  what's feminine indictment??? I don't know that and I'm one of the "bad dubs" that went to college! lol
  
  Most of the facecrime occurs when i hear stuff that I know is BS and I have to keep from cringing or laughing. Usually during public talk or in service.

  What was the reason why you were never made an elder or Ministerial Servant

  by twinkletoes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the reason i heard constantly by the elders, as to ones spiritual progress in the organisation was, .

  "brothers are appointed by holy spirit.".

  if this is the case, why is god speaking to himself when he says in 1 tim 3 v 6 .not a newly converted man, for fear that he might get puffed up with prideetc.. to re-iterate if god appoints elders, why would he give himself this advice ???.

  You have to "reach out for it"
  
  In other words, Kiss Ass and play JW politics. I won't do this just to leave later on meeting nights.
  
  They claim that FS time is the #1 but I've been above the average for the last year and no MENTION of MS. Not like I mind :]

  The only thing that's changed since distribution of the Tract is that it's being used more often than Newspaper to line birdcages.
  
  Yet JWs are bracing themselves for "persecution" and think it's a real big deal. But then again they (we?) think that anything having to do with us is a big deal.

  Sirnose, its a fight against facecrime constantly:
  
  "Facecrime (an indication that a person is guilty of thoughtcrime based on their facial expression)"
  
  Bubble, I don't think ill be living a lie for long, 6-9 months I think. After those events I believe that Darth Frosty is right. A showdown is coming, and probably sooner than later.
  
  Brenda, you didn't jack the thread, I think your comments are right on point! It did seem like a denial statement. All JWs make these. "Im not brainwashed! No-one's abusing me!"
  
  truthsetsonefree, wow, that's some endurance. Good for you.
  
  theListener - I think as most zealous JWs go, my wife is not that judgemental. BUT, being a zealous JW Forces you to be judgemental about "conscience matters" that the FDS turn into rule (R-rated movies, M-rated games, college, myspace, etc.) So your on point. I will consider this
  
  I did discover during the argument that my wife still judges me for our differences in "conscience matters." I don't watch R-rated movies (to be on the bandwagon), but I do play M-rated games and haven't budged on the matter. She mentioned that I had a whole bunch of things that offend her! (Isn't it hard to be married to someone who actually uses their conscience!)
  I guess me not taking a dump all over myspace was the last straw!!!
  
  Funny, I feel closer to you all than most JWs I know, and your comments display a true concern for my situation. Thank you!

  inlove,
  
  I'd say that it's good for you to go with him for support, especially since he's got the shunning to endure. Just keep your guard up there. You'll be entering a building with 1 guy brainwashing a room of 100 yes-people. Don't become one of them. Keep your wits up.
  
  PM me if you need any advice.
  
  Is your husband trying to be reinstated? How long has he been DFed?

  Does anyone else think there's any significance to her bringing up "Im not brainwashed" Could that mean that she considers that she COULD BE. Because I NEVER used those words.
