Another JW gem to make you feel like sh@t. I know of disaster marriages in WT. Marrying a JW isn't a guarantee. I know of JW's married to "worldly men" and the men are awesome husbands, fathers and friends. I know of JW's married to JW's and their separated, divorced or in a miserable marriage. This is the G in FOG....GUILT! More JW BS.

Thank you. Sorry...just trying to help. I would recommend going to the source that I provided just for this reason.
WT Library. Kingdom Ministry Dec 2008 and Jan 2009.
You will notice their formatting is not aligned. I do not have time to put in a chart. If you have the time, you would provide a great service to the forum.
The top of the chart states: Av. Hrs. Av. Mags. Av R.v Av Bi. St. Hope this helps.

Cross-dressing Jehovah's Witness raped and molested girl
by cobweb inhttp://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/cross-dressing-jehovahs-witness-raped-13311020.
a cross-dressing jehovah’s witness raped and molested a girl while making her wear adult women’s clothes.. david fuge, 69, wore dresses and silky underwear when he repeatedly abused his blindfolded victim from the age of eight to 19.. .
liverpool crown court heard he gagged her and on one occasion tied a belt around her neck and left her hanging from a hook in a room.. he photographed the child naked, made her read pornographic magazines, beat her with a piece of wood and abused her at a golf course.. .

I had a friend call me last year telling me about an Elder in his hall who is in jail still, who molested his daughter. Funny how when I talk to my friend now, he NEVER mentions it anymore. He went dead silent. They are being coached by the Elder body to not "bring reproach upon Jehovah's name." They sweep this disgusting crime under the rug. If WT is so innocent, why won't they bring forth the documents that the court is requesting? If you have nothing to hide, why not reveal the documents?
The JW's just don't want to come to terms that this is a disgusting crime.

Thank you for the info. When I used to go to Cleveland years ago, They would have 3 - 6 weeks of conventions with over 12 - 15,000 each. Now I see they only have 3 scheduled for this year. "Don't Give Up!" Looks like many already have!

Becoming a jw actually made me a much more worldly person.
by lancelink ini was raised a catholic from birth to age 15, that's when my dad started to study with some jw's that came to our door.
i was too young/ naive to notice how my lifelong friends were slowly being replaced with so called " outstanding spiritual youths".. anyway, there was randy and kevin, the sons of the po from the hall, everyone thought that they were the most spiritual people i could hang out with.
these guys taught me the fine points of :.

I agree. Some of the witness kids I grew up with were in more mischief than the kids at school. Smoking pot and drinking were big ones. I never got involved with pot. Too much of a good girl. In WT land it's all about appearances.

Weekly Scripture Twist - aka the Watchtower Study
by doubtfull1799 in“more than material assistance, refugees need spiritual and emotional support.
(matt.
4:4) elders can help by obtaining literature in the language of the refugees and by helping them contact brothers who speak their language.

"Let those hungry refugees chomp down on a few magazines and tracts. That'll help em! "
We found out when we were still in that these asshats won't assist you in good times. How the hell are they going to help you in difficult times? They can't even encourage you verbally, much less physically.
Ask a JW to help you move or float you a couple of bucks and you'll see them burn rubber out of the parking lot. We actually experienced this first hand. It pushed us to continue our search in "something is just not right." Now we know "what is just not right."

Stupid is as stupid does. Some are so desperate to maintain that WT acceptance. It defines everything they are. These are the ones WT wants. Gullible and desperate for acceptance.
