@drivingforce... yeah, for now they pretty much leave me alone. Maybe one visit a year. The election signs in my yard may keep them away... -

@driving force. Unfortunately because now jws from across the US are clogging up the Starbucks on Sundays! Just a matter of time before they are knocking on my door every other weekend! -

How bad do the JWs need to be doing financially
by cognac inbefore they just go ahead and file chapter 7 or 11?

It's really all about debt. A company can be riding high and have a $4 MIL loan that they stop making payments on. The bank files for collection and the company seeks chapter 11 protection.
From what I know about WT they don't really borrow money. They tend to operate in cash. In my mind the recent cutbacks are a result of a sudden, unexpected drop in cash position. Or an utter failure in internal reporting of cash on hand.

Walked away in 2007. Woke up... it was a gradual process leading up to that.
Enjoy your new freedom class of 2015! Shake the fear off- one new experience at a time.

I'm sorry for your pain. I can't even imagine.
My 2 cents- start with you and her- no religion, no tablets, no nothing. Tell her how much she means to you, how much you want to be together, etc. Be romantic and try to woo her like before you were dating. But be honest and let her know that your love is independent of the jws. And you cannot be dishonest with yourself about how you feel about them.
Try to connect with her on a human level without all of the cult overhead.
Or open the safe deposit box...
Sorry again for your pain. And forgive me for assuming anything. I'm sure you've tried everything.

My mom
by cognac ini was just talking to my mom a few weeks ago.
she said, out of all her kids, i was the only one she didn't have to worry about as far as spirituality.
i always took a stand for jehovah.. she told when all of her kids were little, she gave us the option of not eating birthday cakes in school.

Your better off making her want to know your reasons. When she wants to know enough to ask you again, she may be ready to listen to your answer. -

No 'Tight Pants' policy is now official - classed as 'disturbing'
by wizzstick inin short:- tight pants is no longer just a am3 hang up (or is that a hang up on the well hung?
)- brothers who have effeminate body language are flagged up- as are sisters with 'masculine' hair styles or dress- such dress is 'disturbing to the congregation'- the above must heed the (repeated) counsel from the elders...or they get stripped of the right to share on the ministry- however...this will not be revealed (announced) to the congregation.
wow.

I think we're missing the point. Who at Bethel would have the clout to make someone not go in service?? The foundational activity of all JWs? Even a reproved murderer can go in service.
Anyone anyone... Bueller Bueller
The Legal department.
My read- this is a typical homophobic conflagration of homosexuality and pedophilia. They think they're being proactive by preventing homosexuals from going in service.....
Thoughts?
