Even if the girl did have a previous conversation with that man, it still does not excuse him for not telling the mother who he is, and then later for hitting the mother.

I tried the Vegetarian diet for a couple of years but gave it up. When it comes to meat, my fish is limited, because all the toxins in the water, and I don't eat pork because I have an allergy to it. I do eat red meat from time to time, but not very fond of it, to me, it tastes like eating dirt. I do like some poultry though.

The only reason I pay any attention to it is that I have a few relatives who are stubbornly sticking to it.

Had one for less than a week, only because my husband won it. Couldn't figure out how to operate the stupid thing, and I'm talking about the startup. But after all the weird stuff I hear about it, I'm glad I don't have one.

Then don't date a JW, but until you can be honest with yourself, don't drag anyone else into the problems you are dealing with.

Global Warming is the last thing on my mind. A while back I did take a look into it and discovered why the earth is heating up, and it is not just the earth, but our whole solar system. Global warming/global cooling it's been that way since the beginning of time. Now if one wants to do something about global issues, pollution though is an altogether different subject.

Head Coverings for Women
by Diogenesister inwatchtower's ignorance around the historical background to many biblical directives has had a very negative effect on the lives of witnesses.. for instance paul said women should cover their heads because in corinth prostitutes walked the streets plying for business with their heads uncovered.
hence head coverings were never a symbol of headship but a directive very specific to that period, as was the blood directive!!.
watchtower leaders have been lawyers, businessmen, civil servants and door-to-door book salesmen, never, ever historians or biblical scholars.

I never understood the purpose behind that whole Sister must have their head covered Then when there were no brothers there to lead for field service, I would see people like my mother put a paper towel or napkin on top of her head. Now mind you my mother is a very obese white woman with an afro.

resolute Bandicoot,
I asked him if this ever bothered him, and he told me no. Yet, on the other hand, there were things he told me about that made me wonder if it did play a part. As a teen, he became very sexually active and also developed a drug addiction. Eventually, he did go into rehab when his best friend died from a heroin OD. It was his grandmother who helped him with that, and his parents still don't know about that even to this day. He's been clean for 35 years, although there were a couple of times that he did come close to slipping. It was before we had left the Watchtower, and his JW parents and brother were being total pricks to him.

Money! How much did you "Contribute" To The WTB@TS When You Were A Member
by The Bethelite ini was in full time service for six years including bethel.
once i got out of bethel, i figured i had already given them six of the best years of my life (ages 18-24) working as a slave/drone in their factory, so i rationalized that i had given them enough... so over the next 27 years i would say maybe $200 bucks is it.
i think their whole "voluntary contributions" idea is biting them in the ass, because over all jehovah's witnesses are a cheap group people with a few exceptions.

When the Watchtower change from charging fo the literature to asking for a donation was when I stopped giving any money. What had happened was what I did before was the very first time I picked up anything at the literature department I paid for it out of my own pocket. Then afterward I would take the money I got from the householder from the publications to buy more literature.
But after they changed it from charging a set amount to the donation for the world wide work. There was an elder actually had the nerve to tell me that I need to pay for it out of my own pocket and then also give any money I got from the householder as well. This pissed me off, but I didn't say a word, just ok.
After that, I went in and ordered every single past bound volume and any other publication the Watchtower had at the time. I did not pay for it. I did that because I was giving the Watchtower a What For. Also at that time, I decided to stop asking for any kind of donation, so the Watchtower was actually losing money at my end.
