  Service on holidays= unannounced visitors

  its thanksgiving- that means all those who went out in service today come over to harrass those who are "spiritually weak".. 2 car groups have already stopped by, plus they said the co is going to stop by this afternoon.... they first off, dont call before they stop by and then they bring the whole car group in.. i have gotten texts from witnesses hoping to see me at meeting tonight since the co is in town.. why dont they just do some door-to-door?

  if you dont want to do that on a holiday, dont go out in service!.

  dont come and bug me because you dont want to knock on doors of "wordly" people.. witnesses feel they have the right to intrude in your life at anytime.

  Can I throw cold water on them when they come to the door without going to jail. Is that considered assault?

  As annoying they are, I don't think they warrant having water thrown on them. If someone did that to my JW relative, I would not be amused!

  my family and i will be heading to california next week to go to disneyland.

  we have two children under 4, so i was thinking about bringing at least one stroller.. what is the weather like in november?

  would a sweatshirt be warm enough, or a light winter coat?

  My sister and I went there as fully grown adults in our 20s and 30s and loved every minute of it. After a childhood of watching "The Wonderful World of Disney" every Sunday night, going on the rides we'd seen on the show, envying the kids on those rides, was a dream come true.

  Go and have a GREAT time. Having kids with you will help you see things through their eyes. It can be tiring but a lot of fun as well.

  I beg to differ about your beg to differ

  Actually, I may have got the name wrong. I am talking about the second bird pic where the parrot is closer to the camera. It's definately a green parrot that looks like this:

  The green parrot is the Australian King parrot. They're found on the eastern side of Australia.

  I often see them on grassy patches looking for worms.

  i remember in my kingdom hall one of our 5 elders bro.

  "smith" had a gossipy wife sis "smith" who would be known to gossip from the time she enter the hall until she left.

  i don't know how she never was reproved or counseled for her gossiping.

  true BP, the question was whether the cong would allow the husband to continue to serve with that going on in his house

  I'm well aware what the question was. I was replying to the other posters who were generalising about all elders wives being gossipers. My point was that they're not all gossipers.

  Capice?

  If you have native flora the birds will be attracted to the blossoms.

  I have native shrubs and trees outside my bedroom window. The birds like to perch in them and sing... they start at 4.30 in the morning!!!

  People would come to my mother (an elder's wife) to gossip, thinking she knew all the latest goss.

  She didn't and would say so too. She didn't like gossip and if she did know something, she wouldn't talk about it.

  So not ALL elders' wives gossip.

  You wife's hu-hu closes up and she loses all desire in you.
