has anyone else ever noticed this in the kh?
married couples don't seem to show any affection to each other.
however, when a couple is dating, they will hold hands.
Some do and some don't. Those that do, (like my husband and I) are not putting on a show, but don't care what others think. Those that don't may be prudes or don't want to "stumble" anyone - you know how that one goes. Or else they may not have that in their relationship.
I don't think in most cases it's a question of loving the other person. It's just about feeling comfortable showing affection in public.

it's my favorite fishing place.
Heh UncleBruce,
Thanks for the pics. Beautiful scenery!! What type of house are you going to build? Do you have electric and water? Have to have septic tank and well dug?
Keep us posted. Your temp. digs look good.

The organization and all of their RULES, RULES, RULES
informed by someone who is separated, but not legally, and was told they couldn't aux.
pioneer.
was told that it was always this way.. i can't remember this question on the form for aux.
Thanks friends for your help. This person's brother is an elder who is giving him this info. In the same cong. as he. Elders want my friend to meet w/them and his wife, who goes to another cong., and they say that she talks to them, but she won't give her husband the time of day. Sounds to me she's a real piece of work. Thanks Blondie for your input w/the "rules". Must go along w/moral character. Of course they are the professionals on this topic, heh? Yeah, right.

i am half way through the book and am finding some surprising information.
i was always told that the gb met on wed. and prayed before considering their decisions on things, but was i surprised that different ones were given the assignments and to use if they wanted other "worldly" written things and then were off on their own to work independantly or w/another to come up w/the book, etc.. also, the malawi and mexico difference in treatment.
brothers lied to escape military service in mexico.
Yes Tophat.
I finished the book and read about that also. They had to be in deep despair! Can you imagine. They must've felt like they had just got a blow in the stomach!
So rude and haughty, unloving and cruel. And these men are at the top of "Jehovah God's channel" for all mankind. I'd receive better treatment from the local McDonald's fast food chain!!!!!
Thanks again to all of you for your thoughts. We were all in the same "boat" at some time, but we can survive such lies and go on as unbittered people too.

Thanks guys for your observations!
As I read through them it was very obvious that these could all be printed on the book jacket as what to expect from the book.
I read until 3AM this morning and am almost done w/the book. HAVE to finish it.
Another point. Didn't the Potsinger (sp?) person who was in a Nazi camp act like his captors minus the physical harm towards Franz and the others? You'd think he would've been more reasonable. But of course he wanted to maintain his status at the top. What a b******. Like the rest.
Juni (have to get some more sleep now)
here is some news from a source within one of the wts branches:
hot news from todays morning worship announcement worldwide -- letter from gb being read on 1st of march 2006 to every branch (hopefully we will have a copy of the letter soon.).
as of aug. 31, 2006 the bethel elder arrangement will be dissolved!
Bethel elders sit at the head and the foot of the tables in the dining rooms and "maintain order" and check up on those seated there. Can't miss too many breakfasts or be late or sick too often and they check up on you. Any reports about bad behavior are checked into by them. I think you have to be a Bethel elder to be in a supervisory position at Bethel.
with these guys gone - FOOD FIGHT!!
back when i was a boy in the 1950s many men wore hats and so did my father.. one evening at the kh he was called in to the backroom by the elders for a 'meeting after the meeting',.
his crime?
he had been seen raising his hat when greeting women!!!!.
I AGREE WITH YOU YUCCA!!!!
They should go back to using the Sears Catalog pages. I remember before we "came in" in 1970 that the bros could only wear white shirts. They finally let up and ok ed colored shirts. How daring!!

Thanks to all of you for your input. We are all shocked and enlightened over this book and what it has to say.
GBL - Matrix, heh? I know how you feel.
IRON CLAW - I will look up your profile.
And to all of you, I will continue to read on in the other books after COC.
