a recent watchtower study article shows how bad it is to be rejected over religious beliefs when olga revealed that her husband was not speaking to her because she is a jehovah's witness.. 9 in south america, olga proved loyal to god by showing respect for her husband even under trying circumstances.
for years, he expressed annoyance at her for being one of jehovah’s witnesses.
he abused her emotionally, insulted her, refused to speak to her, and threatened to take the children and leave her.
When it comes to being passive-aggressive, JWs top everyone. She could have just stayed home. Instead, she waited outside the church to make a public display of her contempt for his religion and police who he may talk to and where he may go before and afterward.
Surprised she didn't set out her magazine cart as well. Gotta get those hours in.
so i can't stomach going to the jw site, much less spell the site completely.
but, here is my question....do you think they will announce on the site that they sold the brooklyn building for $700 million?
my bet is no!.
uk congregations of jehovah's witnesses[a].

since the move, it has been so enjoyable to not have jw's breathing down our necks asking why we didn't make the meeting, or having to pretend to be "spiritual" in front of family all the time.. 90% of my week is virtually stress free.
then, my mom calls or texts wanting to talk to her grandkids.
every dang call, she asks about the new congregation, if we went to the meeting, etc.. why can't i tell her to fk off?
The Raised by Narcissists sub-redddit might be worth a read.
i just texted a very good remote worker friend, said i heard that there is a reduction in force coming at bethel and i hoped he wouldn't be affected.

he said its true, its not a rumor.
It's unimaginable what it will look like 10 years from now.
Ideally only existing as a footnote in history.
a source tells me the following: .

He was the last Single C.O in UK.
Make of that what what you will.....
Oh? I think my theory stands. ;)
it's amazing how ones shun former witnesses or faders.
a couple of people said high to me that know i do not go but the rest no.
but the main reason i post is how ridiculous the funeral talk was.
I'm in two minds whether I'd attend my parents funerals. Partly due to knowing I'd be shunned mostly and partly due to the fact they are just infomercials for the Watchtower.
Had anyone who'd not met my grandparents attended their JW funerals I'd had been surprised if they'd learnt anything about my grandparents other than the fact they were JWs.
