  do you think any of the following experiences are true?

  my 76 year old mother and her 94 year old mother (my grandmother) are still regular pioneering.

  if anyone should understand helping the less fortunate it should be these life time pioneers.

  however, this is a conversation i had with my them yesterday.... me: mom, the girls (my 2 teenage daughters) and i have volunteered to serve breakfast and lunch at the soup kitchen new year's eve.

  Armagedden Suitcase

  by Magwitch in

  2. experiences

  my mother let it slip the other day that all the families in their hall are putting together a small suitcase.

  inside this suitcase are to be things that you will take with you if given a 5 minute warning that the great tribulation is starting and you need to leave your home.

  my father seemed quite embarrassed that this slipped.

  Help me with the logic of this

  by Magwitch in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was married for 20 years to a brown nosing, power hungry elder.

  his headship was so overbearing i was basically a prisoner.

  he would not let me associate with my dear parents (father an elder, mother a pioneer) because they were too liberal as witnesses (they did things like save seats at the assemblies when we were told not to).

  How many of you elders shared confidential things with your wife?

  by Magwitch in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i wonder how many of you truly kept things confidential.

  when i was growing up in 70's in a very rural community my father was the congregation overseer.

  thursday nights we always had to stay late after the service meeting while my father dealt with matters in the back room.

  Tried to fade away

  by Magwitch in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i left my chauvanistic po elder husband 2 1/2 years ago (after 20 years of marriage - ten of those spent pioneering as a couple).

  i took my two beautiful teenage daughters with me - he did not seem to care too much that we were gone.

  his main concern was the humiliation and aggravation of having to step down as an elder.
