Visiting MIL tomorrow - says she has a present for us!
by Little Imp inwe are visiting my husband's parents tomorrow but over the phone mil says she has a present for us.. the only time that she has given us a present in the eight years i have known them was one of the little books we used for the tuesday evening book study, this was presented to me all wrapped nicely in pretty paper.. i just hope that we are not in for a witnessing!.
if it is another book there is no way i am bringing it home, i don't want any more jw crap in our house.
we will just conveniently forget to pick it up.

Molested in 53 another JW Casualty
by exwhyzee ini have a relative who is now about 73 is a really cool, smart old guy a paul newman look alike who has led an interesting and successful life, traveled the world and raised a large family.
he was raised as a witness by his mother whose husband left the family when she became a witness.
many of his siblings and relatives have gone on to be circuit overseers, gilead grads and bethelites but he left the truth when he was in his teens.

Ladies, would you have preferred to talk to a female elder in the past?
by asilentone inladies, would you rather to confess your sins to a female elder rather than a male elder?
i am sure a good number of you has already confessed to the elders.
well, i did confess to the elders 20 years ago because i felt so guilty and i did not want to die at armageddon, thanks a lot to the watchtower for the guilt trips in their literature!

The Westboro Baptist Church uses term "Disfellowship"
by meangirl ini just got through reading a biography by lauren drain "banished-a memoir" where she writes about surviving her years in the westboro baptist church and i noticed that they use the term disfellowship.
i thought it was interesting since i had never heard of another religion using that term.
hmmmmm so a "hate group" uses that term.....interesting don't you think?.

Why does the organization respect some cultures and not others specifically American?
by meangirl inokay, i am trying to wrap my head around this and it just does not make any sense.
i could not think of one "american" tradition/culture that is "allowed" by the society.
heck even football is frowned on.

My heart bleeds for (This woman) the women.
by acolytes inwhen ever bethel is rang the sister answers and places your call with an experienced brother.. so today i rang the bethel and spoke to the receptionist.. i said my question was directed to her.
this was the tough question "can you imagine never having had a child and held that child in your arms.........the conversation progressed and the sister said "do you know how old iam.....".
to cut a long phone-call.
