Guilt trip
by Jrjw indid anyone have other jws try to guilt trip them when they were leaving or if you were making a decision which jws felt was wrong but wasn't unscriptural?
i'm getting people guilt tripping me to eventually get back with my emotionally, spiritually and mentally abusive husband who i'm separated from.
i feel sick at the thought of getting back together and putting myself through that nightmare again but i'm being told its what jehovah wants coz he doesn't want families to be apart.

Manmade rules
by Jrjw ini was talking to someone a few years ago and he said in his congregation they have a rail of white shirts prepared in the cloakroom for if a speaker doesn't have a white shirt on.
it was a rule in their hall that all brothers in the platform must wear white shirts when going talks and if the speaker won't comply when asked to change into the shirt they provide an elder in the congregation will do the talk instead.
i have never known any other halls do it so it must be a rule the elders have made up without gb input.

Brotherly love in action..
by Jrjw ini'm so upset and angry at the same time.
i move in less than 2 weeks and was supposed to be getting help off "brothers" to move and one of them was driving the van and now the elders have had a meeting and told the brothers they can't help coz i'm separated from my (abusive) jw husband and with moving it puts the chances of reconciliation (of which there was zero chance) even further away.
where are these stupid rules that they come up with.

If The Governing Body Gave Running The Corporation Over To AI?
by Brokeback Watchtower inwhat if the gb in desperation gave over their position as god(guardians of doctrine) and allowed ai to do a complete make over of policies to bring back profitability and avoid bankruptcy.. what kind of changes do you think artificial intelligence with some very good deep mind learning algorithm would make to policies to shield the corporation from further lawsuit in the future.
what type of policies would it develop in short order to save this corporation from going belly up?
what type of investments and divestments would it recommend in order to bring it back to financial solvency.. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/google-ai-robot-answers-the-meaning-of-life-and-tells-humans-how-to-be-good-10353668.html.

Do you have JW-related dreams (nightmares)?
by compound complex ingreetings, dreamers:.
i guess it's never going away: daytime carryovers of jw-related stuff seeping into my dreams.. the majority of these dreams take place at conventions but with really weird trappings.
last night i dreamed i arrived at the site with no books, no lunch, nothing but my car keys.
