  i have seen many witnesses with 4,5,6,7 kids.

  no problem with that.

  they are mostly loving families but today i experianced the birth of my son.. the emotions of my wife... the pain... the fear... the hope combined with the joy of the birth and seeing my wife reaction when she held the baby was well balanced.. .

  Julia I also just read your writing. So many memories are forming. 1947 grandfather died i d2d work. Baptised in 1933. 1964 Grandmother died faithful. 2006 Mother died faithful. Now 2014 a sibling is mid 70s. These 4 plus many other family members died while expecting to live forever. And yes your are right JWs taught Millions now Livong will never die. Family pictures show my aunts standing in front of those signs. Now only one aunt is still alive waiting to survive Armegeddon. Her children are 67 & 66. It has been a long wait for my family.

  women should go back to the kitchen

  by never a jw in

  i found on another thread a quote from awake 1967 aug 22,page 27-28. it's from an article where the wt proves that women should acquiesce to their husbands.

  within the article i found something that suggests more intellectual dishonesty from the wt writers.. that it is in the best interests of both.

  sexes for man to take the lead is also supported.

  the gb can kiss my ass.. i'm writing "0" on the little slip of paper they pass out.. hey here's a thought:.

  you know that "widow's might" stuff they're always talking about?

  well i'm pretty dang sure that the lady was giving from the heart not because she filled out some dumba$$ piece of paper pledging two small coins several months previous!.

  A family member who is a full time pioneer has already decided how much to donate monthly. The amount on his family slip will be 0. This is what he said to me.

  i was 13yo and largely clueless to what was going on.

  i think i remember hearing something about an apostate being weeded out of bethel but really couldn't have cared less.

  i didn't start getting zealous until a couple of years later.. .

  I was 32 at the time. It wasn't discussed much in conversation but I do remember my sister whispering it to me during the Watchower study. I don't remember anyone else mentioning it.

  Almost invitied but not quite. Two girls about 12 or 13 came to the door asked if I spoke Spanish, I answered no and was told all their literature was in Spanish.
