ELDERS: Are you giving a wedding talk this weekend?
by becca1 inheard an interesting comment at a wedding reherasal i am attending out of town.. the elder, joking around during the rehersal, said:" did you know the wedding ring is a pagan symbol?
funny how they pick and choose which pagan things to use.
" i was taken aback and wondered if that elder is here.

Remember how great the get-togethers were in the 1980's??
by PaNiCAtTaCk ini remembers skating parties at least once a month, volleyball at the park, get-togethers where everyone would play bible charades and sing kingdoms songs, going to the river to swim with the whole congregation after the sunday meeting, spending the afternoon at the lake eating watermelon and water skiing.
it was a great upbringing!
also, i dont want to leave out the strong feelings of eliteness that i had even as a child, of having the truth.

Why didn't someone warn me?
by slimboyfat inmy god i thought i was going to have a heart attack!
why didn't someone warn me there was going to be a talk on "how to identify an apostate" tonight?.
well i am just lucky the brother didn't mention the tell tale signs of firstly, clutching your chest at the surprise when you hear title of the talk, then grabbing hold of the seat like you are on a nose-diving airplane for its duration.

Fixing Yourself
by KW13 inafter the dubs, i found i had to 'rebuild myself' and discover who i actually was, anything prior to the dubs is usually well gone and a chance for a life requires sheer dedication.. fortunately i used some of the the things i was taught as a dub (like standing my ground when i firmly believe something) and managed to pull through like all of you have done or are doing .
its a pity such an org exists as the wbt society...if i had the chance to end it now i wouldn't pass on it..

My Re-instatement Letter
by Hangin_on inthis is weird.
i searched on the internet for ideas for my re-instatement letter and after gathering my information i submitted it.
the local body of elders questioned some of the information on it asking if it was from my heart and asking where i got it.

Things YOU eat, that other people think is weird.
by misanthropic inthis mornings events have got me thinking about things.
i love peanut butter, not the sweet kind but i like the old fashioned peanut butter, usually laura scudder's with no sugar or preservatives - it just tastes better imo.
i put it on everything including pancakes which are really good with peanut butter and maple syrup.
