I think the best marriages are when you are best friends. There is nothing that my husband and I do not share. We are each others best friends and I would not have it any other way. We will be celebrating our 28 anniversary soon.

WT-Says Moms Should not Work
by leaving-jws inthe feb 1, 2008 wt has an article on p. 28 called finding fulfillment as a mother.
the article basically states that moms should not work outside of the home but stay at home with their kids to teach them things about jehovah.
it also states that moms that want to work outside the home full-time do so not out of economic necessity but to boost their self worth, to obtain financial independence or to pay for luxuries.

Is just another way of the society controling the rank and file. Lets keep them poor, and uneducated so they will stay in subjection to the cult. I have always felt that the society as a whole thinks very little of women. The women are there to serve the men in whatever capacity they deem the need is.

Jehovahs Witnesses; the perfect cult for those who want to be miserable
by 144001 inno holidays, no birthdays, no school sports, no "worldy" associations, no extracurriclar school activities whatsoever, no higher education, no smurfs, no harry potter, no speaking to family members who have been df'd or da'd, and of course, total control over one's free time, are all characteristics of the miserable cult of the watchtower.. it seems like depriving witnesses of all joy in life is the objective of the watchtower cult.
i'm no psychologist, but i can't help but believe the "joy deprivation" inflicted upon witnesses by the exploitive watchtower cult is part and parcel to their control objective.
it's a way to measure just how much control they have over folks, to ensure they will drink the kool aid at the right time and upon command.. i was born into this cult, and left it in my early teens, after a rather ugly period of defiance.

My husband and I both came in at a time that was very stressful for us. We were at a low point. We had just buried both of our parents and my husbands grandmother within 10 days of each other, The JW spoke of seeing dead loved ones again and all living on a paradice earth. It all sounded so wonderful. My dad was only 54 and I was in my early 20's and had just had mt son who was the first grandchild . They got us in a weaked state and latched on hard.
