  Jonathan, I am so very sorry!!!

  I would insist your wife find new employment if she wants the marriage to work.

  I've been working full time and going to school full time

  I am sure your wife is very lonely (not making excuses for her though)

  Jehovah's Witnesses - A Child's Story.

  millions of children have grown up as jehovahs witnesses.

  lets start from the very beginning.. i owe my life to jehovahs witnesses.

  more important than what he was saying was who he was.

  SST- Thank you so much for sharing your childhood with us. It was a very sad way to grow up for those of us who had two parents that developed their personalities after Rutherford.

  Looking forward to more of your posts.

  Outright Misrepresentations of Quotes and Citations in Watchtower Literature

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the research of doug mason, annomaly, and others have been eye opening in regards to the society's recent articles on 607 bc.

  what i find most disturbing is the misrepresentations of scholars, who are quoted in such a way to say one thing, when they meant something completely different.

  it is one thing to teach a doctrine, and quite another to play fast and loose with the truth.

  Charlie - You make me laugh!!

  Think About It and Nugget - You always have good common sense - thank you!

  Cantona - your following comment really struck me -

  I wouldn't have thought your best friend would have minded.

  Breakfast of Champions - thank you for your input - I am realizing that this may be offensive to many people.

  New Chapter - Yes, silly and stupid

  Bella - Too funny. The cats must drive us to become over-indulgers

  Psacramento - OMG! - you so nailed it - she so needs to be serviced (I do not think she has many offers)

  Morbidzbaby - We are alike - I always tell anyone - take whatever you like - now it just goes without me having to say it.

  This is helpful! Thank you Ding and scooterspank.

  I guess I have a very "what is mine is yours attitude toward anything other than my kids and pets". I may need to adjust my thinking.

  Sorry to hear of your experience Ding!
