  i was asked recently by a still in friend (it was meant sincerely not sarcastically).

  "but what do you do with that scripture so far as not attending meetings?".

  i typed hebrews 10:25 in to the search bar but didnt get much.. .

  How to capitalise on recent unwise appointment with my wife.

  by disposable hero of hypocrisy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a brother was appointed recently in the cong, he's got a dodgy history, doesn't really have the respect of many in the cong.

  it's surprising to me, but i don't really care, good for him.

  my wife, on the other hand, is angry!

  I would say that you know of much worse men who were appointed than this guy...then act like the details are too horrible to tell her and that you could get in trouble for telling her...sneaky.

  If pressed, just tell her about some of the stories you've read here and say you can't mention names or it would be gossiping.

  My own daughter has much suffered; she will get justice in due time.

  just learned today direct from my beloved daughter that she has been abused between 5 and 12 years old by 2 brothers (her own cousins) and 1 family "friend".

  she has attempted suicide a few days ago.

  luckily she is living and she is not physically injured.

  So sorry for the horrifying situation. We need to find a way of thoroughly exposing the Watchtower Society to the world for the hellhole it really is.

  I hope your girl winot find a way to heal.

  hello one and all.. the local jws had a booth set up at my university today and something just came over me.

  i went to a computer, found a list of failed prophecies, printed and stapled it, and walked over to the middle aged woman and the 10-ish years old girl.

  the woman said "if you are interested in anything, take it for free.

  2. friends

  it used to bother me that people would say that about my well meaning religion.

  how do you prove that witnesses are indeed, false prophets?.

  Did not Anthony Morris III, current governing body member state in the US Branch/Zone meeting just this month, that if you have a problem with anything he says you should take it up with God???

  i've been a lurker for quite some time and enjoy the forum.

  i've reached a point in life where i don't argue ideologies anymore so i don't have much to say.

  i've been out for decades and believe i've been mostly de-cultabilized (if that's even a word).. my family is still in and i haven't had contact with them in years.

  Does having priveleges in the congregation mean you will have a successful marriage?

  by hoser in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after reading about tight pant tony's rant about sisters only marrying ministerial servants lest their marriage will be a failure what anecdotal evidence do you have to support this.

  the divorces that i am familiar with in the congregation show me that having priveledges in the congregation do not improve the odds of a better marriage.

  i would say about 60% of the divorces had at least one spouse who was a pioneer, elder or ministerial servant.

  I was married at 19 years of age to a 20 year old MS who had been a MS since he was 16. The marriage was miserable and we divorced. He is now makingwide number two miserable, I know, because she told me so!
