Wife has a new sister leading her study......
by insearchoftruth inwell we moved to another city and my wife was handed off to another sister for her study, even though it was only about 10 minutes from where the previous sister lived.
is this standard practice, will a person really only work in thier own territory??
my wife seems to like this sister she is studying with, and last week i met her and her husband, seem like pretty nice people, both born into the organization and seem to be pretty brainwashed by the stuff.

Growing up I went to a KH in a pretty well-off area, where we lived in this KH territory, was middle class/blue collar...but most of the husbands in this KH were well off, mercedes & BMWs etc....nice big homes...some of them were elders...don't remember any regular pioneer wives though, they just went out in service regularly (required hours +).
I think it depends on where you live.

Sorry, but my worst injury was when I had my son Dylan, he was 9 lbs 2oz (I am 5 ft) and I got 40 stiches due to child birth.
I remind Dylan everyday of what he put me through-LOL, hes 10 now. Loves his mom.

Well, this is a loaded question for me. I have gotten caught, I got in alot of trouble, and paid the price. Luckily, I did not kill someone else or myself.
I took classes, and it helped me realize that if alchohol causes me problems, its time to rethink about alchohol in itself, and am I the person that can have self control? I am not sure. I hardly drink now, no desire like when I was younger, but I like to have a good time. I used to binge drink with my girlfriends. In fact, we planned our getting together around wine & beer & bakini martini's.
After I got in trouble, I needed to realize somethings about myself, my life in general. Admittance helped in the "feeling sorry for yourself" (I was so pissed at myself) and being able to learn from it and move on.
Dont drink and drive, the time will come when you get caught, the rules are even stricter now. As of 1/1/09, 1st time DUI sentence is breath-a-lizer device attached to your car before you can turn it on (my case was before this new rule, I got to keep my license)...
Then you need to go to a Victom Impact Unit (volunteers from AIM are there), the people who speak have loved ones that were killed by a drunk driver, its heart breaking, as it should be.

I drive by alot of KHs, and I think the same way...feeling sorry for them...especially when I see cars in the parking lot, where I know they are out in "service" and I find myself apprecaiting that I do not have to do that ever again (its been 16 years)...but you get a strange feeling...driving by KHs.

I think you are great individual from what I have read, sticking by your wife, and "confirming" so to speak so as to not have major drama in your life...I am a true believer in "rewards" for those that try...you will be rewarded even through difficult times.
Although I never claim to understand it completely (your side), I still have good instinct...the rewards will come....sometimes the pain comes 1st, or the foul bad mood you may be in...rewards will come.
That is what I keep telling myself anyway...

I just want this to stop!
by mrsjones5 inas some of you know my husband became ill and we lost our house in indiana.
my parents offered to help and although i really didn't want to do it knowing that my parents have limited resources i really didn't have a choice.
i also wanted to come back to a place that was familiar and where most of my family and friends are.

That what my parents wanted everyone to think, that we were the perfect little JW family. But, behind closed doors it was a different story, funny that when your a kid...its seemed like normal life...then your out for 16 years ..and you know its WRONG.
Everyone was marrying at 18 back in the early 90s, I used to be so envious because I wanted to have sex too - LOL

How did your Jehovah`s WItness Family treat you,when you no longer wanted to participate as a Jehovah`s Witness?
by OUTLAW inwhen we leave the wbt$ religious cult "jehovah`s witness`s"..the wbt$ encourages our familys to have little,or nothing to do with us..........our own jehovah`s witness parents will do exactly as the wbt$ commands..mine did.......my jehovah`s witness parents told other jehovah`s witness`s,"i hated all jehovah`s witness`s"..not true..i just did`nt like the religion..i had no problem with most individual jw`s.............................how did your jehovah`s witness family treat you,when you no longer wanted to participate as a jehovah`s witness?...........................................................................outlaw.

I left in 1992.
Have not seen my dad since 1992. My mom and I reunited after 8 years of not seeing each other in 2000...but our relationship is not good, she has too much going on mentally for me to be qualified to handle...she was DFd in 2000 which is why she was able to talk to me again....
its really sad what JW parents do their children! I have 3 of my own, I could never do it to them, I still do not know to this day, how my parents did it.
