Given that the ratio of sisters to brothers in the JWs is 1:5 in some places, it is no wonder that the young woman decided to marry someone older.
Being 30, she probably can hear the old maternal clock ticking, and figured that this is one way she could have a baby.
Also, he probably represents security, both financially and spiritually. Most young bros these days are either window cleaners or shop boys, so it helps to be married to someone who might have a little bit set aside.
Those that revolt at the thought of young women marrying older bros, do it revolt you also to see Sean Connery kissing Catherine Zeta-Jones? Or Robert Redford (who is now close to 70, if not older) kissing some other young chick?
I hope the D.O. and his new wife have many happy years together doing what they apparently both love to do. There are good things to a May/December union and I wish them all the best!!!
Its not at all uncommon...the 30ish sister was scared of ending up a spinster..she was settling if you look at it physically. But truth is...she prolly thinks herself lucky to have scored the 'catch' of the day. Its just the usual technique where the dodohead sleeps her way to the top...she marries the PO DO WhateverO...and wakes up in the morning as one of the prominent ones who takes the lead in the army of sisters!
She just elevated her status as a JW 1,000 fold by marrying a DO...what a snag. The only way to move up the JW corporate ladder as a woman is to marry a young hopeful and work like hell on him until he makes something of himself. She was able to sidestep years and years of misery as a pioneering elder's wife. WoooHooo!
btw...I wonder if they watch Woody Allen movies together.
This dude doesn't have a pot to piss in or a window to heave it out!
She married him for one reason: his status and power with in Borg
There was a show on National Geographic about a bunch of wolves...this female wolf had no mate and was the punching bag of the whole den. Then, the alpha male's mate died and he 'chose' her as his next mate.
Suddenly the low woman on the totem pole became Alpha Bitch. And my how the other bitches in the wolf pack had to grovel at her feet!
That's all she did. Now all the other 'spiritual minded' sisters who are married to MS or Elders have to kiss her ass!
And what a fine example to those waiting on Jehovah! {TM) See how he provided? [8>]
She's a gold digging sell out bitch. If she was worldly she woulda been a groupie.
Jws gossip too much! It may be part of being members of a rather sheltered group... but really. I work for the Social Security Administration as a teleservice representative. In that capasity, I encounter many marriages where in 1 spouse is double the age of the other. The most extreme example that comes to mind is a woman who called to claim mother with child in care benefits for herself, and surviving child's benefits for her Son. She was 22, her deceased husband was 79. That's 57 years folks. The couple had been married for four years. And, hey, there's Tony Randal. How many post 70 babies has he sired? Not to mention Larry (jese I'm crazy as a loon) King. Just be hopeful and wish the best for the both of them.
