  Ladies, How important is it for you to have a VERY clean home?

  I like it clean. Very clean. But, since I am the one doing it (today, again), I have gotten lax. I don't wipe the trim down every week like I used to and I don't Swiffer every few days. I do have a very clean kitchen sink. We never have dishes waiting to be washed or in the sink. Ever. I hand wash them or put them immediately in the dish washer. I clean the toilets at least every other day.

  My husband wouldn't notice if mold were growing on the mattress.

  I guess I could be a slob. But if I were, I couldn't sleep. I'd obsess about what I needed to do.

  I guess I'm in the minority here......I'm glad Donny Osmond won.

  And they called it Puppy Looovvvve!

  I don't mind he won. When he sang that song, I laughed. I was a little kid and recall when it made the radio hits.

  10 million mormons can't be wrong !!

  I was surprised to say the least! I thought for sure Mya would win. I almost went to bed, I was so sure. (almost)

  I can't believe Kelly got into the finals. Granted, she smiled a lot, however, she danced like a Bear at a dinner party.

  Mya got my vote.

  The focusing on sports and every extra curricular activity along with an emphasis on education beyond HS is critical. Since the JWs really push that education is bad as well as the evil influence of other *worldly* children, your kids need to see that this position of the JWs is pure and total crap, baloney and hogwash. They push that extra curricular activites be stopped because of the time it takes away from Field Service and Jehovah. (gag) If your kids tell you they enjoy Field Service, they are totally lying. Ask they truthfully, when your wife is not around. I guarantee you they hate it.

  I'm sure they don't like going to the meetings either and wish you would get your wife off their backs. Why not push your wife a little? You, as the man, are Head of the Household, according to the JWs. You can make all the decisions and she is supposed to go along with them. (They are sexist bastards, BTW) This is the only time I would ever say be a sexist bastard) In this case, it could save your family.

  A Cult such as the JWs will do everything it can to isolate them and make them feel that anyone outside of the Organization is evil and bad. This simply is not true. We all know that (now). These outside influences will allow your children to see you, their own father, as not being evil and bad. This will also give them the open minds they will need to attend college and hopefully not get baptized and hopefully leave the Organization. Hopefully your wife will also someday.

  Leaving a Cult is difficult, however, it can be done. The key is not letting your children get sucked in if you can stop it in any way.

  Evil lying Manipulators OR Captive Duped Slaves Duping Others (or some of both)?

  i see many threads that address this issue, but i still don't have a clear thought on this.

  so i want your help.. the governing body misleads the members- no doubt.

  they do change some of their history to make the wt organization look smarter or better-guided by "jehovah.

  As an aside: Everytime I talk to my Mom or any of my JW relatives, it is all about the New System. Their whole religion is built upon the New System. That is a powerful way to get people. That piece of the pie, that hope for Everlasting Life, is a powerful tool. And the resurrection. Two things that, of course, have never happened, so it is totally blind faith. You have to do what we say, when we say or you won't make it. Faith and hope. Power for them.

  I believe that they are evil, lying manipulators. They know that it is a false *religion* and that they will lose their positions of power if it were ever disclosed that they, and their predecessors were a bunch of frudulent Wizards. People so badly want Hope. People so badly want to believe that there is something better and that they can have a piece of that pie. All they have to do is follow a prescribed plan.

  The JWs (Bible Students) came up with a prescribed plan. All they had/have to do is find people who are looking for HOPE. They are doing it as every other *religion* has done. Telling people they need to have faith. How can you question faith? Faith in something is built upon something intangible. You are going to just have to trust in *Something*. In the JWs case it is Jehovah. And by extention, the GB, the FDS.

  They know exactly what they are doing. The old saying holds true: Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

  Sylvia, the Lysol clingy stuff goes hand in hand with the brush. I use both then wipe the rest down with the wipes. It does smell good. I have to have a clean commode. DH? He could care less. As long as a seat is on it, he's happy.
