Congregations have all sorts of stupid rules, going well beyond the things written. In on a 15 year affair was 'overlooked' as the sister in question was 'so faithful' otherwise!!!!!!!!!!!

all sex and nothing to show for it!!!!!!!!!!
by petespal2002 inreading the thred on vasectomy got me musing; if we were put on earth to populate it, and given sex organs purely for this purpose, what about all the jw's who 'sacrifice' having a family so they can 'do more' in the service.
would it not be improper to use your sex organs purely for pleasure, or do they give up having sex as well?

by Dogpatch inoccasionally i go with friends to visit the santa monica farmer's market, and it is a good area to hang out in the summer in the evening.

It's so sad, but probably there is no apparent reason for it. But then again, is there a reason for all the loss of life in Iraq, or was President Bush "confused."

It sounds as if your niece is worried about the reaction from the elders. Is this because of the effect she knows it will have on her mom, or is she concerned about what may happen to her? There is a strong chance the situation would lead to her being 'marked'. This happened to a girl in our cong. some time back. and was one of the most embarrassing situations I have ever come across. The marking talk itself was enough to make her suicidal, even though she knew the man she was with was worth hanging on to, (they have since married), the public humilaition in front of long-time friends was devastating.
In my case I was dating a man classed as 'weak', so you can imagine! I was repeatedly counselled to stop seeing him,which I never did. My mom was beside herself and made it difficult for us to be together, which was heartbreaking at times as we were so close. However, to cut a long story short, it worked out in the end. My determination to keep my boyfriend was clear, and if I was not able to marry him I intimated we would live together. Needless to say that scenario was hideous and so we were married, in the KH (but that's another story.)
Tell your niece to hang on in there.

At the Manchester UK convention, on the subject of half-truths in the media, especially relating to the "supposed" change of stance on blood transfusions, the speaker said,
"Jehovah does not reveal new light through the Daily Mail."
Well I never!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JWs never really learn how to research
by Elsewhere inremember when you were in and you needed to "research" something?
we turned to the "publications" and simply believed whatever they told us to believe.. as jws, we never were taught how to go out and really research something by looking into the history.
we were always spoon-fed what they wanted us to think and believe.. *** w67 6/1 p. 338 move ahead with jehovahs organization ***.

excellent research tips, Grevan.
The crux of all research is critical reasoning.

carl kunde dies at silverdome
by kilroy2 inmy old partner daryl kunde's father died at the silverdome assembly last week.
it seem's kind of ironic but about 11 years ago when i was still going to the assemblys, we were at the silver dome and 8 old people collapsed from the heat.
[there is not air in the dome] this made me mad and i vented to daryl the monday after the assembly.

You should try the MEN Arena at Manchester UK. When I have been there for concerts it's been great, but for assemblies, oh dear lord! Something about the time of year perhaps?
