am i the only one who has single, desperate sisters in the congregation?
they tend to be holier-than-thou, frumpty, but in private talk about getting married.
but they don't understand why no brother will look at them.
I knew a single sister in my congregation (she is now in her late thirties), she was basically held down all her life, no boyfriends, no experimenting, no nothing. She started a relationship with someone at the office, a non witness. Well you guessed it JC, disfellowshipped. She has been living with him for over a year now.
She is now on my list of one of the happiest people on earth.

Great work. But did you not feel sick listening to the moron Lett for so long?
the (almost) pacificism of the jws was one of the things that attracted me to the witnesses when young.
i wondered today, when i read this headline:.
pope francis suggests those in weapons industry can't call themselves christianat rally of young people in turin, francis issues his toughest condemnation to date of the weapons industry, criticising investors as well as workerspeople who manufacture weapons or invest in weapons industries are hypocrites if they call themselves christian, pope francis said on sunday.link: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/22/pope-francis-says-those-in-weapons-industry-cant-call-themselves-christian.
I was in the military myself until I studied with JWs, then I left.
Their position on neutrality attracted me and was one of the reasons I
became a JW. But oh how disappointed I was and disgusted when I found
out about the UN NGO association, and I have read reports that the
Watchtower own a significant amount of shares in a company manufacturing
the drive for a drone used in warfare.
submitted by the governing body for your approval!

I found it difficult to read the subtitles as I speak German anyway.
But I like the part where the woman says "... he's mentally diseased now ...", ha ha ha.

story just broke in uk!!!!
a woman who claimed jehovah's witness elders failed to protect her from sex abuse carried out by a convicted paedophile has won a six-figure payout.
This may open the way for further cases.
Absolutely great.

my wife has recently become very curious about my activity on my ipad.
i delete my browsing history but if she should discover this site and my identity here, she will gladly hand me over to the hangman, something i have managed to avoid for quite some time now,.
i hit the "sign out" button, but i find that i'm still logged in!
stillin I think you are in a dysfunctional relationship.
That is hard, because I am in such a relationship right now, and all because of the bOrg.
My wife use to use my iPad, so I bought her a tablet (as has been suggested), now she leaves mine alone, there is no reason for her to use mine.
of course, most of us realize this.
however sometimes even on this board sometimes threads have stated that the jw elders have been occasionally painted as the " fall guys " who take the rap for the wt society leaders - which of course is true - to a degree.
however- that being said , many times elders have failed to protect - or even have failed to advocate for child abuse victims when it has been within their power to do so.
They have Stockholm Syndrome
That is a very good point you make, and I remember with my own experience I thought of ways and excuses to believe the WT leadership for a long time, but the child abuse was just too much for me. As has already been mentioned in another thread the publicity for such things is just scarce, especially here in Germany, and to be honest I only heard about child abuse within the bOrg at the end of last year.

I talked quite extensively to a brother about the child sex abuse within the organization of JWs and how under the direction of the GB this is all kept quite.
His opinion; if the GB says that these things should be kept quite and the abusers are protected, then they must have a reason, therefore it is OK with him.
Needless to say this is not a person I want to associate with.
