in my old congregation, everyone seems clean.
mostly chaste courtship, kingdom hall wedding, blah blah.. well there are lots of cases of fondling but they were soon forgotton.
when my husband and i confessed to sex before marriage, the elders were disgusted.
Yep, prevalent. I lied to the elder that asked me. None of their business.
The worst thing abbout it was the festering guilt.
yeah, but the guilt faded a few years later. Almost turned myself in once a year later. Wife and I agreed it was no one's business.
faders need a secret sign to use at the khall.
the thought came to me after reading replies to datadogs post on stopping singing at the meetings.. i can suggest a few secret signs for faders to use and to look for at the khall, but it would be better that current meeting attenders make suggestions here.
if readers on this site can agree to a secret sign to use at the meetings, just imagine the power that would have at your kingdom hall.
Perfect:
OR...
to hawaii!!
what were you thinking?.
ive been to the big island twice when i was a 11 and 13. my sister lived there and flew me out.
5 weeks and counting. I can already feel the sand in my g-string.

Four hours ago you started this thread. Your SAD is tomorrow and this week your midweek meeting is canceled. But I thought you said you had a talk for this weeks meeting and that thread is 12 hrs old?
OMG I am so distressed. I have a talk coming up on Tuesday > http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/277530/1/I-need-help-Talk-coming-up-and-I-need-ideas-fast#.UzePRFfDW7g
What am I missing?
edit to add: unless you mean next tuesday. Im sick so maybe im not thinking clearly.
last night, me and my wife were watching some the simpsons episodes.
we both laugh and enjoy that serie.
but just in this one, my wife face was serious and even uncomfortable.
Here's the full episode. You dont have to download it.
omg i am so distressed.
i have a talk coming up on tuesday, it is the number 3 "abiram.
why opposing god appointed authority is tantamount to opposing god himself"!.
fake sick and let someone else stress over it.
i started doing this toward the end.
for those of you who are shunned, it is in disguise a blessing.
becuase when you are not shunned, jws come to visit.
it is the most tiresome hosting you will ever endure.. for the first 2 1/2 days, it was straight talk about "jehovah", the "organization", the "bible", then, "how bad these times are", "can't wait to see someone dead in the new world" .
Here....
....you need em.
are elders required to report domestic violence to law enforcement?
what if children are involved?
i am wondering if the elders will report a situation to police or dcfs here in california.
Don't hold your breath. Not likely. Wouldn't want to bring reproach on precious Jehovah.
i just watched the movir divergent and all i could think about was how similat it was to describing cults.
instead of being a black and white "us vs them" it's more of a multicolored cult vs cult vs a "overlord cult"... phrases such as "faction over family" and "we can't run the risk of everyone thinking on their own" (that one was paraphrased) brought chills to my spine.... it's such a good movie!!
i really recommend it!.
I havent seen it yet, but Mrs Dazed read through all the books in 3 weeks. I am more than 2/3s through the first book. I can't wait to see it. I will see it before I finish the book.... oh well.
I'm not a big fan of reading.... maybe thats why I really left the troof...
