Giving admonition via Watchtower writing department...
by Bryan inalong the lines of old soul's plea to afin, and afin's in abiltily to provide scriptual guidance/proof/support for old soul's questions; i began to think.. have you ever given guidance/support/councel with the written publications because there were no scriptures?.
when i was a mini-servant around 1984, there was a "brother" who would brag about his oral sex encounters with his new wife.
i knew it was "wrong" (also a little crude), but i coundn't find a scripture for the councel.

Midlife Crisis
by jeanniebeanz inyour problem.
you have been taught when relationships don't go well it is your responsibility to correct the situation.
when you get angry it is okay for you to express that anger but "society" says he must be in control no matter the situation.

were you more 'materialistic' when you were a witness???
by chuckyy init was my experience when a jw that many focussed their lives around...having good holidays...having nice cars (some with private plates)...having perfect houses etc etc.
it all seemed very materialistic to me.
totally the opposite to what was being preached from the platform.

congregational cliques
by chuckyy init was my experience during my 13 yrs as a jw that congregations usually had a social clique.
in other words, there would be a group of people in a congregation that would only associate (and sometimes only go out on field service too) with people within that social clique.
if you were in the clique, fine.
