Where to begin...once I confided some personal information to an elder's wife. The following week another sister asked me about the issue. When I asked where she heard this, she said, "Oh, P^&*()^ told me like a good elder's wife should". I went ballistic, but, as usual the whole thing was made to be my fault somehow.

What pisses you off about elders wives?
by bay64me in.
the elders wife that really pisses me off, is the one that would boastfully announce that jehovah had provided her husband with a part-time teaching job, emphasising that his employment was "on the line" each year....but thanks to jehovah,(in other words) we are so fucking loyal and do many hours in field service and things that nobody could possibly know about ( but i'm letting you know indirectly) so my husband has an income to assist us in our pioneer service!

I love my pet snake to pieces! (Not many people have ever said that, I'm sure). My Koi are wonderful as well. I wish I could have a dog, but unfortunately I travel far to much for my job and it wouldn't be fair.

When I lived in Ireland, I rented a summer house in the dead of winter for 20 pound a week. Complete with no heat, no hot water, and no insulation. I used to wear 3 layer of clothes to be and sleep in a sleeping bag with a hat on my head. I vowed that whenever I finally got my own place I would crank the heat as high as I wanted. And I do every winter.

I was always case #2, even as a regular pioneer. Usually the elders would talk some real spiritual sister who had nothing in common with me to offer me counsel, etc. It was so humiliating.

Do dubs deal with death better than others?
by SpiceItUp ingoing to that funeral this week made me think about a few things.. first the family members that attended, who btw were not dubs, were shedding tears.
i did not see anyone else there crying even though the woman who died was a great friend and will really be missed.. now since the dubs have the hope of the "resurrection" does that allieviate their grief that they should normally posess?
does that mean they are "happy" when someone dies because their wait is over?

I have seen very little crying at dub funerals. At one of the last ones I attended, the husband of an elderly woman, married over 50 years had died. She sobbed hysterically for him and it seemed that the other dubs were embarrassed for her. I thought that was wrong. No one knows what the future really brings so it is important to grieve, not get all trance-like about the "new system".

Incoming Financial Disaster? Take Cover!
by Defender injust read this guy's economic outlook and ordered his book http://www.elliottwave.com/affiliates/ctc/part1.htm.
apparently, he made several right calls in the past.
he was on cnn tonight and predicted that we are in the initial phase of a deflationary depression.

That's right Defender. It will be a self fulfilling prophesy. They market runs so wildly on speculation.
