  over the last two weeks since i posted about my wife taking me to the elders, i have been working very hard to save my marriage.

  i have made arrangements for babysitting so that we can go out at least once or twice a week.

  we have taken in a movie, gone for a walk, gone to the beach, gone to the museum, gone to a jazz concert and just yesterday we went to a coffee house and talked over a nice cup of joe.

  This Past Sunday My Wife Took Me To The Elders!

  by enlightenedcynic in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  early sunday morning, around 1:30 a.m., my wife wakes me and says that she can't sleep and needs to talk with me.

  i say ok and she proceeds to tell me that she wants a seperation.

  i was hurt, but not shocked, because our relationship is not that close at this point after 14 yrs of marriage.

  My District Convention Is Being Held At An Assembly Hall

  by enlightenedcynic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if this topic has been discussed previously, i apologize, but next week i unfortunately must attend the dc which is being held at the local assembly hall.

  there are benefits to this as i don't have to rent a car or room for myself and family.

  the downside to this is that it will now be harder to miss segments of the program or an entire day without being scrutinized.

  The Single Most Dangerous JW Meeting....in my opinion!

  by enlightenedcynic in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the way i see it, pretty much everyone here knows that the 5 weekly meetings, the memorial, the dc's and ca's are all a bunch of rubbish and jibber jabber.

  there is still one other meeting, not as frequently held as the others, that jw's use very effectively to control existing members and bring in new converts and this meeting sadly plays apon the emotions of all in attendance.. what meeting is this?.

  a kh funeral!!!.

  Did you hear about the congregation where.........

  by enlightenedcynic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am new to the board and am looking forward to many insightful discussions here.. a good friend of mine attends a congregation where sisters are working behind both the literature and magazine counters.

  the brothers who were handling those responsibilities were removed because in the elder body's opinion, none of them were "exemplerary".police officer explained that save for the elders and a few of the ministerial servants, none of the men in the congregation were meeting the national average in field service time, so for the foreseeable future, "exemplerary".

  the irony here though is that the same men who are unfit to handle the literature and magazine counters are qualified to offer opening and closing prayer for meetings and do reading for the watchtower study.
