  by eyeslice in

  the great fur debate has re-surfaced today with the news that nelson mandela wore a fur hat recently.

  so here is the question would you ever wear real fur and are there moral implications here?

  or are you more of a fig leaf person?

  so we have our circuit overseer this week.

  we're getting the crap kicked out of us (figuratively) for our meeting attendance.

  we have attendance in the 70% range for some of our meetings.

  Before the CO's visit we had an elders meeting and discuss who was inactive and might come along to boost the numbers a wee bit.

  When he came we would also have a mini band playing the Kingdom songs (piano, violin, flute and me on the triangle)

  filthy kingdom halls

  i don't know if this is wt policy, but our hall had a policy of assigning bookstudy groups to clean the hall.

  the few times my family actually showed up (along with anyone else) that the hall was always in a disgusting state, especially the bathroom.

  the woman's washroom had the most revolting smell you could ever imagine.

  The KH in Berwick Upon Tweed is in an old church. We went there when we were on holiday, great for hide and seek.

  My old hall used to be a converted bowling alley another cool place for hide and seek.

  whilst taking my morning shower, where i always seem to do my best thinking (please, no rude remarks concerning showering, thank you)...i got to thinking about my dad.

  our family was raised jw's; except for my dad, who knew better!

  he passed away about 20 years ago and today, whilst in my shower, (oh yeah, i said that already)...i thought how hard that must of been on him.

  A touching account of how this cult can effect us. I am sure your Dad will live on so long as you don't forgot how great a Dad he was.

  Take care and don't get back in that shower to soon.

  Regards

  Hi,

  Sorry to hear you are sad but you sound like a really nice person as well and not self centred. However you have to get out and get yourself a hobby or a pastime that you can meet some new friends.

  I was scared when I left as all my pals were in the truth but I joined a football team took an interest in coaching my sons team so now busy. Oh got a dog as well.

  You also need to communicate with Mr Whyamihere tell him how you feel.

  Not sure if this helps but there are lots of great peeps on here who can help

  Take care
