  Swallowed my pride and had a good cry today

  as some of you know i have been have a few health problems lately.. i went to the doctor today to pick up my application for a handicapped parking permit.

  when we talked he said he would sign it for a year.. well he signed it as "permanent disability".

  in one way this is good because if they don't figure out the problem and find a solution i won't have to keep applying for it.

  Do You Kick Yourself For Going To Meetings When You Were Sick or During....

  inclement weather ?

  i remember having to wait until just about the last minute to call my bookstudy to tell them whether or not a meeting was being held or not.

  and these poor people hoping to enjoy a legitimate meeting off would be told by the elders whether they were expected to go or not.

  Hi iiz2cool,

  When I was still fairly new and pioneering, I had an accident where I wrenched my right knee. An x-ray later showed that my kneecap had shifted to the right side of my leg, so I was in considerrable pain.

  I went out street witnessing on my crutches, even before I saw a doctor! I was one sick puppy!!!

  That had to be really painful and to have to get pioneer hours in too. Street witnessing on crutches?

  That screwed up enthusiasm didn't last long though, and I eventually started to actively seek out reasons to avoid meetings and service

  I know my pain started making the budren of being a jw become almost totally unbearable. I was doing good if I got my publisher hours in. And yet many of the pioneers wanted me to come with them to help them get their time in. They would take me on their studies so I could get my time in .So, I thought I'll help them as much as I could. After I got better, I started to not want to go out in service and my hours went way down. All the time I was in pain they didn't want to hear I was in too much pain when it came to put their hours in. But I went out as much as I could. After I got better I didn't want to go out in service and my hours went way down. I would find stuff to make me really busy so I could use that as a way out of service.

  Hi Robotnomore,

  I always thought it said taking in knowledge. I just looked it up in five other translations and they all said KNOW. I'm still being amazed at how the WT has hacked up the bible to suit themselves.Thanks for the info.

  Interesting , thanks for the post.

  This newbie was told by a pioneer, years ago, that I should be careful when I look for the organization's offical site,because there are aposate sites out there. I resently felt the time had come to look at them.I put my new computer to work finding as many sites as possible. I couldn't bring myself to even think about lookng at a Watchtower for years. I felt I was ready now, so here I am.

  Hi La Capra,

  One spring the whole house came down with a yucky flu that wiped us out for a week. We were never missers, and certainly my mom was there every meeting with at least one of us kids. Well, after we were out for the second book study, someone finally called to see what had happened to us, and my mom was so pissed it took 'em that long to miss us, she kept us home for a month. I loved that month.

  I certainly can relate to that and I don't blame her I might have done the same thing.
