  HELP! Trying to convince my parents I am going to meetings!

  by stillAwitness in

  a few weeks ago i posted about about how my parents have been asking about wether or not my card has been sent to my "new congregation" since i moved out in july.

  up until now, i have been stalling not knowing wether or not i wanted to just come out and say "i have not been going to meetings" or not take any action at all.

  well someone left an interesting piece of advice on my thread that i have been contemplating doing.that maybe, perhaps i should just have my card sent to a congregation that isn't anywhere near the actual city i live in.

  Minimum age of 27-28 to be appointed an elder...where does it say that in the Bible?? Lots of them are immature goofballs still living with Mommy at that age, while others of 25 or so could be very mature! Guess the Holly Spear-it will decide. Or wait! No, gotta go by the rules. If he ain't 27, it's thumbs down from heaven.

  This is fascinating reading! We had an elder at my last Post Office, who demanded to be accomodated for meeting nights and ass-emblies. He would wait till the week of summer convention was already taken, then demand the time off anyway. It really hurt the business when he did this. Sometimes, when we called mandatory overtime, he'd refuse to pitch in because it was meeting night. The other mail carriers really resented him when he pulled this.

  He claimed the company had to accomodate him or he could sue, and it appears from reading the cases that he was right.

Why did I ever think it was so bad to send and receive beautiful cards? Anyone else starting to see cards in their mailbox yet, and isn't it a nice surprise?

  (Thank you, Aude and Sassy! )

  Tonight's service meeting

  what a load of crap- 10 min.

  asking for more contributions in order to build more kh and reminded everyone not only to give cash but don't forget about leaving something for them in your will.. 25 min.

  on the proper use of blood which is also a joke.. the km mentioned you cannot take the four components of blood individually in your body but every component was broken into smaller fractions which is up to you to make a decision to accept or reject.. the common jw does not know their left from their right in making decisions about the dozens of fractions of blood but they will obey blindly and not ask a question because that would be considered apostasy.. .

  I vote we take up a collection (donation arrangement) so that Crumpy can fly about the world, raising her top in various Kinkdumb Hell windows! Imagine the jaws dropped and the eyeballs popping as she flutters past, and the elderettes dig their claws into their husbands arms, restraining them from running after Crumpet, International Harlot of Revelation!

  SHOULDN'T THE GREAT TRIBULATION HAVE STARTED?

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  um, wasn't the "special tract" that was being placed in october and november suppose to cause great outrage amongst false religion, in particular the catholic church?

  weren't theys supposed to demand that the government ban jehovah's witnesses?

  surely something would have been written in the newspapers or be on cnn about all the governments of the world going ahead and banning all religions, or did i blink and miss that?

  C'mon, now Mary, if you are gnashing your teeth, you will likely bite the dentist. Not very Christian, is it? I highly recommend the new dentistry with sedation like I had last week. I didn't do any gnashing or biting, and was able to maintain my Christian sister demeanor.

  This is the only place I don't feel ugly

  by Abandoned in

  i want to thank everyone here for all the help and kind words offered to me as i adjust to having worth.

  i guess i have a long way to go and i guess i'm going to have to go and see a counselor like someone else suggested.. no matter how hard i work or what i accomplish, i still feel so ugly and i'm still afraid of the stupidest things.

  i don't know if my fears are on par with paranoia, but they are definitely distracting and i need to get some outside assistance.. the good news is that around here, with people who've gone through the same, i feel better.

  Well, Abandoned...please don't take this wrong, because I'm a married woman, but if your avatar is your real picture, I don't think you're ugly at all!

  I totally understand not having confidence in yourself, tho. I get nervous alot in social situations and keep convincing myself I'm as good as anyone else. It's a holdover from that awful religion, that made us feel inferior and taught us we needed the elders to make our decisions for us. now, we're out of practice and have toget our legs again, so to speak.

  You'll be fine!

  i'm a licenced practical nurse (working on my rn degree), and i work as a cosmetic dermatology specialist.

  i see about 10 to 16 patients per day, doing things like laser hair removal treatments, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, skin care consultations, etc.

  That's wonderful, liking your job, making good money, and helping people all at the same time! Wish I could say the same. I make good money, but am miserable and don't have the satisfaction of doing something good in my shift. Interesting career idea, thanks.
