I hear you. Dental problems run in my and my wife's families. Poor kids. Their oral hygene isn't a factor as much it appears genetic or we've been catching a super-bacteria and spreading it. Totally sucks. And costs for dental work are astromomical. I really do not know why they are so high.

Dental Problems are interesting
by Terry inmy appointment with the oral surgeon was this morning at 10 a.m.. the tooth i'd cracked had to be tended to.
i knocked the whole top off by eating a cube of ice.
(yes, the word "moron" comes to mind..:).

What Did You Do As A Witness That Could Have Gotten You Into Trouble Had The Elders Ever Known About It?
by minimus inmy elder buddy and i would frequent strip clubs when we wanted to.. a few friends knew i enjoyed clubbing and music concerts and i seldom ever spoke of my private social life to others.. i know many jws, including elders, that drank excessively but that wasn't considered too big a deal..

Mrs Cedars and I try an interesting diet...
by cedars ini guess no matter what country you live in, the costs of food and everything are going up.
it's certainly no different where mrs cedars and i live, and we're noticing a huge increase on our monthly spending for basic commodities - especially food and drink.. normally when we go shopping i tend to stock up on drinks - mostly beer, wine, and fizzy drinks like coke, fanta or sprite.
i tend to be quite picky with my fizzy drinks, and i can't really tolerate cheap "store brand" imitations.

We used to mix vodka and soda, but we've switched to club soda and a little juice instead.

My take on current direction of WTBS
by Cagefighter inafter keeping up with the changes and new practices of the "org" one thing seems clear to me: the wtbs is looking at getting out of the religion business.
it seems running a worldwide religious organization is becoming too much of a legal liability especially when relying on uneducated and poorly trained men to run said organization.
look at the quagmire, the catholic church suffered with the child abuse scandal and this was a much larger and educated group of people.. that being said, i see the wtbs retreating back from being the head of the religion and moving back towards simply being a publishing company.

I doubt the GB could stomach giving up ANY control. They'd see it burned to the ground before that happened.

The Decline of Elders and Ministerial Servants
by Londo111 ini seem to remember somebody saying that since the 90's the number of elders has declined from 90000 to 60000. does anybody have any hard figures regarding this?.
the organization is desperate for "qualified" men.
but their standards are much too high, especially the monthly field service hour requirements tagged on to endless meetings and congregational busywork.

Wow Jamir. That is nutty that they still keep you as an MS. They must be desperate.
Sorry to hear about your relationship issues. I'll comment on that, the best thing you both can do is work on rebuilding your relationship together and not letting others interfere. Even if you guys(or she) have slip ups, don't involve the borg. It's your private business. You'll probably find that alot of the reason for the relationship issues are borg related. Even if they aren't, getting out of it and working together as true partners and friends without any interference is the best thing you can do.

LV, unless it's been documented it's just rumor. Unfortunately the media doesn't care too much about this silly sect/cult. The court case and millions of $$ award has come and gone for the media.
