Now, Swalker, that is just sooooo wrong (as tears come to my eyes from extreme laughter).
Honestly, can you see the waterfall here?

yeah, you heard me correctly.
i used to attend a congregation that housed the circuit overseer, he had an apartment on the bottom floor of the kingdom hall.
everything was provided for him, apartment, utilities, health insurance, meals, and get this - cable tv!!!
That is sickening.
About four to six years ago, we had a CO and wife who owned horses and boarded them where ever they went. Now, that is my dream, to have A (one) horse, but I tried not to let that get to me. Thought that they were dedicating their life to Jehovah and all. Well, I decided to give them a contribution to help continue their service to Jehovah. You know what she told me, "Thank you. I will use this to get my horse something." Needless to say, that was the last time I ever gave a contribution to assist the CO's.
Bunch of frauds is what I say.

i forget where i got this, but this scan is from the july 2004 awake!
magazine, and as you can see it responds to a reader asking about the obviously pagan pinata tradition.
but that isn't the story or the shocker here, it is the society's response to the article.
I was still in when that pinata article came out. Everyone was so freaking excited about this "new information". I mean, there is/was all kinds of bad stuff going on and they are EXCITED that now hitting a pinata is a conscience matter. How absolutely absurd!!!!! Their response to the question is so ignorant as well. Bunch of , oh I don't know, I can't think of a word bad enough to express how they make me feel.
Anyway, welcome to the board NellyNel.

i got my nose pierced and how have a tiny nose stud on the right side.
That is really neat. I have been thinking about getting my nose pierced as well, but I am along the same line as MsPeaches, I don't think that I have a delicate enough nose. Congratulations though. I bet it look real good.

i haven't been on this site in a while but you guys came to mind to help me.
i hate to admit this but i have suspicions about my husband.
i want to get on his hotmail account but i don't know his password.
els,
Ask him. If you and he have discussed this in the past it might be something that he feels that he can talk to you about. After all, you did give him your okay to return to looking at those sights.
On the other side though, I have in law family members that have had so much trouble with porn and sexual addiction that they have cheated on their mates and lied about. All the time remaining a servant and giving talks on how everyone else should not do those sort of things. Very hypocritical.
If your husband is doing it and trying to keep it a secret it will only come out when he is ready to tell you.
Again, tell him the circumstances of your discovery and then see what happens. That is my suggestion.

els,
I sorry that I know very little about this but just recently I was listening to a radio program about this subject exactly. You might want to be careful with your investigations they are sometimes illegal. I am with you though, If you think he is cheating I would do whatever means possible to find out, even if it is illegal.

tell us which songs helped you when you left....it might be something others choose to listen to.. one of mine:.
"i don't believe" by skunk anansie.
cold blood, broken smile that is all that i have to give.
Greendays - "Boulevard of Broken Dreams"
I don't know if this song helped me but everytime I turned on the radio it was on, for about six months, it actually became a joke between my husband and I. He calls it my theme song. In some ways it made me want to shoot myself and others, it was comforting. Maybe it isn't so bad walking alone.

g'day plough folks,.
englishman william tindale was an excellent greek scholar.
it is said that he was so well versed in seven different languages that no stranger could determine which one was his native tongue.
Unclebruce,
Very informative post. I have two questions 1. What is Mysogynes? and 2. I didn't know that Martin Luther was a jew burner. Do you have any other interesting information about him or suggestions of reading materal on this subject?
I only know about Luther through the movie recently released about him. It made him look like a man who was truly striving for truth but from your comments it leads me to wonder.
Anyway, thank you for the post.

have you ever been in such despair that the thought crossed your mind?
did being a jehovah's witness have anything to do with your mindset?
Yes, I have thought about it. And yes, I think being a witness had something to do with it, though not directly. The organization constantly heaps upon you guilt for not doing enough, not being good enough and that you need to do more, more, more. You then carry this over into your everyday life and when things arn't working out you think, I am not good enough, I need to do more, it is all my fault. You know the lines. Also, you base so much of your self worth on what other people think of you and you let them determine whether you are worthy to live or not. I have felt much better lately though, since leaving, and I have gotten people out of my life that made me feel so negative about myself. Anyway, I never got close to it, just thought about it frequently.
