I know I'd never make it in bethel. I'd sooner bust my ass for a "worldly" corporation and be able to pay someone to make my breakfast than work for free in that sweatshop.
Besides mrs hoser is not submissive. She's been told that by the CO.

Cognitive dissonance at its best.

I'm sure this happened somewhere at some time. I know if I would have continued in the "full time service" I would have probably considered offing myself. Those were the most depressing years of my life.

Brother & Sister-in-Law Return to Kingdom Hall After Two Decades, Quickly Get Stumbled
by TMS init was a mild surprise, learning that a brother and sister-in-law had began re-associating with jehovah's witnesses after at least 25 years of being away.
the couple, of hispanic ethnicity, are in their early 60's, with their five children all grown and independent.
the family had been considered nominal jws, infrequently attending meetings, rarely in field service, but using the annual convention as their family vacation.

Listing Bros cv's in their intro
by purrpurr inat the assembly i noticed something new and disturbing.
when a brother is introduced before a talk the audience is now given their life history/ major accomplishments .. "brother arsehole who served at bethal for five years, pioneered in the foreign language territory for ten years, is an elder in x congregation and serves in the construction projects blah blah blah".
this puffing up never used to happen?

What I understand from this letter is:
Keep preaching because we told you to but if you get caught and thrown in jail we didn't tell you because it is your personal ministry so don't expect any help from us.

Is your wife married to you or to her parents?
ive seen a similar situation happen with a friend of mine who wasn't "spiritual" enough. His wife would take her parents advise over his.

It's easy to say but hard to do. BE YOUR OWN PERSON.
You will drive away the people you don't want or need in your life. Those that stick around are your real friends.
The majority are those that will use you if you let them. The minority truly care
