Begging for money at Bethel
by life is to short inthe thread about the circuit assembly accounts and where the money goes reminded me of one time when we were at bethel.. we were at bethel between 1991 to 1994, there had been some problem in another country and at morning worship they asked all of us bethelites to put in at least one dollar a person to send to the brothers in this problem country.. at the time my husband and i just did not have it.
we only got $90 a person so $180 a couple.
ok i know we had a free place to live but we still had to pay for car gas to the hall our car insurance, air conditioning, shampoo, clothes, etc.

The WT or FS really are abusers (sorry I posted wrong the first time)
by life is to short insorry i hit some button that i did not mean to and it posted before i could write it.
but i was thinking of how the gb really are like true abusers.
elizabeth smart was on dateline friday night and her abuser basically wanted her life, to take her life away by enslaving her.

December 15th WT gives example of sister who quit her job so she could go to an convention.
by life is to short ini was beyond mad when i heard this.
it is on page 30 of the wt.. it says "a pioneer named roxana is one who has seen how jehovah provides for his people.
when she asked her employer for permission to take some days off to attend one of our conventions, he angrily retorted that if she went, he would fire her.

Has anyone noticed that they are really pushing that Satan is after us and how much the world hates us.
by life is to short init seems like the january 15th wt and the march 15 wt are about satan attacking us.
maybe it is because i am seeing things more clearly or maybe they are truly using it more.
they are really getting into the fact that the world hates us a quote from the jan 15th wt on page 30 says "the world is basically hostile toward us.

As a woman in the truth what went through your head when you realized that us sister had to cover our heads?
by life is to short inok i was raised in the "truth" but no one ever studied with me.
my parents were abusive and i got nothing from them or anyone in the "truth" no bible study any attention nothing from anyone.. i read the great teacher book to myself at the age of seven, and when i was in my mid teens i started studying on my own with no help from anyone nor any answers my questions expect to be rebuked if i asked the wrong question so i quit asking it was god's chosen religion after all who was i to question anything.
i conducted the sort of study and this elder looked at me and said where is your head covering.

Why not at least lock Satan up until the court case happens?
by life is to short ini was cleaning the house yesterday and my husband had an awake out.
i just flipped through it for a second and one article struck me.
it was the example of why god is allowing suffering and it being a court case.

Experience about a elder who put Jehovah ahead of his family
by life is to short ini posted a thread yesterday about my elder husband putting the publishing plant first, and i was reminded that not all elders do that.
that is very true, i know that and i pointed it out to my husband many times though it did not good.
but the elders are told over and over to the brog first and it reminded me of an experience that they had at the last dc i went to in 2009.. they had a family on the stage the husband was an elder of course, they had i believe three kids if not four.
