The practice of sending kids alone to doors is dangerous. In one nearby village, I did a check on convicted sexual predators, I was astounded to learn 9 lived in this tiny village. The housing is cheap, many of the homes have been converted to cheap rental units. The reason I looked it up was, my hubby had been out in service with a sister and her beautiful young daughter and niece. The mother kept sending the girls by themselves to doors. Finally, my hubby told her not to send them to doors where they could not be observed from the street.

Kids being Sent to the Doors Alone
by TOTH ini saw something weird yesterday on my way out the door.
a hispanic jw mom had two kids of about ages 10 and 12 with her carrying invites to the memorial or maybe to the special talk.
anyways she sent the girl up the stairs alone to place whatever and the boy to a downstairs apartment.

Reading the accounts of these childrens' deaths at the hands of various religious groups is an exercise in sheer madness! What a tragedy so many of these kids lives were lost due to the cult entrenched beliefs their parent have. How very sad.

I Just Found Out That The Elders SAVED A Seat For ME For The Memorial
by minimus ina few weeks ago, i visited my mom and a couple of elders and a young ms also came by to see her.
while i was there, the elders invited me to the memorial and i was very polite with them and thanked them for their invitation.. i just spoke to my mother and she said the elders saved 2 seats for my mother and i !
they seemed confident that i would show up.. unbelievable!.

There were a lot of empty seats last night at the KH where I was coerced into going. The numbers do seem to be going down around here.

Why are there so many adverts here for mail order brides?
by Glander ini swear, i have not been visiting any sites that would tie in.
if i look up info on, say, a particular auto i expect to be clobbered with auto ads.
but ads for asian, russian, etc.

Why not ads for mail order Asian husbands? With all the gender selection going on in Asia, and the plethora of men to women ratios, one would think they would start marketing themselves on the Internet.
Any that look like Daniel Dae Kim would be really great to look at!

Judicial Committee Meetings Sexual Matters
by Celestial inanyone had three elders (judicial committee) question you on sex before marriage?.
case in point, being raised as one of jehovah's witnesses, i partied with peers that were witnesses by tradition, inherent faith.
at the age of eighteen (1992), i was conversing about the elders with a group of witnesses, and a girl who had been before a judicial committee chimed in and said, they ask questions that are none of their fucking business.

Once upon a time, at a JC meeting, one of the elders asked 'about how many men did you do it with'? I was annoyed and thought this is none of his business...so I lied. He acted like he was REALLY interesting in all the details, which is completely unnecessary. He later got DF'd, divorced and was jobless...a fitting end.

So What Would You Do If You Won $550,000,000?
by Mary inok, so the mega millions jackpot is at half a billion dollars.
if you won and decided to take it in a lump sum, you automatically lose 40%, then there's state and federal taxes, so you'd actually get a 'meazly' $240,000,000.. what would you do if you won that kind of money?
other than donate a chunk to the world-wide-wit-lessing-work..........

The idea of a charity for disfellowship JW kids would be a great idea, it would really be a thorn in the side of the GB!
I would travel to tropical islands in the winter and learn to surf. In the summer, I would vacation in Austria.
My parents and brother would refuse any of my money, as it would have been received by illict means.
My apostate brother would be given a chunk, and hopefully be able to improve his life.
My hubby wouldn't be above accepting a ranch and a new truck.

I took the pill as a JW many years ago. I never asked anyone for 'permission' before I got the prescription.
It is nice to know that my main purpose in life is to bear other human beings...I have fulfilled my duty...lol! Here I was hoping to find meaning in my life, and I totally missed why I was here...

Just make soup. Break out a loaf of bread. Something very small...or collect money for take-out pizza.
Maybe, if it is just her and her son, she is lonely at supper time, and wants to have human interaction, a family type meal and doesn't realize she is being obtuse. If her not helping with the dishes bothers you, why don't you suggest "Jane, why don't you help me dry the dishes.
