still, i never felt terribly deprived because of not going further in my education.. yet, i did wish that i could've had "normal" aka "worldly friends".

i wish that as witnesses, we could've been better integrated with other people.

I walked out of an Elder's Meeting

by AlmightyDog in

well here goes... i apologize in advance if this turns into a long and disjointed rant, but i just have to begin typing in order to keep from exploding.

i realize that what im about to say could seriously jeopardize my anonymity, but i think ive reached the point that i just dont care.

i want this to be over.. let me explain what caused me to rip up a letter and get up and walk out in the middle of an elders meeting two weekends ago.. our boe has been embroiled in a nasty fight for the past 2 years over a certain brothers business dealings.

I am in agreement with Doubting Bro...You have a perfect excuse to be stumbled right out of the "Christian Congregation". Walk away while you have this opening.

Sunday Drama-"Young Ones-Be Discreet and Wise"

i briefly touched on the drama in another post, but i felt i needed to share in greater detail this latest masterpiece.. .

this was the drama on sunday.

the story alternates between the story of joseph, son of jacob, and a witness kid (forgot his name;billy?

And remember, if you do things Jehovah's way, it ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS works out right, but if you don't, it NEVER, NEVER, NEVER does (as many victims of child molestation in the Hall will vouch for!)

You nailed it!

So the drama portrays a approved teenage worshipper as having no friends at the hall or at school? What is this telling every JW high school student in the audience?...If you are liked by anyone, you must be sinning?

The drama should appropriately end with Timmy receiving a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford, but turning it down to be a window washer.

Wifes leaving their husbands

by Lazarus in

this year alone, three wifes in my congo left their husband and da with jws (all of them have kids).

similar cases are seen in nearby congos.

its striking that far more women leave their man and the jws then man do.. i would like to know, whether this observation can be made in your area too.

Welcom Lazarus!!

It was happening a lot in my area when I left. Many elder's wives are just tired of being ignored while their husband is flaunted up on stage every week.

I left my husband after 20 years of marriage, but definitely not for another man. I needed to be free of religion and men!
