Guess What? I Got ANOTHER Visit From An Elder Today
by minimus intoday, an elder stopped by my work just to say hello and invite me to the memorial!
he asked me if the presiding overseer had called me yet because he and another elder were going to give me a call at home to set up a visit.
he said they (the elders) decided this on their elder's meeting last night.......so what do you think is going to happen when i tell them i'm not going to allow them to make a "shepherding" call???

It worked well for me Minimus. Tell them that if you need/want to talk to them you know where they are and that they'd be glad to help. Firm but polite - it's hard for them to get round that wall.

Both too heavy for me, I'm a Stella kinda guy.
This sort of tittle tattle on the board puts me right off using it. As I've already said to Minimus, these flippant accusations turn it in to Salem. Here in Scotland accusations of witchcraft were proven false when the person drowned.

Thanks for not mentioning the Calcutta Cup. I used to go to the matches, then I watched them on tv, now I make sure I'm out of reach all day.

Has anyone ever munched at the memorial?
by Sirius Dogma ini have always wanted to do that at a kingdom hall.
over the past few years i celebrated pesach (passover) with some jewish friends and it was so cool to be able to munch the food.
besides the jewish tradition was much more fun and was more like a party.

Ken, drinking the entire bottle would be easy, but a whole box of crackers is more of a challenge,
My family run a contract cleaning company (what a surprise) and one year we had this one employee (non JW) who came to the Memorial He was someone's magazine route call. He was a lovely guy, had fought in Burma, but was an absolute fright to look at and smelled terrible. I was one of the servers (thrill) and as I passed the bread to his row I just knew he was going to eat it. I contemplated shouting "Touch the biscuits and you're fired!" but kept my mouth shut. He took a few really large pieces and proceeded to eat them. Of course his mouth was dry as he noisily masticated and I struggled with the giggles. He refused the wine as he held that he was teatotal (a fib).
This same guy had a lot of respect for my dad, and after my dad died he told me that his spirit used to come and visit him when he cleaned his one car park. Why my ghostly dad visited one of our staff and not me I'll never understand.
p.s. apologies to any that find this discussion irreverent.

It's a congregational choice, usually the elder who's giving the talk arranges it. Bought biscuits and bought wine in this part of the world. My father would choose a wine he would enjoy later, and it was always pretty cheap. It always intrigued me that on the packaging of the matzos it read "NOT FOR PASSOVER USE." Jewish tradition for the unleavened bread seemed much stricter.

I recently had the thought that this would be an ideal way of disrupting the memorial. If 3 or 4 of us sat in a row we could polish a glass of wine iff and finish the biscuits. It would mean they'd have to restock half way through and it would disturb that wierd holy holy atmosphere that occurs.
We ate the matzos and polished off the bottle after the memorial every year my dad took it. Wasn't very exciting.

My baptism back into the world - my story
by a wee scots lass ini was raised in 'the truth ' from the age of 9, when my parents came 'into the truth'.
i was the perfect little witness girl, went out in field service - without complaint, gave talks (well the way you do in two's when you are female!
), i was even on the list of people they called on when someone did not turn up to give their talk and would get up with only 30 min prep time!
