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 sitting at the recent assembly, bored out of my mind (have you ever heard anyone call these things fun?
) and the next speaker walks out on stage.
he starts off with an illustration.
me ?
my after meeting ritual, is getting my suit off, and a beer in my hand....in less than 2 minutes from entering my door.
so what have you got?.

so, my wife is surfing facebook today.
comes across a post by a jw "friend" of ours titled "8 scientific reasons you should never smoke weed.".
it turns out to be an article actually showing evidence to the contrary!
It will be interesting to see how the society handles the legalization of cannabis. Especially since they cannot use the old fallback that smoking destroys your lungs because a lot of the pot today is inhaled by vapor pens or eaten as an edible.
Really good article!
joined the site, not that i have much to share.. i'm married to a jw (wife).
i never have been or will be a jw, i honestly hate the wt (not the jws).
being married to a jw, can sometimes make you crazy, i never believed any of the bs.
Happy that you are here!
I know what you mean about the day being ruined when you have to attend a meeting that evening. It took me years of being out before I could find anything good about Tuesdays and Thursdays. They were cursed days for four decades.
the borg's tactics on most jw work.
they put fear into their mind, they guilt trip them and basically make them scared to do anything when they are away from the kingdom hall.
it allows them to control every aspect of their life.
