Invatation Snubs - Anybody?
by CaptK inmy mother who has been a jw for over 50 yrs, was sent an invatation to an elder's son high school graduation party.
however it was addressed to just her alone not including her husband who is not a witness but a nice guy just no jw.
the elder's son has yet to speak to my mother at the meetings even a hello or a casual conversation.

Counting Time..what your opinion?
by CaptK inwhen i was a dub i use to get so mad trying to get in the national average of 10 hours a month.
i would work during the week then get 2 - 2.5 hours on sat for maybe 8 - 10 hours a month.
others like the elders would always be above that average and a lot of the time some of these elders would skip out on vacation or who knows what on half of the saturdays.
