We obviously had extremely different upbringings. Watching Hockey would never, ever have been allowed in my JW home growing up. Very violent and very worldy. In fact, if we had the nerve to suggest watching something like this, we would have had a Saturday night family study on why Jehovah hates violence.

I had a happy childhood with lots of love, however going to a high school football game on Friday night would have meant the world to me. I probably would not have taken all my clothes off and spread my legs for the entire football team, but the society had to error on the side of caution now, didn't they?

just wondering, how many wives of elders had influence?

by sowhatnow in

id wonder how many wives of servants had the upper hand so to speak, on issues, that of course, were supposed to be private, yet gee lets be honest, husbands and wives talk.

its nature.

so if you were a wife of a servant how much did you get involved?

My husband was an elder for the 20 years we were married. He told me ZERO!!!! Less than zero. Even things that were not confidential, he would always make sure that I heard them elsewhere.

If he could have had me take a vow of silence and wear a hijab he would have. I was after all a woman.

I am a sucker for all the homeless beggars in my town. I even carry baggies of dog food in my trunk for the ones with dogs. Will never give another $ to a religious group of any sort. That ship sailed.......

In the late 60s and 70s we had to drive quite a ways to get to our KH up in Northern WI. After the Thursday night meetings, in the summer, my dear father would always stop at A & W Root Beer. This was such a HUGE treat for us five kids and a very happy memory.
