df'd ones are asked to sit in the back row at the hall.
although i was never df'd, i always sat in the back because i felt more comfortable back there.
i never did participate much anyways so i sat in the last row or before last.
Do spiritual ones sit closer to the front?
I don't know if I'd say spiritual, but I would say that the more hard-core and militant JW's sat closer to the front.
At least that's how it was in our KH.
They wanted to sit close to the front for different reasons.
I'm sure one reason was to allow the rest of the congregation to see how many times they raised their hand to answer Q's even when they were not called on.

in light of the well placed speculation of the awake going from bi-monthly to monthly publication, all arrows seem to point to the wts attempting to consolidate their operations to save $.. as metatron has stated, it looks like a death spiral for the wts.
maybe that's overstating it, or maybe it's closer to the truth.. here are some items i can think of that the wts has done in the last 10 years to save $no more subscriptionselimination of food service at assemblies and conventionshardcover 192 page books moved to softcoverprinting more items [name badges, dc programs, etc..] in two color instead of 4 color processselling the furman building in brooklyn heights.

Anyone else?
just wondering how many others there are like me who are married to a witness who is either actively going or fading away?
i have found that even though my husband is fading away - he still has a lot of those witness thoughts.. it's definately better that he is away from them and not getting their "spiritual food (vomit)".
but i still have worries when his mother calls and invites us to the memorial or tries to give us the latest book.. i feel my blood pressure just about go through the roof.. i'm glad there are places like this board to talk with people and get support from real " friends".

hey folks,.
an era in the ex-jw history is over.
kent steinhaug's site http://watchtower.observer.org is being shut down.. it was the first of it's kind, and to this day probably still the largest anti wt site on the net.
$500?
I'm with IT on this. I can't use the exported product, but I'll throw in $50 to export it for someone who can use it as another wood stake in the WTS's heart.
I've contributed enough to the WTS over my lifetime and it'll be a pleasure to make a donation against these two faced bastards.
i just recieved this note from one of our faithful and discreet slaves... keep an eye out for the march 2005 km.

they'll be lucky to see me at all at the farguing book study meeting!!!
damn it, if they don't have anything new to study, why not move some of the other meetings' material to this hour thus making shorter those other meetings???!!!
of course not, for this move would be too simple yet smart and full of common sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
DY,
Sorry to hear this.
To help you out I've compiled some "ready to use answers" for you:
Good luck
i am so terrified!.
#2 daughter came home from college on 12/18 with a violent headache, nausea, neck pain and great fatigue.
we took her to the dr. on the 20 and again on the 21st as she had kept nothing down for 3 days.
Wow Brenda, that's scary! I'm glad to read that you have a good Dr. and that there appears to be a course for a full recovery.
Best wishes, Paul
and if you are do you care to tell why you are disfellowshipped?
for those who were not what prevented you from being disfellowshipped?
curious minds want to know.
I DA'd myself before they DF'd me for Apostasy or whatever else they concocted up to silence my questions.
I disassociated myself at the end of a Public Talk I was giving.

Still the best DA'ing story ever!
