i think my head is a little messed up from my recent relationship with a man who is a jw.
i attended a few meetings and bible studies with an older woman who i met at the first meeting.
i am not going to become a jw because i can't give up holidays and birthdays, but i do have a few questions.
"What exactly is so bad about being a Witness?".
a poll is being taken by the british newspaper "the evening standard" as to whether or not britain should invest 100m in a new mosque for the olympics.
i have to admit i'm a little confused as to why folks would desire to have their tax money invested in paying for a religious building, given that religions are already tax free.
i don't see a similar offfer to build a new cathedral, synagogue or hindu temple, nor would i want to.

sorry to still be talking about the memorial but i have been busy.
well i wanted to tell you about this.
you know from my avatar and comments that i have been looking into religions and their descriptions of ufos and extraterrestrials in their holy books.
No fooling here. Dead serious.
You are right. The society used to claim that Jehovah's residence was in the Alcyclone star (Pleiades constellation) . No fooling here. Dead serious:
i do not attend the same hall as my boyfriend because he is currently reproved for being involved with me.
i'm not a witness.
he confessed to his elders that he had sex with someone outside of marriage after his second divorce was already final.
Oh Lord. It will never end unless I just come out and say something mean and nasty to him.
This is about YOUR safety now.
Say thay YOU decided to brake up and stop all contact. Just say it.
Have you talked to some friend nearby about this? Additional support can become a protection.
Please, don't let him decide your actions nor drag you along his confused road. Even from the outside, this guy is bad news. And no. Love won't change him.
All the best,

moscow, march 27 (ria novosti) - russian military intelligence services are reporting a flurry of activity by u.s. armed forces near iran's borders, a high-ranking security source said tuesday.
"the latest military intelligence data point to heightened u.s. military preparations for both an air and ground operation against iran," the official said, adding that the pentagon has probably not yet made a final decision as to when an attack will be launched.
he said the pentagon is looking for a way to deliver a strike against iran "that would enable the americans to bring the country to its knees at minimal cost.
Oil aside, this is a tough one. Invade and you get China and Russia as renewed enemies for a while.
Thing is, Iranians will go gerrilla, which has proven extremely effective in Vietnam and recently in Somalia, Iraq, Lebanon and Afganistan. Expect a vote to re-establish draft and a few decades of face to face combats.
On the other hand, do nothing and we get nuked; You know we will.

There are so many wrong things with this situation that I can not beguin to list them all. This is a mind-controling religious cult! Don't get onboard for someone's sake. Hellooooo ...... wife #3 ...... the pattern is not right.
Realize that now he is not a healthy or functional individual. In addition, he is a member of a collective, which he needs AND fears simultaneously. There is nothing you can do for him as he is not even trying to exit, but drag you down a path to gradually renounce to your privacy and your individuality until no trace is left of critical thinking and all hope and souvenir of happines vanishes.
Choose your battles. Realize that you are not 'saving' him nor you are getting a man; You are getting a programed -and seemingly- confused interface to a religious cult. I wish I could be gentle and explain you softly in this time of pain and hurt. But lady, you are flirting not just with a deadly cult that will sacrifice your children without a second thought (Re: blood transfusion), but with an unbalanced man without mental and social stability. You know what you have to do. I see the way you write and I see a well educated person with intelligence. You have done NOTHING wrong and you have tried enough. Get a friend nearby, and finish this unfair and dangerous relationship in one defining motion, and don't ever look back. By the way, cancell all Bible studies and be very asertive about it and hang up when done, as JWs train for YEARS to envelope people undergoing a crisis like yours.
No matter what he replies back, you'll look back one day and will be proud of doing the right thing. I promise you.
Respectfuly,

...he told me I was under demon attack because he was having bad dreams and hearing invisible cell phones ringing.
THIS is as good as it gets. I am serious.
I am sure that by now you have appreciated that to him, there is no compromise, no middle ground, no reasoning but only reactions based on implanted phobias.
Cut it out. Take the hit. Cut your losses and move on before he and the Watchtower REALLY beguins to screw your life, your mind, your spirit, your self steem and your immediate family relations.
Better cry for a month and move on than be afraid and misserable the rest of your life. Very important but very simple choice.
Respectfully,
Gerard

they're cashin in the real estate for mo money, mo money, mo money.. moo who wishes he had mo..
I have been unable to find again this article where NY City officials were anoyed at the WT for dogging millions in taxes from prime real state locations. The move of operations out of town and selling off may have something to do with that.
can someone tell me what exactly to expect at the memorial thing tonight?
i have never been and don't really want to go, but i also want to satisfy my curiosity about what happens there.
i know i can't eat the bread or drink the wine.
The only 2 times I went with my wife, both times I almost broke down in laughter when the speaker rambled on with something about "not contaminating ourselves with a woman."
So there you have it: women are TOXIC. Seems like Jeehover said so.
Oh, yes. And a bunch of dudes walking up and down the corridors, counting people, wispering between themselves and in general, trying very hard to look bussy.
