i just spent the weekend with my diehard witness parents.
they try hard not to 'show' interest in information i know before they do.
mom has wondered how i know before they do.
being dispersed from bethel to become pioneers in other territorie is because a major announcement is coming up and the gb is worried about how the r&f are going to take it
I think the elder just made that up. Haven't we heard other, more "plausible" explanations? (Efficiency, cost reduction, etc.)
i think i threw up a little in my mouth when i got this email.. this is being emailed around the jws right now.
sure you can trust them with your money but what about your children???.
this book has been published to tell folks how to protect themselves from identity theft, among other things.
Two valuable rings were stolen during a move; one of the "brothers" helping us was an elder, the other ms. I'd just checked to make sure I'd put them back in the jewelry box in another box. Of course, I decided at the time that I must have been the crazy one. I suspect it was the elder that took them.
i have not been on here in a long time but i have always valued the advice of everyone, so here goes.....i am dfd and my wife has never been a part of the org.
we are getting ready to have our first child in may.
my mother who is now living in patterson(at one of the motherships) speaks to me every 1 to 2 years.
If you decide to be generous and let her in, be very careful. She may very well want to get to your wife and the baby with "the truth." She'll have all day to subtly preach and get an in with the baby. My mother didn't want to visit with me but wanted to take my young children for the summer. I knew all too well they'd be brainwashed and had to say no.
Please let us know how this works out.

i was wearing a cotton bathrobe this weekend and went to the gas stove to adjust the coffee pot.
suddenly there was a burst of flame on top part of my sleeve.
tore the bathrobe off, threw it to the floor, and stomped it out, although the fire caught on another part of the bathrobe and i had to keep stomping.
Frightening; I'm glad you're OK.
I used to have a robe with big droopy sleeves that caught on the handles of pans; nearly dumped hot food all over!
yep, there's no excuse for any of you lot.. if a sister of 106 can auxiliary pioneer last memorial season, so can you.. this ancedote was in the jan km - puke making - what the heck was a 106 year old doing going from door to door, and i mean this literally, not just phone witnessing.. have these people got no sense?
i mean 106 years old and making 50 hours a month - for what?.
if anyone here has the us km, please upload it here as i don't have a scanner..
My daughter recently got a letter from my sister that included an "article" and photo about my mother going out in service with an oxygen tank. Toward the "end" she couldn't get out of the car and go d2d but sat in the car and kept track of placements. ugh My sister wrote the "article" and told the bro's to feel free to use it in the asleep mag. The writing was like an fifth grader - so much for that college education from reading the Awake. My mother would have hated the photo; it was morbid. But what an example! (she was only 82, though)
i go in monday at 10:00 am to work out the details and total number of hours and such.
Wow! Congratulations!
it's been said many times that bethel monitors this board.
if they do, what do you think they're thinking?
do you think this board could cause a staunch bethelite to question things?
I imagine they'd have to rotate monitors off pretty quickly; the truth about the troof becomes clear rather quickly.
hang in there until the 2-3 min mark..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv-a1vmz6y8&feature=related.
i laughed until my head split open.... ash.
He sounded like he'd been trained by the tms!
i havnt received mine yet, im just wondering how many others havnt either???
just incase mine has been registered so it can be tracked.
we have already had one bad experience this week, had to send on hubby's xbox console as it overheated and died, the post have "misplaced" it, im so glad we have it insured.. es.
Thank you, Valkyrie. I hope it reaches her. Last year, the gift I sent was returned to me the first part of February. In all fairness, she hadn't told me she'd be out of the country but also said there was no notice of delivery left at her apartment. I hope this year's package returns to me if it doesn't reach her.
I've never heard of the postal service listing a description of lost packages; thats sweet. And that the card with the incomplete address reached you is remarkable.
hi, just here to share my life with others.. .
i was born into the cult, raised within the cottonballs all around, as a little 4 year old with nothing but angels and god in mind and how beautiful everything he has created is.
i was the sixth kid, fourth that lived.
Welcome to the forum. You've had to endure a lot! It's hard, sometimes, to let go of the entangelments of our families, but it will pass.
Wishing you the best,
Emma
