It is weird. They will not pray for you. They are cold as stone after they reach thier decision. I had to wait 6 weeks for mine to be announced, because of District Conventions.

whenever i went to my judicial committee (over 3 years ago), the elders opened with a prayer for jehbooboo's guidance.
then they followed up with their loyalty question, "do you believe in the faithful and discreet slave?".
of course i answered "no", and shortly thereafter i handed over my disassociation letter.

so i'm young enough to not remember having hot prepared meals at assemblies, but heard all about it from my parents and the like.
but what i do remember were all of the cold sandwiches and institutional snacks and soda.
remember the food tickets we started to use?

Okie dokey,
I couldn't modify the last post, but mine is Magic and Loss by Lou Reed. I have had a lot of losses in death the past year, and this music grounds me.

I sure hope he puts on a bigger rudder. A huge design flaw on the original.

in the last 4 months my eyes have been opened to ttatt, my biggest issue is that the elders have been grooming me to appoint me as an elder.
Start missing meetings and drop off the pioneer roles. Use depression as an excuse.
zed
he suggests that just as elders are given a package for fighting court custody cases (what to say do bring etc).
those facing a jc should have a package for dealing with a situation where the elduhs want to "talk with you.".
hows about we start to make one?.
It all depends on what the individual would like to accomplish in the JC meeting. Do they want to avoid getting DFed? What are they being called into the JC for? Do they want to avoid the JC altogether?

i was wondering if anyone has a pdf of the book,.
'the even tide' by.
john aquila brown.. it is out of print it seems.
