Is there a new sense of urgency due to 2012 ?
by av8orntexas ini haven't attended the meetings on a regular basis,since about 2008. a meeting period in about 2 years.. .
probably 6 months ago i ran into a brother, whom was working at a local grocery store.
he was making a delivery as a vendor,somehow we got to talking,religion came up and he found out i am a jw, though i told hime i no longer attend.

Have faded and now crossed another JW line. What should I expect ?
by av8orntexas inmy story,which i dodn't think i ever really told on here is i faded arounf 07-09. i went from an english congregation to a spanish one.. .
that was met by pretty strong opposition from my mother,who for a while tried to force me ( a grown man mind you ) to read the watchtower lesson with her when she would visit,the daily text over the phone when she called, or other asinine things that is expected of the rank and file.
especially men.. the few friends who do know i have fallen away.

Bethelites....a real catch ?
by av8orntexas inok everyone i'm pretty new here and here's my two cents... one thing i could not figure out was...what was the craze with bethelites ?
as a reg pioneer supposedly i was a lock for local sis..but from my point of view sisters practically fell over themselves trying to get a piece of these guys.. myself i was never one to let anyone go unoticed.. i was equal opprotunity..especially for the spanish sis's in the spanish cong..speaking of which have any of you guys ever been to one of the spanish conventions ?
i had to pick my tongue off the ground several times..hehehe.

So what is the REAL deal with the International Convention
by av8orntexas inyou know i was baptized in 96 and all this time my understanding of the international convention is that there is one a year ?
you have to be accepted to go correct ?
i was always put off by that.
