  OTWO,

  I just downloaded that book to my Kindle.

  Thanks for the suggestion! The Levite concubine story has always bothered me, and I'm interested in his take on it.

  This is a perfect example of why I love this forum. No JW does this kind of research, because they are not allowed to look at outside sources. Or even THINK for themselves.

  Way to go, Followed My Heart!!

  This Site Has NEVER Been About Having 100% Freedom Of Speech

  i get a kick out of the posters that get upset over realizing that their opinions are not always appreciated.

  the forum owner has made it plain that he calls the shots and not everything expressed by posters will be accepted.. folks, that's thev way it's always been here.

  simon will call the shots.

  Having been pushed around and bullied pretty much my whole life, I've learned to stand up for myself here.

  And Alice, being the biggest, meanest bully on any board, helped me to learn to do that!!

  Heads up, the Local Needs part this week is a special talk on blood transfusions.

  a brother called me to ask who was delivering the talk at our hall.

  i didn't know what he was talking about.

  he then explained to me that this week, for the local needs, congregations across the us will have a brother deliver a special outline on blood transfusions.. .

  It almost seems as if they are hoping the decision will be taken out of their hands and given to the doctors to decide.

  Like they're not going to revoke their stnad on transfusions, but here's a loophole......

  People who harrass others when they're grieving.

  i'd like to hear from anyone who was disfellowshipped but fully intended to go back as soon as possible and how that worked out or didn't.

  i'd like to hear how soon you went back to meetings, how many letters requesting reinstatement you wrote, how you were treated, and how long it took you to get bitter and jaded.... or in the off chance you had a positive experience, what exactly happened.. really struggling here... thanks!.

  JWs and Infant Weddings - Marry as young as legally possible

  by doubtful in

  it sickens me to hear the venemous propoganda against the evils of higher education.

  they talk so much about how it consumes valuable time during one's youth - how it takes away time from pursuing spiritual goals like pioneer service, missionary service, mts, bethel, etc..that's one of their biggest talking points in their argument against a college education.

  their other point is that we shouldn't be preparing for a long stay in this system, so why the need to prepare for a lucrative and satisfying career by attending college for 4 years, when time is running out, and the big a is literally right around the corner...it shows a lack of faith in jah's promises and a materialistic attitude..etc.. yet..they never say anything about the countless thousands of teenage or near-teenage weddings!

  I was 17 when I got married, and I felt railroaded into it.

  I know of several in my hometown who got married at 15 and one who got married during the summer between Grade 11 and Grade 12. She laughs when she tells a story about staying home from school one day because her husband was sick. The school called to tell Mrs. XXXX that her daughter wasn't in school and she replied, "I am Mrs. XXXX". The school said, "Oh. You're THAT one."

  I'm sure it was an excellent witness.......

  Interestingly, ALL of these marriages were to much older men ( over 10 yrs older ).

  also, those called and chosen and faithful with him [will do so].. .
