Honestly it's an old boys club. Your husband get a free pass for being a jerk. and You find a man who treats you wonderful, and they will hang you out to dry for it. It's typical. Women are always told in abusive situations to "be a better wife". Like it is some how all your fault.. typicial. Could it be that your husband implied that since his lap dances were really "grounds" in their eyes, that your moving on with someone else is what gave him grounds. Could be he set you up like that. "Hey I just had a few lap dances..she gone and fell in love to a guy who treats her wonderfully! HOw dare she!! See she sign this, saying I free"

A WTS prophecy that actually came true in our time...
by dozy ini used to have friends that worked in the department that dealt with news release at assemblies and we always had a chuckle at the press releases that were carefully scripted with the usual fill in the blanks (bethel speaker , attendance , number of baptised etc) for distribution to the local newspapers.. most responded by carefully filing the press release in the b (for bin) file , but some newspapers print the press release in full.
i couldn't help but laugh at the one for the 2009 district assemblies which helpfully includes the observation that the audience broke out in spontaneous prolonged applause at the conclusion of the assembly.
this does seem quite remarkable considering that it was written in a press release written many months before the convention actually took place.

OMG I have a hilarious story about the spontanious applause! I was at an Circuit assembly, and the family sitting infront of me had one of the kids who kept nodding off. Well at one point the speaker is going on about something and just as he was saying that..the mom jabbed the kid awake. He jumped and slapped his hand just once. Which triggered the entire assembly into thunderious applause. No joke, the speaker was very confused and appeared abit angry that people were clapping when they weren't supposed to be.

Nearly 100 years of Devil's "short period of time" (Rev 12:12) - Ridiculous!
by yadda yadda 2 ini was reading this article on http://www.watchman.org/jw/1914hst1.htm and this paragraph struck me as particularly interesting:.
"apparently the society feels that the judgment period has stretched too far.
its been over 80 years since the judgment began in 1914. they are now saying the bible, "does not show that such judging would continue over an "extended period of many years" (watchtower, 15 october 1995, p. 22).

What I never got is are we IN the 1000 year reign or not. I mean Jesus sat down as king in 1914..so there for he is REIGNING.. so were in his 1000 year reign? So everyone who keeps talking about the 1000 years of paradise is wrong they only got 900 years not to get there act together. HMM If Jesus is sitting on his throne, like they say in 1914..and the big A isn't here yet..and were not in paradise yet. And he isn't judgeing or sort persons out yet? Just exactly what is he doing? They don't seem to know... I think that in itself is a HUGE loop hole. If only these people could REASON on what there told. I don't see how they can't see little sence it makes.

part of the reason I never installed the WT CDROM on my desktop that I use all the time is I was wondering if they got clever enough to add spyware to monitor you computer usage.. I wouldn't put it past them honestly.

List of Prominent JW Urban Legends...
by Tuesday inhey folks,.
i'm wondering if you all could help me with my next video that i want to put up in the next couple of days (though i'm hoping for tonight), i want to come up with a list of the most prominent urban legends surrounding jws and then refute them whatever they may be.. i'm thinking there's the urban legend about the question on jeopardy that said the nwt was the most accurate would be a good one.
that one stems from an online powerpoint presentation named theological jeopardy and a book which was written comparing six different translations of the bible.

Oh I forgot I also heard the FAMOUS Urban Legend "Nasa and the missing day" Read from the platform! I knew right away it was BS.. I remember lookign around with everyone having that "awe" expression on there face. That was the day I started doubting everything! I tried to tell some people it was a popluar urban legend. They wanted to hear nothing of it. Making all excuses that "it was heard from the platform by a BROTHER" and "of course NASA would deny it ever happened". UGH..

Lets see I heard one where a sister lived in a trailer or a small shack of a house. A angry anti witness mob showed up with torches to burn her house down.. just as they were about the to throw their torches. It rained....
I heard that one of the Eagles had become a witness, I googled it found nothing to that effect. some sister even had a tape of "him" singing his own songs about the kingdom. Which I found odd cause the society FROWNS upon making up your own kingdom songs.
another was told to me by the woman it happened to. some guy had her by the throat and she SCREAMED Jehovah as loud as she could...and the man let go and ran away. She thought it was a miracle. I think he just ran cause she yelled.
I also heard of one of a sister "in another country" where she was about to be killed and some how the men who were supposed to kill her couldn't see her. or something. I think she rolled in ditch and they couldn't find her.
I remember the last day of the circuit assembly the last talk was always FULL of these "miracle" experiences. Don't hear much of them anymore.
I was told once the reason I was having nightmares was cause demons were after me.
Also if anyone else that is "worldly" has a miracle experience where they say and angel helped them or something. It is automaticly assumed Demons saved them. Only dubs get to brag they were saved by God..

HAHAHA we had Harris.. I rememeber he was having his last day at the other congregations who's Hall we shared, we had him the previous week. He was leaving and out congregation was going in. and a sister from my congregation SHOVES through almost knocked me in my butt just to shake his hand and say goodbye making a fuss over him. TO me it looked like he OBVIOUSLY wanted to go home and was annoyed with hold up.
We did have an elder removed once no idea why (I suspect messing with the children..) he finally get appointed. Then he doesn't last a month. It seemed like the week after they annonced he was an elder they were saying he was removed. LOL got to love it..So much for appointed by Holy Spirit..
