JW or not, I would be REAAALLLY upset if I found out my husband was "befriending" a female. That can NEVER end well. And I know and you know you use that female friend to complain about your marriage. Put that shoe on your other foot...would you tolerate her having a secret relationship with another man? It's never a good idea if you are concerned about your marriage. That trust issue is one that cant ever be fixed once its broken.

Questioned By The Elders. Lawsuit?
by Hangin_on ini was dfed for 3 years and could not get back in for the life of me.
(long story one elder from my committee even held onto my letter and didnt give it to the other elders for 6 weeks) my current wife who i was dfed for back in the day (a few years ago) found out that i was text messaging and calling one of her friends (another sister in the hall) and she is very upset.
instead of handling it like a family she "eldered up" and i got pulled into the back room with 2 elders.

New anointed rejected by the WT-society
by Kosonen innew anointed rejected by the wt-society.
i listened through the lates download wt, june 15, 2009. www.jw.org there is an article: the faithful steward and its governing body.. this article makes it clear that new anointed will not be consulted in preparing spiritual food.
other sheep are also told in other words not to listen to the opinion of new anointed in the congregations.. .

Where is that line in the sand? They have touted I believe, in the past, that when an annointed one is DFd or DAd that their "position becomes open" to another to keep the 144,000 make believe number filled? "Im sorry Brother Noob, tell me again how long have you been of the annointed? Let me consult my CHART here to see whether I should believe what you say 100% or maybe 60% depending on the length of time you have actually had your calling. BRB."
Oh what a tangled web we weave...

I live in SE Florida and homes all around me in what used to be a really lovely neighborhood in the heart of Palm Beach county (yet we are still unincorporated here) have gone back to the banks. But the BANKS arent keeping the properties up and so they look like nature reclamation projects with vines and weeds and long grass. It looks hideous and that by itself brings down the value of MY house. So anyone who is willing to come in and purchase those properties and maintain them I am all for it.
I hate that people had to lose their homes...I am not of the delusion that it wont or cant be me next...but its a process and a cycle. That whole buying frenzy a couple of years ago is what CAUSED this current forclosure slump. People bought ANYTHING for inflated prices thinking they were gonna flip em and make a quick buck. Well they got stuck with them and the banks got stuck with a boat load of bad loans because they participated in this frenzy as well, loaning money to people who were NOT qualified for it in the first place. Now the banks are stuck with a lot of bad properties, huge outstanding loan debt and homes worth a third of what they wrote mortgages on them for.
Its a life lesson for damn sure.

Forget all of that... how did eight people repopulate the entire world?? How did we end up with all these races if we are all middle eastern?
Bad visuals. Did God make gestation for humans the length of a fruit fly's for awhile to produce more humans quicker?

Now Some Witnesses Are Buying Backpacks To Get Ready For The Great Tribulation!
by minimus insome witnesses are making sure they're ready for the great day.
i've heard certain family members are getting supplies ready including 5 gallons of water, cans of food that can be opened without a can opener, and other "survival" stuff.
they have figured that since the awake (i think) reported how the "friends" got ready for hurricane katrina, they too must be ready for survival when the storm of armageddon rains down.. what will they think of next?.

The only thing they got right about 1975 was that it came after 1974 and before 1976.
