for real mad tiger! I just don't get why people have to be like that. even when i was the zealous young pioneer sister that i was i thought it was wrong to sit there and gossip about the people who were late for the meetings or who weren't there for the watchtower discussion. i knew a sister that was late every single meeting and people would say all sorts of mean things about her but what they didn't know was she had an abusive husband and a bratty 12 yr old girl that kicked and screamed everytime she would try to get her to go to the meetings which made her late. i think people are so bored with their own lives they have to focus on others. i agree with mad tiger : leave people alone!

Why is the attendance numbers taken twice during the meetings?
by JH inthe watchtower wants to know just about everything and the attendance at meetings is one of them.. do they count how many people are at the hall a second time, just to know if anyone slipped out un noticed ?.

It cracks me up now thinking of all the dirty looks i would get if i had to leave during the "half time" song. if someone didn't stay for the 2nd meeting, afterward everyone would sit around asking about them and gossiping. oh, what a loving brotherhood. lol they also count the people listening over the phones. did your congregations have that?

Am I being dumb?
by bluebell ini really and truly believe that my father did not abuse either of my two younger sisters, just me.
my one sister was abused by my brother, which makes me think he was abused so as to act like that.. i left the jw's after finding he could get responsibilities again and because i realised that i would always be viewed as bad association no matter how hard i tried because i just didn't fit in.. i never wanted to take it any further than the congregation because i did not want to rip my family apart.. but if i had a child i would not let him alone with them.. can someone just abuse one victim (maybe two if my bro was abused as i think he was)?
or do they always abuse more?.

well from my experience an abuser usually have more than one victim. Take my brother for instance he abused my sister before me but moved on to me when she got older. i think that it has to do with the age. but i also don't think an abuser is just happy with one victim. I'm so sorry for what you did and still are going through. i'm still trying to cope. hang in there.

Isn't Jehovah a wonderful God?
by nvrgnbk inwhen i look around at all the people in the world, i'm comforted to know that jehovah will soon destroy them.. i'm talking about people that don't attend our encouraging christian meetings.
yes, people that don't zealously participate in the preaching of the good news.
'what good news?

Bro. Nvr I have to confess i've been missing some meetings lately due to work. I don't want to be destroyed by our loving god. what should I do? How shall i repent for my wrong doings? I have also been talking to ... worldly people outside of work... is this a sure fact i will be destroyed? Can we discuss this after the meeting Sunday?

Why would a young sister marry an old brother?
by JH ini recall a ms brother about 62 years old dating and marrying a sister about 30 years younger.
i respect their choice and if they are in love, well good for them.
but i don't think it's to the best interest of the younger one...... do jw's accept bigger age differences in marriage than other religions?.

man, there is no better sex than with an experienced man. thats another reason to go for the older guys. (sigh)

well i am 19 and am married to a 30 year old man. I can't imagine being with anyone else. Sometimes you just click better with someone older than someone your own age. i don't think age matters as long as you love one another. the age difference may cause some problems but those problems are small if you really love and care about that person.

i've been told a lot recently that i should try really meditating and looking in to different types of meditating. where do I start? is it really as calming and good for you as they say?
