  I spent the night at my best friends house back in 72, I was 13. He had a stack of Sears and Penny's catalog's stashed under his bed. In them he had the women's under wear pages all marked!! Neither of us had seen a girl with a bush yet, and wondered why the heck their undines looked so funny. Being we both had sister's we had seen them naked many time's growing up, but still had no clue!! A copula of week later his mom found his stack.! His dad wasn't in the "truth" and he wasn't baptized or anything! His mother took all of his catalog's with her to the next meeting. Sammy had no ideal that she was going to drag him into the back room, to meet with the elders, (I'm not sure if that arrangement was in place yet) They jumped all over him. At the next meeting, witch was his last, they publicly marked him as a bad example, and had a talk about how to treat these people!! So his mom's stupidity back fired on her!! When he told his dad what had happened, he said that Sammy wasn't ever going back to the KH if that how they treated young boy's for being curious, his son would have nothing to do with it! And Sammy never again walked into a KH! When his sister found out what had happened, she refused to ever go again as well!!

  We lived a block away, I had to sneak around to see him. I lost touch with him a couple of years later, but ran into him three years ago, on a trip to that area. I wish we could have stayed connected all those years!!!

  i'm sorry, i didn't see that someone had already posted about this!!.

  i just love the special relief packages that are being provided by "the branch" it's such a "loving provision".

  funny how they leave out that it's not costing them a dime, but is being given to them, to pass out!.

  A local church had a community day, and were handing out the very same stuff! The difference is that they weren't taking credit for it!

  I turned it down three time over a ten year period of time!! I was appointed as an MS at 18, and I was 27 the first time I was asked to "Serve" as an eldub!!

  I received some pretty harsh words each time!

  Disability, is not Welfare!

  I have known many that pioneered while on disability. Most were legit.

  I was in a cong for a short time, where if you were working full time, the body pushed you to quit full time work, and take part time, and sign up for food stamps and other welfare programs. If you didn't, do so and pioneer, they would not even call on you in meetings!! This cong, had 70 publisher, with 40 of them pioneering!!!!

  Oh by the way, he's the biggest hypocrite I have ever known! His older brother is a smoker and a drunk, but with his mon's and brother's hely, he's been able to stay in good standing some how!! I have pictures of him doing both, that were given to me by his son! I have seen him many time smoking! His eldu brother threatened me and another family member over this issue!!!

  And I thought that my X in laws were big hypocrites !!

  I spent a couple months helping remodel an old church into a KH in Mississippi!!!

  The stage still had a baptism pool underneath it! The last time I passed though that small town, it's a church again!! I guess it was a good ideal to keep the pool, incase the time came to sell it!!!
