So is it easy for the GB to write stuff like this because they don't have children?

Feb. 15th WT - WT Society says DFed Ones are Lawless- Just Like Demons
by flipper ini would assume that some or a good number of us here as normal humans in this society - consider " lawless " actions to include murder , robbery, extortion, rape, child abuse, war , terrorism, etc.
the wt society has their own definition of what's considered " lawless ".
anything that's considered a disfellowshipping offense in the jehovah's witnesses is now considered " lawless ".

Just something I've noticed that makes me wonder...
by Mr. Falcon ini have found it very odd how much in-fighting and back-biting go on among certian boe's.. and it's rather strange that several (not all) of them will vent to me about how they can't stand this one, or they think this other one is out of line, or that elder's wife talks too much, etc.
or they whine about how many elder meetings they have to go to, or how they are frustrated because they have to deal with sister loudmouth-who-pisses-off-everyone-else.. and i sit there wondering why they would ever want to continue to do this job?
it's thankless, offers no compensation, rips you away from your family, and forces you to rub shoulders with company men and puts you in a position where you have to render judgement on someone with little or no understanding of what the psychological consequences to that person could be.

It makes you feel special and better then most everyone else. Power can be addicting.

Funny how your tastes in the opposite sex change, and how easy it is to forget the past.
by miseryloveselders ini had to give a talk away today, which came up somewhat unexpected.
i had a couple days to get this outline together, and thats sufficient enough time for me, but i prefer knowing a week in advance.
at any rate, it all worked out.

Yeah, it would be pretty funny if I could see all the boys I crushed on. Man I could probably fill a KH with them all. I...um...really liked boys when I was younger. I don't think any of them really knew though, being the shy girl I was. I have to say that I am very glad that none of those 1,700 crushes worked out.

Wow this sucks
by ranmac inmy decision to de-program my mind, about a year ago, has been fairly uneventfull, despite a few intense but very real conversations with my wife and parents.. however in the past couple days my father has pretty much made it clear to me that he will put the gb (not god, although they are pretty much viewed the same) before me.
also tonight the inlaws, who have probly gotten whiff of my inactivity and who never get personal, started to give a lecture on the extreme importance of the family worship arrangement so lovingly arranged for us by the fds, and how if we are not taking advantage of this wonderful provision will not be prepared for armagedon.
i swear blood was gushing from biting my tounge.. im starting to sense that consequences are coming for my sin of independent research and study.

I'm sorry. It's hard. I'm sure that NLW and I will have more of this road to travel too.

2011 Yearbook - "Tracing All Things with Accuracy"
by pirata in2011 yearbook - "tracing all things with accuracy", p.9-13.
jesus said that the faithful slave would be discreet in giving the domestics "their food at the proper time.
" christ thus indicated that those who dispense this "food" would be conscientious, prudent, and discerning in providing spiritual food for the household of faith.-matt.

"Have you ever been in love?"
by compound complex inhorrible isn't it?
it makes you so vulnerable.
it opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.

The agonizing highs and lows when you first start falling, coupled with the tingling of your body when you first kiss. It's an amazing rush. Then comes the more steady everyday love. Like being gone for a few hours and then hearing the sound of his voice again. It makes you smile. Or looking at his arms and hands and seeing the complete masculinity of them and suddenly you start wanting to kiss him. The worry when he's a few minutes late that he might be in an accident and you start to cry at the thought of it. The feeling of when that time comes you would rather die first then be left alone with out him. The kindness, sweetness, and thoughtfulness in him that makes you feel so completly lucky and underserving. Why should I be so lucky always goes through my head. Holding his hand when you are walking about and you just feel content. How he can make your feet pop out in a sweat when you are making love. The feeling of freeness to be yourself wholly and knowing you won't be judged. Finding him interesting and wanting to know what he thinks about a subject. Feeling so sexy when you can get him all bothered without taking a stitch of clothes off. Having your biggest supporter and cofindant by your side knowing that he always has your back. Yeah, I've been in love. I'm still there and hope to never leave it.

I sooooo so so want a gay best friend too! I hope that doesn't offend anyone. lol.
While I was a JW I remember thinking being gay was wrong but I didn't think it was a choice (thanks to different news articles). I guess I should have known I was going downhill in my JW beliefs when I started conversations and began arguing over that. Now I could care less whether someone is gay and find my family's strong aversion to it annoying. There is a secret part of me that wants to hang around with my gay BFF (if I ever find one) so everyone can see me and I can scandalize my family. Hehehee
