Got this letter
by Yesterdays Child inthroughout the years after having come to know through your marriage to my daughter you have been a very kind and thoughtful person, sometimes more than my own son.
i don't think that a mother-in-law could want a finer person for a son than you.
however, it is very unfortunate that i will have to change the way that i will relate to you now and in the future.

Contact from the witnesses since leaving & I am angry !
by mattnoel ini have been looking through the site and noticed that a lot of you have had trouble with the witnesses since leaving.
i know when i was on the way out they wanted to meet up with me about half a dozen times, and i had various phone calls to try and stop me but since then i have not heard any more from them.
although i must admit there are still a couple who keep in touch with me via e mail and they let me know what is going on in the cong.

"Who is to blame--you or your genes?"
by Kenneson inthat is the name of the first article on the left hand of the page at http://www.watchtower.org .
interestingly, the article wants to lay the root of all mankind's troubles to adam: "while generations of adam's offspring are not responsible for adam's sin, they nevertheless are all born with sin, imperfection, and death as their inherited lot.
" we are further told that adam & eve's sin did not originate in their genes.

31 things I don't miss about the meetings!
by Noumenon in1. having to sit through 3 of them a week, year after year after year.. 2. talking to the same old faces after every meeting, year after year after year.. 3. tolerating nerdy speakers, often with irritating speech and nasal habits.
many over-emphasing and spending an excessive amount of time on some pet insignificant point and glossing over main points.. 4. quietly fuming at speakers going over time on the service meeting when one is tired and cranky and dying to get home.. 5. cold, draughty kingdom halls with the crudest and cheapest heating and airconditioning installed, if any at all.. 6. attendants (beagles) who go opening up all the windows at half time, or sooner, when it's chilly outside and everyone was just starting to feel comfortable.. 7. feeling guilty cause i never bothered to stay behind to vacuum, dust, or clean the bog when it was our bookstudy's turn.. 8. screaming brats, babies, and fidgety obnoxious kids who squirm, move, whinge, and kick my chair through the entire meeting.. 9. people constancy whispering and talking to each other thru the meeting.. 10. twerps who habitually turn up 10 minutes late every meeting and insist on sitting up the front.. 11. being bored witless with watchtower studies on some dull, dry, doctrinal subject, or some touchy feely, lovey-dovey, emotional subject.
counting the paragraphs to see how much torture remains before escaping back home.
