not so harsh nowadays in conning u into witnessing???
by pippy ini was talking to my mum yesterday, who has been sick for about a year and hasnt been to a meeting in 8 months, due to having most of her stomach removed and esophegus because of a malignant tumor.
she says she doesnt want to go back for a while because she might get sick from the germs in the aircon and all the people , i think this is valid, coming from her , but i think there is more to it.
she said that a couple fo elders went over for a sheparding call the other night and went through a computer print out on persistance.

I got a Memorial invitation today
by Flowerpetal inwell, i let my feelings about some things seep out today when an elder came by to invite me to the memorial.
of course, this elder, whom my husband and i have known for over 20 yrs, is one who i think jumps around on subjects, no matter what they are concerning, and doesn't stick or listen to the thoughts that anyone wants to express so when i tried to express mine...my reason why i am not attending the memorial, although i haven't for the past 3 yrs., he brings my dead mother into it..saying she would be pleased if i would come back to the hall or at least to memorial because his agenda was to get me to say i was coming to the memorial.
i started telling him not to put that on me but he didn't hear me because he kept on and on in his own thought patterns, stating that the society says we are in the last of the last days...so i asked, how many "lasts" are they going to put on the last days?

NWT bible at Goodwill
by Jim_TX inmy wife and i frequent the local goodwill's here, and today when we went in, i took a look in the display case where they keep items - and groups of items - that customers can bid on.
they then take the highest bid, and contact the person - who then goes in and pays for the items.. anyway - today, among the groups of items there were 2 dinner plates, embossed with jesus or some other catholic-related images.
there was also a large off-white catholic bible - and last but not least - a black, gold embossed new world translation of the holy scriptures.. i don't know if i am the only one here who sees the irony of this or not... it's all behind a locked glass door, too - so no jw can go and remove the bible - so as to not be associated with the catholics.. i laughed when i saw it - and commented about it to my wife.

Remembering My First KM
by Crooked Lumpy Vessel ini remember my bible instructor inviting me to a school meeting and giving me my very own 'our kingdom ministry' she sternly instructed me that this magazine was not for the public.
it should have been my first clue that there were documents to lure people in and other documents strickly for brainwashing.. i showed up in sweat pants.
i remember pulling someone aside and saying 'i thought they said it was a school?
