Hope4Others - I just love REM and Michael Stipe in particular; he is so cool and enigmatic
Berean - Hotel Califorinia is an all time classic. Desparado is also a great Eagles track

There can be no better anthem for X-witnesses.....

i am sure for many of us who placed our dreams with the watchtower's empty promises, it is the perfect anthem.. .

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well somethinegs lost, but somethings gained
In living evry day
Ive looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
Its life's illusions I recall
I really dont know life at all
Ive looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its life's illusions I recall

X-Witnesses and Faders - have you had a help them return visit yet?
by eyeslice inwith the watchtower study about helping 'lost sheep' return, i have been half expecting a visit.
i have mentally rehearsed how i should handle the situation, which is fairly tricky as i still have family in.
but no call yet.

I haven't had a visit in over two years. I think, like Oompa, the local elders are frightened of me because I know too much of what has gone on in the past and somehow seem to find out everything that still goes on, as many of the old 'friends' still confide in me.
My wife is still a model Witness. She attends all the meeting and goes out in field service and is always available to help other sisters in the congregation. She is no way dogmatic or pushy about her religious views. But since I have stepped down as an elder she hasn't had any recognition for all her hard work. I had a go at a coupe of elders about this the last time they visited me, why they had never asked her to do a Service Meeting demo since I stepped down, why no one pops in for coffee when they are on the ministry, etc. but all I got was slightly guilty looks.

But no call yet. I just don't think they are really bothered - they just give lip service to love and concern but in reality they just answer what is expected at the Watchtower study. They are no different from any other 'Sunday Christians'.

Were you Raised by an " Elder " Father in the Witnesses ?
by flipper inas i mentioned on another thread , it was very uncommon to ever get any commendation or recognition for any " good" accomplishments i ever did.
you know the jesus expression, " we are good for nothing slaves- what we have done is what we ought to have done.
" ridiculous.

No but I was raised by a Ministerial Servant and I must say that overall I had a great childhood. I became and elder myself and raise 4 kids in the 'truth' But I could see the whole thing starting to fall apart for kids. As a kid growing up I had lots of privileges and responsibilties but I saw nothing for my kids; general the organisation has no regard for young ones today - they certainly don't trust them.
I have encouraged by kids to go to University and get an education. That was one of the many reasons I decided to leave.

We went to see it last week and really enjoyed it.
We have been to Mumbai 5 or 6 times, and we lived in India in the late 90's so have a feel for the location and the culture. A very clever put together story and the acting from the kids was outstanding. Finally, don't jump up to go when the credits start at the end or you'll miss the only Bollywood style song and dance routine at the end.
