  What about Tony being interviewed by Barbara Anderson. She would know what to ask.

  Only problem is she is DF'd therefore he would shun her!

  I was almost 38 when I married my non MS husband who was 44 at the time. First marriage for both of us.

  We are very happy 14 years later and have both faded, actually happier now than ever.

  Position means nothing, happiness means everything. Life in this world is too short to marry the wrong person.

  Over 1,000,000 in attendance and you are worried about tight pants?

  you know, rarely in the history of the org has a group this large congregated to hear from "mother.

  " they incessantly speak of the huge group that met at yankee stadium in 1958...the over 250,000 that congregated to be instructed by jehovah.

  but over the weekend, there were over 1,000,000 people excited to hear some type of direction, some type of encouragement, something to help them hang on "just a little longer.".

  Thanks Phizzy for clarifying that for me, that JW's worship the GB.

  From being on this site and others and from listening to my mother-out-law, a full on JW, I thought that must be the case.

  My now deceased father used to say, "Focus on Jehovah. Man will always disappoint, Jehovah will never disappoint".

  I don't mean to be a party pooper or anything, but was there any mention of Jehovah at this zone visit talk thing?

  Perhaps if everyone, especially the GB focused on what the religion is supposed to be about, the worshipping of Jehovah, then all

  other things will fall into place.

  I haven't been to a meeting since the memorial of 2013, so am not sure, do they still worship Jehovah or are the priorities changing?

  Don't bother reading this

  i'm just bored.

  i'm currently (right now) running a mic up and down the aisles, recognising the faulty logic, one line platitudes, and indoctrination techniques.

  i like posting while on active duty.

  Don't bother reading this is good enough reason for me to read it. It is like heading something as private or confidential, you are guaranteed an enthusiastic reading audience.

  I just read Auntconnie's comment about being a CO's wife. Would love to show that to the mother-in-law. Problem is, she wouldn't read it and even if she did, she would not believe it was a CO's wife.

  What an agonising time she is going to have in the circiit work or maybe the adulation will be enough to keep her going. You never know, she may meet an attractie, sexy brother in the circuit and run off with him. Wouldn't be the first time!

  Whenever we visit my mother-in-law she is always talking about what the elders said or what the circuit overseer said. She talks as if Jehovah himself was there in the flesh. She couldn't be more impressed if he was. Actually she never mentions Jehovah, it's always the elders, CO, Bethel brothers and wives of these " wonderful, worthy of worship" people.

  A CO that once visited held a barbecue and invited "selected" people, MIL was one of them. Well, didn't we hear about that for ages after.

  Another CO visited us a couple of years ago and after the visit was over, it was announced to our cong that he had been disfellowshipped. So much for him being a god.

  I thought the post by Roamingfeline should not be hidden so far back on this site, so if I commented that would bring it to where the discussion I'd happening now. Just because it was said 14 years ago doesn't mean that it is irrelevant now.
