you know, i knew a lot of bethelites and every one of them loved their booze.

as an elder, i would entertain alot of the cos, dos and bethelites and their wives.

do any of you have this problem ?

my hub is disfellowshipped and not in the least bit interested in this site , which i find amazing considering everything that has happened , its not even a case of him being to scared to mix with apostates because he doesnt like jws and does not believe they have the truth , when i try to tell him anything , he tells me hes not interested, end of conversation .

there is so much i want to discuss with him (regarding the child abuse thing that has affected our lives ) do any of you identify with this ?

what if you wen't back in time and stopped your mother from opening the door to the witnesses...and your family never came into the truth!!

what if you risked changing everything else in your life...not having kid's or the same marriage partner...would it be worth it.

for me it was bible reading, where you could express your own opinion, in line with present truth of course.. pre the change it was awful listening to some fool telling you his opinion of bible highlights.

Surely the WT wouldn't LIE about motel/hotel accommodations?!?
by RisingEagle in
1. jw
2. friends
i was eating lunch with 3/4 of my active jw family earlier today and they were bemoaning the idea that they were going to have to leave the central oklahoma area very early tomorrow morning to find a room so they could attend an assembly on the otherside of the state.

they had tried calling the 'approved' hotels and motels in the town where the assembly is being held and they were all booked.

so that left them looking at the rest of the approved list and having to travel as much as 50 miles away to get a room.

Do Individual JWs Pay For The Publications They Distribute?
by Joe Grundy in
1. jw
2. friends
excuse my ignorance, and i've read on boards about the us not selling/inviting contributions issue, but do individuals jws in effect pay for the publications they give out?

if so, is that only for their magazines or for hardback books as well?

how is this organised, please?.
