June 2017 program - beards/mixed messages

by neat blue dog in

nothing big here, just a couple small observations:.

on this month's program at about the 43 minute mark, after bragging about giving a little medical help to jws in africa, they make them 'pay' for their services by offering onscreen testimonials thanking the organization.

one of them is an elderly man who i think got hearing aids or something (i forget) and said that now he can hear the meetings better.

if you are, you know it is not easy to remain intimate with someone who thinks you are basically "walking dead".. any thoughts or tips to share with the board?.

what has been the greatest issue for your marriage?.

need to vent?.

I think the only thing that will get you through this intact is if you have a really close friendship with your other, sadly most jws did not have this best friends type of relationship going into their marriage, to the contrary I've seen elders pressure the quick marriages of virtual strangers,

When you left the meetings you "left Jehovah" You do realize that jws equate "The Society" with Jehovah right? A good jw puts Jehovah First in his/her life, do you ever feel that you are competing with the Almighty for attention?

You are
