Untrustworthy people can't/don't trust. Trustworthy people trust-sometimes when they shouldn't. We tend to think others think and behave like we do. BIG MISTAKE. There is no balance of power in your marriage. You have given all of yours to him. The question is why have you done this? Is your self esteem so low you think you don't deserve better? Are you afraid he will leave you if you require an equal partenership? If the answer is yes, please seek out a therapist and/or marriage counselor. This relationship is unhealthy.

Head coverings yet again in the latest KM
by life is to short inmy husband just gave me the latest km the novermber 2013 and it yet again has a question box on head coverings.. question box "should a female publisher wear a head covering if she is accompanied by a male pubisher at a doorstep bible study?".
it says "when a female publisher conducts a reagular, scheduled bible study and a male kingdom publisher is present, she should wear a head covering.
(1 cor 11: 3-10) the july 15 2002, issue of the watchtower page 27, explains: "this is a prearranged session of teaching where the one conducting the the study actually presides.

Last January I happened to read the Costco newsletter. It had a chart of about 7 commonly used medications and various prices charged by Costco and about 10 competitors. My jaw dropped when I saw the price for Lexapro. (antidepressant) The price I was paying at Wallmart was $107. for 30 pills 10 mg. The price at Costco was $11. for 90 pills 20mg. This translates to a 6 mo supply (by breaking in half) of less than $2 a month for a monthly savings of $100. !!! OTOH, Wallmart was only $4 a month for another med. It PAYS to shop RXs!!! Best of luck BTW, these were both generic prices.

Fulltimestudent, Your story absolutely takes the cake. I almost did a spit take with my coffee picturing that burly school overseer in drag with bad make-up and wig with his wife giviving a talk acting like nothing is weird!!! Hahahahahah He even stuffed his dress to look like boobs. I wish I could have seen it! I also wish I could have been there for the reeming he got from the Cong. Servant!

Missionaries to vacate all missionary homes
by seenitall inlatest news from a source (missionary in foreign land):.
no more missionary homes anywhere in the world.. all missionaries presently in missionary homes must vacate.
must get housing on your own / from the locals.. circuit and district overseers have moved into many of these former missionary homes.. reasons: liability, cost savings, real estate to be sold or used for other purposes.. needless to say, many of these longtime servants are very unsettled.

JW Wife complications
by manda63 inhi, my wife became a jw about 25 years ago and at the time while it all sounded crazy to me but i could see not wrong and have no problem with people having a religion , it started to become apparent that her choice of religion was almost cult like with all the controls in place.
we no longer have a social life together as she will only be with clan members not wordly people and i have stopped going round to her friends houses for get togethers becouse i am sick to death of being questioned and mocked about my beliefs,hearing other religion being called so harsh,wordly people being talked about as if scum and all the other haughty talk.
i am not allowed any material in the house that might be apostate,satanic?

ADCMS, thank you for posting those articles. I vividly remember the time when the WTBT$ highly discouraged credit card debt and lambasted the Catholic church for installing credit card machines. The view was that this was proof that the Catholic Church is greedy -interested in donations more than anything else. JWS are becoming more and more Catholic.
