so i travel alot for business and check into a hotel, start putting away my things and lo and behold in a bureau drawer, find a couple of wt's a couple of awake's and two tracts.

1. throw them in the trash and forget about it.

2. leave them where they lay and forget about it.. 3. leave a note for the housekeeper asking to lay off the cult recruitment.. 4. bring it to the attention of the management, and possibly get the housekeeper fired.. thanks for your input.

May not have been the housekeeper. Probably wasn't. Write jwfacts.com in bold ink all over them.

I need some input: I have come to the conclusion my wife blames me for her lack of spirituality

by goingthruthemotions in

so lately my wife and i have been arguing alot.

not big arguments...but more of a bickering.. you see, over the last year i have stepped down as an ms and we moved halls.

last november was around the time i woke.. during this time we still have family studies....but only from the bible.

I received some excellent advice when I first joined this site and was going through what you are going through. My wife did similar things as well by the way. She is now fully out, and completely happy. My wife didn't talk at doors in field service and didn't make comments, She was not even on the school. If our child was even slightly sick she would be more than happy to stay home. If I was sick she wouldn't go to the meetings without me. But, if I tried to stay home instead of going to a meeting, without a great excuse, she complained, acted hurt, and like I was failing.

Back to the excellent advice that I received when I first joined. Right now, with your wife judging your spirituality or lack thereof, and looking at you critically, you need to be the very best husband that you have ever been in your marriage. You need to open doors for her, carry things for her, say I love you, do some laundry or dishes if she usually does. Clean the house for her or just start cleaning a room without being asked. I don't mean any of the things I just said in a sexist way. I have change so much since leaving the JW's. But in the cult, very often Women do most of the things around the house, even if they have a full-time job. That's not fair at all if you think about it. Both spouses are working full time but one of them does the lion share of things around the house. You may already be doing with all of these things I just said, I am not trying to act like you were not. But, what ever your wife appreciates do more of that! I feel that what really helped me with my wife, was letting her see that just because some things were changing with me in regards to meeting attendance or studying watchtower publications, did not mean that I was becoming bad.

Good luck!

I really don't understand this

why, if you're a health care worker who's been exposed to the ebola virus, would you get on an airplane and travel right after?.

If they tried to charge the African guy with a crime for visiting after knowing he was around infected people, will they charge this nurse with a crime?

She have known better than a man from africa without a medical education.

Two Tests Before Everlasting Life?

by lambsbottom in

so, even if jws of the great crowd are found faithful and sparred at armageddon, they still have to prove faithful at the final judgement at the end of 1,000 years, right?

or, are jws of the great crowd assured they will pass the final judgement.

two tests doesnt sound fair!.

no fair and a pointless test. If god can read hearts then whats the need?

The Threat From Ebola by Somebody Who Discovered It

by cofty in

this interview in der spiegel is well worth your time.... peter piot was one of the scientists who discovered ebola in 1976. turns out it was the fault of catholic nuns who coldn't be bothered to sterilise the needles they were using to administer vitamins to pregnant women.. he describes the present outbreak as "a perfect storm" which could claim a frightening number of lives in africa and india.

he doesn't see it as a serious threat to countries with a modern health care system.. "i still remember exactly: one day in september, a pilot from sabena airlines brought us a shiny blue thermos and a letter from a doctor in kinshasa in what was then zaire...".

I'm not a panicked freak out type. I have been making fun of those people to date... But, right now I'm watching CNN. This idiot is talking about having it under control. How can they possibly know every person who has been in contact with these hospital nurses since their exposure. It can take 22 days to show symptoms. Then you have these idiots flying around the country with ebola. &$%^&^&^( This is not going to end well.
