  JW Books at yardsale

  by tfjw in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a friend of my wife just called her and said she was now ready to part with her deceased husband's personal property and was going to be having a big yard sale sometime this summer.

  her husband, not her, was a third gen. jw elder and she's setting aside his theocratic library for my wife and i to take a look at before she sells anything in the yard sale.

  i told her that whatever she did don't put them in the yard sale because some unsuspecting mind could become disturbed if read unsupervised.

  Some single older women in bad circumstances

  by LongHairGal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am saddened and angry to observe the pitiful situation some of my jw single female friends are in.

  they are over 40 and have little work record, hardly any money and in some instances compromised health issues.

  i am angry because these women were waiting for armageddon to come and save them.

  I agree with flyinghighnow. I am so unhappy in my marriage, but if I leave, I have nothing. No money to my name--no education--no work experience.........................................thank-you Jehovah

  .

  did you think you might "get contacted" somehow by those powerful demons?

  did you avoid anything the society said was associated with demonism?.

  Yes, I was and now it drives me crazy when my mom says that satan caused something or the demons did it! It's such a weight lifted off my shoulders since I quit believing that crap! My stove is on the fritz--keeps beeping for no reason--so when it's quiet and it starts beeping I yell "smurfs are in my stove!"

  Brotherly love in action ?

  kind of a strange experience here, maybe someone can make me see what's going on.

  my parents live in another state, to visit them would require at least a 22 hour drive, no trains, .

  planes are fine but since the airport is in the middle of nowhere tickets are getting quite costly ($$$$$$.

  I don't see how any of this is bashing JW's--They go on and on that they are the only people in the world who have true love. There are witnesses that are truly loving--but most want something in return.

  Oh, one sister was being paid to clean their house and it got back to me that she was insinuating to sisters in a car group that she was being taken advantage of. I told the sister that related this to me that it wasn't true--she was being paid! Funny thing--one of my in-laws neighbors told us several times she would only stay at their house for 1/2 hour. I guess she was a dishonest pioneer! Imagine that!
