Those of you stuck in with kids&question about spouse

it is killing me now that i am awake, having kids in school and having to be jws.

birthdays, christmas, thanksgiving, having to go home or be left out because their teachers know they are witnesses and/or have kids from the school in their class or grade.

it's a small town so the other jws in the hall know what's going on since their kids are in the same school.

A short list of inconsistencies

does anyone have a short list of inconsistencies or can write some out for me, from both the bible and wt doctrine.

things such as: jobs test and noah's ark not being enough for gods sovereignty, why not just let adam and eve die without having children, tower of babel after the flood, jws can die at armageddon yet even satan gets more time.

the ultimate stopper for me is when people say its about jehovahs kingdom and sovereignty and we preach to save the wicked.

A real chat with my brother

my brother called to chat, which is shocking from the man of few words, off the cuff i let him know last weekend i learned that the outrageous socks he wears are inappropriate.

i let him know i would no longer be associating with him and the fact that he has been inactive for the past 10 years he has blood on his hands and i didnt want that dripping all over my freshly cleaned floors.

i also told him the internet was no longer naughty, but the fact that he wasn't an ms ever, showed his lack of spiritual maturity.

Question for those attending mid week

by All for show in

do you all know how many attend vs sundays?

talking to friends and family all find it so boring/difficult to sit through they say their meeting midweek attendance is about 50 percent less than sundays, with at least 15 percent of those leaving at the half.

we have had 3 local needs this year on staying the entire meeting, but people still leave, happily.

the rumor mill and insight from this website has me dreaming of slipping out some, " my friend at bethel ( i have a few but their nobodies) told me coming up they are changing 144k, our name thus the logo changes, and the number of gb members".

would i get in trouble, could elders legitimately talk to me?

who are they if i have info from someone higher up and in new york?
