one congregation phenomenon i have observed in a variety of halls - older, not so model material brothers have a real chance with younger, attractive sisters - and often at the prodding of the young sisters parents and congregation members.. and if you have a little more scratch than the average jw brother (which isn't hard to do with a bunch of window washers), you really have an advantage.. a 40 year old man walking through the mall would have zero chances with an attractive 18+ year old girl.
but take that same man, who has been faithfully attending meetings and doing all the right things and put him in the kingdom hall and suddenly anything is possible.. sad, but true.. of course, who wants all the drama that comes with a girl that young - but it is something i have observed.. when i was in my early 20's and came back into "the truth", and i had a few dollars - and i had so many sisters tripping all over themselves for me... and the ages range from late teens to late 30's.
it was crazy.
Yes he is very well connected. He even succeeded in pestering the elders to have me disassociated without any JC or anything. They annouced my DA and the new wife's baptism on the same night back to back. Out with the old and in with the new!
It really bugs me how easy it all is for him and how the congregation just fawns over him. Blech!
I am doing very well, thank you!
How are you?

Well of COURSE! Nice catch Think About It!
He did get her pregnant the month she turned 18 (which to me implies they were having sex before her birthday). After he was disfellowshipped and reinstated, she got baptized, and 6 weeks later they are married with their 1 year old in the wedding with my two girls.
Such a sweet JW story huh?

My 36 year old ex husband just married a 19 year old girl last week. He of course had the full support of the congregation. Ewwwwwww
i won't be going if i can help it, but id like a heads up about it, just to be forewarned.
Not I! My last memorial was in 2004. I have to attend 2 meetings since then under extreme duress. Both times my little girl had a part on the TMS. It was awful, torturous, agonizing and I only went for her part and then at halftime.
i've often said that the term/description "atheist" tell us so little.
the author below provides some descriptions that are more meaningful.. .
upon reviewing the list, i'm of the opinion that "religious atheists" are very common, but they are also likely to be "closet atheists".. .
I don't care what you believe, just don't try to shove your beliefs down my throat.
Same here.
I usually just stick with agnostic. I like the general definition "doesn’t believe in gods, but doesn’t claim to know there are no gods." As it gets more defined it's hard for me to find my place.

I love, love, love this point!
Unfortunately, it's hard to recruit people into a destructive, apocalyptic, mind control cult by being honest with them.

well, as my suspicious side suspected, my wife has rather suddenly flipped the script on me.
she got confused after i explained reality to her, and by coincidence the elders are now going to do a shepherding call on us.
after having read my e-mail (see 'drawing disciples after myself?
Thanks Chalam! I'm loving it here!
