Ah ha ! secret sins or more like give us a list of to-do things to rev-up our secret lives, at the same time enjoy some sheeple squirm.Time to use that whip again which makes them feel important ! Go get our brooms !

it seemed as if every year a talk would be given in the congregation or at a convention about “secret sins”.
very predictably, witnesses would have pangs of conscience and confess their secret sin.. back in the 70s, one sister with an unbelieving mate went to the elders to confess about husband and her engaging in oral sex.
she was privately reproved for her “sin” and every so often would approach the elders to say she slipped up again.. i know i’d never tell anybody about my sex life just because of misguided guilt.

@Jwgonebad...
Sorry to hear that elders are after you ! Hope you can get out smoothly. The elders think they own each of the sheep. They dont listen to reason ! Hell they dont even give people a free will to choose, change their mind after dedication, as if we owe them anything. To god we made the dedication not to them dingbats!
Hang on in there buddy and I hope you come out of it victorious!

@ Jwgonebad..
I was not actually comparing her(skilled gal) with me but the elders (scurrying away saying people are waiting for us) , with me. I used to say the same and clear off. therefore the "sadly" in my comment to JP. You misunderstood. I started off this post saying "The wife has balls of steel".

i have been dealing with serious health issues that made it necessary for me to go on permanent disability since 2015. since then my health has gotten worse making it nearly impossible to attend meetings.
in this period i have received no spiritual or other help of any kind.

@ Tameria...Not once did anyone call or stop by to see how we were doing, not even to bring us spiritual food. The only thing they said to me was that I had better make it to the upcoming district convention.
My experience exactly, except more was added by an elder saying get your act together and get to the meetings regularly (although had been regular for years but coz of sickness and deaths in the family, and accidents was irregular). Boy could I have exploded, my blood boiled and this made me more draw away from people who say they love me and did not care to help me , support me, comfort me when I was so in need !
So much for saying we are all one body, spiritual family, international brotherhood blah...blah..blah...I have seen it all and am disgusted with it all.

@John P..
Sadly I used to use the same excuse when I was PIMI. If someone was keeping me at the door just arguing for the hell of it, no interest but to waste my time, then this is exactly what I did do.

well friends how about another update straight from the mole in the treasurers office?
fact: tens of thousands of bethelites have taken a vow of poverty and live/work in branches all over the world.
fact: they all get a stipend based on local need, "cost of living", tenure, ect.
I have in so many visits to diferent bethels, (having friends as bethelites), have always given money to the friends as gifts, no one mentioned anything about not giving. At times when the particular bethelite has not been at his desk or otherwise indisposed, I have left money in an envelope to be passed on to the friend. No one ever mentioned not to do this.

@ Scenic Viewer " I liked the point about how Jehovah could easily have foreseen Satan's rebellion and just eliminated him to spare billions from suffering later."
At that time God's all Knowing Third Eye was shut so he could not foresee Satan's rebellion.
