i'm curious..... the society's policies on the issue of a person seperating from his or her mate is the following (so far as i know):.
the mate may "scripturally" seperate on the grounds of:.
1) extreme abuse.
Thanks for the information. Just as I thought, nowhere does the Bible spell out exactly what grounds there are for "legal seperation" -- something that didn't even exist back then. Interestingly, the family member I mentioned earlier seperated for verbal abuse only -- nothing physical at all. I wonder if they and the elders involved were violating the WTs policy?

1) Extreme abuse
2) Willful nonsupport
3) Total and absolute endangerment of spirituality
I personally know of a family member who seperated from their mate for extreme verbal abuse and nothing more. The elders supported this person's decision.
My question is this: How does the Society back up these three critereon scripturally?

from this week's "onion"...... friend-matching web sites like www.friendster.com [or the jwd .
online friends easier to cut loose than people who live in your building.
great way to chip away at the remaining normal methods of human interaction.

Friend-matching web sites like www.Friendster.com [or the JWD ] are gaining in popularity. What's the appeal?

remember that mtv show "celebrity deathmatch" where comic characters of famous people battle it out in the ring?
(is that show still on?
) well, what would our own little "deathmatch" be like?
first, the tee-up: many on this board are former jws.
former jws fall into two categories:.
1) those who consciously chose out, perhaps as an intellectual position, perhaps as an emotional reaction to some event, maybe while in the throes of some existential crisis.. 2) those who blew it, and got busted for (cue music) breakin the law, breakin' the law, breakin' the law.

AlanF versus Farkel......who would win? Farkel. (But only by knocking over Alan with a steel chair while the referee wasn't looking)
Onacruse versus Little Toe....ah, yes -- The Battle of the "Nice Guys." Of course LT would be wearing his kilt to the ring, ala "Rowdy Roddy Piper." Onacruse wins with a little illegal help from Biker Chic....oh no!
Stinky Pantz versus Prisca....oooh, this one would get nasty. Can you imagine the hair-pullin, nail scratchin thriller this girl fight would be? My money would be on Prisca, though. It's that look in her eyes....
