Do you miss "dressing up" for the meetings?
by dozy ini was thinking about this the other day when doing a bit of tidying up of my wardrobe.
all the kh suits are now pushed to the back of the wardrobe and i am seriously thinking about a visit to the charity shop to get rid of most of them.. for me one of the (few) enjoyable aspects of being a jw was getting dressed up.
my secular work very rarely involves putting on a dress suit & tie so i miss getting dressed up - smart suit , tie , shiny shoes , slapping on the aftershave.

Sad Family News.....
by AK - Jeff inon friday morning, sometime before noon, my former son-in-law [for lack of better term, for he and my daughter were never married], father and custodial parent of my middle granddaughter, was found dead of an overdose of pain-medication.
perhaps oxycontin, though i am unsure of the specific drug at the moment.. he was enduring pain from an accident with his moped [yes, he was lifetime license removed for drinking] that occurred a year or so back.
his shoulder was injured and he had a surgery scheduled soon.

The Man with Golden Voice
by tenyearsafter innot that it is particularly pertinent to anything, did anyone catch the today show yesterday featuring ted williams (the man with the golden voice) where he was reunited with his 90 year old mother?
seems ted was raised in a very religious household with a jw dad, and mom couldn't understand how ted could have grown up to be such a huge disappointment to the family.
it just seemed an odd thing to bring up during a "poignant" reunion..
