I would come for a certainty.
Infact I've been feeling a little braver of late and had some thoughts of suggesting some sort of get-together????????
I would love to see some of you 'in the flesh', (as it were)
While wer'e on the subject..............gulps and pauses to think straight.............
Any UKers upto it?
even after all these years away from dubbism, i still get a buzz each sunday morning when i awake and think "no field service ever again!".
i appreciate that it's now called something along the lines of "engaging in the ministry" or similar, back then we simply "went on the work".
god, how i loathed it.. so tomorrow, instead of door-bashing and meeting attending, i will do what i want to do.
I love pottering about on Sundays. I like to take my time cooking, no set meal-times is great for me. I sometimes open a nice bottle of wine. I take it easy on a Sunday and take everything in my stride.
i need a vent guys, i hope you all don't mind!
i'm not sure what has happened to me today of all days, but i just can't fight back the tears.
i guess it must be the pretence fatigue kicking in.
Hello Matty,
Just thought I'd let you know what it was like for me while my person was sat in the meetings and my mind was not.
I started to take great delight in thinking bad thoughts about those on the platform, while they were speaking.
I would open my mouth really wide and yawn, purposefully at the ones that gave the boring talks, while they were looking at me.
When somebody that I didn't care for got up to give a talk or demo, I would go out to the ladies or sit in the back school.
I used to not give my talks and got out of the habit of making up excuses either. I didn't owe them an excuse.
I stopped putting money in the contribution box and felt good about it.
I would write notes and draw pictures of people in the hall and pass them to my kids and giggle.
All trivial stuff really, but it gave me a sense of strength and it was the start of me reallybeing me or true to myself and what I really felt like inside.
I don't presume that this is the right thing to do for you. However I understand how awful it is to have to pretend you are something you are not. That is where my petty, childish behaviour helped me to find my own values and eventually the courage to leave.
Take care,
Bay64me

i just got off the phone with carla.
carla and paula's mother has just passed away.
carla said that paula had been checking her post on and off all through the night and that it gave her much comfort in knowing that so many replied and showed that they cared.
Thinking of you.

i understand that in prehistoric europe that they had `venus' figurines that reperested the `mother goddess'.. these show an obese `woman' and r rather obscene and indecent so please do not show links 2 pictures of any of these figurines.
If I were to be politically correct, I would question the title of your post!
Why women and not men?
Many of the women in my former congregation were and infact are, obese
But I know three elders that had health problems due to the fact that they were fat bastards. Also three ministerial servants that were also so fat that that they could not tie their own shoe laces.(One inparticular needed regular assistance in getting his own shoe ON)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i know alot of people don't like beer, but i have been drinking beer since i was 7 yrs old.
i love the stuff!!!.
i was drinking bud light but my bf drinks dark beer (which i hated), but from kissing him for more than a yr now.
Good old Newcastle Brown Ale is one of my favourites.
I also like Old peculiar, Murpheys and of course Guiness.
besides giving up our time and assets,is there anything that you particularly felt that you truly "gave up" to become or remain a witness?
My sense of humour, spontainety (spelt wrong), cheekiness, creativity, friends, decent clothes, good music, my husband and my life.
