If that is true it emphasisizes the cultural differcences between the english speaking and the Spanish JWs. When I was JW kid I was lucky to get food and water-and NEVER during the sessions.

I think it is possible to apologise to her without saying you are wrong. Balamsass and I do it all the time. One or the other of us says, "I'm sorry we had words" or "I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings" or "I should have been more tactful in the way I expressed myself" or "Can we agree to disagree?"
These kinds of statements convey you are trying to make peace. If the other person is loving, he/she will accept the gesture and move on.

Your very own Philly Kingdom Hall for only 500K !
by Balaamsass inneighborhood.
wedaug 82012home of jehovahs witness congregation could be your new homepost on end post on .entry-meta lew lew change here end lew change here last week, a reader tipped us off that this kingdom hall of jehovahs witnesses at 1235-37 federal st. was available for sale.. the building.
as opposed to numerous other religious buildings that have gone on the market recently, this building doesnt have any particularly compelling architectural or historical features that make it crucial that its appearance is maintained.

Chances are that Plilly cong bought that building many years/decades ago for peanuts. At a cool half million that gives the WTBT$ a fab chunk of tax-free dollar$$$

If indeed the man was the moving party (Plaintiff) in the divorce she is probably free to remarry in WT land. However, If SHE filed first she is screwed.
The WT$ made this rule so that people who wanted a divorce for reasons other than adultry could not commit fornication or adultry(before or after the divorce) to FREE THEMSELVES to remarry. There was a WT article about this that called this plan to get out of marriage as "Dealing Treacherously with your mate."
I'm sorry I don't have a link for you.

Has anyone heard of "Secret Disfellowshipping" by Jehovah's Witnesses? Menlo Park Ca. Congregation. Update.
by Balaamsass inno doubt everyone has been following the juan viejo postings regarding the watchtower kingdom hall "grab" on jwn for the last couple of years.
called the mrs and me to say "wow- you have to google this" we did...came here to jwn ...became members..and the rest is history.. in the last nine months i have been calling and emailing contacts in the silicon valley for verification on the societies theft and forced sale of the menlo park kingdom hall (near the new facebook heaquarters) because the story seemed...a little far fetched.
every reliable contact i made has confirmed what juan reported.

I'm back! Did you miss me? - YOSEMITE REVIEW
by 00DAD inmy wife, the hungarian goddess, and i just returned from a wonderful one week vacation in yosemite!

Hi 00Dad, Hint for the future: If you're going to leave us for a week the least you could do is say you were sick or something. A swell vacay like yours just makes petty folks like me jelous!
I thought back to the last time I was at Yosemite. It was 30 years ago and I was 7mos pregnant. About 60 JW's took 3 adjoining campsites. All happened to be very cool peeps and it turned out to be a blast. EXCEPT the potty situation was a bummer-especially in the middle of the night. I had to literally step over/on dozens of sleeping bodies to get to the restroom.LOL
Looking forward to those pics!

Hi Joyfulfader, Welcome! You are right. You have already lived a TV mini-series. I'm so sorry for all your pain and loss. The way you were treated by the so-called brothers is inexcusable! It's obvious you have much more to say and I'm anxious to hear it all. I hope you find healing, peace, and love in your new life out of the WT$.
BTW, remember, 40 is the new 30.
