...apparently not enough.... my wife were supposed to meet with the elders saturday.

unfortunately(for her), the brothers cancelled the meeting.

the reason being i dont have a clue, but the way my wife explained it to me was that they had to tend to one of the elder's injury on his leg(she was notified of this the week she turned in that letter so thats not a real excuse because they've had alternatives).

well...my family is moving back to pa in may.

as a result, my wife wrote a 2nd letter to the brothers to see if she can get reinstated before she leave.

her first letter was ok but their response was, of course, attend more meetings!!.

Loosened up or Double-Life?

as i was interested in knowing the watchtower's history, plus hearing testimonies, it would see that back in the 1950s or as far as ex-jws can remember that things were alot stricter.

meetings 5 days a week, field service is needed to stay in good standing, etc.. .

nowadays, since i hang out with one of my jw brother-in-laws, i cant help but to wonder...is today's technological generation taking its tool on the wtbts or are jws accepting it without taking the 'dangers' into consideration?

hey friends.

this will be my first serious post in a while.

just wanna know if anyone on the board has ever been in the same predicament as i'm in right now based on recent events with my d/fed jw wife and my jw in-laws.. at any way i'm not trying to sound selfish nor care about myself in any way, but my experiences of me,my daughter and my d/fed wife living under my in-laws doesnt sit well with me anymore.

Are We Not Made In The Image of God?

2. bible
this is a typical question i often hear when jws debate on christ's divinity(phillipians 2:5-7).

is is me or when they say this it sounds as if they put us(imperfect, human beings) in the same catagory with the messiah(jesus)?

quick question that goes for everyone.
