  like a thousand years is a long time, and people are supposed to be gettin perfect n stuff during this time, and the earth is supposed to be gettin all perfectionized.... so satan can f- - - it all up again?.

  Excuses to miss the meeting that won't raise suspicion of a fade

  by kairos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the first step to fading is to begin missing the meetings.. "if" anyone misses you, a quality excuse must be at the ready.

  this will produce empathy toward you as opposed to suspicion.. 1. car problems ( don't mention that you caused them ).

  2. stuck on the phone resolving insurance, billing, etc issues.. 3. sick ( of the meetings ).

  Whether I believe the blood doctrine or not, I'm never donating blood.

  Relief Efforts for Typhoon in Manila (Philippines)

  i find articles like this (click very frustrating to read.

  when i read reports on how charity was delivered, i am expecting to read numbers that will give me an idea of how money was used for such relief.

  unfortunately, the information provided is simply not enough to provide any ball park idea of what was actually spent.

  I can confirm StarTrekAngel's assessment. 

  I was in the same area at the time, and our congregation received the same letter.

  Later, where I currently live, the same letter came during Katrina and then later, Ike.

  i don't typically hear from my mom often, but i tell you, over the past couple of weeks, i have heard from her several times.

  you heard the comment about "our way of worship will be altered" and thank you for your posts by the way....but yesterday, she calls and is asking about the kids and then, in typical jw fashion mind you, says:.

  "you know, you should really get back to meetings.
