I love my saturdays......
by freedomlover in

i woke up this morning and made coffee and we are planning on eating a big breakfast and then doing a hike to a waterfall where we can play in the water and pick wild blueberries.

it got me thinking how wonderful it is to have my weekends to myself now.

when i was a dub i would skip out on service a lot but the whole day was ruined for me because i'd feel guilty for not going out in service.

' and stormed out, i was probably 9 years old.

at the time i had a smurf record.

Who Pioneered?
by sass_my_frass in
1. jw

my two sisters did the right thing, pioneering straight out of school, janitoring to pay for the petrol (one didn't even bother with her final year of school).

it was this kind of fine example that got me guilt-tripped into auxiliary pioneering just after getting baptised at age 20. i only lasted six months; i took a holiday in queensland and returned not knowing much more about life but at least that it's bigger than my little congregation.

i despised the field service, i dreaded the daily schedule and every morning i was on my way out there was this awful countdown from the alarm going off to the first door opening, knowing that it's just a big setup to another depressing humiliation.

My DF'd brother will never go back!
by AuldSoul in
1. jw
2. experiences
some years ago my brother was disfellowshipped.

not for apostasy, but for more mundane reasons.

he has not had the internet, he has not studied the bible much since being disfellowshipped, he has been feeling guilty and considering returning for the last six months.. i had no way of contacting him, having lost touch in the midst of his many moves.
