additional thoughts
by Marilyn inafter my earlier post i've realised that this is all too complicated.

the memorial and the blood doctrine.
with the memorial the witnesses seem to place disproportionate attention and energy on getting people to attend it.

What's the point of the Awake?
by Marilyn inadmittedly it's been a long time since i've read an awake and i can't remember much about what's in it but doesn't it contain a bunch of superficial articles with a general interest theme?
like a poor mans readers digest?
i was recently wondering what the purpose of the awake is?

Emptying the cupboards of litter-ature?
by Marilyn ini'm wondering how many of you took a while to gather up the courage to dispose of your cupboard loads of watchtowers and awakes, that you'd stored away for........safe keeping????.
we probably hung on to ours for a few months and then we burned them.
there was a tinge of apprehension about it, but it was generally a very satisfying activity.

Question for ex elders
by Marilyn ini'm wondering if any of you ex elders ever felt embarrassed or awkward about having to stick your noses into other peoples business did it ever seem like that to you, or were you of the mind that you were a necessary part of the lives of the flock?

Who was a squeaky clean dub?
by Marilyn ini'm wondering if the majority here were seriously conservative squeaky clean dubs?
i took the whole thing very seriously.
there seems to be such a fun element here - i can't imagine everyone being those dull folk all decked out in their wt uniform with accompanying plastic expressions.. marilyn
