Has an elder ever made a difference in your life?
by monkeyman inok, i've read a lot of horror stories out there about outrageous shepherding calls so i know they exist.
i've also been on several and received 2.. however, as an elder i thought i was pretty capable at helping people and making a difference in their lives.
i've had people tell me so over and over which was quite comforting to me after i was unceremoniously removed.. so here's my question......has anyone out there ever been the recipient of the kind of loving care from elders that made a positive difference in your life?

Rehab has been very interesting, but ended nightmarishly....
by oompa inhi guys...oompa here.
was i in rehab for alcohol addiction or jwd addiction!?!?
!......no computers or cellphones allowed so i have been awol awhile..... ya, i finally made my self sick enough on booze to realize i was really sick and tired of being sick and tired....so checked myself into rehab without any planning at all and while wife was out of town on a family retreat...it was a a very desperate moment in my life, and i was extremely physically and emotionally sick....i was so desperate i took zero time to reseach where to go, but called an old school friend who said rehab had saved his life and he made the calls and actually took me and helped me check in to the place he went to 5 years ago.

Am i correct?
by angel eyes inthis is just an obsevation from me...ok i dont mean to annoy anyone but is it true or just me?.
i feel that ones raised in the truth are so much better of than us who came in from the world.
i say that because they have family who are witnesses too.

Please explain 'inactive'....
by wantstoleave inis being inactive just not being active in the field service?
or does it mean not attending meetings also?
for some reason i thought it only meant not going witnessing.. for instance, years ago i went to every meeting, but not on field service.

Was There Any Song That You Regarded As Special, That Got You In a Good Mood, etc...
by minimus ini love music.
when i was a kid, i had hundreds of cassettes where i taped all my favorite songs.. some songs would give me the chills.
some would be so good, i'd replay them over and over again!
