“the jehovah’s witness religion i grew up in made me feel immense pressure to maintain my virginity.
i dreaded the prospect of being trapped by a lifelong commitment to a husband in a community that would dictate what we did in the bedroom and i started to realise that i did not belong because i didn’t want to be married or have children in that stifling community.” – ella, victoria, australia.
I remember girls in the hall in my later teenage years that their mothers would not allow tampons. It was pass only because it would break the cherry. They had to save it for their husbands.
I shit you not!
The reason it came up was because of swimming.
thanks for reading (i'm sorry this is a little bit of a sensitive topic, though i'll try to be gentle.).
a little back story.
i have been working so hard to build my faith this year, and i am finally at the point where i am beginning to trust god and i want to build an unbreakable relationship with him.
The past is in the past jax. I married a woman with a kid and raised her as my daughter. A person's past decisions dont taint a person they make them who they are. Unless they are a former criminal or cult leader!
If you cant embrace it and be able to joke about mistakes that we all make you probly don't deserve her. My 2 cents!
Or maybe you are insecure? I dont know because I dont know you!
i just overheard an anointed acquaintance on the phone with a friend of hers who has just had surgery for cervical cancer.
among the snippets of dialogue i heard on my end of the line, these ones stood out:.
"you lost a lot of blood?
And how is it that unbaptised children are forced to abstain because of parental choice?
hello everyone!

That just seems utterly ridiculous! I mean you already work for nothing. Then you're sent a bill every month for calling family or a/c . It seems more like sea org all the time.
this is what happened.
i had a sore tendon in my wrist.
i could work with it, but nevertheless the pain was there.
You opened the door to Satan and he healed you. Now you will die at armageddon which is bound to happen any second now.

Morpheus what do you mean adding it to you're monthly bill? What did you get billed for at Bethel? Were there other charges?
ok so just thinking it over here.
in the recent montana lawsuit wt had to show their net worth.

I'm just curious how they are not worth way more. The profits from Bethel sales were about 1.3 or 1.4 billion . I realise that they spent money in the building of the new Warwick facility but total costs for everything couldn't have been more than 100 million .
So how bad off are they? How much did they really need to sell Bethel? They've also sold a crap ton of the 3000 properties. And really only have the money from the sell off of Bethel.
It seems to me they are in the red and have no idea how to get back in the black.
Any thoughts?
do you think the watchtower will sell off any more kingdom hall after the 3,000 have been sold of and why do you think that.
Yes I think 3000 is only the beginning. The flock is getting older and losing support from new members.Millenials aren't helping them . I think it's a slow death but only time will tell.
