The guy who had them is named Michael Devlin. It's on MSN breaking news. I am so glad they were found. I know Shawn Hornbeck's family must have given him up for dead a long time ago.

Did being an elder jepordize your own family?
by avidbiblereader indo you think being an elder jepordized your own family or do you know of elders who burnt themselves out at the expense of the congregation and let their own families go to the way side?
do you have experiences that this laboring for the congregation has ruined families?.
i tried to be balanced but to do it all, i remember getting up at 2:30 am before work to work on parts so to have time with my daughter but i feel that i took time that was and should have been devoted to my family that had to be put into the congregation for any reason.

Just look at how many elders have to step down because of problems in their family and that will give you your answer. Of course, the other side of that coin is the elders who did not step down, but made their children move out of the family home so they could continue to be elders.

Special Talk on Saturday @ 3PM?
by Morocco ini was talking to a friend and he said the co (i think) was coming down this saturday for some special talk at 3 pm.
i don't ever recall special talks on a saturday, or as late as 3 pm -- what could it be?
unless i misunderstood that it was the co, maybe it was someone else.

Several years ago there was a Bethel speaker here for the Memorial. Both of the congregations in town rented space at the local community college for it so they would have room to attend together. Afterward, everyone was saying it was the best Memorial talk they had ever heard and I was thinking "What???" I was not particularly impressed at all and did not think it was anything special.

They sometimes have the pioneer meeting during the CO's visit on Saturday afternoon, don't they? Or is it a weekday afternoon?

Good, they ought to be shut down. I found the film clip from that movie very disturbing. Talk about brainwashing!

It has been my observation many, many times that JW's cut people off emotionally. So much is expected of everyone and there is only so much of one to go around. Regardless of what they say about being the only religion that shows love, very little of it is ever shown, but they are full of judgmentalness and gossip. I could relate to how you felt after the conversation, shaking all over. It is such a shame that they cannot see how unreasonable they are. Hang in there and love and appreciate the rest of your family who are not J-dubs.

Did You Find Yourself IGNORING What The Elders or Society Said?
by minimus ini realized that the manmade rules were so ungodly and more pharasaic that i began to tune out what i thought was blather and silly nonsense.
eventually, i would sit at the meetings with either a visivle smirk or an inward one because of the foolishness spouted!---------did you have a similar sentiment??
?

Love your name, too, minimus. Good topic, too. I ignored lots of things the elders and society said. Of course, my husband and kids not being witlesses helped me along that way. I took my kids to the Halloween parade every year and trick-or-treating, too. We watched movies that other witless parents were not letting their children watch. We listened to music together that I am sure the Society would disapprove of - Sublime was a favorite of my youngest son and me. In fact, he is trying to decide which Sublime song to have played for the mother's dance at his wedding reception. We had Easter egg hunts with the lady next door and her little boy.
Oh, and one of the latest things the Society came up with that totally irritated me is that children are a gift from Jehovah, so true Christians are not to get sterilized. Well, I had already had a tubal ligation in 1990, but I was pretty vocal to some people about that piece of moronic garbage. And everyone I talked to about it agreed with me, except my mother, who just listened and made no comment at all. But if I had not yet had a tubal at that time, I still would have.
It was not hard to ignore what they said because so much of it was so stupid.

JW roommate's neice wants to give her JW friend a bridal shower
by oppgirl63 inmy jw roommate's sister (not jw) called her yesterday to ask her if it was okay for her daughter to give her friend who is a jw a bridal shower.
my roommate said that it would be fine as long is it was in good taste.
i was wondering if it would really be okay since they are not jw's.

I have been at JW showers where sexy nighties were given and there was sexual talk and joking going on. My mother and sister, who were in a different cong., went to a shower once where there was a lot of sexual joking going on and the people involved got called on the carpet for it by the elders. I really think what they can get away with depends on the particular congregation they are in. Some congregations are more liberal.
