Anyone know where that is? Anyone close to there? I will be there from July 22nd til the 28th. My hubby will be in meetings all day so I will need to keep myself entertained. I guess it's about 30 miles from Newark. If anyone one lives near there, pm me, I would love to meet up and have lunch or something.

HOSPICE IS FANTASTIC! Had to shout it out. They really helped our family when my mom passed away. So sorry that you have to go through this. My mom suffered the same disease so I feel for you.

Elder's WIFE in college!
by hardhearted ini bet this is different than a minor child in college... i can only hope that the new information from the co will cause a lot of jw's and elders to scratch their heads and consider what exactly is going on here.
if this information causes an exodus of elders... that is very good.
imagine, an elder being removed because his wife is in college.

How dare her! If she's got that kind of time and money, she should be pioneering.

The End of Circuit Overseers
by scotsman inis indeed apparently nigh as another poster predicted along with the end of the weekly bs.
not sure when this should take place but i'm reliably informed by a family member that one of the uk's overseers was talking about it fairly recently.
reduced to weekend visits by an outside but local elder instead.. i have no further info..

Good question, Eyes Open! I was wondering myself.
Of course this announcement, if true, will be spun like the end of the BS, rising cost of fuel, bad economy, loving provision for the R&F since they pay the expenses of the CO during his visit, etc.
I don't think getting rid of them is as much financial as they are having too hard of a time finding qualified brothers that want to go into the circuit work. The congregations foot the bill for everything related to the CO's.

This doesn't surprise me if really true. Most congregations that I attended, the BOE put on a show when the CO came around and after he left it went back to business as usual. I never really felt he had much of an impact on the elders, but most JW's enjoyed the change in the monotonous routine.

JW wife says she loves me more often NOW???? Should I test that?
by oompa ini was pm with a@g and have with others here in the one-in-one-out marriage situation, and have a question.
time flies.....i have been considered apostate for at least two years now, and it seems my wife says she loves me all the time....almost makes me uncomfortable.
i have changed, not her, and i realize that.

My dad da'd himself about 10 years before he died. He tried to convince my mom that it was all lies and deceit but it just made her a stronger witness. She died a faithful witness.

Blondie - I am amazed that you put so much time and effort into this. I can't even stand the thought of reading one paragraph, let alone a whole article.

I'm new too!
by Annointeds Daughter ini'm new to the forum.
i've been lurking for some time, since i was "disconnected" by my husband, "tooktheredpill".
i'm a 3rd generation witness, and still inside of the borg, because all my family is inside.

Hi and Welcome,
I was where you are a few years ago. I still have lots of family in and have to pretend that everything is wonderful in WT land, so I feel your pain. It does get easier.
I find it much easier to sit through a meeting now that I no longer have guilt. That was probably the worst thing for me, the guilt. Guilt that you are not doing enough, not a good parent, spiritual head, not enough time in field service, etc.
Now I live my life the way I want to and when I am forced to go to meetings, I sit there and smile because what they say from the platform does not influence my life anymore. If we would not be shunned by our family, we would never step foot back into a KH, but unfortunately that is not the case right now.

My Wife Is Getting A Sheparding Call
by sacolton ini've disassociated myself since february.
i made no secret of my disapproval of the wtbts and was very vocal to my doubts of it being god's true organization on earth to the po.
now, the po and another elder has scheduled to talk with my wife tonight for a sheparding call at the home of the book study.

Give her time. If you can drop little tidbits to her now and then, maybe someday it will click. That's what happened to me. My dad disassociated himself and things that he said to my DH and I clicked in years later, first to my DH and then to me.
She may never leave the witnesses completely if she has family in, but she may get to a point where she sees the light and you can live normal lives.
