Thinking of visiting a Kingdom Hall after 20 years in disguise
by not bitter ini have been to my old kh for 2 funerals since i left 20 yrs ago but i don't think they count.
so i am thinking of visiting a different hall on a sunday for the public talk and wt study.
i want to go just to remind myself how simple minded it is and to hopefully help me appreciate how wonderful and free my life now is.

calling all elders - what goes on at the week long elders school?
by not bitter inmy dad is currently attending a week long elders school.
dad is in his 70's and not in great health at the moment so this is adding to my anger that he is having to leave the house at 7am and doesn't return until 6pm and then has to lock himself away to study further in preparation for the next day.. he has also been told he is not to discuss anything about the school with other elders until they have all attended.
what are they learning about that isnt' already out there for all to read anyway.. they can't be learning more bible stuff as the bible is there to be read by the general public so i can only assume that its all top secret stuff that the rest of the congregation can't know about.
