  cain was sent away after killing his brother and then marries a woman,right?

  and this woman turned out to be another child that adam and eve had,right?

  so its not ok to kill your brother but its alright to marry your sister...do you imagine your father telling you that in this day and age..."look son you killed your brother,thats not good but go away and settle down with ya sister.

  Facebook has been specifically mentioned at all assemblies/conventions here for the past couple of years. Big no no, but then, lots of elders and pioneers are on it, as well as publishers. Guess they can't police it, but do their best to discourage it.

  Lukemia Witness dies due to lack of blood.....the horrific sad story.

  by Witness 007 in

  2. friends

  the nicest 41 year old brother i have ever met in my life, kind and helpful to all, goes for a routine blood test and finds he has lukemia.

  everyone was in shock, he of course refused all blood products advised by doctors.

  his blood cell count dropped dramatically and he began to suffer alot.

  Question for elder/ex-elders

  by TweetieBird in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why do elders, in judicial committee meetings when dealing with immorality, have to ask so many personal questions, i.e.

  how many times, was oral sex involved, anal sex, how many times, etc.

  is it really necessary or are the elders just getting off asking about someone else's sex life?

  I remember being asked if I enjoyed it when I confessed how I was forced by my fiance to have sex. I think they asked that because the rape wasn't where I was held and pinned down, it was more of an obligatory pressure kind of rape. I was baring my soul, already in tears and feeling utterly ashamed as I sat there alone with 3 men in my house. And I was asked if I enjoyed having sex? I think I huffed back a 'What? I was forced!'. I never did say yes or no.

  I've heard of cases where the female has been asked things like the colour of her panties, how short her skirt was, was she flirting with her eyes, were the lights on or off when it happened, how many times did she orgasm....etc

  I have hidden status updates from my news feed of JW friends on Fb. Can't stand the 'had a great day in service' or 'doing my pre-study before bed' stuff. Makes me want to barf. So, instead of deleting them, have just hidden them from my news feed...lol.

  AE - There are always talks at assemblies about social networking sites, and I know some elders especially in my area got on Fb just to watch some of the young ones. Didn't take long for the young ones to make their Fb private, and not accept the elders as friends though. It wasn't that long ago that the internet was frowned upon, then it was email and now it's Fb and myspace etc. They think everything is evil.

  Physical compliments: I am told I have beautiful eyes and a wonderful smile and teeth...lol. And that I resemble a famous actress (wont say who, that would give away too much of what I look like...lol).

  Personality: Frequently told I am too naive..lol. Very kind, generous and clever.

  Oh, and that I'm a neat freak! Though, is that a compliment?

  this jdub was out walking his two dogs when attacked by a pit bull, killing one of his dogs and causing injuries to his hand.

  he was from texas and now lives in melbourne.

  he comes from a very well known us jw family (uncles, grandparents in brooklyn, other uncles c/o & d/o, w/t life story of family...).

  I heard about this attack..so very sad :( Dogs wandering scare me. I often get scared just walking around my neighbourhood in case dogs are prowling. I was looking out my window other day when a great dane wandered into a neighbours front yard. It spotted her cat lying under the tree and immediately went into attack pose. I thrashed on the window finally grabbing its attention and then started yelling at it and after barking at me, it ran off. Close call for the cat. But imagine if it had been a child, what a scary thought :(

  Email sent, I did it

  by Heartbreaker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i sent an email detailing why i am not ok with my kids being with my (in the past) abuser father, and in turn mother (forgiver, hider, fascilitator).

  i also touched on the fact that we do not consider ourselves to be jws, or held to the laws and rules of such, nor do we view the elders or congregation as an authority on us.

  that she could print the email and give it to the elders if she wanted, but it would surely hasten the announcement of our disfellowshipping if she did.

  dear all,.

  in the four weeks or so since i started visiting this forum, the overwhelming amount of information my brain has had to process thanks to your fascinating contributions has been highly stimulating and thought-provoking.

  but it has also made me painfully aware of two facts:.

  I'm so sorry for your situation. There are a few others on the board in similar situations I think, hopefully they will reply and you can get to know them a little. I tend to agree with Isaac that it's your husbands guilt causing him to act this way. Hang in there...and I know you'll get some great advice from ones here :)
