"Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12

2. bible
have anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?

its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .

if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

Lost Legitimate Opportunities For Love
by PublishingCult in

when you were in the organization of jehovah's witnesses, did you shun legitimate courtship attempts from "worldly" men or women who were otherwise very desirable and suitable because they were non-believers?

.

did you fancy them as well, but tried to get them to study and come into the organization in order to justify the relationship?.

i'm sure at some point you have mentioed it somewhere on the site, perhaps several.

but this question is i guess personal.

for those her were born into the jdub religion, why did you leave at whatever point?

once again we received the may 15th " witness only " wt from our lurking jw friend.

even though i've been out for over 7 years and haven't attended in that long - i never cease to be amazed at the arrogance of this patriarchal man pleasing wt society in it's dismissive attitude towards women .

it's horrible.

yearbook 1967 p.105 "{chad -africa}.....a large crowd was follwing a man who had a talking serpent.

the serpent gave greetings and spoke in foriegn tongues...a brother was passing by and attracted by the commotion, he went to the house...as soon as he entered the room the serpent stopped talking.

the man cried out: "a magican has entered the room"...the brother said: "is that a serpent or a demon that is talking to you?...i know that since god created the animals not one sepent has spoken, with the exception of the one in the begining in the garden of eden...seeing that the serpent remained silent the man left the building...later he was anxious to get some literature....".

Installing a Husband

dear tech support,.

last year i upgraded from boyfriend 5.0 to husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow-down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under boyfriend 5.0. in addition, husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as romance 9.5 and personal attention 6.5 and then installed undesirable programs such as nfl 5.0, nhl 3.0 and golf clubs 4.1. conversation 8.0 no longer runs and housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.

please note that i have tried running nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

Friends, put more white space in your text. I can't read big fat blobs of text.
by gubberningbody in

i can, but i likely won't.. .

in school they teach you to indent and make new paragraphs when changing a subject etc., however the online-media requires more white space for it to be legible.. .

even if you're fascinated with your story, it won't be read by many unless you give us some place to rest and take a breath.. the whitespace is where we get to breathe.. .

Are you a stay at home mom, working woman with or with out children or a combination of both?

i am asking this based on sd-7's posts and am curious what you consider fair as far as house upkeep in the position you are in.. i was raised in the 60/70 decades from parents married in the 1950's so i seem to have a pretty old fashioned idea of what "housewife" means.. when i was working i had no tolerance for any slop habits, but since i'm home i don't require much.. so what are your ideals, how does your home operate?

dear congo,.

i was df'ed for apostasy (brother-in-law caught me on this web site in march of 2007) and since my judicial committee in april of 2007 and subsequent divorce in october of 2007 i never looked back.

3 years later, my son (12 years old) is completely out (has only attended the memorial since leaving), and my daughter (10) is fading as best she can.
