We would applaud the most at the end of the session, especially the last prayer,,, talk about taking forever! I was ready to scream out, "END IT", while the guy's saying, ",,,,and jehovah, please bless the butterflies, the worms, the sparrows...."

Did you take down notes at the meetings?
by JH inwere you the type to always jot down every little detail the brothers said from the podium?.
i found it amusing when especially sisters were always writting notes in their pads when the brother was giving a talk in the front.. i wonder if it was because they found the topic interesting, or because they wanted to look as if they were learning something.. i was all ears, but never took down notes.
that's odd, coming from a person who is "visual".

AAAUUUGH! YES, AT THE DISTRICT CONVENTIONS!!! AAAAUUGH!!
Where did those notes end up? In the garbage. The last few years we used to draw pictures of gross things - like stick-men killing each other, stomping on their heads with greusome gore.... that was fun.

How about "Why we think we're wrong.... again.... about 1914."
"Is it right to hate the society's dramas?"

Does your cat eat grass?
by JH inmy cat lives inside, and once in a while i bring her outside.
i bring her outside to walk and get exercise, but no she sits there and eats grass.
that's all she does is eat grass.. then she comes back inside and a few hours after she throws up the grass she ate.

What also cures hairballs is vaseline.... put it on your finger, and the furball will think it's a TREAT! Trust me! Also, giving a spoonful of wet food everyday will help with the horrendous habit!

Disfellowshipping
by Gadget inhi, i wonder if someone can give me some information on the disfellowshipping/reinstating process.
i appealed my disfellowshipping and at the appeal hearing they went to deliberate.
they spent 10min on their own, over an hour with the original committee, then 5-10 min on their own again before disfellowshipping me.

Imagine If The Watchtower Apologzed For Their Sins
by minimus inone thing that is commonly brought up is how the society has made so many mistakes and uttered so many false prophecies.
i just wonder what would happen if the watchtower ever came out and asked forgiveness for their sins and asked to start a clean slate.
(you know, like the pope did a couple of years ago).

ALL cats eat grass. It's quite normal. People who have indoor cats usually have a patch of grass that they grow just for their indoor cats.

Did You Support Children Getting Baptized?
by minimus inafter reading blondie's thread of the baptisms at the district convention, i couldn't help but identify with the 11 year old that said she was so happy to be baptized and has wanted to be baptized for years now.
i was 9 when i got baptized but really wanted to take the plunge at around 7. after my mother talked to the congregation servant about my desire, he said that she should not hold me back.
my daughter was 14 when she got baptized.

Yes! It happens all the time. There have been many people on this board whom had loved ones pass away, and half the family still wouldn't talk to them. It's just another pharisee rule of the WT organization.
