Were you pressured into marrying/having children young?
by breakingfree inthis is probably something women in the organisation experience more than men.
even though we were instructed from the platform to use our youth to go pioneering, the older sisters in the congregation always seemed to be pushing younger women to marry and have children so they would be 'happy' like them .
when i got married (far too young, lucky it worked out) there was instant teasing, encouragement, etc to procreate.

This WT article makes me mad.... this is evil
by dawg init's bad enought that young people in the wt have to sell magizines, risk shunning when they find out the truth about the gb... but this article really makes me laugh and angry at the same time.
the part that made me the maddest was when the father said he "conquered" the habit, lying bastard!

Spouses of JW's who attend meetings but never get baptized
by Bonnie_Clyde ini know one who has attended meetings for 42 years, he knows it's a bunch of crap, but he loves his wife and doesn't want to mess up their relationship.
he is actually quite wealthy--maybe that makes a difference.
he doesn't have to worry about how to pay the bills.
