when i think about where i am at now in my life, in my marriage, with my kids.
why did i get involved with this cult?
i have brought out the cult personality in my wife and there no turning her back.
GTTM: How old are your kids again?
You should just start celebrating the holidays and birthdays with your children. Your wife's cult demand she be submissive to her husband. According to watchtower doctrine, she is to "win you without a word."
When she puts up a stink, remind her of this.
will any of you post here if you hear anything in this coming thursday (1-14-16) meeting in regards to 2-go-bags being pushed again...
ever noticed how co's and ex-do's never say thank you for the hard earned money they get from the friends?
they truly believe they are entitled to live an easy life at the expense of others.
this makes my blood boil!
Every CO I gave the green handshake to sent me a Thank You card a week or two later.
so i was just reading a thread and came across a completely new jw 'rule', that of not being allowed to go fishing!..
at least it's new to me as i always enjoyed fishing as did others in my old congregation.
anyone else heard of this or had this imposed on them in they're jw lives?.
Can I buy meat at the grocery store? Yes.
Do I hunt for the joy of the hunt? Yes.
Do I eat anything I hunt? Yes.
Is it necessary for me to hunt in order to survive? No.
Why do I hunt? Because I would rather get my meat from a free ranging animal than a factory farmed one any day of the week. I also prefer to get my meat from an animal that is an invasive species in my country. For example, Wild Hog. Wild Hog destroy native habitat in the United States, and are a nuisance. Humans are the only effective predator for the Wild Hog. There aren't enough wolves and mountain lions for hogs to make a dent in their population.
Do I also hunt other native species? Yes, in particular deer. However, as other legitimate hunters, I use restraint and practice selective harvest. If you don't know the conservation reasons behind selective harvest, I suggest you research it.
If you don't agree with hunting because it's "cruel," I suggest you go 100% vegan and never buy anything with leather or wool.
If you are 100% vegan, STFU. You're worse than JW's when it comes to pushing your beliefs on others.
i wanted to relate an experience that happened this morning.
it is regarding the new format for the meeting on thursdays in my area.
its not word for word but im summarizing what i heard, the best i can remember.

I was talked to once about my practice of catch and release.
I pointed out to the brother that it was a conservation effort. That I caught so many fish, it would be reprehensible, and in some cases illegal, if I were to keep everything.
After that, I was never hassled about it again.
I am a fly fisherman as well.

Plausible.

all my family is gushing about the "historic" occasion.

here in the uk new drinking guidelines have been issued which suggest "no more than 14 units a week - equivalent to six pints of beer or seven glasses of wine.".
another piece of the advice which is getting a lot of attention is that "if people drink, it should be moderately over three or more days and that some days should be alcohol-free.".
already people are making cries of "nanny state!

What is your relationship with ALCOHOL?
Praise Dionysus.
after severe pressure from my family, i have decided to attend to the nearest kh.
and a little history regarding my self: i became inactive and lost completely contact of the wt changes and "new light" 17 years ago.. everything seemed so odd and strange during the meeting.
latest technology, animated movies, watchtower web tv, a website that you can download everything, including km and wt study articles.
''Do you believe that this is Jehovah's Organization?'
Just say, "I don't know what to believe..." over and over again.
