If they've had any conversations where they both expressed some criticism of anything organization-related, she might revisit those subjects with him, and build from there. Of course broaching those subjects would best be handled in a conversation already in progress that could naturally lead to those subjects.

please help
by joyfulfader ini am posting to ask this group of wonderful people to help my friend who is with me now.
we are discussing her serious doubts and the barriers she is facing as the wife of an elder with small children.
she is desperately looking for help to pull away without causing dissention in her otherwise very good marriage.

A picture so outrageous, it deserves its own thread...
by cedars ini mean no disrespect to sd-7 or his fine thread on which this picture has already featured, but i think it is just so ridiculous that it deserves a thread all of its own.. lurkers and apologists, this is how your precious organization views itself.... behold the madness.... .

When taken to task over mistakes made at any level of the depicted hierarchy the response is always, "we're human, imperfect." I think an appropriate subtitle for this picture would be "Human Imperfection in Action!"

Yesterday Grandpa died a faithful JW.... or was he.
by cyberjesus inyesterday at 3 am my grandfather.. 95 more or less... passed away after a heart attack... i got the call at 8 am.
so i am the oldest grandson (out of 40) he was faithful, (thats what they want to say) reality is he wasnt, he cursed, he drank, he had plenty of women during his life.. he was an elder at some point and he was ultra good with everyone.
he had a heart of gold... he treated me as his son, he never cared about my status.

Today, the parties stipulated to extending the time for the WTS to file it's opening brief from January 7 to February 6, 2013. Should Watchtower file on that date and not apply for another extension, Candace's respondent's brief will be due 30 days later (in March).

Bravo Defianttruth and welcome! Try to stay optimistic about your parents' seeing the light before too long. After all, it is an unsustainable religion in its present form.

Good Reasons To Hate Every Weak And Ex-Jehovah Witness.
by AuntConnie in1. my husband's time is finite, it's wasted on spouses arguing over money, sex or family mattters with stupid home visits.. .
i hate people's constant open hand for money, it's the weak individuals asking others to pull their weight.
my family worked extra hours instead of begging the strong members for district assembly money, cat food for seven cats or tiny little rag-a-muffins weiner dogs.. .

I posted this in its own thread:
The California State Court of Appeal has set January 7, 2013 as the deadline for Watchtower to submit its opening brief (Appellant's Brief). Watchtower may seek a continuance or extension of the deadline for more time to prepare as these are easily obtained, at least in the initial stages. On the other hand, the interest clock is ticking. After the Appellant's Brief is filed, Candace will have 30 days to file her Respondent's Brief unless a continuance is needed. After that, Watchtower will file a Reply Brief. The Court will set a date for oral argument and after that will usually take the matter under submission. Sometimes a final order can take months to be issued.
Hopefully, we'll be able to see the Watchtower's arguments in the next month or so.
The Court of Appeal does not have the online feature of downloading documents. For Barbara or anyone else who wants to obtain copies of documents, you can hire an attorney service to copy the documents and e-mail them to you. If you need help with this, you can PM me.

Jehovah's Witnesses dismayed by new magazine format from Watchtower Society.
by Balaamsass inwow.
i was surprised this week by calls from active jws complaining about the new magazine format, and more begging for money from the platform.. frankly i was surprized by this reaction since this is old news to jwn members.
i guess actually shuffling to the bookroom and grabbing the new "awake tracts" minus the inside cover forward ...awakened many sleepy, catatonic, bored jws who never read the things or go on the internet anyway.. any feedback from other areas?.
