  my wife was told a brother was going to be disfellowshiped, "how do you know this is going to happen?

  " sister so-so said "he was not repentant or humble to the brother's kindness.

  " instead of engaging into a heated debate, she knew who the leak was, so-so's husband.

  L.I.T.S. I can relate 100% to everything you just said. The only purpose I served as a wife was to improve his image as an elder. So, so happy that part of my life is long gone.

  Not all elder's wives are in the know. My elder husband of 20 years NEVER, EVER breathed a word of ANYTHING to me. He truly was as silent as the grave.

  Who pioneered with the promise of having 'Jehovah provide' and ended up dirt poor anyway?

  i ask this because the wt always bangs on about if you trust in jehovah and make that leap into pioneering, you will always be provided for.

  at the time i joined the cult, a friend was continuous aux.

  pioneering.

  In the 10 years I pioneered I looked as if I had just escaped from a Nazi concentration camp. I was absolute skin and bones - always hungry and exhausted.

  What happened immediately after your Judicial Committee was over?

  by civicsi00 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  whenever i went to my judicial committee (over 3 years ago), the elders opened with a prayer for jehbooboo's guidance.

  then they followed up with their loyalty question, "do you believe in the faithful and discreet slave?".

  of course i answered "no", and shortly thereafter i handed over my disassociation letter.

  I refused to show up. What went on with the man I dated for a number of years did not concern anyone other than my ex-husband, who was duly informed that he had grounds to remarry. Those 3 elders needed to get their erection somewhere other than the back room.

  2. experiences

  so i'm young enough to not remember having hot prepared meals at assemblies, but heard all about it from my parents and the like.

  but what i do remember were all of the cold sandwiches and institutional snacks and soda.

  remember the food tickets we started to use?

  I loved the hoagies that sat at room temperature for too many hours. A few bites of those on day 1 and I did not have to attend the rest of the convention due to dysentery.

  If I had a husband I really hated and my life sucked, it may be the perfect revenge.

  May 15 2013 WT: "REAL elders skip meals and lose sleep!"

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  finally we have the society's expectations of elders in print.. this is from page 9 of the may 15th study edition.... "as indicated by the experiences of the apostle paul, our ministry may result in sleepless nights and times without food.

  (2 cor.

  6:5) these expressions paint a vivid picture of self-sacrifice and may well remind us of pioneers who give their ministry first place in life while supporting themselves financially.

  "REAL elders skip meals and lose sleep!"........And have wives that loathe and detest them because everyone else is WAY more important.

  We will all be vegetarians in the new system, but Jehovah will provide us with trees that can grow bacon.
