Hoping The Meeting is Cancelled
by roybatty ini'm sitting here at home in front the fire place, looking outside watching watching the snow fall.
not a blizzard but a pretty good snow fall for north-central illinois.
it feels great being at home on an evening like this, relaxing.

Does it matter how long ago a serious sin happened?
by roybatty inmy ex and i had an interesting conversation this evening on the phone.
we ended up talking about dfing and da'ing and i made some comment about her "turning me into the elders for joining the y" and then i stated something to effect that "she's lucky i never said anything to the elders about her and i and what we did before getting married.
" (basement, alone, dark, - use your imagination).

If the Society changed the rules about .....
by roybatty inspeaking with those who are df'd or da'd would you, could you, begin associating with your jw family and friends?
not that i believe they will, but i was thinking "what if" they did.
i wonder if one's jw family realizes how much damage is done to a relationship when they choose their "religion" over their family?

Got my judicial notes & file destroyed
by roybatty indoes it bug you that there are notes about you stuck somewhere in a kingdom hall file cabinet?
i cant say that its kept me up at night, but it does bother me that there are notes from my judicial hearing (and a file) that i cant access but just about anyone with a little bit of nerve can.
anyway, i decided to call the po from the last congregation i was in and request that these notes be destroyed.

Are all women psychos?
by roybatty inim not sure if i was married to a psycho or not and am wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with their ex.
weve been divorced for 2-1/2 years and have had our ups and downs.
because shes a diehard jw and doesnt have grounds to get re-married i get an ear full from her blah...blah.. anyway, one minute shes like "its terrible that i have to wait for you to get married before i can" and then this past weekend she calls me to talk.

Bush-not sure if he's helping Joe Average American
by roybatty ini cant say that im a fan of affirmative action but bushs comments and actions against the u of m kind of burns me.
again, while i dont believe in affirmative action, i have to admit that it does help the "little guy.
" where i work there is another engineer who got a free ride through college because he received a hispanic scholarship while i spent 10 years paying back my student loans.

Pioneer sister making a sheperding call? Weird
by roybatty inok, im sitting here in my office when i hear the outside door open and close.
(btw, a visitor cant go beyond the foyer area because the door leading to the offices is kept locked).
anyway, my secretary is some where on break while the rest of the engineers are busy working (yeah, right).

Society's view on divorce & re-marriage
by roybatty ini was reading some of the other posts about divorce and it made me wonder about the "official" wt teaching on this matter.
even after re-reading the portion on divorce in the elders manual, i was still confused.
maybe an elder who served on a committee regarding this issue might know.

High school football - public vs. catholic
by roybatty inin your particular state, how do they mix public school & catholic school sports?
for example, here in illinois there are eight divisions for high school football (1a through 8a).
the larger the pool of kids, the higher in the divisions your team would be.
