  i've just booked some cinema tickets for later today and also ordered a book i want to take on holiday.

  from nowhere that scripture they were always quoting at us came to me, something about don't be planning ahead for the desires of the flesh.

  you always had to be planning spiritual, theocratic stuff, entertainment and pleasure were a bit dodgy, better not tell anyone.

  How else are you going to get stoned out of your mind if you don't plan ahead by visiting your local drug peddler.

  You are exactly right crazy guy.

  I don't know why more Jws can't figure that out. The priests demanded the sacrifice so they wouldn't have to work to feed themselves. Lazy

  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.

  they say women are hard to figure out.

  she is is proactive about retirement planning but talks about how things might be in the new system.

  she shuns one of our children (dfd) but put him as beneficiary one one of her life insurance policies.

  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 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it 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.

  at 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?
