i'm not sure if anyone posted these or not, or even if these are new.
i just saw them for the first time on the jw.org site.
it looks like they are slowly building up their online material.
I just have a really difficult time figuring out how a bunch of musty, old suits
in Brooklyn think they have ANY advice to give to anyone with children, marital
problems or debt. It's easy to dole out advice when you're nice and cushy in
your Brooklyn palace with everything provided to you.
you guessed it.... .

cedars.
My question would be, so who decides what "extreme" abuse is?
Leaving it vague, of course, putting the guilt trip back on the woman who may think,
well, it's not bad enough!!
thank you for all of your support durning the two difficult weeks my mother was on her death bed.
last night at 10:30pm she breath her last with my sister and i by her side.
this is a real end of an era for me as i have known little these past 8 years other than taking care of my parents.
Deepest sympathies to you and your family. I am going through similar thing
with my grandmother. It's only a matter of time.
after several months of leaving the meetings as soon as they ended or only staying for "the first meeting" then leaving the "second part", the elders finally cornered me at last night's meeting.. they said they were concerned about me and that being that i am a young brother in a recently divided congregation they saw so much potential in me to help out the congregation and become a ms.. i told them i was thankful for their thinking of me to help the congregation but that at the moment i could not due to my job.
then the began asking personal questions that got on my nerves.. they asked where i worked and how much i made.
they asked if i was going to college and what i was studying and for how long.
pulled this gem from the 2013 calendar.
well, at least you get to have outdoor meetings in the mountains of south america with touchans flying around.
no more windowless kingdom halls!

Yeah, I don't know about all of you, but that seriously doesn't look fun at all. The
picture is clealy missing wine bottles and iPads.
so i'm still going to the meetings...my spouse is still very much active...however, after i learned ttabtt...i feel like such a hypocrite in reciting (commenting) the wt writings and teachings at the meetings...in your own experience...how did you handle this situation?...and if you did comment, what did you say?...i still go out to service, however, i only use the bible and do not distribute wt literature...so far nobody has said anything lol.... .
thanks!.
What used to annoy me the most about commenting was the parents that instructed
their toddler to answer usually a one or two-word phrase.
I remember when I was about 5 and my mother tried to make me answer. I was instructed
to say yes, but when I got the mic, I said no. That seemed to fix things.
where can i plug in my i-pod to read my downloaded publications ?
.
there's a study article "make sure of the more important things", and in no uncertain terms the article makes clear that "jehovah's organization" is the most important thing.
the term "organization" or "jehovah's organization" is used a whopping 24 times in the article, including a subheading titled: "follow the example of jehovah's organization".
i thought organizations were entities, but that sort of subheading makes it seem like the organization is one giant person whose example we can follow.
Has anyone really looked at this photograph carefully? I transferred it to photoshop to
get a better look...trying to figure out what's behind the old geezers and what that
circle thing is to the left? It's kind of creepy when you zoom in. I'll try and post
it here....
.....some of the things he did and got away with , to me now is unbeleivable , and maybe to you.. in all fairness he was well versed in the bible and very clever how he used it to put a critic to rest at the doors and in one instance when i was witnessing with him , he demoralised a pastor of his church .and i was impressed at that time.. but he had some strange ways , he was always looking for someone to break gods laws so to speak .he did set himself up as the policeman for enforcing gods law on the congregations .
( this is my description ) he was known to stand outside bros/sis.
homes to see if he could find something incriminating against them .
There was the REALLY weird family that moved in when I was in my teens. He was an elder but
was really mean. I remember they asked me to babysit once, a boy and a girl. The boy was
a right terror and the girl was not allowed out of the bathroom as punishment for something.
I remember I commented on her pretty hair, and the mother snapped at me for complimenting
her daughter as it might swell her head. I called my mother and asked if I should let the girl
out of the bathroom. I was really bothered by it. I finally did and they weren't too pleased
when they got home. They never asked me back again, but honestly, I wouldn't have gone
back. It really creeped me out.
