Had a similar situation here where a single brother was living in a caravan on an empty section next door to a single sister, this single sister also owned that empty section. He volunteered to move before anyone was stumbled because of this. To me, if anyone was stumbled over that situation, it would be the person getting stumbled that had the issue, but we all know, some JWs do have warped thinking patterns...

8Renting to a Witness of the opposite sex...
by James Robinson ini need a question answered.
i know of a situation where a single sister took in a single brother as a renter, so she could be his caregiver, as he was very along in years.. long story short, they were forced to get married.
i believe it was labeled under "appearance of evil" by the elders.. my question is: what do the elders base this on?

by Overrated inyou're doing everything you can, meeting attendance, field circus, helping out where you can and you are told your not progressing!?!

What is proof of progress? I'm thinking it is judged on reporting at least 5hrs of field service each month and commenting at least once every meeting.

You're DISFELLOWSHIPPED, Please---DON'T CONTACT US, Until You Return to Jehovah's Organization!
by pistolpete ini just heard this story from one of my relatives.
i'm leaving a lot of things out.. a jw couple had three kids and raised them in the religion.
the oldest one got disfellowshipped at 18 years of age because he committed fornication with a jw girl.

I can also confirm that in the congregations in the circuit that I'm in, a very high % of JW marriages fail, don't succeed, usually last only between 7 to 15 years. But we are not to focus on that because it is negative thoughts, and negative thoughts come from Satan. I don't see that kind of divorce rate outside WT, but we have to believe that the world views marriage as disposable.
I find it so hard to believe WT information that is clearly misleading, making me believe and promote lies that make the organization look wonderful. Because I don't get involved in their promotional / upbuilding stories, im the one they view as spirituality weak.

My biggest first time post fear was getting caught and having to explain. The fear of writing on a website with others who are awake in regards to the TTATT.

I'd say most Jobos will collect for their 'spiritual' library.
Those were big in the 90s, early 2000s. We used to brag about library size, kind of a sign of how spiritual we were. Not anymore. All needed literature is available for download from the HQ website. Everything else is now old light. It didn't help when the branch had a letter read out about 6 years ago asking for all old publications to be returned to them. I was put under a lot of pressure from my JW family to dump my old literature.

When people are told not to do something they usually do it just out of curiosity`s sake .
Individually they might sneak a look, but as a group or family, the fear control would take over and everyone around them would hear about how Satan is using this documentary to promote lies.
