Sounds like a typical JW experience. They are very much like that. I am so glad I am out of that organization!

There was a brother in one of the local congregations who did beautiful woodworking and made beautiful cabinets, hutches, etc. An elder and his wife in his congregation thought he should make some things for them for free.
My husband (never a JW) and I made the mistake once of renting a house to a JW. Once she was moved in, there were all kinds of things she decided the house needed and that we needed to spend money on including a bathroom remodel. At the same time, her JW friends tore up the yard driving in it and tore up a door. We finally had to invite her to find other lodging.
My own brother has been expected to work on cars for congregation members for free. He works shiftwork and would be expected to spend time he should be sleeping doing for other people. His wife was a part of that. She was always volunteering his labor.
I think there is very much an expectation among JW's that others in the congregation can do for them.

Snowbird,
I love head cheese. I don't eat it often, but once in a while I get a couple of slices at the deli and enjoy. My mom made great head cheese.
I used to eat pickled pigs feet when I was a kid. It was a treat for us. Don't think I would care to eat it now.
When I was a kid, I loved cold cow tongue sandwiches with mustard. If you grew up with this kind of food, it is not repulsive to you as it is to someone who did not grow up with it. We used to have oxtail soup, too, which I absolutely loved! and neck bones with beans.
Love this thread!

Did you write the book of Love - and do you have faith in God above
by StoneWall inthis song came on the radio earlier today and brought back so many memories.. as a teenager me and some brothers and sisters from the hall used to go over on the river rafting and intertubing.
while we where there this song would usually come up and we would all get together and start singing.
(even those like me who couldn't sing).. .

I had an UBM and was definitely treated differently. Not important to anyone and considered spiritually weak because I was unable to do all that was expected or as much of it. My kids quit going to meetings quite young with Daddy's encouragement, but I can sure understand why because they were treated badly. Why did it take me so long to open my eyes?

How are you going to stop a dog from peeing on the mailbox post? Don't think so, especially if it is a dog just running around the neighborhood, which is not supposed to happen around here because of the leash laws, but does happen all the time.
If I was walking my dog, I would not let her pee on a mailbox post, but our street is really the only one in this area that has mailboxes out by the street, and there are only 4 houses on this street. The rest of the streets around have have the mailboxes on the side of the house.
Actually I never thought about this before, so if we had been walking along and she started to pee on a mailbox post I might not have worried about it because I figured it was somewhere a lot of other dogs had peed, so what's the difference. It's not like they could pee on the mailbox itself.

How about .............
You cannot have a tubal ligation or a vasectomy.
You cannot raise tobacco.
You cannot do some type of work in a hospital, etc. in lieu of military service. In fact, where does the Bible say you cannot serve in the military?
At one time, they said you could not work for a company that produced ammunition that was sold for war effort.
No R rated movies -- and PG are questionable (CO Michael Emilio said PG stood for "pure garbage")
You cannot buy Girl Scout cookes or contribute to any charity that is run by a religious organization.
You cannot allow your children to be in Girl Scouts, Brownies, Boy Scouts, or Cub Scouts.
