Would you have married your spouse if you weren't both JWs?
Nope. Our paths would most probably have never crossed and never met otherwise.
ok, i've had some wine, but i'm curious.
objectively speaking, but for the religion, did you have enough in common with your spouse to have met and married as non believers?

so there is this young brother probably 14 or 15 and the elders are already grooming him to do more for jehobadahhh.
most of the elders in this kh are old like 60+ and sometimes there are not enough brothers to do the mics or sound so you will see a 70 year old elder forced into action.
almost comical to see a brother who thinks instagram is an email service try to operate the sound system and projector as he plays the wrong song or brings the screen down during a prayer.
BTW, while I agree with the OP, the hunch about an elder being a 'pedo' is a cheap shot.
NOT so. Sometimes your intuition is a subconscious realization that there are not so obvious clues leading you to believe something.
Maybe there's an underlying homosexual leaning that the elder is trying to hold back on and his attraction for the young man is getting betrayed through very subtle cues. Cues that may not be straight (pun) out in the open but just an incontrollable reflection of hidden repressed desires.
Just sayin'
i had my previous toshiba laptop plugged into the wall five days ago when a sudden electric storm drove a jagged bolt of electricity earthward and fried my hard drive.
i posted my sad status on facebook.
guess who saw it?
it was announced recently, that "bro.
z is no long the coordinator(76 years old), bro y(60) is now the new coordinator of the body of elders".. you see, bro.
z has been an elder for 43 years and 35 of them as the cobe/po.
I had a similar exchange with our 80+ year old COBE when he was forced to step down.
His reply was that he now feels he's missing pieces in the puzzle. I took that to mean that now there are doubts in his mind whereas before he felt very sure about the organization.

well it finally happened!
we have been waiting about a year for this, my dfd husbands family asked us for money.
even though his own father hasn't met our 8 month old son.
I would offer very kindly if you decide to give it to them, to have them come over and eat dinner, and meet their grandson, and you will give it to them after the meal.
Brilliant response. I love it.
If they're truly under the WT spell, they'll turn down the invite for dinner because it's a DF'ing offense to have dinner with an ex-JW, isn't it? Or wasn't that 's the reason Ray Franz was DF'ed! :- )))
this may be old news to some while most won't even know who he is.
in case you don't know him, he was a jw that defended many of the jw doctrine publicly.
he did this mainly in the form of two books, jw's defended and three dissertations on the teachings of jw's.
That's Greg's Doppelganger, maybe his "evil" twin ;- )
BTW it seemed to me that Greg's heavily into space aliens and whatnots now, but I don't think he's a pastafarian at heart.
(Just adding to the rumors and gossip :- )

One of Donald Trump’s sons appeared along with a white supremacist while giving an interview on a conservative radio show, adding to concerns that the front-runner in the battle to be the Republican candidate in November’s presidential election is willing to accept support from extremist supporters.
Donald Trump Jr., who is actively campaigning for his father, gave an interview on Tuesday on "Liberty Roundtable," a conservative Utah-based radio show hosted by Sam Bushman.
During the show he was questioned by James Edwards, another radio host whose show "The Political Cesspool" is described by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a leading U.S. civil rights group, as "racist and anti-Semitic."
During the interview, conducted over the telephone, Trump Jr. talked about what a good father Donald Trump was and how his campaign is changing the Republican Party.
“It’s not a campaign anymore, it’s a movement,” he told his interviewers. (here)
Edwards said on his blog on Tuesday he would rebroadcast the 20-minute interview on Saturday on "The Political Cesspool." here
The show, founded in 2005 and syndicated by Bushman's Liberty News Radio organization, has featured such extremists as former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke and Holocaust denier Willis Carto.
Edwards also said on his blog he had attended a Memphis rally for the billionaire candidate as a credentialed media member last Saturday.
The Trump campaign, asked about an interview in the presence of the Tennessee-based Edwards, denied any knowledge of it. The campaign also said it did not know about Edwards' personal views.
"The campaign provided media credentials to everyone that requested access to the event on Saturday in Memphis. There were close to 200 reporters in attendance and we do not personally vet each individual. The campaign had no knowledge of his personal views and strongly condemns them.
"Donald Trump Jr. was not in attendance and although he served as a surrogate for his father on several radio programs over the past week, to his knowledge and that of the campaign, he did not participate in an interview with this individual,“ campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said in an email.
Edwards, in an email, directed questions about the interview to Bushman, but said in a statement:
"My show, The Political Cesspool, promotes a proud, paleoconservative Christian worldview, and we reject media descriptions of our work as “white supremacist,” “pro-slavery” and other such scare words.
"As I clearly wrote in yesterday’s article, in no way should anyone interpret our press credentialing and subsequent interview with Donald Trump, Jr. as any kind of endorsement by the Trump campaign."
Donald Trump won a majority of the states holding nominating contests on Super Tuesday, accelerating his march to the Republican nomination.
He has promised to build a wall on the Mexican border, temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States and block Syrian refugees because they might be militants, all policies popular with some U.S. right-wing groups.
Republican leaders in the U.S. Congress on Tuesday condemned white supremacist groups after Trump earlier failed to disavow support for former Klan leader Duke, but the leaders declined further comment on Trump's White House bid.
House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan said any Republican nominee must reject any group "built on bigotry" while Senate leader Mitch McConnell said Senate Republicans condemned groups such as the Klan and "everything they stand for."

I saw the same illustrations when Obama was running. These posts tell more about the person posting them than what they could ever say about Trump.
Yeah, I agree. It says I hate any hint of fascist authoritarianism. Did I make it too obvious?
Are you a supporter of Trumpollini?
