Blondie that reminds me of a couple at my hall who wanted a private wedding, but was told the KH was a public place, and they couldn't do that. Hardly anyone attended cause no one felt wanted and then the couple got mad. LOL

hi, i read a lot on here, and i am still active, i get about 3 hrs a month in service so not really that active.

i know there are ones on here shaking their heads at me, i do believe the basic teachings, what brought me to post a thread was a thread that hit home, the topic of dating in the oganization, it brought up a lot of hurt feelings for me.

see, i used to pioneer and i basically burned out, i was working mon wed friday sat and sun 2nd shift so i could go to the meetings on tue and thurs.

This sounds funny to say but I think me and my dh work because he had a wordly father, and I think it kept him from acting like my over the top, I'm your conscience and mine mother in law. And my parents weren't witnesses for most of my life, as a matter of fact my mom was df'd and is now re-activated but remains inactive, my dad is also inactive they are divorced now.

Good Reasons To Hate Every Weak And Ex-Jehovah Witness.

by AuntConnie in

1. my husband's time is finite, it's wasted on spouses arguing over money, sex or family mattters with stupid home visits.. .

i hate people's constant open hand for money, it's the weak individuals asking others to pull their weight.

my family worked extra hours instead of begging the strong members for district assembly money, cat food for seven cats or tiny little rag-a-muffins weiner dogs.. .

I am the wife of a ministerial servant, and I do sort of get your rant, although I hope I never meet you, I am on antidepressants and they work wonders for me, my mind is like a TV and won't turn off at night and so I take one before bedtime. My dh is always being asked to fix stuff also and one of the few bros who aren't self employed and one week he worked 80 hrs due to being on call and still had to work Mon-Wed before getting off for a holiday and sure enough someone called cause their AC was broken, had it not been the 96 year old women I would of had more to say about it, cause my husband was sooooooo tired and all he wanted to do was lay down. Any time there is a get together my dh seems to have to mow the KH lawn and isn't there to help with our kids etc. I only feel resentful though towards those that really seem to take advantage and it isn't the poor ones its the wealthier ones who ask for his service and don't want to pay. There was one lady though that went so far as to remind him he was her brother and he was obligated to help, I didn't care for that.

Ron I actually agree with that, my Mil told my dh only engaged couples should date. Somehow I'm glad that I was ignorant of some things, My parents came in when I was a teen so I didn't know you weren't supposed to date as a teenager, and I did. I love my husband I really do but I know so many people who are in very unhappy marriages cause they are afraid of being left in the lurch. I so agree with the statement better to never have a relationship than be in a bad one.

Sorry this was so rambly I guess what I was looking for is if any one else had any similiar experiences with others trying to keep them from marrying or dating someone else even in the congregation, when your technically not doing anything wrong. This was over 13 years ago and it still upsets me, my MIL went so far as to tell a car group full of people we would marry over her dead body.

I know there are ones on here shaking their heads at me, I do believe the basic teachings, what brought me to post a thread was a thread that hit home, the topic of dating in the oganization, it brought up a lot of hurt feelings for me. See, I used to pioneer and I basically burned out, I was working Mon Wed Friday Sat and Sun 2nd shift so I could go to the meetings on Tue and Thurs. This meant no real free down time, so I went off the list and then for no real reason people stopped talking to me, so I took some classes and got a promotion where I worked moved out of my parents house cause they were fighting all the time, I remained active getting at least 8 hrs a month in the ministry, anyway, and then all of a sudden, I could almost feel the whispers about the 21 year old single girl who moved out on her own, but I stuck with it, cause I wasn't in it for the people really. Then a cute little 19 year old ministerial servant showed some intrest in me, despite all the wagging toungues, we dated for 3 mos when an elder pulled him aside and asked him if he were ready for marriage, well of course the answer was NO I mean who is going to yes to such a direct question, so the elder basically told him to break up with me, and he did, Then this Bro, asked me for something like a momento or something, and I angrily replied that he didn't deserve it for letting someone make a descion for him. 3 days later he told me he was wrong, but then 6 mos before we were to be married another elder pulled him aside and told him I was moody and that was a bad personaility trait to have in a wife, this time my fiancee told the brother that in his opinion all women were a bit moody and to mind his own business. I just related to that thread so much it was like I wasn't good enough for this brother in everyones opinion mostly because the brother had a goal of bethel, but he never wanted to pioneer and I thought that was a requirement so for the last 13 years I've always felt that people think I'm the one that ruined my husband. Thanks for letting me vent.
