Words for the Day; please share
by compound complex ingreetings, word lovers:.
in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.
one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.

Want to read a surprising comment/complaint posted on my website about JW's encouraged not to have kids. Who would have thought!
by AndersonsInfo inhttp://watchtowerdocuments.org/did-you-know-having-children/#comment-474.
here's the short article found in the "did you know?
" series found on watchtower documents, and, underneath it, is the unusual comment:.

The no marriage - no children mindset played very well with my unbalanced, fanatical 'dyed in the wool' Jehovah's Witnesses mother. One of her favorite ways to 'mind f*ck' her children was to say, "You don't want to get married until after Armageddon, DO YOU?". Such mental, emotional and spiritual abuse never turns out for the good. My oldest sister (among others in my family) fell for this mind control. She is 71 years old and has never married or had children. And she wants nothing to do with the Watchtower Society ever again.

Birthday Party
by OnTheWayOut ini have posted less and less personal threads because less and less jw-related activity has happened in my life.
my jw mother called me on friday and asked me if i could do something on saturday.
i was sure my wife would ask me if anyone asked about her, and what i said.

No blow dryer necessary. Any time Jesus needed to dry his hair, his own personal 'holy spirit dove stylist' would flap its wings and dry Jesus' hair on cue!

Just a side comment (since I haven't been to a Watchtower Study (tm) in years). It looks as if everyone on the Governing Body is reading from a printed version of the Bible accept for Mark Sanderson. Perhaps as the youngest member, he is 'taking the lead' in moving Jehovah's chariot (tm) forward in the use of 'electronic media'?

How much time and money did we waste traveling to meetings alone?
by longgone inquick answer: way too much!.
this is something that really gets to me, all the way back to my childhood.
twenty minutes each way, three times a week.

I just checked MapQuest. The rural congregation that my family attended when I was a teenager was a 43 minute drive from our home. (one way) The book study was local , so we only made the trek to the Kingdom Hall twice a week for meetings.

I'll give these 'old boys' a little credit. At least they weren't self aggrandizing attention whores to the degree of the current crop of Governing Body members.

Would This Be Adultery?
by FedUpJW ini just happened to read a news article from some months ago about doctors having performed a successful penis transplant.
the recipient lost his due to cancer, and doctors expect him to gain full use of his "new" penis, including sexual activities.
considering some of the more goofy interpretations of doctrine that the gooberning body trots out that the rank and file must obey under penalty of shunning i wonder if a man had this surgery, would he and or his wife be df'd for adultery?

The Circuit Overseer would probably need to set up a 'special' committee to investigate this matter. The first thing that would need to be determined is whether or not the transplanted penis was 'whole' or just a 'fraction' of a penis. As far as I understand current teachings, transplanted whole penises are a disfellowshipping offense but penis fractions are a conscience matter. Once that matter was established, then it would have to be determined if the old penis now transplanted onto the brother in question was used in harmony with Jehovah's arrangement. Any misuse of the old penis by the former owner could come under the rubric of Fornication. So depending on whether or not the former owner confessed to loose conduct, fornication or adultery and did or did not repent of his sins..........the whole matter could become a very sticky situation, best sorted out by the more spiritual and experienced Elders in the Circuit. Probably, the special committee would say that it was Adultery and disfellowship the wife. Thereby leaving the brother (who was probably also an Elder himself) scripturally free to remarry a younger more attractive pioneer sister and enter the Circuit work himself.

Would You EVER Go Back To Being A Jehovah's Witness?
by minimus ini could never understand why some people who know the truth about the "truth" ever go back.
once you understand all the hypocrisy and negatives, i would think it's almost impossible to go back!.

When I was a Bethelite at Watchtower Farm, I did it all the time! I used to pee in the room sink when my roommate was not around.
