i honestly believe most jw males stay in the orgnisation because they are given control, i.e.
married males have ultimate control over their wives and children.
i know a woman who was married to an elder and who said that prior to becoming a jw she would never be submissive to her husband.
Even my mom gave me the green light to (verbally) lay the smack down on any sister who didn't like my steez when I conducted the bookstudy for the first time. It's power for the otherwise powerless. It's flippin' great.
So, it's okay in your opinion to put someone down verbally? Where is your loving kindness? Wouldn't you rather have respect because you earned it?

Ian-
Wow--what a statement to hear from a man! Wish I was married to someone with your point of view.
My Mom and I have had conversations similar to your statement.
What would they be without their control!?

has anyone ever experienced this?
i have, as well as with emails and especially text messages.. do you think there's any chance this could be real-that there is a valid, unspoken connection between people who reach out to each other?
It happened to me! I picked up the phone to call my grandma and there she was! The phone had not even rung! What makes it strange is that we never called each other! Sounds terrible, but we saw them almost every weekend!
That's not at all strange. It might be strange if it happened to you every day, or every week even - assuming average rates of receiving phone calls, diversity of callers etc.
If it happened every day I would have been freaked out! I don't believe in telepathy--just thought it was an odd coincidence
we were building a new kh- not quick build- and we had to vacate the old building and the new kh was not finished.
the elders decided to cancel all the meeting with the exception of the tuesday night bookstudy in homes.
we had no other meetings for about 4-5 weeks.
I can remember meetings being cancelled due to bad winter weather.
many more are expected as the end nears!.
1. armageddon-jehovah's witnesses answer to hell fire.
2. preaching-the answer to world hunger.
3. UNITY THROUGH FEAR
Love this one!

Producer, director and life-long friend John Stainton yesterday said Irwin did not provoke the stingray and was simply swimming above it when he was attacked.

Just heard there may be a special guest coming to sing at the funeral. Sting.Pope
Hey, what if he had been a family member of yours?
okay, well my mother called this evening and was all emotional about her one day assembly.
i was shocked she brought it up, as we just do not mention the religion anymore, but lately little things keep getting said at her conventions and assemblies that seem to be making this line something she wants to cross more these days.
what she brought up, was something i had not heard mentioned on here and i wanted some insight from people who actually heard it or knew more about it.
Is your mom usually that dramatic? She most like read more into what was being said--meditated on it and then took it out on you! She's most likely sincere--it's like playing telephone--the story gets bigger as it gets passed along! My mom does it, too! It can drive you nutty!
yep, september 1st is upon us.. what shall you do?

Happy New Year
