How many JWs would offer their young daughters as a bride to a single GB member

by Chook in

i think the bragging rights of parents would rule.

i've seen cos marry girls no older than there own children when their spouse has died..

Just FYI. Someone told me that Mark Sanderson was engaged many years ago. He is 52 and never married. Can someone interview him how come he never got married or would he be interested to be married one day? I doubt it!

FFA - 4H - Conscious matter or not allowed?

by Jennifer Lehrer in

i was baptized 4 years ago, i have 2 little girls who love their bunnies, so this year we reached out to 4h and started our own 4h group - this was after asking the elders for counsel.

none provided.

now after doing this for 3 months i am being brought before a judicial committee for neutrality.

Jennifer, you might want to ask Simon to remove your name. I think he would honor your request since you are still in the org. You might want to register again and create your new username without identifying yourself so you wouldn't get in trouble with the elders.

What did NOT get you out?

by problemaddict 2 in

i realize this is odd, but a "how you woke up" thread and the personal stories that are told which i know we all enjoy, made me think of this.

in helping my wife and a couple others get the ball rolling, i realized the thing that resonated with me, didn't even move the needle with them.

i wanted to rail on and on about blood, because that was my conduit to waking up, but for my wife it was about shunning.

I didn't leave the witnesses because of any doctrines. Long Story!

How do you get over all the things that you missed? The stuff you can't get back

by JW_Rogue in

look my life is not bad but sometimes i just think about all the normal things i missed out on.

and no i'm not talking about christmas and birthday parties.

i'm talking about your first kiss happening in your twenties instead of your teens.

What is behind your choice of forum user name?

just curious how we all think.. what prompted or influenced your choice of username for this forum?.

there are some really amazing names, and it would be great to hear the stories behind them.... mine was nothing fancy.

i just felt "stuck in a rut too" along with so many others.

Iamallcool

Because I am so cool.

tragic news.

- limited information so far.. son finds parents stabbed to death inside north austin home.. abc7 chicago.

sunday 18 june 2017.. a son discovered his two parents stabbed to death inside a home on chicago's north austin neighborhood, police said.. he found his 67-year-old father and 69-year-old mother fatally stabbed in the 1400-block of north leclaire avenue and contacted police at about 1 a.m., police said.

Chicago is a very bad city to live in. Donald Trump once talked about bringing Feds to the City! I really do hope the son has absolutely nothing to do with the crime! I think living in the suburbs would be better than living in the city.
