My friend when we were kids ran away from home because her JW father was getting out of jail after molesting her sister and returning home because the elders told her mother she could not divorce him. So, rather than stay around home at 13/14 and maybe get molested by her father, she took to the streets.

would a jw wife be advised to divorce her disfellowshipped convicted hub
by looloo inif he has been convicted of child abuse and doing a prison sentence , would she tell any newly interested ones where her husband was?
or would elders tell her to say he was"working away" or to avoid answering so as not to "stumble" new ones ?
she is supporting him as far as i know .

losing the plot for jehoovah
by jacethespace inhas anyone ever met people whithin the kingdom mall that are seriously mentally unstable to the point of completly losing it?.
for example ive heard from members of my cong that we once had a guy who believed he was an angel and would try to eat the bread and wine at the memorial evening[ and the elders would stop him].theres been many others ive heard of.at one assembly a poor old guy was giving a talk and i overheard someone i know mention how " he gives good talks but hes had a big nervous breakdown over the years".
i was suspicous when i heard these things then but now all these things start to fit into place.i mean how can an organization who professes gods backing have so much mental instability.. .

Think it's 50/50 split. They attract the mentally unstable and they cause the instability / depression.

"The women knew each other through a Jehovah's Witness community in Central Islip, where both were members, officials and friends said."
"Police withheld Halvorsen's identity for four days because no next of kin could be located. But by Thursday night, her religious community had contacted a nephew who then contacted the county medical examiner's office, police said. Attempts by Newsday to reach Mueller's children and Halvorsen's nephew were unsuccessful."
Maybe their kids were disfellowshipped? Such warm family ties.....

In the new paperback NWTs they did not remove the other, they simply removed the parentheses that were an admission that they had added the word. Now they would like people to believe that it has been there forever.

New Light
by jefferywhat ini swear more new light is available here than in the corridors of the wts.
in leviticus the israelites are instructed not to eat things strangled or already dead, but if they do, they are only unclean, not stoned to death.
so why has it been upgraded by the wts to be this unforgivable sin?

I think it would be funner to make some "comments you will not hear at the Watchtower" at each family study..... That would likely get you sent somewhere....

You make sense. As in the subtle changes between the Bible I had and the new paperback NWT - just quiet things like removing the parentheses in Col 1:15......

Ever encounter gypsies?
by Gregor inthere is quite large community of them in this area.
the more you get to know them or deal with them the less you like them.
what a strange and ugly culture.

Well, I use the term loosely as it was the worst kind of insult for my Romanian ex-husband.
