Woke up and found out my gas was stolen....
by FreedomFrog inkids came home from their dads this morning and zach said, "mom, did you know your gas door and cap was off?
" so i sprinted downstairs and investigated....i had just over 1/2 tank and now over night i'm down around 1/8 tank...i'll report it to the management but i don't think the police will do anything since it's not over a certain amount lost.
my car doors were locked and i don't see damage on the outside.

Former JW in Houston

Would You Go Back?
by Dune inyesterday, my aunt was talking to one of my siblings about how things have been changing in our [ex] congregation for the 'better'.. she mentioned how a new circuit overseer has come in and is shaking things up.
the co appointed a ministerial servant (someone, the po & secretary didn't like and i know would never have voluntarily suggested appointment) and some of the 'brothers' that have had no 'responsibility' ever are being given #4 talks.
she also mentioned that the book study will be cancelled and the meetings are being shortened.. a ministerial servant who had a vendetta against some of the elders wants me to talk to a co and basically tell him i left the congregation [and the religion] because of the incompetence of the elders.. i'm not talking to the co and i'm not 'blaming' anyone.
