..usa... a witness just told me that witnesses always hand over a molester to the cops.
he also told me i was full of crap whenever i told him that elders call the legal dept.
first to find out whether or not the state is a reporting state.. could anyone with the resources please point me to the boe letter or other resource that indicates that elders should contact the legal dept.

after two years out, and that after 25 years in...my mother in law announced out of the blue that she is making an effort to rejoin the jws.
im sure the only reason she is joining them is to get her estranged jw elder husband back, and her two jw kids and grandkids.
i cant believe that a "christian" religion would force its members to prostitute themselves this way just to have their family.. they suck!!
XLoves,
I am sorry to hear about this.
I remember feeling like you when my father went back to Jw's after being out for at least a year.
I was sick about it and felt so helpless and out of control.He was not honest with me about his feelings and intentions.He told me what I wanted to hear untill right before he went back.
One consolation, at least from what many have told me is that they usually feel let down the second time around because things just aren't the same or like they think they will be.

expelled for talking.
couple alleged abuse among jehovah's witnesses.
The conflict is because not everyone in the press was updated on the Pandellos status before their stories ran. They just reported what they were told at the time of their interviews.

someone named me meme sent this email...do what you will with it.
i'm posting it for the entertainment value.
i already know the answer how about you?.
Okay,This would be my advice.
If you don't want to take any chances then don't gamble.
If any of the elders don't like you they can and will use something like this to nail your ass to the wall.
If they all absolutly love you they will probably look the other way unless someone makes an issue of it.Which brings me to this, if you do gamble, don't talk about it to other Jws or let it be known in the community.

Spaz,
This person was crushed and felt so worthless that they went on a gambling binge for months after their selfrightious mate kicked them out of the house!They couldn't live with a DF'd mate.The sick thing is the elders did not discourage this.
After 911 the Df'd person went crawling back with tail between legs claiming to have stopped and was reinstated shortly after. I do not believe this person has stopped gambling I just think they learned to be more decietful.

Someone very close to me was DF'd for gambling.
This person had responsibility in the cong. A wordly person mentioned to a witness that they saw this person at the casino.The witness told the elders.
This person was hauled in before a judicial comittee and stripped of all privledges and publicly reproved.They were told if it continued they would be DF.This persons mate turned them in later for gambling again and then they were DF.
This person was put to death spiritually for gambling.This happened just over a year ago.

just feel like i need to vent.
my wife accused me of seeming not to enjoy being around her.
this was an accurate assessment on her part though i didn't acknowlege that.
Circe,
Good idea.That's what I had to do to my teenage daughter.
She threw freshly folded clean clothes in the dirty clothes because she was too lazy to just open her drawers and put them up after I did all the hard work and she would sometimes stuff dirty underwear and socks in her drawers of clean clothes.I couldn't get this to stop until I just quit doing her laundry.I told her that she would learn how hard the work was and she would think twice about doubling my workload anymore.After she learned her leason I started doing it again and every time she backslides I go on strike again.
Yeru,
I just had another thought. Scary isn't it?
It looks like you may have spoiled your wife when the family was smaller and more managable and you tried to continue being superman when the family grew.Anyway it sounds like you just need figure out what support you need and then communicate.
I was such a pushover that it took more than communication for them to believe me.It may be this way for you too.

Yeru,
I can tell that you are a very kind person.I think you are feeling taken advantage of.I have felt like this many times only to realize that part of it was my fault.I let them run over me and I didn't say NO and stand my ground when it needed to be said.
If you make that cornbread I am going to woop you!
I am joking of course and if you promised to then I understand.
But this was a perfect example you gave.It is unreasonable of her to expect this with all you have to do.She needed a reminder and a flat out refusal.
You just have to stand up for yourself because by taking the non-confrontional approach with her it gets worse because you are secretly brewing with all this pent up resentment and she continues to take advantage of you partly because you let her.
I hope you don't mind me saying these things.I have experience with this and have to work hard to practice what I preach because it goes against my grain. Anyway,Just think about it.
