You might want to rethink things if you are following the WTBT$ rule of "necessary family business" to appear to be a follower to your wife. What about visits with your daughter alone? Surely there can be a satisfactory "work around"?

Hey Nate,
True story I answered a private ad for a 10 yo low mileage sports car. When I saw and drove the car I was in love. Turns out the the owner was a USED car salesman named....(wait for it) VINNEY. Being an active JW at the time I not only bought it but paid him cash. LOL!

Relax, Paulmolark
If the person reading or replying to your thread doesn't see that it is obviously a typo do you really care what his/her opinion is ? Besides, from time to time we all need a laugh. :)

@Simonsays, Am I to assume that you were one of the ones who didn't follow the council to live with the end in view? Did you ignore the admonition not to attend college? Did you ignore the WT articles encouraging singleness and postponing having children until after Armageddon? Did your elderly parents donate your inheritance to the WTBT$?
If you didn't buy into the end coming soon, no matter what decade you pick, you are likely much better off than those who have "listened and obeyed".

@Truthseeker100, Actually I attended in Cali, USA. Oakland Colosseum or Candlestick Park in 1968 and 1969 went to Pasadena California for the international convention. But our joint recollections confirm the united message that came DIRECTLY from HQ. -

@SimonSays, How old are you? If you are less than 60 you are not old enough to have experienced the climate of the time between 1968 and 1975.
I AM old enough to remember vividly. If what you say is true, that it was overzealous individuals reading between the lines, who wrote the lines? Who fostered the attitude? Who appointed the elders, COs, DOs who whipped up the frenzy? Who commended (in writing) those who sold all their possessions to pioneer for the "remaining months"? Who selected the speakers and wrote the outlines and manuscripts for the assemblies and conventions where it was repeatedly stated that the millennium reign of Christ HAD to be included in the 7th day of Jah's rest "day" that they stated as fact is 7,000 years long?
They stated as fact that 6,000 years of mankind's existence ended in 1975, therefore the "Great Tribulation" would occur on or BEFORE 1975 to make the entire time period EXACTLY 7,000 years long.
Late in 1973 my contractor husband built a modest 2 bedroom house for us. The elders took him in the back room and disqualified him from being a MS solely on that basis. Although it took only 4 months to build "he was not living with a view to the END".

Setback
by EdenOne ini saw this coming since my mother-in-law's funeral .... the congregation's "love-bombing" over my wife had its impact.
i watched her drawing closer and closer to her friends in the congregation.
then she decided she would attend the memorial.

Eden, I am so sorry for the anguish you are experiencing. To have your wife out with you only to watch her fall prey to the cult mentality again is heartbreaking.
You have shown yourself to be a loving supportive husband through your wife's physical and mental illness. She needs to remember that time when she is giving you looks of disgust. Who else would have been there for her like you were?
I wish I had the answer for you. All I know is that everyone deserves to receive the love they give. Hugs

As I recall they celebrated Birthdays up until the early 1950's.
