Nobody at the hall thought it odd that one of the children had a sign on their back reading "This child is evil, she wets the bed..."? I would have made a phone call to somebody, but then again, there were sisters at my hall beating kids in the bathroom so much when they designed the new Hall they put French doors in to muffle the sound...kids screaming from getting beaten up in the back room makes it hard to concentrate...

This is getting a 5 star rating because of the number of Witnesses who are viewing it. I don't think I can stomach listening to the full version of "isn't that true"s myself. Hard to believe any New Yorker would take 5 minutes to talk with them, but it's possible we have just seen the edited version of the best of the best.

If you are happy, you are living in Satan's world and "receiving your reward in full", if you are sad, you are living in Satan's world and " receiving your reward in full"--they've got it covered.

Ever notice how nobody ever gets DFed for gluttony, materialism, or, for that matter, heavy drinking? I have known people who got a job even though their husband made six figures just so they could avoid service, but they were fine because of their social status. Or who pioneered for a hall pass on their materialism. Way down, nobody WANTS to go by the rules of this religion. It is an insurance policy just in case they need it, and the meaner you are in the name of righteousness the better. BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE THE SAME SPIRIT!!! I understand what JamesThomas is saying. Human beings respond to love. If the relatives know that your door is open and you drop bitterness (be mad at the org. not them) the day may come that they will approach you. We are all responsible for our own feelings, but I do feel for you in your situation and your perception of the situation is interesting and probably accurate. It is just so important not to have the same attitude that got them where they are now...I can see how religion in general has sprouted from the idea that we are all separate.

After pioneering 5 years I went from being really honest to counting time for anything that matched up with the phrase "I could be doing something else right now". So. The minute I left the house the time was counted and whatever happened from that point on was out of my control...the oppression of never having a moment of free time eventually got to me. Restrangled, my life wasn't as bad as your dad's but...that "self-sacrificing spirit" is so exhausting. One more thing about reporting time...my elder SO husband would hand me the files of people that needed to be phoned for their service time while he was upstairs watching an old Gilligan's Island. Lots would just tell me an hour and I would write it up...but I would wonder how an hour was possible. Even if you went out for a morning it would be...let's see...for me that would be...

I think her mom said something about her being a good mother...I feel really sorry for her. That hits a place that's...not even below the belt, it is a place in a woman that is Cro-Magnon. She thinks that someone will try to take her children away. How scary for her...
