I see you are already referring to her screwed up religion as "The Truth". Geez, that's a bad sign. Others have said it better already, but all I can add is that you have broken the seal on a big can of worms and you will regret it if you completely open the lid. Have a serious talk with your penis and RUN.

Strange but TRUE
by KW13 inha ha i was laughing just now, had a strange memory.. when stepdad was away and/or when mum was playing the male role of jw head of household she used to cover her head.

this was i think from the reasoning book or something, but yeh...covering her head out of respect for jehovah.

When I was an elder I remember an older elder (more elderly elder?) who, whenever a problem was brought up in an elders meeting involving a sister would gently shake his head and murmer "ahh, daughters of Eve...daughters of Eve"

Hey, If nothing else is available a pair of panties works in a pinch.
This female paranoia from the Old Testament/Taliban mentality was highlighted when, many years ago, the sisters were allowed to give presentations in the Theocratic Ministry School if it was acted out as though they were talking to another woman (aka, 'stooge") on the platform.

There, there now. Set down and let me get you a nice hot cup of tea. What you are feeling is very normal. I went through these feelings for a long time until I realized that this was allowing them to still contol me in a way. I began to force myself to feel pity for them, like I would feel for someone who had been in an auto accident, got their brain mashed and now they can't quite control their bowels and one eye always looks off to the north. When I run into them I assume a subtle smirk of confidence. This pisses them off worse than anything because most of them ENVY those who have escaped. Pardon the crudity but with these people my attitude is "fuck 'em dead in their ass".

I need the top 5 questions to present to the elders....
by AK - Jeff inanyone who has been following my situation may recall that it looks like the elder's are 'closing in' on wifey and i after having been out about two and a half years.
i think they may force a showdown with a registered letter inviting me to the jc.
i don't care if they df me.

Jeff,
I like the cut of your jib!! (whatever that means) Just a couple of suggestions from someone who has been there.
When you think about cornering the JC with a logical presentation of simple, straightforward, Society based evidence, always keep a mental picture of the famous three monkeys, Seeno, Hearno and Speakno. This will help you from being too frustrated. The personal mailings idea is good. Keep it pithy. I would not bother with a newspaper classified ad. However, a small display ad would be good if it appeared in your local papers religion section. I know these can cost a few bucks. Contact me through a PM and I would be willing to contribute towards it. Maybe some others would too.

Every time I log on I read posts from those who are desperately trying to avoid disfellowshipping. Playing cat & mouse with elders and JCs, etc. I don't want to judge people whose situations I don't know anything about. But I think it would be helpful to others to hear exactly WHY some want to avoid this so badly, not to second guess them, but to understand the circumstances they face.
With some it might be something like having loved ones that would be broken hearted. It might be pragmatic reasons like housing, income, etc. With others it might simply be like the fear of going to the dentist, even though you know you should go. Anyone like to share?
