okay so when i was talking with the brothers, somehow they got me to agree to come up with a list of jw teachings i don't agree with.
for some reason the po gave the number as "12".
don't ask me why he came to that conclusion.
I love your list so far and I agree you should include the point Nice_dream shared . Keep us posted .
As for what the Elders do with the information Who Knows ....they asked ,and what you have listed so far is straight forward and logical questions .
I guess they could get frustrated when they can't come up with good answers . More than likely though they will give typical JW answers and not be able to comprehend why you don't get it !
i just got a call from jamie this afternoon, saying she found her husband in the bathroom, not breathing.
i've not had the chance to speak to her, she left me a voice mail.
but i'm very worried.
Oh Jamie what a horrible scare ! I am so glad you were close and help was able to revive him . Best wishes for his recovery .....and for your shaken nerves .
i'm so excited, im going out to buy my first christmas tree today!
it will be small, but it will be great.
since im still living separate from my jw hubby, im going to take advantage of the freedom.

...i went to a gathering a few weeks ago (a luncheon for some pioneer sisters).
we had turkey burgers, salad, fruit salad, etc.
one of the sister (an eighteen year old sister) and me were having a conversation (i'm not a pioneer by the way, and i wasnt going out in field service, just visiting, i live down the street from this sisters house).
And it is not just the young that remain fearful .....I ran into a pioneer sister a couple of yrs ago and when I asked if she was a grandmother yet she nearly started to cry . Oh her daughter and son in law are crazy over their friends baby and she was AFRAID it would make them want a baby too . When I said that would be great to have grandchildren ,she was shaking her head saying NO not in this terrible time of the end .....I just smiled and said I couldn't wait to have grandchildren .

I remember thinking that way to when I was young . Being so afraid my babies would suffer during the Great Tribulation . When I was 8 months pregnant with our youngest child back in 1987 the summer convention had a horrible talk intitled " Responsible Child Rearing in this Time of the End " It basically made you feel like such an idiot to choose to have children at this time instead of concentrating on the preaching work .......I wanted to crawl under a rock during that talk . Oh and now look all my babies are grown and ready to have families of their own .
I also remember talking to a pioneer sister that was just so upset and worried about starting a family (this was 15 yrs ago ) . SHe was truly upset because her husband wanted kids ,but she had been raised as a witness and fully indoctrinated in fear of the end . He finally must have prevailed because they now have three girls !
So much time ,energy and happiness is wasted in this horrible religion .
