7Gave my wife something else to feel guilty about
by JimmyPage inas most of you know my wife was feeling guilty about our pre-marital hanky panky so she got the elders involved and now i guess feels better about it all, yadda yadda yadda.. so now i've opened a previously closed door in our marriage- something i had done in the past with "worldly" girls i dated- but not her.. let's just say it's frowned upon in wt-land but for some reason she's been following me around like a puppy lately.
and she reciprocates.. wonder if she'll be too embarrassed to confess this one.
or too happy.

Latest United Nations-End of Religion-End of World alert
by Questions1 init has been awhile since i've posted anything, but i got this e-mail from someone who is on the edge of falling out of the borg due to mental stress.
i've attempted to verify the information, even called the united nations, but haven't gotten to a person who can say if this meeting happened.
my gut says this is a contrived experience with many details just not adding up...but you never know.

Wedding Talks
by Alexia ina few weeks ago, there was a thread started on jw funeral talks and how horrible they are, but what about those wedding talks?.
talks that has nothing to do with the couple itself, but an advertisement about how wonderful marriage in jehovahs organization is.
*eye roll * the worst is when they have to bring up sex in the marriage in a wedding talk *barf*.

When I was married back in the 80s, the elder that gave the talk promised us it would only be 5-10, minutes...actually more like 45 minutes! My wife and I were so pissed but what could we do?

Back when I read "Crisis" I actually looked up the number of the publisher and imagine my surprise when I was able to talk to Brother Franz myself. We talked for quite a while and answered the questions I asked. A great guy. He has done more service to humanity than he will ever know.

Hey Tired of the Hypocrisy, I have the same dream hall!!! Seriously, I can't stop laughing. My hall was a converted Catholic church in Jamestown, California. Alas, I never thought to photograph it.

You are doing better than I did when I was in a similar situation with my wife years ago. I was always one who raised my voice whenever I was frustrated. Hard to stay calm. Anyway, keep doing what you are doing and stay calm and love her for the person she is in spite of the ORG. She may listen to you or she may not. She may leave the troof or stay. Mine stayed but we are doing pretty well in spite of the less than perfect marriage. I have seen this sort of thing escalate and it can rip couple apart. Be careful. I wish you the best. Nick

Funerals = JW infomercials
by Lady Zombie inone of the more asinine practices of jws is to turn someone's funeral into a borg infomercial.
every single jw relative i've had who has passed away, had an infomercial funeral.
hardly anything was ever said about them as people, except of course in how they served the borg.. "sister x was a very pugnatious woman, even into her late 80's, as i'm sure her family can attest to.

I would add JW weddings to the infomercial category. Mine was horrendously long because the elder giving the talk had to preach to all my unbelieving relatives. had to sit and listen to a 40-45 minute talk before we got to the vows. Even my wife who remains a JW thought it sucked.

Back in the early 1980s I was visiting my aunt in Gresham Oregon, a suburb of Portland. She was worldly but being a good witness that I was I picked up the yellow pages to find the location of the local Kingdom Hall. Well, I found it but I also found a listing for "Jehovah's Christian witnesses". I thought that kind of interesting.
Since I didn't have any wheels and I was only 15 at the time I called the kingdom hall and arranged for a brother to give me a ride to the Sunday meeting. On the way to the meeting I asked the brother about the listing in the Yellow Pages. He said, "that's a little organization we have up here". He gave me to understand that this was some sort of apostate group. I've thought about it over the years and wondered what the story was behind this group. Does anybody remember?
