  my wife who is currently on maternity leave made a comment about luck she was to leave in canada because we get 52 weeks maternity at basically 40,000 per year.

  she is not originally from canada coming from a country with basically no maternity leave.

  i told her to make sure she doesn't say anything like that at kh.

  Parallel holidays

  by Clambake in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so my wife congregation had a huge wing ding on jan. 2 complete with live band / food dancing and alcohol.

  yet her company had a yearend party on nov. 15 which she couldn’t go to because it could be perceived as a christmas party.

  i am supposed to be worried that the third century church set up a parallel festival with the winter solace to try and get pagans to convert to christianity but they pull crap like this ?

  What would happen?

  if i asked the elders if i could see or have any secret files they have on my wife?

  does the headship of the house or marriage trump their kangaroo court or do they think they secret police or something.

  either way, it pisses me off..

  there is a certain elder in my wives hall that has seemed to developed a real interest her.

  first he seemed to feel a need to make sure all her blood cards were signed before she gave birth to our child.. he sends her text messages if she misses a meeting saying how much " we missed you last night ".

  he finally sent her a text wondering where her oct hours were , knowing she had some pretty serious tears from child birth and could hardly even walk, much less do field service ".

  this isnt particularly a jw question but if anyone knows the world of shunning it would be ex-jws.

  i have a friend who about three years ago had an abortion and i havent been too friendly with since that happened.

  i havent said anything or done anything rude to her.

  my wife has a friend at her kh.

  she is 37 and her friend is 88. i know it sounds kind of strange but they are both the wives of ubm so they kind of stick together.

  my wife is very sincere in this friendship and this lady is a nice person.
