17The next time I see the cart babysitters
by Sour Grapes inthe next time i see the jdubs standing or sitting by their carts sipping their coffee lattes or updating their facebook pages, i am going to approach them with the following thought process acting as an interested person.. do jw's believe the end is near?.
do you consider your preaching work to be urgent?.
why do you just let people walk by if their very lives are at stake?

Happy anniversary.
Mrs Done and i have just celebrated 1 day of marriage! Yup, just got married yesterday. Me an ex jw 40ish years in, she probably spent less than 40 minutes of her life on JW discussion before me. Met at work as we both were going thru divorces. She changed jobs, i changed jobs. She changed jobs again and ended up at my place of employment. And here we are.

PO or COBE or whatever hes called said if you drive a 2 door car you're not spiritual and very materialistic. A very young, just married, broke reg pioneer couple were about crying because they had a beat up 2 door honda and couldn't afford it or anything else

Watching that i get the feeling he has a guilty conscious. "Id never disrespect...." just screams " i wouldnt wear tight pants but i did something else, very very bad" i just get the overwhelming feeling his a super creeper perv.
Just my thoughts - may be worth excatly what it cost you..

Guilt trip
by Jrjw indid anyone have other jws try to guilt trip them when they were leaving or if you were making a decision which jws felt was wrong but wasn't unscriptural?
i'm getting people guilt tripping me to eventually get back with my emotionally, spiritually and mentally abusive husband who i'm separated from.
i feel sick at the thought of getting back together and putting myself through that nightmare again but i'm being told its what jehovah wants coz he doesn't want families to be apart.

Yes, they guilt tripped me to stay with an abusive wife. Worked for a few years. Finally got out and away and have never been better. You are right, once you are untuned it will be better and easier.

Did You Go To Meetings in Very Inclement Weather?
by minimus inliving in new england means having lots of snow and cold.
elders were very reluctant to cancel or reschedule a meeting due to the weather.
i lived 3 towns away from the kingdom hall and if it was icy and treacherous my vote would always be to cancel the meeting....and forget about rescheduling!.

My old hall almost never cancelled meetings. On the very rare occasion they called it off, they would reschedule for another night and then get mad at you if you had a part and couldn't show due to working.
I remember after the hurricane hit in Louisiana we had an assembly part where the co or do said "if the government issues a weather related warning, we need to listen and follow their instructions, not risking our lives by ignoring it". Very next winter we hit a bad snow storm coming in. National weather service issued a warning, stay off the roads unless emergency. Meeting wasn't cancelled because it means our life to gather together to worship. I didn't go that night

Do they officially give marking talks without telling the one marked?
by Wakanda inmy pimi (physically in, mentally in) friend believes she was marked without them telling her.
i believe her, and she has been making work for the elders.
she is a pain in their arse, and they are a pain in hers, which is great.

You commit a sin. Confess to elders. Repent. Receive private reproof. Next meeting they have a marking talk for you.
If you're repentant and privately reproved a marking talk doesn't seem to fit the pattern of loving shepherding.
