Business Suits
by IMHO ineveryone knows that as a jw a brother (man) has to wear a suit - matching jacket and trousers (on some occasions an un-matching jacket may be permissable), shirt and tie.. so why do sisters (women) not have to wear business suits (matching jacket and skirt)?.
i thougt of this as i looked at the latest 'gilead graduation' photo.
all the women had business suits on.

Help please - my wife wants a divorce
by IMHO ini've read some old posts and they don't really fit my situation.. my wife just told me she wants a divorce and that's it after nearly 20 years., she doesn't want to try to work on it.. other posts talk about friends and family.
i have no family and no friends (due to a lot of traveling).. i went back to my hometown a year ago (after many years away) and even then old friends treated me as a stranger, like they've moved on.. i've had a lot of emotional / mental problems, basically a breakdown so have found it impossible to fulfill my role as a husband for many years, emotionally and physically and she said she's had enough, although she's never talked about it before.. she went out and had an unplanned one-night-stand.
i forgive me but she says she doesn't love me anymore.. we both find it very difficult to communicate our feelings.

Parents beware
by IMHO indon't walk around a convention with your child if you are not wearing a convention badge.. you will be questioned as if you are a peadophile.
they will even check with your child (whatever their age) whether you are their parent.. it happened t me.. .
to make it worse an announcement encouraging children to 'seek help' from someone wearing a flourescent jacket.

is this by design, or is it elders slipping up?.

Illeism
by IMHO inilleism - the act of referring to oneself in the thrid person.
i am alone, or do you find it really, really annoying when 'speakers' (talk givers) refer to themselves in the third person.
say brother smith is giving the public talk and giving encouragement to do more, then he says:.
