Holiday field service....as a kid
by freedom96 inmost of my jw experience was as a kid, and i remember going out in service on holidays, christmas in particular.. number one, it sucked because most people were there, and boy did i love not-at-homes.
they would answer, there would be food cooking, there was a full house with relatives and friends, and as you talked to the householder, everyone else in the house wanted to see who was there.
most of the time they treated us ok, but once in a while you would hear some person in the background make a snide remark.

by megaflower indoes anyone know how they treat a house when they get someone home.
do they consider it a retun visit as the jw's do.
my nephew encountered some mormons today(got a call from sis) as she saw him talking to them when she returned home.

When will the JWs celebrate Memorial this year?
by Athanasius ini haven't attended the jw memorial in 20 years and thought that it might be nice to attend this year's celebration to see if the service has changed and if they serve a better quality wine.
if anyone knows what day this week the special event will be observed, please let me know.. thanks,.

For My Distant Love
by Athanasius ino' how precious the moment we shared not so long ago.. together we caught the rain, felt dawn, saw sunset glow.. it was so wonderful, so right, that you and i be together.. but duty called.
o' how i wanted to stay with you forever.. the wind tossed your golden tresses the day i left.. you were standing there so beautiful yet so bereft.. that was the saddest of days, the day i had to depart.. for that which is beyond control would keep us apart.. though i am home in that golden land in the west,.
i think of you always, my love, daughter of the east.. my love, a woman so beautiful, and the woman i most adore.. i will count the days till i return and hold you once more..
