Will there be a bed inside the temple to be used strictly for "sacred worship?"

OOh - my bad - it's to be kept there for the "maintenance man."

Did You're Being A Witness Influence You Regarding Marriage or Being Single?

did you get married or stay single because you were a jehovah's witness?.

Definitely. Since freely engaging in premarital sex wasn't an option, most of us wanted to get married. I don't know if I would have gotten married when I did if we didn't have the pressures to remain chaste. That being said, we just celebrated our 27th anniversary and I'm grateful to be his wife today. However, I must admit that from time to time I wonder about the experiences I missed along the way.

I'm making an anniversary gift & it makes me sad

it's my sister's 10th anniversary this friday, and i got all gung ho with making a cd with baby pics through wedding day for both she and her husband.

but as i was getting finished making it, a flood of memories came back as to how i was not only not in my big sister's wedding, but i was barely even invited because i was having jw doubts at the time.

grrrrrrr, kinda left me in a sad mood..... i get so angry at the borg for making both my sisters exclude me from their weddings .

It's a tough balancing act when you're dealing with this. Part of me finds it hard to be angry at my best friend for shunning me (because I know her reasons why), but another part of me says - WTF - you should be my friend FIRST before following their stupid rules. After all we've been to each other and done for each other! Depending on the day, I change perspectives.

1975 coverup! Compare the '68 and '81 Truth book scans

by JimmyPage in

the wt society pointed to 1975 as the date for the end of the world.

when the date came and went they changed their publications to remove themselves from the fiasco.

need proof?

Nellie

And THAT'S why they tell you NOT to look at older publications!!!!

i wanted to make just a thread for this statement of mind control as it was very blatant .

in the may 15th witness only wt under the article "husbands, imitate christ's love !

" it states, " if you are a christian husband, remember that your wife is also your christian sister.

Nellie

All I can say is WOW!

They call me "Brother Undercover"

so i went to the memorial, the only meeting i've gone to for the past five years, i think it is.. i got the usual love bombing from some of the "friends", got ignored by some others but it was the elders that got me.

four different elders came up to speak and every single one of them called me "brother".

"it's good to see you brother undercover..." "how have you been brother undercover..." "staying busy at work, brother undercover...".

Nellie

I remember that one too! But let's see . . . Sidney or LL . . . hmm . . . . hmm . . . two different men / two totally different fantasies!
