This is true. They've all been preparing a suitcase or backpack for more than a year now.

Armagedden Suitcase
by Magwitch inmy 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.

My thoughts exactly, orangefatcat.
Notice how the little girl focuses on "the nail" in his hands. The mother tries to turn it into something good - "He didn't stay dead, he went to heaven with Jehovah."
But the girl can't focus on anything but "the nail" because she's too young to be shown pictures of people nailed to anything through their hands.
IMO

wife took it pretty well i guess...it's over...
by oompa ini guess it only took three years, but they were hell in so many ways for both of us...she was not happy and lived in denial as much as possible...i was not happy and lived in a bottle as much as possible and glad that is over for me....but it was one of the saddest things i have ever experienced in my life....as was the visit to my parents before i told her....but yes...she said she kind of expected it...was thinking something was going to happen soon as she noticed i had more and more trouble saying i love you back to her when she said it on the phone at the end of goodbyes...and when i was leaving the house...i had noticed it for over a year and it was killing me..... i told her how sorry i was for changing so much again....and that she still walks on water...and is a great person and so pretty....and that she will be ok because she was happy single before me for many years and had all she needs for that again...her closeness to jehovah and her freinds in the congregation...she is very close to both and will be ok i hope...it was very surreal....very calm...very sad.
my bitterness and disdain for wt rules came through when talking to my parents and i was very open about how i feel as to their upcoming shunning of me, and how it feels to my son since he was just 17....and how the fear of losing them had kept me trying in my marriage for the past few years...dad was firm in his position of future action....mom said they will still always love me...and will still talk to me until i get dfd.....oh how this hurts.....dad said there is a name for people who only live for themselves and deny god but could not think of what it was....i told him i was not living just for myself...that i am a good person and there are values from him and the bible i hope i always have....i cry so hard as i type this and tell you just so you can know how painful this is....i told him i so loved the rule of treating others how you want to be treated and have always done that...even allowing myself to be wronged on so many occasions to keep peace....... he said that was a good rule....i agreed and said it was a big one too....and that while i could do it...treat him the way i would like to be treated...he would not be able to!.......left as i became emotional...big hug from mom, but i just barely put an arm on dad............oompa.

Knock it off, yesidid.
There's more to this man that what you see on this board. If his wife were here, I'm sure everyone would sympathize with her, or Ooompa would be kicking our asses,
Sorry, oomps, I know you can defend yourself. I just don't beleieve in kicking someone when they're down.

Fact: You cannot come and go freely from the Jw's.
That makes them a cult.

LITShort,
I understand completely what you are saying. I started a thread called Giveyourself a Mental Makeover. No one was really interested in it, but I think it makes your point. The WT org is breeding depression and mental illness because of it's guilt-riddled way of forcing people to do its bidding.
You are absolutely correct.

Man Vs. Woman---The Organization's View
by minimus inwomen in the "truth" are considered lower than men or even male children!
for years, females couldn't give talks in the ministry school.
now, interperters who are female must wear a head covering as if they were teaching, mot merely repeating for fear they might offend the angels!.

There was (is) an elder in my hometown that is notorious for treating his wife like crap. I think the only reason he has never been removed is because she has never complained about it and takes it all. (Her dad beat the crap outta her and her mom, so I believe this is the only way of life she knows.)
I could tell alot of stories about how he treats her, but I'll just tell this one: We were on holidays with them and having lunch when another guy staying at the same resort walked by us and said, "You ladies look like a million bucks today!" Well, she started sobbing, left the table. I asked her later what was the matter and she said,
"IT WAS JUST SO NICE TO HAVE SOMEONE SAY SOMETHING NICE TO ME."
Someone in their family made the comment to me that "Their relationship works for them."
WTF??? It doesn't matter if it works for them. IT'S WRONG!!!!!!

According to bookstudy, it's ok to beat wife.....occassionally
by JWinprotest ini apologize if this has been mentioned, but i don't have the time to come on here as often.
yesterday's bookstudy on divorce got my shorts in a bit of a knot.
apparently, according to the god's love book, a wife could consider legal separation from her husband if she is physically abused, but (get this) only in the case of extreme physical abuse, and if the wife's life is in danger.
