now, while those incidents are indeed disgraceful, they are hardly isolated to the "world".. among my "priveliges" was to be an attendant at a few district conventions.

Yeah I remember the Cold Cup Room at Hawthorne Park. It was a waste of time trying to get those seats because even if you were the first to get to them they were already saved by those privledge brothers that were already inside before the doors opened. I remember saving some seats one time and some other family just threw our books on the floor. Now mind you these were not special seats just seats in the back row and the family that took them were very over weight and I guess it would have killed them to walk down a few steps to seats that were not taken. I even asked them why did you throw our books on the floor and they just stared forward and would not answer me...I called them assholes and had to go get some other seats. That was the last time I ever went to an assembly there.

Are you a fader, Df'd, DA'd, or Still In?

by brotherdan in

i thought this would be an interesting poll that would show everyone the backgrounds of all of us when we left, if we have.. for myself, i am not df'd, but i am attempting a fade.

i still go to some meetings with the wife to help with kids, but that's it.

no commenting or field service.. what about everyone else?.

DF'd in December 6th 2006. Funny how I can't remember the day I was baptised but no problem remembering when they announced I was no longer a JW.

AFC & NFC Championship Games

by Iron Head in

next post....

As a Bears fan let me say that when Jay Cutler gets his MRI there better be something torn in his knee. If no damage found I think he better pack his bags and get out of Chicago as the Fans will never forgive him for being a whimp and sitting out the 2nd half of the NFC Championship game!

I was at a bar with friends and family watching the game, one of my friends had a Jim McMahon jersey on. I pointed at the name on the jersey and told everyone, "That guy would have NEVER sat out the game and you would have had to carry him off the field"!

My hats off to our 3rd string QB Hainey who actually came in almost led the Bears to a comeback...He showed he had the tougness and most important the HEART to get in there and try to win! Cutler showed us how to sit on the sidelines and pout like a baby...he does not have the intestinal fortitude to play in the NFL.

Merry Christmas

nothing profound in this thread.. just a simple "merry christmas" to those here who no longer consider it as something evil to be avoided.. the message goes out especially to those on the board:.

-- who never were allowed to celebrate christmas growing up.

-- who weren't allowed to say "merry christmas" back to "worldlies" who said it to them.

Merry Christmas to all!

My Emotions are Like a Limp Dish rag - S.F. Giants Championship Parade !

by flipper in

the 2010 baseball world championship giants had a parade today in san francisco - 1.5 million fans lining the streets for the first championship since 1954 !

my wife and i watched on the comcast network millions of championship years starved fans lining the streets celebrating this awesome team who played like a team looking out for each other with all 25 players- not just 1 expensive free agent with a massive size ego .. when my son was 12 years old in 1997 i took him to see a classic giants/dodgers game at candlestick park fighting for first place and the giants beat the dodgers on brian johnson's 12th inning home run & rod beck got out of a bases loaded no out jam to put the giants into 1st place in late september that year !

we were high fiving giants fans we had never met- such a unifying force !.

Congrats on your Giants World Series Championship! As a White Sox fan I was glad to see Uribe and Rowand get another ring. Giants pitching reminded me of the White Sox pitching in '05 when they won it all, absolutely lights out!

What would you do?

by wasblind in

this has not happened to me personally ,but was told to me by a reinstated member.

a sister who was reinstated, accompanied her mom to another sisters house for dinner.

and a movie.

iceguy

I am thankful that my Mom always put her kids first and would have told that sister off! When my sister was df'd twice my mom never shunned her or stopped going out in public with her, going out to eat,shopping, etc. Looking back now I think my Mom stopped beleiving it all but just could'nt tell anyone.
