have anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?
its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .
if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?
Open Mind...I shared this article with one of my neighbors this morning...This is the email he just sent me
I must be living in a parallel universe somewhere. Let's see..... it's okay for a spouse to smack another spouse; it's acceptable for a "growed ass" man to shower with boys....... I just need to pray to Tebow.....

It was about 1990 when Louise Zenke was disfellowshipped for enjoying alcohol too much. She was in her 80's, raised 4 super zelous kids (the two sons being real heavy weights at Bethel- norman and howard). She had been faithful and zealous her whole life. How 3 elders could not forgive a senile old woman for drinking too much (in the privacy of her home) I will never understand. She did not drive - so it was not like she was going to run someone over.

I have so many great, fun friends now that it is hard to miss the unhappy, hypochondriac, hypocritical associates. However, I do miss playing Scrabble with my old friend Ruby - Wow! She was one awesome Scrabble player.

i thought some of you might like to see some of the notes i took to keep myself amused/awake.. we had a guest speaker from the local old people's home bethel.

A brother might look at us the wrong way
I loved those looks - most encouraging part of being a JW - gee I miss those days
1) when confronted with evidence of child molestation, doing the bare legal minimum is not enough morally.
2) a carefully honed and managed reputation can be destroyed literally overnight if immoral actions / inactions are brought to light.
3) no matter how "high up" someone is, he is still accountable for his actions / inactions, and will have to pay consequences for wrong choices.
Not at all James...Why do you ask?
thanks to our new car- a fiat 500 sport.

I may never have to buy another car again
Only because Armagedden will be here in a few months and we can take whatever cars we so desire.
just got the word that we have a third theocratic ministry school.
this will be in a part of the kh that has poor lighting.
i know that many will need the assistance of additional lighting.
No one in my old hall would be qualified. 8:00 P.M. on a weeknight without having a drink yet? Everyone usually had the (withdrawal) shakes by the time the back school started.
