i am beyond tired and sad, this has nothing to do with shunning, or throwing them out.
my heart hurts but i know i must stand firm.. r..
i don't mean to make light of the situation, but......Why should a 23 year old man get yet another car free? How about the subway? The bus? How about working as a taxi driver, the company leases them a car, I think.

lesson 1.3 is here:.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/20/126614/1.ashx.
i've seen countless men who seem to posess the mindset of "i need a woman to be happy".
However, if that person is taking away from our existing happiness, that person should be removed from our lives.
Sounds like a good sort of matter-of-fact closure for a relationship that has gone sour. This advice I do agree with, btw.
This Lesson 1.4 sounds like a good "last chapter" in your book with Lesson 2.0 perhaps belonging more on Chapter 1. But anyway, each reader can pick and choose what content and what order is best for them.

some of you asked for a scan of the february 15, 2007 wt study on wives being in subjection.
i forgot to mention, the one paragraph stresses that not only are you a second class citizen in the marriage, but women are also to "obey" the numbnuts in the congregation, even if you've got a higher iq:.
.
So even if it means death, women have to "be obedient" and follow Christ's model. What a bunch of manure.
How about reporting the abuser to the police and filing a restraining order?
That's not an option presented in the article because in the Watchtower world women have no rights. So Sick.

i'm starting to get the hang of this video thing.
i'm really happy with this video on the practice of shunning, as experienced by me on both sides of the fence.
i'm not angry - i'm just letting the facts be known.
Excellent! Good use of good old fashioned common sense.

he died from a heart attack on dec. 13th, 2003. google his site for more info.
he was 45 years young.
do you sweat the small stuff?
It's difficult not to worry about everything.
My mom always reminds me of this when I tell her I'm stressing over something:
"If a problem has a solution, then don't worry about it. (It has a solution.)
If a problem does not have a solution then don't worry about it. (Why worry? There's just no solution.)

unbelieveable!!!.
well, that was unbelieveable!!
just after i posted our latest ordeal with our jw neighbors, and their jw friends pulling down our frosty, egging our house and car, we got a knock on the door!
(oops, I corrected my spelling too late. I'm usually juggling three different things when I post. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to be on the board at all.)
But enough about me--- We should start a new section on the board:

unbelieveable!!!.

What an awesome turn of events. Your husband's line of reasoning is precisely what a JW sitting on the fence needs to hear. BTW, does he post here? We could use more smart people like him

for our world.
we need to stop.. just stop.. stop for a moment.. before anybody.
that may hurt anyone else.. we need to be silent.. just silent.. heart silent for a moment.. before we forever lose.
What an amazing young man. It's obvious he spoke from the heart.
I guess we all could learn from him to count our blessings. Thanks for posting this.
