Are You Invisible -- to Yourself? Do I Have To Give Up ME to be Loved by God?
by Lost-In-Translation ini truly believe many jws suffer from what is described below.
the gb is constantly emphasizing "serving others" and "never rocking the boat" or "take the discipline even if it was not your fault" or "be a peacemaker no matter what even if your feelings are trampled on.
when i was a jw i never let anyone -especially any congregation elder- to walk over me - never.

magazine supply reduction
by agent zero inat the meeting tonight was read a letter to all congregations in canada.
it explained that since most publishers end up with left-over public edition magazines that didn't get placed at the end of each month, they will now no longer continue to have an individual magazine order per publisher.
instead, the entire congregation's supply of service edition magazines will be in a stack at the back of the kh, and they are to be taken according to need, with whatever is left over after service to be put back in the stack.

Could Watchtower Collapse Be Sooner Than You Think?
by metatron inthere have been a number of developments over the past few months and they paint an interesting picture.. witnesses can keep dragging themselves to meetings ad infinitum however, the future of the watchtower itself is another story.
the evidence of continuing cash flow problems is now overwhelming.
if you talk to well placed witnesses, most won't deny it but simply blame it on the publishers financial problems.. they have cut off loans to congregations many of whom genuinely need new kingdom halls.

Im finally leaving my jw husband.
by littlebird insome of you know i have struggled with this for awhile.
i really do believe in marriage and the committment, however, sometimes enough is enough.. his endless preaching at me and calling me and my (adult) children satan has me realizing that this situation is not going to get better.
the other day he kicked my son out of the house for wearing a cap, in his car, with a skull on it.

An Amish man has been charged with sexual assaults
by Lost-In-Translation inhttp://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/03/us/03amish.html?hp.
an amish man has been charged with sexual assaults, dividing a congregation that prefers to handle disputes internally.. i have no idea why religious leaders believe that they have the authority to handle sexual assaults internally.
when a crime is committed they should contact the proper authorities..
