Mindnumbed, hit the nail squarely on the head by stating the reasons WHY no apology will ever be issued for anything of any substance.

28Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word For The WTBTS To Say!
by JW GoneBad insorry to raymond and cynthia franz for expelling them on trumped-up charges and forcing them from there bethel home.. sorry for demonizing many of raymond's accomplishmets, such as 'the aid to bible understanding' (the blue book) that he had a hand in putting together and that too many old timers remember who grew fond of reading to expand their bible knowledge.. sorry to oompa for disfellowshipping him and causing him to be shunned to the point where he couldn't take it any longer and wound up taking his own life.
.
sorry seems to be the hardest word for the wtbts to say!.

I lived in near Sacramento then the East bay area during the late 60's Those were the best years of my life. There was a party after EVERY CA and DA as well as graduation partys, weddings, and partys for no reason. ALL featured great music and dancing. I looove to dance so the food and booze didn't matter much to me. (but it sure does now LOL) My boyfriend (who I married) and I went to at least one great party a month. I loved the interacial aspect of these events bc I loved "soul music" and dances. The black bros were so cool and loved to teach us the "skate" the "bounce" etc. Good times before the society became Natzis and squelched all the fun out of life!

Becoming "unevenly yoked" ?
by Blttex ini haven't been to a meeting in about a year, made up my mind about six months ago that jw's are just another religion and that its not for me.
started dating a "worldly" girl 10 months ago and got engaged this past weekend.
i'm having a hard time deciding who to invite to the wedding.

Some have decided to elope then have a party/reception later in a few days or weeks. Others decide to have the wedding at the reception venue. This eliminates the KH issues and is more convient for the guests. Only invite those who you REALLY want to be there. If some object, they aren't your real friends or family.

The happiest people on earth... Yeah right
by Bells ini am looking for some advice - or maybe just some moral support.. i can't find the link to my previous thread... but in a nutshell... husband and i got married a couple months ago after 10 or so years together.
he was never baptised, but grew up 'in'.
i never had any exposure to the craziness til i met him and his family.

Hello Bells, My observation is that yes, JW's are gleeful when catastrophic events happen to "worldly" folks. The larger the better. These things make them feel like the big A is sooooooooo close. I'm sorry you are dealing with this disfunctional family. Your husband's first loyalty needs to be to YOU. Otherwise your marriage won't really work. Even the Bible backs this up. "This is why a man will LEAVE his father and his mother and the two of you will become one flesh"

classification of Jehovahs Witness members by when they joined up
by besty injust got to thinking how long can the watchtower peddle the 'soon' story with any credibility?.
i would say there are the oldtimer or born ins in the 70+ age group - they possibly remember the 2nd world war, and maybe joined for 1975 or made life affecting decisions meaning they are so commited with 'nowhere else to go' that they have surrendered to the resurrection hope.. then you have the '1986 international year of peace, the 1914+70 year' generation crowd.
people in their 40s and 50s now.

LostGeneration, I think we are on the same wavelength. IMHO it doesn't matter whether "sooooon" works for ALL. There are enough breeders in the borg to keep this cult going because it is a matter of numbers now. Even if 2/3 leave, 1/3 will keep procreating (sp?) (having babies) who they teach to be JWS. The "base" is already in place.

How long "soon" will work for young people is anyones guess. What saddens me is that most of the 25-35 year old former friends of my kids are still active and married to JWs. Many have babies and small children who they are raising to become still another generation of little robots. One couple joined the ASL cong. The young mother proudly showed off her baby signing Jehovah etc. Several other couples have joined forign language congs. At least 6 that I know of actually moved abroad to go where the "need is great".

Whenever I pose questions like this to my Dubbie MIL her answer is ALWAYS: Jehovah has ALLOWed (fill in the injustice) and it serves as a test for us. I always say If Jehovah can read hearts why the test? She then, becomes upset and says don't say ANY MORE!!!
