To JamieBowers and all the other victoms of domestic abuse (((((hugs)))) For those who can't wait for this to be discussed at the WT study: unfortunatly this hideous experience was not in the study article. Many Jw's might not even read it unless it is pointed out to them. That might be our job :)

449"Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12
by yourmomma inhave anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?
its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .
if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

Nothing on apostates but don't miss the secondary article that discussed a bible student whos husband beat her the the night before her study. Her teacher counciled HER to improve and not "feel sorry for herself"!!!!!! There is another thread about it. The attrocious remarks are causing a big stink as you could imagine!

To Insearchoftruth, I'm sorry to say it's you. You should have heard Judge Rutherfords "Women are just a hank of hair and a bag of bones".

Unfortunately, the WT$ has ALWAYS had this cavilier attitude about domestic violence. Years ago when I was desperately looking through the WT$ indexes to find info to help me decide whether or not to divorce my ex- husband,. I found the same council and "encouragement". One sister was held up as a great example because she endured REPETED BEATINGS and being LOCKED OUT of HER HOUSE in HER UNDERWEAR ALL NIGHT for YEARS!!!!!!! What "good" JW wife doesn't want to make God happy by her "endurance and long suffering". So I too,went along with the cult mindset. Bastard$

Quarterback: "I and they don't care about that crazy WT article" Really? My nearly 60 years as a true believer has taught me that the WT is taken as seriously by "true Christians" as the Bible. Even when shown a particular WT statement made conflicts with scripture, most witnesses (myself included when I believed) will side with the WT. I'm assuming you are still in. Understandably then, the subject of JW's spying or leaking confidential info would make you nervous. Of course not all witnesses break the trust they are given. But it is shortsighted to think 7mil dedicated believers don't care or obey what the WT says.

MsJ, Sorry your Mom/family gives you so much stress. Girl, I know the feeling. I thought this thread was about JW's whos families get together for a big meal (often turkey) on Thanksgiving and refuse to call it what it actually is. My ex's(once an elder) parents would host a big shebang every year on Thanksgiving even tho Dad was the PO. We attended the years we weren't at MY huge JW familys' equally hypocratical Turkey day.

What is the stupidest comment you ever heard at a meeting?
by 3rdgen ina very reliable friend told me this: the bro was commenting on what was "unacceptable" conduct in the bedroom between married persons.
needless to say, he had everyone's attention.
he went on to say "we must avoid perversions such as oral and annual sex.

Thanks everyone for sharing the stupidity! Got another one to add: The married middle aged PO in the hall we used to attend decided phone calls between members of the opposite sex were considered "dating". He gave several talks where he called it "That Devilish phone dating" Turns out within months he was disfellowshipped for porking a young married elderette w/ kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!She and her family were in the SAME CONGO. The affair had been been going on at the same time as those uber-lame comments!!! They were "caught in the act" by his wife.Takes hypocracy to a new level doesn't it?

Do you have to dress in "meeting clothes" to play? Do the guys loose points if his suit isn't ill-fitting polyester? Do the gals loose points if she wears denim and (God forbid) bare legs?
