  I had a look at Sperling, thanks.

  The more I look into it, the more I am learning. I think I am freaked out a bit by how the society works. There are jobs and housing that specify race and age. I have seen them openly request very attractive women(I'm doomed in a job search!) I am not a rabid feminist or anything, but my American sensibilities are going to have to get a little less rigid on my ideas of the way things ought to be.

  My husband may be getting transferred there (not sure thing) and I have been avidly seeking more info. Apparently Qatar is not a major destination:)

  I think they seem like a nice family and they were taking care of their family just fine(no debt!) long before they were on tv. They seem happy and healthy. They are part of a community and are raising their kids nicely. Give 'em a break.

  last night he called at 2 am, woke my wife up, she answered the phone.

  he was drunk, yelling and threatening to break into our house and physically harm me because i had his sorry ass thrown out for punching my stomach and destroyed our property while drunk on that day on july 8th.. she hit the flasher button (strobe light attached to a remote thingy that is activated by a remote button) and woke me up.

  i go to her room and find her crying.

  What a rude awakening. I'm sorry your family has that kind of trauma and esp. sorry for the way he ruined your wifes day. I hope the matter is dealt with properly and you stay safe.

  i'm not even sure where to begin with this.. my father is considered an apostate and i haven't been allowed to talk to him for 14 years.

  now i don't even have any connections to him.

  i don't know anyone he knows and i don't even know basic things like where he lives.. any help on someplace where i could look him up would be appreciated..

  LSD to Uphold Blood Sacrifices in Near Future!

  by cameo-d in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  these sacrifices have continued at all times, from adam until jesus christ, but whether they should continue subsequently is disputed by some.

  this is because the ordinances of god have been changed by man.. .

  in these latter days, the lord god has restored the fullness of the gospel to the earth, and opened up the dispensation of the fullness of times.

  Just FYI, this is not the average Mormons that you see at your door with the black suits and the nametags. It's an offshoot. There will not be blood sacrifices at the LDS temples.

  His lawyer probably has bigger fish to fry right now, and his wife is currently tied up.

  Did You Ever Tell Someone They Smelled?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was "assigned" by the body of elders to talk to a pioneer/ministerial servant about his b o. he didn't have a car and so was always put in someone's car group.

  everyone complained about having to take him.. when i talked to him about his stink, he got very very offended and copped an attitude.

  i finally told him that unless he started bathing and washing his disgusting oily hair, he would be removed from his assignments.....what i never understood is how anybody could be told that they actually smelled and yet get pissed off with me!.

  I just told my 9 year old-you stink, go take a shower. Funnily enough, even he was offended. This from a kid who is happy enough to announce his flatulence!

  Judge Bans Shunning

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower

  today i spoke with a former jw i've been in touch with for several years and discovered what i think could be a major bombshell for the wts.

  as we all know, shunning is the most powerful weapon the wt cult has over its members and for decades the wts has been able to get away with practicing it at their whim.

  the us and other courts have permitted them to to use it, even though it destroys families and has ruined countless lives.

  wow, you tell us to expect something, indicate it is 'soon', never deliver, and years later, you tell us it doesn't matter anymore because it no longer is relevant.

  Were you at Bethel in the 60's and 70's?
