Missionaries to vacate all missionary homes
by seenitall inlatest news from a source (missionary in foreign land):.
no more missionary homes anywhere in the world.. all missionaries presently in missionary homes must vacate.
must get housing on your own / from the locals.. circuit and district overseers have moved into many of these former missionary homes.. reasons: liability, cost savings, real estate to be sold or used for other purposes.. needless to say, many of these longtime servants are very unsettled.

Lois, you have a gift as a song writer. You should send that one to Bono.
So is this for real? Are we talking about all Missionary homes? I know that Gilead doesn't exist anymore. Is this a fallout due to this initiative?

So the GB can give advice beyond human reasoning, but they just can't figure out what this Modern day Assyrian attack is all about.

JW Wife complications
by manda63 inhi, my wife became a jw about 25 years ago and at the time while it all sounded crazy to me but i could see not wrong and have no problem with people having a religion , it started to become apparent that her choice of religion was almost cult like with all the controls in place.
we no longer have a social life together as she will only be with clan members not wordly people and i have stopped going round to her friends houses for get togethers becouse i am sick to death of being questioned and mocked about my beliefs,hearing other religion being called so harsh,wordly people being talked about as if scum and all the other haughty talk.
i am not allowed any material in the house that might be apostate,satanic?

Welcome to this Forum. I will say this much though. Your relationship with your wife is proof that interfaith marriage has merit. The WT has tried to prevent this from happening. But, the females outnumbered the males and they are told to stay celebate until a male appears.
You're a good man to want to stay with your wife, and for the sacrifices you have made.

Faders shunned now?
by Sammy Jenkis inhi all so my family had their c.a.
last weekend and my mother dropped this one on me, she'll now be treating me as a df'd person per info she received from a talk at the assembly.
apparently a fader should be treated as "bad association" given the fact they up and left the holy "truth" to splash around in vomit.. .

I recently attended my CA and didn't get that message. I got the loyalty meessage to the Soc (Not Jehovah) about cutting off a relationship with DF'd relatives.

by AuntConnie intold my husband to put a muzzle on my mouth over the blood dogma.
we all were driving around in field service when the topic of "which fragments would you take if you were in a car accident or cut yourself badly".
said his choice is a personal one, another sister with chronic health problems said she had no problem with the governing body's new light on taking various fragments.

I realized that this thinking of saving for your future took off a few years after 1975. Before that date, everyone was just about trying to pioneer, or get some recoqnition in the JW cong.
It wasn't openly broadcast to one another about taking a night course, or investing in business, People who did so were judged and gossipped against. They are the ones now laughing at the gossipers. They are sitting on a nice retirement as they see the economic picture of those who lived in a fool's paradise struggle.

Do you make your own soup?
by compound complex ingreetings, soup lovers:.
i have a huge kitchen at my disposal (not my own); vegetables, cans of this and that and spices are scattered about, prepared to go into a cauldron of minestrone i started a few days ago.
i'm preparing ahead so as to freeze the leftovers to heat up later at home over my hotplate.. nothing like a 6-burner gas range to simmer over!.
