what's your pet-hate witnessisms?
mine is 'in the truth'.
blegh!!
WE ARE SOOOOOOOOO CLOSE (magwitch - you will never go to kindergarten)
UNCLEAN CONDUCT
WORLDY PEOPLE (absolute scum)
THE FRIENDS (like some sacred, holy group)
KEEP READJUSTING (just like a car needs a little tune-up so do we)
FORNICATION (it sounds so utterly filthy)
information about four theocratic schools.
starting september 1, 2011, each year at patterson there will be 2 classes of the school for branch committee members and 2 classes of the school for traveling overseers.
branch committee members who have previously attended the branch committee school will be invited to attend a second time.
They must be 50 years of age or younger.
OMG - I am five years away from being in my sunset years.
Well, I guess since the society discourages exercise (bodily training) and a proper, healthy diet (how can a janitor afford Whole Foods?), and very little mental stimulation - it makes sense that at 50 years old, one would have one foot on the grave. No wonder they do not want anything over 49.
i knew it!
finally all that hard work is paying off.. -sab.
Ad ad on this website told me that they are going to help me lose 100 pounds. Wow, cannot wait to be 3 pounds!
Good Luck when you are a pop star - remember to send me money.
i've been married to the same wonderful woman for 37 years.
she's been a jehovah's witness for 33 of those years, i am not.
i studied with the wbts for a couple of years beginning late 1974 before deciding it wasn't for me.
You sound like you have been a saint for 33 years. But, when you open your mouth in any kind of opposition to the BORG, you are going to be looked at like the ANTI-CHRIST.
especially those of you married to servants and elders?
how did you feel about that?
did you wish the society would make more accomodations for dealing with children?.
JP - you use the word OFTEN. I laugh because my very, very important elder ex never, ever had a minute for his daughters. That included conventions, assemblies, meetings, service, and all the other hours of a normal 24 hour day (Never even changed a diaper). I was there for them every minute of everyday. It worked out to my advantage - I have 2 daughters in college that believe the sun rises and sets on me and do not have the time of day for their father - it was sooooooo worth it!!!!!
Because it is me - on one of the happiest and saddest days of my life (Leaving my oldest daughter at her new dorm last fall)
i tried this one before but my browser was broken.
come let us go up into heaven let us build our thrones their let us become like the most high!
these are satans words they got him and his demons kicked out off heaven!
75 years is good for me, no more is needed thank you.
okay, so my girls all moved out and we had three empty rooms and a lot of bills to pay.
so we decided to rent the upstairs room with its own bath.
we also have a three car garage and the single car garage is fully drywalled, has its own entrance and is huge.
I am so sorry this is happening to you! Get rid of her and FAST! This is not going to end well – so get it over with – do not prolong it.
Having someone stay in your home for anytime over a week rarely ends happily. I speak from experience.
if you were a male growing up in the congregation, it was expected that you would "reach out" for a position in the hall.
some of us did just that and others didn't want any "privileges"!.
i knew some people, especially "sisters", that really wanted their relative or good friend to be appointed so they might "change things".
Oh Minimus!! you're footloose and fancy free!
FREEDOM IS SO SWEET!!!!

I hated being an elder's daughter for 21 years and the PO's wife for another 21 years. I hated that it meant so much to my father and my ex!!! The congregation always came first - I felt like an orphan and a widow most of my life.
