  hi guys.

  richard e. kelly has kindly contributed a great article to jwsurvey.org on the link below.... http://jwsurvey.org/child-abuse-2/bo-juel-jensen-could-he-be-watchtowers-worst-nightmare.

  richard tells the story of bo juel jensen, an ex-witness who has been doing marvellous work in raising awareness of watchtower child abuse mishandling in norway.. as with most child abuse victims, bo's story is a disturbing one.

  Hey DaCheech, how's it hangin'?

  I just learned that the word "gullible" isn't even in the dictionary. Someone just made it up one day and Merriam-Webster said, "No, I don't think so!"

  At any rate, yes, this sign is absolutely for real. And if you don't believe me just look at the thread topic it's filed under!

  If a non-JW receives a pamphlet from a JW, then tosses it in the trash bin after reading it, he has rejected "The Truth" and will be destroyed at Armageddon.

  how many here have heard such utter stupidity??.

  several years ago, during field circus, i was covering a seldom-worked territory which was a community of mostly busy working class people who usually sprung out of their homes every saturday morning to do grocery shopping, run errands, etc.. only a few would start their saturday morning doing yard work washing their cars, walking their dogs, etc.. but we would frequently catch most of the house-holders on the way out, getting into their cars.. so, needless to say, the use of pamphlets was prevalent in that territory.. on that saturday morning, i mentioned to the elder who had been paired up with me that most of these people are so busy that they probably just toss these pamphlets in the trash without ever reading them.. his response to this was something like: "well i hope they're not doing that.

  that would not be a good idea.".

  We're both out 2 years now- crossroads

  this is a personal post, so be warned!

  this is what leads me to post today.

  during our first year out together, we had so much to share and to have in common, the enemy of the organization now, birthday parties galore, going out and making friends with people.

  Greetings LittleMac!

  Congrats to you and your wife getting out together. Not too many are able to do that. I certainly wasn't.

  Still, I can relate to the challenges you have in redefining your respective roles in your relationship as you come to better understand yourself.

  One thing is certain regarding your marriage: You need to grow together or you will grow apart.

  This does NOT mean however that you both have to have the exact same interests or passions. Treating each other with kindness and respect goes a long way.

  You're not specific when you say your wife is growing at a different, faster speed than you are. But it does seem that you feel threatened by this. Perhaps it is simply these emotions that are the problem, not what she is actually doing.

  My wife (I am remarried) supports me 100% in the pursuit of my personal projects. Some of them she enjoys sharing with me, others she merely observes. She to has begun a new endeavor, volunteering in a local community service project. Usually we do almost everything together, but this is something she needs to do by herself for herself. When she first told me that I was a bit taken aback, but understanding her reasons for doing this helped me to support that.

  I hope my comments offer you some perspective and food for thought.

  It sounds like you and your wife are in for many more wonderful years filled with beautiful experiences to be shared together.

  my sister in law has been shunned by the family since she da'd herself at the age of 18 and moved out of the house.

  i always insisted that my wife keep in contact with her and made sure she knew she had a soft place to land,with us, should she need it.

  even at the risk of it getting us in hot water with the pioneer,elder,bethelite family members there was no way we were going to let her disappear into the wild blue yonder on her own.

  Great story, and it had a happy ending too, at least for you, your wife and your sister in law.
