions circa 70's/80/s......still miss it, and hum it even now occasionaly.

I used to love Life without end at last, and To god we are dedicated. I remember having tears in my eyes the day I sang that song with the others on the day of my baptism. I was so happy I had taken a stamd to serve jehovah for the rest of my life. I never thought I would say this but I regret I ever made that decision.

When The Circuit Overseer Visited, Why Did You Do More Than Usual?
by minimus inwas it pressure, the desire to conform, was it because you thought that you could work in service with him???
were you trying to get appointed?
did you really think it was a "special week of activity"?

Basically it was a big week to show off. Those that rarely attended meetings would show up early to all the meetings and be at those meetings for field service. It was really interesting to watch. I recall the hall being packed with lots of visitors on Sun for those talks. It appeared as if one was never doing enough when the CO would show up. My mom would always have her hand up way in advance for feeding the CO and his wife and then drive herself nuts trying to find out what they liked to eat, or what they were allergic to. I recall running around town trying to find flowers for a centerpiece. Way too much work than I wanted to invest in for that week. I don't miss those days
