I am trying to picture their "laundromat," irons and detergent sharing 'time schedule,' sharing of vacuums, and cleaning supplies, all peacefully. And the Bethel overseers, threatening if they don't clean well and thoroughly, they'll be dismissed.

Recent incident with lion and JW Governing Body member in Africa
by JWchange ini dont know if you are aware but i was informed recently that jw governing body member tony pants morris was in a safari park in africa.
he stumbled across a skinny hungry looking lioness with cubs nearby.

fortunately, your son has you. You have a window open for him, to get an open mind and heart. Hopefully, somehow you can present to your son simply that it is just his mom's religion but that you don't feel that way. Hopefully, you can present to him the alternative. But, hopefully, you can teach him respect for his mom also. It's a tight-rope walk, but it is possible.
(I don'.t know your whole story, I can't keep track of all the ones here)

See if she will read everything on jwfacts.com & see her response. Also. Have her read 'Crisis of Conscience' by Ray Franz to see her response. You need to knowledge up on the real truth of JW 'truth.'. -

THE WATCHTOWER (STUDY EDITION) JANUARY 2016
by wifibandit inpdf .
this issue contains the study articles for february 29 to april 3, 2016.. what about the number of those partaking at the memorial?12, 13. why should we not worry about the number of those who eat the bread and drink the wine at the memorial?12 in recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of those partaking at the memorial of christs death.
that trend contrasts with the decrease in the number of partakers that we saw for many decades.

It's like '75, the GB did all the hype, but put blame on rank & file getting excited (or more questioning), when all failed.
Now, the GB do all the hype of publishing the number of partakers of the 'most important' occasion among JWs and when the r&f get excited, then the GB drop the bowling ball of blame about r & f getting into it or, more, having questions to possibly understand this convoluted doctrine.

So why does the organization even publish the number of partakers each year then? The organization in doing so, and is the one that makes it a big deal.
The GB are the ones insisting on 'unquestioning obedience.' Of course, they expect the same out of so-called other 'anointed.' If one 'anointed' demands unquestioning obedience of another 'anointed,' it just doesn't make sense. The whole things is senseless and insane!
Maybe they will stop printing the partaker number this year?!
