  I celebrate whatever strikes my fancy at the time. I always get flowers on Valentines from my husband. Christmas - sometimes we go all out sometimes not. Birthdays are usually a nice dinner together or sometimes the casino 😮

  Engaged Couples Living Together

  by ILewis in

  my question is this.

  is it wrong for a jehovah's witness to allow an unmarried couple to live together under their roof?

  same room, same bed, they are allowing full on cohabitation.

  Mind your own business. You aren’t the morality police for the world. You make decisions for you, they get to make decisions for themselves.

  The book burning has started

  don't know if this is a global thing but i've just been told by a pimo member of my old congregation that a min servant has been given the task of destroying all old books/literature in the kh library prior to 1992.. could be the elders (or even one of them) on a mission to stamp out dissent as my ex-wife used the same reasoning to her elder dad that i used in my jc: rutherfords books containing failed predictions.. anyone else heared anything?.

  the ms who's been given the task is a company man.

  no hope of him keeping them or selling them on ebay.. they have some russell books in that library too.

  See why it’s easier to just burn the books?

  Wives With Unbelieving Mates

  i knew many witness wives with unbelieving mates who pretty much led a double life.

  “my husband says i have to go the workplace christmas party.” or my mate tells me i have to make a thanksgiving dinnner.

  or “ my mate insists i do things in the bedroom that i know the watchtower has talked against.

  I just can’t see anyone allowing an organization to have that much control and input into your life - probably the reason I am no longer a witness.

  i know that some here detested him while others may have simply accepted the reality of who is president.. do you think he is better than you might have thought as a president?.

  I wish he would stop tweeting. But I am happy with the economy and tax reforms so far. I max out my 401k, take every deduction permissible and still wind up paying nearly $30k in just federal income tax, and I am not anywhere near being a 1%er. My company is also one that is giving money back to the employees due to the tax reform bill. So far so good, if he would just shut up.......😀

  Cart Witnessing at Library

  by M3tadata69 in

  hello everyone, i live here in the states, and over the past summer and fall, i noticed that several times when i went to the public library there were witnesses sitting outside next to the door with their cart.

  usually a couple of old geezers just sitting there racking up field service time.

  my question is, do they have to get special permission from the city to do this?

  Drives me nuts to see them outside the library - they are against everything a library stands for. Learning, growth, entertaining new ideas.....

  My now husband didn’t meet my parents for more than 10 years after we were married. Explain to your boyfriend the realities of parents being in a cult. They will understand. I refused to give my JW relatives anything to use against me to try and inflict emotional pain. You don’t have to let them hurt you.

  to the person who reported me to the elders from here - thank you for making me be able to leave the organisation a whole lot easier and sooner than i'd planned.

  you did me a huge favour 😊.

  Also, thanks for reminding all of us exactly why we no longer want to be part of that cult. Spying, stalking, reporting back to the elders- no thanks.

  When Will Jehovah`s Witnesses Appoint A Woman As A Governing Body Member.? It`s Long Overdue !

  by smiddy3 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jehovah himself gives the saying "the women telling the good news are a large army" psalms 68 : 11 coupled with the fact that a good portion of women partake of the emblems and wine at the annual memorial celebration.. identifying themselves as part of the 144000 that are taken from the earth to rule with christ jesus in the heavens.. isn`t it about time they were recognized for their contributions and given the fact that gods word the bible clearly states that 144,000 of anointed are to be taken from the earth which many women are a large part of.?.

  revelation ch.14 :4 could be argued that they are not lesbians { "these are the ones who do not defile themselves with women ,in fact they are virgins, etc,etc.}.

  i wonder just how many men who claim to be of the anointed have not defiled themselves with women and are virgins.?.

  I showed it to my never a JW husband and he said it was creepy. Who talks like that? And who allows some one that much control over their life? He asked my why would anyone subject themselves to that?

  oh and who sits in another guy’s lap?
