hey, i haven't been here in a while, but reading over some of the posts (especially those about being disfellowshipped/reproved according to the local rules of the congo instead of "repentant" or not) got me fondly remembering the little fights/conflicts in my hometown congregation, and wondering if those families who put up with it are still in the organization or are sitting here venting about their unfair past.

so the names of the families in the subject line should ring a bell to anyone from my hometown congregation.. at any rate, always good to see new names on the board.

more leaving, more getting help.. happy thanksgiving everyone, enjoy.

Paying for the pioneer
by Thegoodgirl in
1. jw
2. friends
hi guys, let me get your opinion on this:.

my mom's a pioneer, so she scrapes by on little money, refuses to work overtime, and tries to even survive on part time entry level work.

she can survive, but when it comes to getting appliances fixed, going on vacation, buying new clothes, she has to rely on others gifts and donations to her.. i want her to come visit me, and i need to pay for her ticket.

Remember the not-at homes?
by Thegoodgirl in
1. jw
2. friends
that obituary post reminded me of those awful weekday mornings knocking on entire neighborhoods of not-at-homes.

i remember one particular neighborhood in florida where it was one big trailer park of "snowbirds" who would move back up north for the summer.

however, being the thorough jws that we were, we would knock on every single door, leaving magazines, etc, even if the awnings were down and it was obvious no one would be livng there for months.

How do you know when your spouse is cheating on you?
by Thegoodgirl in
1. social
2. relationships
okay, i know this is personal, but i kind of like the annoninimity of the board versus asking my friends who are all also friends with my husband.. my husband went out of the country with a group from work this weekend.

i was supposed to go but had to cancel due to other stuff.

it turned out only 4 ended up going, my husband, a guy, and two women.
