Crumpet, you moved recently? Why are you living in a tiny attic; is everything OK with you? I hope all is well, and the new place is a lovely upstairs flat!

I had a horrible nightmare one rainy Friday night, that Mom and Dad swooped by in their big four door Witlessing car and dragged me into the back seat. They sped to the territory while I frantically dug in my purse for my cell phone to call my husband. I kept looking out the windows till he pulled up behind us. He said, "Now, she doesn't want to do this, so I'm just bringing her back home with me!" They murmured, "Some other time, dear."
Just a bad dream, of course I wouldn't just happen to be in my driveway on Saturday morning in a skirt, with my purse in hand. Hubby wouldn't just hunt down Mom and Dad's car and rescue me, and they just smile as I shriek and jump into his Jeep. Not to menntion, they live 1700 miles away... dreams can be totally illogical, but string bits and pieces together of things that have been worrying you, into some kind of psychedelic collage. I guess I still don't feel completely safe from the spying and harassment I got from the elders before I packed up and fled out of state.

We had a yard sale today, and we sold almost everything we put out. We can now park in the garage, and we met a lot of nice neighbors! Pleasant day.

My Dad always enjoyed growing a neat goatee while on vacation. He really hated giving it up when we came home, but he was an elder and had talks to give, so that meant he could not have a beard.There was a boy I liked at the Hall when we were both teens, and he was forever being hauled in the back room to be counseled about his hair length. It was (gasp) touching his collar in the back again. When he turned eighteen, he got a good job and promptly moved into a by the week motel. He wanted to escape that badly! Everyone seemed so surprised, that he would quit the meetings.

I managed to apologise to someone I used to shun.
by nicolaou inin fact, over the past year there have been two such instances.
a few weeks ago i was at a depot i visit once a month and i noticed someone who had been disfellowshiped about 8 or 9 years ago.
i waited for him to finish his conversation and then approached him.

MsMcD, hope I didn't offend you about the FMLA. I was wrong to assume you maybe hadn't heard about it. It's just that lots of companies don't exactly want their employees using it, and they kind of keep it hush-hush. Good, at least they can't punish you when you go back. I am sending healing thoughts your way, you are too sweet to stay down long!

Shocking Announcement: Society feels Armaggedon coming this year?
by truthseeker ina rumor alert indeed, but it could be related to the distribution of kingdom news no.37, "false religions end is near.".
the following is posted from e-watchman's forum.. make of it what you will, but in light of all the rhetoric about "deliverance at hand" and "independent thinking", nothing would surprise me anymore.. http://e-jehovahs-witnesses.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1502&st=0 we posted about an announcement it was only local to our cong.
however we have found out that there is going to be an announcement sometime in september and it is supposed to be shocking.

Seek2find, I think you're on to something! Wow, does that make sense! They can grumble around about how soooooon Armageddon is coming, but they wouldn't dare predict another date. Also, they need revenue, so forcing the issue of being required to report time could get more butts out in s
ervitudeservice. Pressure would increase on teens who are lukewarm to get baptized and pioneer, or move out of Mom and Dads house. College would be even more discouraged, as preaching is pushed more aggressively. Peer pressure would ratchet up on Sunday attenders, to get more deeply involved. Yep, this works! Whatever it is, would be in Crooklyn's best interests, and your idea meets their selfish needs very well! -

"Slogging" - the top speed at which JWs go door to door
by LovesDubs ini know this topic has been beat to death probably in here...but i was watching some of the "friends" going down my street the other day (and they categorically skip my house because satan and i are tight you know) and it reminded me so much of how much i hated going door to door and how i prayed when it was my turn to knock that nobody was home.
and we walked down those streets with our little territory cards in hand, making anywhere from meticulous to rediculous notes about the house we were just at...and moving our feet as slowly as we possibly could to maintain a forward motion at all, to eat up the time we were forced to (yes i said forced to) report every month.
field service was what you called the time you spent between when you were at mcdonalds and dunkin donuts.

My Mom had a friend who had all her return visits (back calls, then) out in the country. She had a big Plymouth station wagon, and I rode in the back breathing the sweet country air. We stopped to pick flowers, rest in the shade, and other time wasters. But before we left the Hall for this hard day of witnessing, a kid of eleven or so had to say the prayer. All the sisters had to dig in their purses for proper head coverings, and out came the McDonald's napkins. Ah, the memories!
