I can't remember the 'Most Important Date of My Life!' Can you?
by Diest ini honestly cant remember the exact date when i was baptized.
it does not bother me one bit.
i didnt have it stamped in that shitty reasoning book/babel that i got at the time, so i guess the only place i could find it would be my cards, which are far away..

I asked my mother recently if she ever, ever once had a doubt that this may be "the truth". She said absolutely never once. She knew when she was baptized in Lake Michigan in 1939 at the age of 8 that this was the only truth there was.

Failed Marriages..."Born ins"
by xelder init is impossible to unweave the complex cobweb of a failed marriage and totally understand it, let alone to generalize the occurance for many other couples.
but, let's assume the case of a marriage of two typical jw born-ins.
as far as jw's go, they grew up without major disfunction, still talk to their parents, etc.. in cases like this, how many of these couples are still together?

I wanted someone super uber spiritual. We were both regular pioneers and he was an elder. I was a born-in, (as were my parents and 4 grandparents). My husband was only baptized for about 6 years (yes, a babe). He had been a big time cocaine dealer in the late 70's, and when he became a JW, he was an over-the-top witness. Absolutely no balance at all. We were either in service, at a meeting, or preparing for service or for the meeting.
He was also a total male chauvinist. I was not allowed out of his sight, unless he was in an elder's meeting, then he had to concede. We had nothing in common except the religion and after a short time of living like an Afghan woman, I began to question things.
I stuck it out 20 years. One day I just said no more and walked away from the marriage, the religion, my town, my home and all the acquaintances I knew - wisest decision of my life so far.

Elder's wives
by Zordino ini still go to meetings (sometimes) mostly to acompany my wife and kids.
i have known of jw friends of mine that have gone to elder's for family problems, dispute's with other cult member's or those hemroid's that just won't clear up.
whatever.... i personally never ever told an elder or elder's a stitch of info about my personal life or trouble's etc.

I was an elders daughter for my entire childhood and then an elder's wife from age 20 to 41. I will have to say that my father let things slip and frequently. However, my husband NEVER, EVER revealed anything confidential. He was as silent as the grave, and I do believe the entire body was the same way. I was so wrapped up in my children's lives that I honestly did not care who was doing what in the congregation. I was focused solely on one thing and it had nothing to do with anything or anyone spiritual.
So not all elder's wives really give a rat's ass what goes on behind closed doors!!!!
