What a change! My journey
by Billzfan23 inmy first post was just over 6 months ago - and what a ride it has been.
just want to give a shout out and a big thanks to everyone on the board that has had my back and my best interests in mind over the past few months.
wouldn't have my current balanced perpective on things - and i certainly wouldn't have the peace of mind that i do now without you all!.

Most annoying Kingdom song

Cold shoulder
by Billzfan23 inthis really blows chunks... the wife is giving me the complete cold shoulder because i have not been regular at meetings and because i have not been having the family study.
i am coaching my son's basketball team, and in the wife's eyes i have done a 180 degree turn to being completely "worldly".
she doesn't talk to me, and is completely distant.

How did you handle the medical directive this year
by Billzfan23 inif you are a "fader" like me, how did you handle the medical directive this year?
we have a book study overseer (i am a fader) who insisted that everyone be present together and display their own completed medical directive.
did you faders out there not even fill one out, did you fill it out and throw it away, or do you carry yours and hope you never have to use it?

How many families make up your hall - or old hall?
by Billzfan23 ini was wondering how many families (extended families) make up your congregation or the one that you used to belong to if you are gone... i have been in 3 different congregations in my life, and it seems like in every one of them there were about 4 or 5 families that made up the bulk of the congregation and almost everyone else was related in one way or another to those 4 or 5 families.
for example, in my congregation now about 90% of the hall is related as siblings, spouses, in-laws, cousins, or parents of every publisher.
that seems to be very typical - and as families break down, so do congregations....
