Im finally leaving my jw husband.
by littlebird insome of you know i have struggled with this for awhile.
i really do believe in marriage and the committment, however, sometimes enough is enough.. his endless preaching at me and calling me and my (adult) children satan has me realizing that this situation is not going to get better.
the other day he kicked my son out of the house for wearing a cap, in his car, with a skull on it.

Does the CO visit inactive ones during his visit?
by NiceDream inwe haven't been to meetings for a few months and weren't aware of the co visit until we received a phone call an hour and a half before the meeting letting us know.
no one came to visit us so far this week, not that i'm complaining.
does the co usually stop by in service?

Change in meeting attendance procedure - can't figure out why though
by sir82 inper a recent letter to elders:.
beginning september 1, there will be a change to the way attendance is recorded at congregation meetings.. currently, attendance is counted at 4 of the 5 meeting (public talk, wt study, congregation "bible" study, and service meeting).. but after sept. 1, meeting attendance will only be taken at 2 of the meetings - during the "first quarter" of the wt study, and also at the cbs.. .
no reason in given for the change in the letter, and i can't figure out why myself.. the numbers are not published anywhere - the only "official" record is a 6 month average the co puts together during his visit.. why request less information from the congregations, especially when it "costs" nothing to accumulate it in the first place?

by Bethelite Elder indoes this give us any insight into the elite ones of the earth?

Sen. Shelby Slams Census Bureau for Allowing Sex Offenders to Go Door-to-Door
by Lost-In-Translation ini cannot understand how the news media makes a huge deal about one sexual offender census worker going door-to-door, but ignores that the wtbs permits sexual offenders to go door-to-door.
the wtbs claims that they cannot prevent a "christian" sexual offender in the congregation from going door-to-door since that is part of "true" worship.
they care more about keeping dangerous predators out in field service than protecting innocent children and others.
