JWs no longer taking the Governing Body seriously.
by kneehighmiah inthe recent letter being us to come to detroit shows that jws are beginning not to take the gb seriously anymore.
the buzz following the meeting was that the letter was unprecedented in its tone.
this coming from long time jws of 30 years plus.

Yes, it is true that this memorial will be the last for many Jw's. Some will die and some will wake up. I know that my last memorial was five years ago. This is becoming pitiful.

I was talking about this subject with a friend, Brandt Jones. We just laughed that we don't know how we did it, with the elders meetings, phone calls, meetings, service, practice for assemblies etc., on top of all that trying to run a business. I enjoy the freedom on the weekends. At the time I'm on a project working six days a week. The overtime is great, but I could not have been able to stay on this job with the work schedule and been an active witness. LOL

Is Jesus Christ Your Mediator? Watchtower's Position is Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit!
by RottenRiley in2. p. 363; emphasis added) .
(ibid., p. 362; emphasis added) .. to say jesus is mediator only for the 144,000 is actually to deny the possibility of forgiveness of sins for any others.
; emphasis added) .

I learned how to hate people, be judgemental with others, and look down on anyone not doing what I thought they could, and took lessions from the best on how to bird dog everyone and make them feel it.
In addition: I was trained by the elders on how to make unoffical notations of meeting attendance records of those that were there and not there to use later in elders meetings. Was trained how to freeze out promising future elders or servants and make living hell for others in the congregation if they didn't live up to the snobbiest of elders and their wives standards.
I don't claim to be guilty, endorsed, or used of any of these taught things, and if I was, it was unintentional, and I apologize to anyone hurt. I just know that after nearly five years of being away from the hateful environment I have a different disposition and my life is full of peace with little drama and the only soap operas in my life are shown when I am at work. LOL

marriage without affection/sex/touching
by zeb inyes thats my situation.
some where along the path of life the wt guilt trip was dumped on our marriage and we havent had sex for years.. anyone else?
the hearts and flowers and gifts and doing the cleaning, the house work and paying the daily accounts never being drunk on drugs playing the horses or screwing others yep its all there but nothing coming back due to the wt guilt trip.. they made so much of 'oral sex' and 'pornea' incorrectly quoted at that and ventured thereby into areas they were patently very ill equipped to comment on.

I wanted to bump this thread and ask for advise and mature discussion without this becoming dirty. I am having a similar problem in my marriage of over 20+ years. I have talked with the Mrs.es about the lack of intimacy in our marriage and she told me that she was ok for me to (the Maa word) myself? NOT that I share the WT's view of (the Maa word), but, I was somewhat shocked by my wife suggesting this as a solution. WThell.
She is in her late 40's. Is this a normal stage for women? I work hard to provide for my family and have a good job; I have a beautiful intelligent teenage daughter as a result of our marriage. My wife is still attractive, and I have maintained myself physically also and am not grossly overweight or bald etc.
My wife is and has always been very easy to live with and not jealous of other women, (although,I don't give her any reason to be jealous). However, from the beginning of our marriage she has historically not been overly interested in sexual relations. The first year of marriage was in Bethell, yes, a bad decision made by me. But it did give her the opportunity to establish herself independently from her mother.
She is not financially demanding, she is frugal, loving, carries good conversation, is not argumentative, nor judgemental towards me. She understood when I discussed and explained to her my new position about the teachings of JW's. Within 6 months she had stop attending the meetings also . I encouraged her to go to the community college to become an RN and she recently graduated and now has a job at the hospital as a Registered Nurse. She is a hard worker and now she does contribute to the finances of our family.
Not that I have discussed my personal problem with men on the job, but I have listened to their stories, and there are several that have moved their wifes out and either divorced or separated them when sexual intimacy stopped.
I am not fond of the idea, but I have given some thought to seeking from outside the marrage sexual intimacy. I am still an attractive funny man, and if I pressed the matter I'm sure that there would be suitors to have relations with. The Mrs.es even mentioned something about being careful not to get a STD.
What should I do? I am not fond of the roommate companionship that I have.

Amazon has customers reviews and upon opening the page there is one sample of the highest ratings and one of the lowest ratings. I really doubt WTBTS will ever consider this.
