Enjoy.

When you were a dub, did you shun DF/DA'd people?
by exwitless inactually, in my 14 years as a dub, it only came up with one person in our cong.
who got pregnant out of wedlock (and used drugs during pregnancy).
she was df'd but still came to most meetings.

Never.
Apart from anything else, there's no excuse for rudeness, and I'm not the type that cared what others thought of me anyway. As long as what they did never affected me in any way, that's their business, and generally doesn't change what type of person they are anyways.
...and yes...I did get 'spoken' to many times for not doing the 'shunning' thing, but in my opinion, shunning does more harm than can ever do good.

How many happy JW marriages do you know of?
by Bonnie_Clyde injust reading frequent flyer miles on the subject of feeling guilty for having a happy marriage with a non-jw.. in our congregation which i haven't attended for about a year, i can only think of two or three who seem to be happy.
of course, i don't know what happens behind closed doors, but i know of several who admit they are unhappy.
i wrote out a long list of couples who have divorced over the last 20 years--including three elders (one is on his second divorce).

An alternative to this is neither one buys into the whole "headship horse$h*t". That's our situation. My wife has spirit and I love that about her. We are definitely a partnership. I've never pulled out the "headship" trump card in our marriage. I've stood up for things I've felt strongly about, but always on the merits, never on my "God-ordained position".
Can't agree more. I have different views to my husband on some things, and vice versa. It leads to healthy debates! We work well that way. I couldn't imagine a relationship where I would have to 'obey without question' and be 'submissive' to him. I've never been that way inclined, it would literally drive me insane!!! I think this is the only way to have a healthy relationship. Anything else could lead to harbouring resentment of some sort. Also, the 'headship/head of house 'power' can be abused. I have seen this first hand. I just want to 'smack' them for treating their wives in that way, and give the wives a kick up the a** for accepting such behaviour.

One from my sister when she was 4...in the local shopping centre at xmas and Santa was handing out lollies to all the children. Of course, my parents being JW's said that she couldn't have any and that Santa was a bad person. She stopped, hands on hips and said in the loudest voice..."well...what's he ever done to you?"
And my own kids...
My eight year old recently had a number 2 haircut like his Dad's. He proudly went into show his dad, announcing that he had the same hair as him...except for the 'bits' missing on the side!!!
My six year old daughter, when asked if she would look after her mum and dad when they are older, said "yes...and I'll buy you a wheelchair as well!!!"
They do make you feel special!
(oh...and I laughed so hard at bebu's story, I had tears rolling down my face!)

Speculation.....
by winnie inwith the settlement of the 17 child abuse cases, now that there is approx another 7000 pending lawsuits (or so i have read), if the wt settles (or loses) these cases if they ever reach the court rooms, what do you think the outcome would be??.
i think that (i'm praying it happens) this will ruin them financially and be the end of jw's..

I know they have plenty of money, but I read somewhere that each settlement was in the range of 3-4.5 million. At that sum, if more continue to be settled or won, their money will run out sooner rather than later.???
