Oh, I have forgotten the most important thing. Please, never ask his wife, if she is happy with someone who has heavenly hope. Sister Lösch stays at earth, of course, after the big bang of Herman Monster (armageddon). I always was wondering, how she can cope with the permanent absence of her husband in their day for day life (as nearly every wife of an elder etc.) Any questions on the cruel life patterns of this weird marionettes? I feel very sorry for her. And for many others.

Governing Body member Gerrit Lösch spoke at my District Convention
by under_believer ingerrit losch (it's pronounced kinda like "lirsh") did two things at our dc (portland, or june 30-july 2).
he released the new book about the minor prophets, and he gave the closing talk, the one with the resolution in it.
first of all, losch was not promoted to the governing body because of his speaking ability.

I remember Gerrit Lösch as such a mature brother. He was the one who started slobbering whenever he saw a "pretty sister". Did he change this habit?

Did you make life altering decisions because of 1975?
by restrangled ini had extended family members, both with families of 7, abandon good jobs and homes in the suburbs of chicago.
they moved to the wild outskirts of 2 separate states to protect their families from armageddon.
they both waited for 20 years, wound up financially destitute and finally had to move and depend on other family members to recover.. it would be interesting to read the stories from those of you who went through this time period as a jw.. r.

In one congregation every family sold their house except one. That was the one of my former friend.
I was quite frightened due to the Malawi stories and persecution possibilites told by mum.

Early menopause
by MsMcDucket ini just found out today that i'm in menopause.
i haven't had a menstrual cycle in over a year.
here's my dilemma?
-
acquittal
Puhh, this is not an easy situation. I feel sorry for you.
Well, due to the fact that a lot of women around me suffer from "menostories" I try to stay as good as I can to natural food. Not in extreme way, but constantly.I think a lot about sentences like one of my friends said to me in a desperate tone: "My vagina burns like hell, I cannot even walk two meters." She grew up "in the truth" (what a ridiculous phrase) and I asked her hysterically laughing "Hey, you have never gone to hell and you know how it is there?" We laughed both, but is not funny at all. It will bring fruit a few months later of course, but you ARE what you eat. That's a golden rule. By the way, hormon therapy failed entirely with anybody I know. I would be very cautious and would try to ease the situation with natural aids.
Here is an example to natural food: I have read a lot of literature that Asian Women are hardly affected with negative symptomes during the menopause. Why? Because they eat a lot of vegetables and of course, SOYA.
Hence I try - with success - to change my food habits. I take instead of cow milk for my coffee soya milk (you know, the one without sugar and without strange additional essences). It tastes great and I adjust very good to it.
What I want to tell you is, don't be desperated and try to make at first sight little changes in your day for day life. Step by step. Try to get some literature, find people in you surrounding who have similar problems or ask for information meetings on this in your hospital, physician office, Medical Centers etc.
Many greetings to you and a lot of patience for your new life-time wishes

Respect, Country Girl. You are the first one in my life who has the courage to call such an ugly crocodile after so many years.
You have got good recommendations on this. I would say, too, to take the right steps at the right time. This means that you need an experienced attorney on this topic. It would be a shame if you power yourself out and realize that you should have done it better with legal counsel and reasonable support. Please watch your step and sharp your knife.
All the best to you wishes

Inquisition Room/You and B.O E. Anyone?
by bronzefist inrecently had a sitdown with the entire body of elders.
five elders and little old me.
it wasn't a judicial matter.

acquittal
Ohhh, bronzefist, you must have good nerves. My goodness. 90 minutes for asking about your motives.
Well, questioning and controlling the sheep is part of their manipulation. It takes place regularly and depends of the elders. Of course, it can be different from congregation to congregation. But the system is the same how elders deal with the members of the congregation.
I heard so many weird stories pertaining to "sitdowns with wise elders" that I swore myself: "Never join them when they are going to ask me." Whenever they asked me to come for a sitdown (as you said they wanted to check my heart attitude , which shocked me deeply, because I was a 100% "I love Jehovah so much type") I responded calmly: "Dear brother Overwisdom, I cannot make a sitdown with you in the congregation. I work so much and I need bluy sky over my head desperately. But you can come anytime and walk with me over the vineyards and talk with me while we enjoy the nature." He and the other odd guys never asked me again. Life can be easier as I thought at that time. This reaction was on of my first steps into freedom.
Cheery greetings

I felt exactly the same, Outnfree. I did not regret my insecure step into my new way of life. As a matter of fact, I have not done anything wrong according to the "Standards of Jehovas Witnesses Island of Prisoners". I was simply mixed up and fed up due to the UN-scenario and the information I read in the book "Crisis of Consience" by Raymond Franz. The daily tear drops of mum in the 1970-ies because of the persecution in Malawi filled my heart when I was a kid.
It gave me the last portion of courage to leave the Club of Fearmakers. To look forward and leave my past behind without anger and wrath needed a few years (I was born into this remarkable special group of peculiar believers), but today I can say that I feel free. This is my reward which I can't pay with all the money of the world.
arwen, I wish you a lot of patience with yourself and step by step the trust into "worldly people".
Cheery greetings from far away sends you

I lost my naughty and one of my closest friends called migrane. I got my health back. My whole body was in pain, when I was busy as a JW. The longer I am away from those dead poets, the more I am able to enjoy life. Life is beautiful. I never loved my life so much as today.
