  Appears to be another case of "shifting the burden."

  by garyneal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my wife and i was talking about one of the talks that they had concerning marriage and how each spouse is suppose to put the other spouse first and that as long as both spouses did this, it would work out for the greater good of the marriage.. i agreed but added a point in that sometimes, either because of human frailties on the part of your spouse or some other reason, you spouse may not be fulfilling all your needs and sometimes you will just need to take care of your own needs.

  i tried to emphasize that this did not mean placing your needs ahead of the marriage or family or even your spouses, but simply sometimes we need to take care of our own needs and not always expect the spouse to do it for us.. she did not like the 'tone' and 'attitude' of my remark and when i brought up an example, it really set her off.. the example had to do with birthdays.

  since my wife is a witness, obviously she will not be throwing me a party, at least don't expect her too.

  Tell your wife she needs to get rid of her wedding ring

  because it may be connected with pagan origins

  The bible does not say that one cannot celebrate birthdays

  that a WTS rule, In that case if you banish one thing considered

  pagan why not ban all. What about the wedding ring and so

  forth. Yes they are crazy.
