  2. friends

  so, as some of you will know myself and my husband are in the process of fading.

  haven't been to a meeting since beginning of 2017. .

  we weren't planning on going to the memorial, but last week my mother broke down and said that we have to go to the memorial even if it's the only meeting i go to this year.

  Why are there more sisters than brothers at the Kingdom Hauls?

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have always wondered why there are more females than males in all of the congregations that i have visited?

  some of these females are in their 70's so maybe their husbands have died and women just live longer.

  or could the reason be that years ago men were the breadwinners and women stayed home to raise the children thus they were home during the week when the jdubs came a knocking?

  Helpless and Very Sad Grandmother

  by Brenda Cook in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am the grandmother of the runaway 18year old girl who is now living with her 22 year old idiot.

  this person has totally brainwashed my granddaughter and is continuing to separate her from our family.

  i feel so helpless that there is nothing we can do to make her see this - no money, no identity, and a servant to him and his family.

  Masters of the art of Reverse Snobbery

  by stillin in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  they create their own measure of what "success" is.

  the reward for their endeavor is, at best, a sense of accomplishment at the end of an otherwise worthless life.

  but in real-world terms, the things that pass for actual success are looked down upon as stupid, like shoveling coal to keep a sinking ship's engine running.

  Boyfriend force me to study the bible or no marriage

  by MuslimWoman in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  my boyfriend, who is a disfellowshipped jehova's witness, asks me to study the bible for 3 months or he won't marry me (i'm a muslim woman).

  he loves me and really wants to marry me but he is doing a passive blackmailing: if i don't study for 3 months, 1 time per week, in my home country, and without him, there will be no marriage... as a muslim, i believe the bible is god's word so i look at the bible from time to time and would be happy to study with him.

  but the fact that he is kind of saying "study the bible or bye bye no marriage" is really hurtful.
