My mother told me that after I get married, she's going to give me the "Family Happiness" book. I've never read the thing, but I know it's a WTS publication that often gets given or mailed out to newlyweds who aren't in the troof. What's your opinion of this "fine christian publication"?

I'm a never been JW. I read this book. Every non JW should read it because it sure vaccinates you against you ever becoming a JW. Lots of emphasis on headship, wifely subjugation, letting the elders/Watchtower tell you what to do.
It is a "must read" for any woman involved with a JW guy. Is this the life she wants?

How
cheapgenerous of your mom.Tell her you'll probably get more use out of something like a microwave or a blender. At least you can return those to the store if you don't like them and exchange it for something else.
Love, Scully

The book is a filthy, disgusting tribute to male dominance and women's subjugation. A "must read" for any woman thinking of marrying into the faith, or any human being with a bit of empathy.

I found the book quite offensive. I'd give it back.

LOL
I have to agree. Any egalitarian person with any shred of ethics would find the book a disgusting display of a patriarchal religion. I had a hard time sitting through the book studies when this book was being read...It made me reall depressed to be a woman. -

Find it out for yourself. You'll get a one-sided review from this end

Country Girl Tell us how you really feel !
LOL at exparbrit
My suggestion. Use it as a bed foot leveller, so you don't have any reason to interruptus the coitus.
