  Why are do some people say I hope there not using an ipad on stage?

  by Brother Mike in

  i find it ridiculous when people say that about ipads, but not android tablets or kindles on stage.

  especially since one third of our cong uses ipads at the meetings and on stage.

  it seems like they think apple tablets are pagan.

  At our hall its a status thing.

  Its creating a them and us attitude.

  Them that have them that dont.

  No one cares about stumbling others.

  I am a jeans and tee kind of girl as well. omg hate high heels and tights. Skirts and dresses. Matching/coordinating clothes, shoes bags.

  I binned all the books as well. Well its all old light and we have jw.org

  And when I do go, the second I get home first thing I do is change into something more comfortable.

  I no longer go out in fs so do not bother with a big wardrobe of meeting/fs clothes. Just a few basic that I keep wearing. Some idiot actually wispered to another idiot how my bag and shoes did not match, yes I heard you. Now I have just started buying clothes for me that I actually want to wear my style. And no they are not tarty.

  I live in a small town. In the past I have seen those who miss meetings/fs have outside friends and interests be seen as bad association, and eventually disfell. and over time move away. BUT those who are at every meeting/hours of fs etc, and have outside friends and interests, just get away with it, because basically of who they are, elders, elders wives, generations of family in so its all ok, not questioned.

  Now its 2014 time for me to get a life I am all of a sudden nervous! Guess I know what to do in reality but its so scary for me. I want to be happy have some fun, but not worry about the harsh judgement. How do you cope? I know its very poor me poor me, but born in, and if it was not for the one family member I would just leave!

  Fat Girls Guide to Life book

  by love2Bworldly in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  anyone read the "fat girl's guide to life"?

  i am reading it right now and finding it pretty interesting.

  it makes me think outside the box a little bit about how much money is spent on products for people to lose weight, and how much money saturates the market and influences so much of the media.. the author's attitude is one i try to have-- exercise, be balanced in eating habits, drink water, take nutrition supplements, and don't obsess over dieting & what the scale says or about other people's judgements toward my weight.. right now, i already know why i am overweight-- i am eating to deal with my bipolar issues.

  Elders have in the past talked to me about my husband. cornered me at meeting. And they have talked to my husband about me. When we wised up and avoided them, or did not answer the questions, I found the elders wifes would want to be friendly and then start asking the questions their husband had asked. Now the two wifes who did this do not speak to me, they all seem to think we are in the wrong because we do not cooperate with the elders, by telling them all our business.

  It is wrong to talk to a sister alone in any form, they know it, but the rules change to suit each elder. May be you should ask the elders wife how she feels about her husband texting you wife, is he married?

  Talk about depressed

  by zeb in

  my wife is preparing to spend hundreds on a lap top to take into the field service.

  i carefully mentioned that the wts has gone from condemning the web to now using it.. her reply" no they never condemned it just said to people to be careful in using it".

  my memories of convention speakers must be different and" this is the way things are now; its all downloaded from the web".. with that as a given then why isnt the wts issuing computers to any one who wants one?

  jws encouraged to use computers in field service and at meetings now. To direct people to jw. in fs and to look up scriptures at meetings. Its an expensive business and very hard for the older ones who cannot get/work the technology. Months ago at our hall had a talk dedicated to using phone on fs to show people how to go to jw. for answers. Lots needed new phones.

  ooops I came back.

  And yes at one time net considered bad, years ago alot of elders swore they would never get one. Well guess what...

  They want all kh to have net access.
