  i have made a couple of remarks regarding family dynamics on other threads, but i thought it's be nice to start a new thread.... i'm no psychologist, but suffice it to say i see some similarities here.

  (please add to/comment on these thoughts).

  the organization wishes to be seen as our mother.

  hi folks.

  what do you like about kingdom halls?.

  i am not talking about the software i.e., the people, the pure language, the music, the smell of lavender as the toilet door swings to, or the obedient rustle of bible pages.

  just my humble opinion, Her remarks are Politically Correct!!!!The mags always show families dressed up going bowling and picnics(never shorts lol)and things like that.That is how the org wants families to do things together.Thats the acceptable form of recreation.They never show the whole family huddled around the TV in all sorts of dress watching TV. So they stress Family Rec(its important don't get me wrong)and importance of being together!!No probs with that!But the ones that Gripe me are the SERVANTS families being 2 faced about it!! Ya know!!Kids are Kids!!They don't like to the activities as the mags protray them(Boys in Dockers and Girls in Dresses)!!!
  Sorry to ramble but thats MHO!!!

  thanks for the reply to my post. I believe I am at the crossroads in my life....figuring everything out ya know!!!Kind of difficult to do with the pressure to remain a JW!!That whole College softening stance they took, REALLY hammered me!Boy talk about being ANGRY, I don't know if any remembers the Watchtower Study, but it killed me!!Here I was posterboy for not going to College but to Pioneer in all those Dramas, because Society at that time said it was wrong!!Struggling to find decent employment that paid well. Then lo and behold that Watchtower article!!!And to top it off, here recently at our SpecialAssy Day, they had a sister on Stage telling how she went to College(2 year prog)and how she balanced everything!!!!!!!!!The Society endorsing College from the Stage!!!!!!!!I could not believe it!!!
  Oh well thats just one of the many things that has cause some anxiety!!

  well this is my 2nd post on this board, my first is down on the Sex Forum!!I tried to give a little background on myself, sorry its a bit sporadic. It is kind of tough to get your thoughts together. But hope to post more well thought out and interesting posts in the future.I regularly visited old H20, and lurked. I only posted a few times until my wife found out!!!!!! Whew!!!! was she shook up about that!!!! Just curious....Is this site better than Coolboard??? It seems to be abit difficult to navigate around the boards. I think that the people from "Old H20" are split between these 2 boards. I really enjoy some of the posters over here, Mommy, Drivelikejehu, etc.
  Looking forward to many interesting conversations with all of you guys!!!!!!!!!

  well where do I begin......raised in the "Truth" basically, was the "Model JW".I was used in all sorts of Circuit and District parts, mainly about Pioneering and NOT GOING TO COLLEGE!!!!!!!!!!!The timeperiod was the mid 80s.At that time (listen up Drivelikejehu)COLLEGE was WRONG!!!!I had the wonderful privelege of being in all those DRAMAs about how bad COLLEGE was(if you remember those dramas I played Ted).Those DRAMAs came at a time when I was graduating HS.So I did what I thought to be right and Pio for 2 years!!!I actually enjoyedthis full time service!!!Know I am at the crossroads in my life....I married young(19)and subsequently divorced 10yrs later.My wife at the time got DFd, and I remarried shortly thereafter.During my first marriage I was a MS and thought life was good!!!!!!I felt pressured into "reachin out" and so thought that being a MS was the right thing.I never like the scrutiny that everybody imposed on me.That is kind of hard to explain unless you have been in that situation. After my first wife was DFd, I asked to step down.They would not let me step down for months(never understood that???).So here I am know, have a lovely wife in the Truth.I myselfstill go very regularly to meetings, service,.etc.I find to many discrepencies in the organization!!The only reason I go to meetings is all the friends I have in the organization and to keep peace with my wife.My mother and stepfather are the only family that I have in the truth.If I was to leave, it would totally crush my mother.My sister stop going to meetings years ago and that hurt my mother so much, would not want to put her through that.I lurked on H20 for about a year and posted couple of times over there.Just curious is this Foroum better than Coolboard???I lurk but don't currentlypost over there.I do enjoy Mommy and her interesting perspective on things over here.I also like DrivelikeJehu posts!!!!Drive congrats on going to College!!!!You are growing up at the right time in the Org do that!!!Drive, just curious what part of the US do you live???You don't have to specific, just area!!!Well I apologize for rambling but thats my first of I hope many posts in the future!!!
