I like your idea Coffee, get her out of there!
His behavior is way, way over the top, just the gun-in-the-mouth thing alone is enough reason to run as fast as you can.
Is she working? what ties would she have to sever to get the heck out of Dodge?

Isn't Jehovah a wonderful God?
by nvrgnbk inwhen i look around at all the people in the world, i'm comforted to know that jehovah will soon destroy them.. i'm talking about people that don't attend our encouraging christian meetings.
yes, people that don't zealously participate in the preaching of the good news.
'what good news?

ya know, you'd think that if adam was really created by god, he'd have a bigger package.
Ya know, if Adam really was created by Jah, you would think an all-powerful omnipotent being, could make a human the way he liked em. Instead of creating them so that the majority won't even do what he tells em. I mean come on, if we're not pleasing to him, why did he make us this way?
yeah I know about "free will", so why did he give us this so-called free will? Did he do it so that the majority of us would decide not to serve him? What a loving thing that was!

While still a JW, my five year old had learned about Santa Claus at school and was extremely excited when she got home that day. She was gushing about how Santa flies around the world and gives all the kids presents. I had to break her little heart and tell her that Santa did not exist. Some months later while reading the bible story book I was explaining to her that Jehovah cannot be seen. She asked if there were any pictures of Jehovah and I said "no". She thought for a moment and said, "OK let me get this strait, Jehovah exists, but nobody sees him and nobody has a picture of him, but Santa doesn't exist, but you can see him at the mall, and I've seen pictures of him?" There is just no way that child would have stayed a JW, at five her bullshit meter was much more accurate then mine ever was.

BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?
by Black Man ini often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.
while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).
a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.

Something I noticed in the famous "1975" Watchtower article...
by B_Deserter ini decided to read for myself the articles my father and mother were reading during this interesting time in witness history.
i stumbled upon the following paragraph that scared the bejeezus out of me: .
"one thing is absolutely certain, bible chronology reinforced with fulfilled bible prophecy shows that six thousand years of mans existence will soon be up, yes, within this generation!

Their writings are not inspired as are those of Paul and the other Bible writers.
This always amazes me.
They like to say that "Jah has always had an organisation".
And in the past, the organisation was inspired, but the current one, the one that is suppose to carry us through the big A, is not inspired.

aSphereisntaCircle, You left out fashion coordinators, for women.
Yeah, I know what you mean. They wouldn't let us wear slits in our skirts but they always wore those sexy sexy suits, sometimes not even buttoning the jacket! I mean, they'd be up there on stage, with there jackets unbuttoned, you could clearly see their zippers. How could you sit there the whole time, and not think about their penis?

This is what has always pissed me off about the mysogyny of the JWs. Men are born from women and women also originate with men. Neither one could manage without the other when it comes to existence. However, one is viewed as weaker, and sadly seen as less intelligent but on the whole, when looked at rationally, they are more or less the same.
Even while a good and faithful dub, I could not understand this either, why does there have to be a boss?
It's just so immature, aren't we adults?
I love the relationship i have with my husband, headship is a complete non-issue. We respect each other, and that's whats important in a relationship, mutual respect, not having one person lording it over the other.

Damn. I just hate not having a penis. My life would not have been as horrible.
I agree with you, penises are awesome! If your a JW, a penis gives you the ability to be a marriage counselor, substance abuse counselor, life coach, whatever. It also gives you the ability to tell when someone is lying, or if someone is truly repentant. Penises have all the answers!

Just reviewing my years of non-appointment as an elder.
by AK - Jeff ini had 'reached out' to be an elder for a decade before i finally understood the reasons why i was not, nor would i ever be one.. each visit of the co, my name was on the list of discussion.
i know this because i was told by both co's and local elders.
the vote was always close, sometimes i missed the cut due to 'low hours' on the part of my wife or daughter, othertimes due to some variation in the way the wts was looking at particular 'requirements'.

My ex-hubby never even got to run the microphone, much-less become one of the "glorious ones".
While a dub, this was an embarrassment to me, wives of non-elder husbands get no respect at all. And people always assume something's wrong with you.
Now I'm proud of him, he's still an arsehole, but I'm glad he never buckled under the pressure to become one of the good ole boys.
Hats off to you AK, they bent you but they didn't break you, your just to sane and well adjusted to be elder material.
I'm a good follower though, if I had been born with a penis, I'm sure I would have been elder material during the time I was a believer.
