I NEED SOME FEEDBACK!
by snakeizz inyou guys i need help...please bear with as this is a rather long post...i had to give you guys the history of this....there still might be things i'm leaving out, but i'll explain in the future..... my sister wants me to help her plan my parent's wedding anniversary party.
they never celebrated it in the past because my dad is an idiot.
my wife and i declined to assist because of the way they have treated us in the past and because of the preferential treatment given to my sister and my fathers 7 other children.

I don't think I would participate in much. Maybe show and and then help clean up *if* I was still there when the party was over.
My experience with parent's anniversary:
I was 19. We had just moved across country. I had a full time job and their anniversary was coming up. I made reservations to take the entire family (6 of us) to a real nice restaurant. It was going to cost me just over a full week's take-home pay.
We always did a small family celebration on their anniv date but this year I wanted to make special. I was the oldest kid and had a full time job.
The night before their anniversary, my parents got in to a HUGE argument over something. I never knew what that was about - the were always arguing - but this one was huge. Day of their anniv they were still screaming, crying, slamming doors, smacking kids. It was really terrible.
About 4 hours before we were supposed to leave, I cancelled the reservations.
THEN I told my parents they were cancelled.
I think my dad was relieved.
My mom remimded me about that for 20 years. I was such an ungrateful daughter. How dare I ruin *her* special day. The only thing *she* is allowed to celebrate!!!
(Forget that us kids had nothing to celebrate. Just their miserable marriage and Jesus' death.)
Sorry for my rant. I want to spit when I think about planning hypocritical events. Maybe I'm not the most rational person to comment on your situation.
Sorry!! -Aude.

My guess:
1. GB wives would not allow them to 'cancel' anniversaries.
Or,
2. One or two of them really loved their wives and just couldn't bear to give up that celebration.
I don't think I'm being cynical after what I've learned these past 6weeks. I think that most likely this allowance is simply based on someone's personal desire and policy was manipulated to allow it.

I know I said it already but I want to say it again please, thanks to all of you who have given me such support and kind words these past 18 or so hours, you guys are amazing, this place simply oozes with love and compassion, somehow I think I AM HOME.
I know what you mean. I've only been here for about 6 weeks and feels more like home than my condo does...! Glad to have this opportunity to 'meet' you. -Aude.

She already said that she is divorcing him twice and that she has cheated on him.
IF this statement is true, I would think he would initiate the divorce. This would be scriptural grounds.

I guess not all the loving JW's follow the rules.
That's the point. And it's a bit of a double life.
Funny position those women are in. Got the best of both worlds. The sympathy of the congregation for having an un-believing mate and yet that poor guy is working like a dog and being ill-treated by his witness wife. These guys seem to really care to support those lazy, selfish, heartless women.
What a SCAM!!
I'm so glad Blondie clued the poster in to what she is expected to do.
Sorry. Really slayed me to read how his wife neglected their family. Sheesh!!

No more meetings for me!
by cyberguy inwell, after being out-of-town for nearly 2 months, i?ve decided i can no longer go to any meetings after returning home (not that i was going to that many beforehand).
i?m not sure what is happening to me, but i?ve actually developed an aversion to anything "watchtower!
" i cannot even read the literature, including current awake and watchtower magazines, without getting extremely nauseous!
