you might be a jehovah's witness if .
you know when nisan 14 is but you forget you own birthday.
you wash windows for a living but you own five suits.
You grow up not knowing any of your relatives or family line becauce they are not JW's. -AMEN!
I grew up in a town with dozens of cousins, aunts, uncles... many cousins my age that I never knew until a family reunion when i was in my late teens. Some of us even went to the same highschool!
will higher gas prices bring about some new light regarding field service?.
in the part of the u.s. where i live most of the territories require driving long distances.
some congregation members are unemployed and many are retired/living on limited income.
LOL GAS PRICES! I remember years ago when they canned the “book study” they claimed it was *in part* due to gas prices and the extra burden this put on everyone. What is ironic however is that they announced that they were putting a stop to book study in the summer time when gas prices were at their highest… and they didn’t have the final one until January of the following year. Truth be told they canceled book study because no one showed up! A 1 hour religious meeting seems like no big deal and easy to fit into your weekly schedule… however it turned into no big deal to OMIT from a schedule/budget. Growing up my family literally had 4/7 days mostly if not completely committed to meeting/service/congregation BS. That one hour meeting midway through the week was a real pain in the butt.
On top of that it’s not like those meetings actually contributed anything to our lives. They would often study the same book or same message over and over and over again.

i'm not even sure where or how to begin this.
my mother is extremely mentally ill. she has stopped taking her medication, she has stopped eating, she has stopped drinking.
she has lost over 100lbs in a few months and looks like death.
OP, message me. I have been down this road
a little boy was raped by his grandmothers husband while they attended an assembly.
similar allegations had been brought against him years past but it was hushed by the elders and no charges were ever brought due to influence, another child has paid the price.
the child came forward almost instantly and the local elders hushed the congregation almost as fast.
Sorry, I do not have the links to the news stories. He was arrested/charged nearly a year ago, the date on the website says 10/22 at the time it made brief news at that time. It didn’t stay in the news for long as most of these types of cases move through the news cycle pretty quickly. I believe the trial is over for him as he has completely disappeared but his wife is still in the area. Prior to his arrest he was put on 24 hour monitoring and not allowed to leave his house. I have tried to find the record of his trial but it appears to be sealed.
The main reason for me posting this is the fact that the local elders and the sheeple in the congregation have done everything possible to silence this. I don’t know the boy or his family but I do know the pervert, he did some work for a friend of mine in years back… ironically he is a tradesman much like most witness men who are not allowed to get further education.
