LOL In a language unknown to you I'm sure. :.) Jan

Hey Oldiesman, does your cat...well you know.. by any chance...speak in tongues? Sorry I could not resist. LOL Jan

I can relate to 2,3 and 5 specially. Jan

Well my husband wanted a house cause other military people had them, and he wanted his own. So yeah, that part of life is over, but I'd always thought if someone who had the ability to advise you LIVED with you; you'd be talking about the ins and outs of a decision. We don't live in a home of our own right now, we'd lost too much money before... Jan

Well I've had nothing as dramatic as some of these instances, but I can say we possibly had bad counsel. We lived with our BC in town, and we were thinking of buying a home. He said go for it. Looking back on it, I wish he'd advised against it, as we ended up going to Germany with the army and it was difficult to sell, and then we did not want to move back there anyways. He could have told us to rent a home instead. Jan

I've heard this said before: the word of God is free, but the pipeline that carries it often is not free. Since you are out of the Way, what would you be paying money for?? Unless you order books about something you want to learn more about. I've done that. Books, tapes, that kind of thing. Jan

I don't know about errors; the book was certainly realistic. Jan

He's answered me several times. Jan

It's definitely worth your time to read it. I read it over Labor Day weekend. Granted,he seems to be atheist, but I enjoyed his personal recollections as well as documentary. Jan

I was in since 1977-1991 Highest "level" achieved was twig coordinator for 6 years. No higher than that. Few repercussions. Guess I did not have the "right" kinds of "friends". LOL (barfs in barfbag) Jan

I know what you mean. I got flashbacks when I read the book too and remembered things people said to me. I remember I was at a ROA and was new and he basically humiliated me in front of other people! I guess I was shocked more than anything, but did not leave the ministry then because I was convinced that "there was no place like this anywhere". :.( Jan

Is JW what I think it is? (Jehovah's W?) So did you choose a baptist church then? Jan
