1. my husband's time is finite, it's wasted on spouses arguing over money, sex or family mattters with stupid home visits.. .
i hate people's constant open hand for money, it's the weak individuals asking others to pull their weight.
my family worked extra hours instead of begging the strong members for district assembly money, cat food for seven cats or tiny little rag-a-muffins weiner dogs.. .
You might feel differently one day. I suspect your mom and dad are at peace. A peace you're not feeling right now.
I'm baffled by the statement that you feel justified in not talking to your parents because, "...t hey brought reproach on Jehovah's Organization by socializing with people your not suppose to!"
- and you expressed this on an ex-jw site. There are so many things I'm not getting about this.
I better stick with traditional Christianity. It makes a lot more sense.
i heard from a fellow jw that there was scandal in the dc area because black jws were voting the 2012 election (or maybe its was the 2008 election).
is this true?.
Satanus,
If you believe that, then encourage the Republican party to push Herman Cain run for President again - see how many African-Americans vote for him.
In the meantime, I would recommend not buying into the rhetoric of the Republicans... they don't know Blacks very well... or Hispanics... or women... or... students....or immigrants... *ahem*

Welcome. Take your shoes off and stay! Maybe you can help others - even if they don't fit your demographic (like me, maybe?)
You're not alone. I think everyone is tired of something.

I don't know but she seems like she's pi$$ed off at everyone....
people in her ...is it called car group?
people who don't buy her coffee or gas,
people who borrow money,
people who are handicapped,
people who own seven cats,
people who own Dachsunds,
people asking her husband for marital advice with respect to money,
her parents,
people who sit in certain seats at events she feels they're unworthy of,
people who need their lawn cut,
people who don't change their car's oil,
people who have plumbing challenges,
and apparently weak and ex-JWs
AuntConnie? It doesn't appear I fall into any of the above categories... Am I in a yet unspecified category of people you hate?
Are there others who are called "elderettes" who feel as you do? If so, please dear God, never put me with an elder. I don't want to have to walk around with this much anger.

I've never been a Jehovah's Witness so I find your contempt fascinating. Is this how some of you feel about others?
If I may ask a personal question (and since you threw it out there), why do you hate your parents?
AuntConnie, you seem pretty angry.

2012 memorial partakers total 12,604.....atlantis
So, I sent a JW a text message letting him know that I'm going to be asking some questions about the new 2012 yearbook numbers. Included in my questions will be the number of partakers rising. The response I got was:
"Eight souls were saved in Noah's time. The increase or decrease of the organization is irrelevant to me. That's up to Jehovah..."
Wth do I do with that?
Does this translate to, "I didn't know that there was a correlation between partakers and Armageddon and I don't remember a meeting that explained the WT's stance."
usually around the end of the year i look back at what i have experienced over the 12 months.
one of the things that i must say 2012 has been a year of change and freedom and learning for me.
i could not have gotten where i am mentally if it was not for you guys here are jwn.. .
Yaaaaaa, Sophie!!!!!! *grin*
Great news! .... right? What has it been in previous years?

8 not ashamed of the good news .
while it is true that jehovahs witnesses are hated and opposed in all the nations of the earth, this is in fulfillment of what was foretold to be an identifying mark of genuine worshipers of the one living and true god.
Absolutely and completely irrelevant. The door knocking campaign is seen as a group of people being really committed to their faith. If it was publicly known that JWs are proselytizing because they're told they have to to gain salvation, I believe the reception wouldn't be as neutral.
We non-jws have no idea what this religion teaches. NONE.
Falling in love with a JW was the only thing that brought me here.
i was commenting in another thread this morning and saw speculation that the conti verdict will hasten the wts' decline, beyond just the money they may have to pay in that case itself.
i have seen this mentioned a number of times and it got me thinking and doing a bit of research.
i think the speculation and hope is that it will give rise to similar lawsuits which will meet with similar success.
Sent the October 12 BOE letter to a R&F person.
Are they allowed to read them?
