okay, i am in a bit of a dilemma.
since i believe in honesty between marriage mates, i have been telling my wife about this board and my participation on it.
i feel it is only right so that she won't feel like i have anything to hide.
You said it very precisely...just tell her that you respect her decision to stay in the organization but she should
respect yours to follow this website. Fair is fair. JW's always pat themselves on the back for their "tolerance."
It's about time they live up to that. I was raised as a JW so I can speak to this quite well. Good luck!
a couple years back i read posts re the lack of windows in the kh.
i think at the time i was still so close to the situation that i thought it was a bit extreme and surely it couldn't be anything like it was being made out to be: conspiracy on the part of the organization.. flash forward to recent days.
i have been attending our local unitarian universalists church (or universalist unitarian?
Windows....The Common Dangers.
i won't be going if i can help it, but id like a heads up about it, just to be forewarned.
Last time my mother asked me was about five years ago. I laughed and asked, are you serious?
Haven't been asked again!
over 2,600 years ago habakkuk asked god that q.what does the wt have to about this q.
"god really cares how we know.
do you like good food?
So what are we supposed to do? Tell the 800 million people
that go hungry every night that eventually (probably not in their lifetime)
they'll be fed, that they need to trust in God? I don't know about you lot,
but God certainly doesn't pay my bills. Yes, you can argue that God put lots of
varities of food on the planet, BUT you need money to buy it.
i just would like to open a little debate here on retirement and jws.
my mother, who is the breadwinner of the family, (dad's quite pathetic) is socking away money like mad for retirement.
i can't blame her, since i know she'll need it, but she's convinced that the end is so near.
Yeah, you're all right, of course. I should be glad she's saving but I guess it does mean that she has doubts.

I feel like asking her this question but don't want to add salt to the wound. But if the end is so imminent, why save? Do you think this is a sign of doubt on her part?
Anyone want to add their two cents of retirement to this?
just found out that there is a sex offender in my hall.
the "brother" that i was with said " the brothers will make sure that he is not put with any kids in service".
wtf !!!!
It's public knowledge..just look on the Megan's Law website to see what sex offenders are living near you. Those who are in denial can
check for themselves....or not. Scary. We had a few suspicious men in our hall when I was a kid. Weirdos.
those of us who've been around long enough will understand the title.
what we are looking for here are examples of the society's lack of taste.. for example, i'm sure our kingdom hall wasn't the only one in the 70's with dark brown carpeting that rose halfway up the walls and a nice trendy rubber plant in the corner of the platform!.
nic'.
I remember the seats in our NJ Hall were yellow, itchy fabric. Everything else was brown or green.
I remember the womens' bathroom the most. It was all pink and it always smelled. Also, the "second"
meeting on Thursdays was held in a musty, cold room in the basement. That was pukey green color. I hated it. Mostly I remember the
smells though, and how bad they were. Strange what we recall!
you guys might have read the article below before but this was the first time i was reading this and i certainly got chills from reading it!
i couldn't believe my eyes!
11 well, now, what about this disfellowshiped person?
This is from 1952? What would happen if they published that today? I should print this and show it to my mother.
