  Abandoned,

  Just an FYI...

  We have a Minneapolis Ex-JW meetup group that meets regularly in the Twin Cities. We meet once a month and have anywhere from 4 or 5 attendees up to a dozen or so some months. You're welcome to come up and join us if you like, pm me for details or just look us up on the Meetup website.

  edited to add: any of the rest of you are welcome too, the more the merrier!!

  JW Children Lie in Custody Cases

  by compound complex in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  direct and cross-examination questions in child custody cases.

  wtb&ts, page 42.

  "be careful that they [jw children being questioned] don't get the impression that they are in a demonstration at the circuit assembly, when they would show that the first things in life are service and going to the kingdom hall.

  Eduardo,

  There is no way you can reconcile this statement:

  Be careful they don't all say that they are going to be pioneers. Plans can be trade, getting married and having children, journalism, and all kinds of other things.

  with the "council" and "suggestions" that the Watchtower has repeatedly printed over the years warning of the "dangers" of pursuing higher education, of wanting to have any kind of career other than pioneering. They have even been known to suggest that young couples seriously consider not having children, because of "where we are in the stream of time."

  Every witness knows that "balanced life" means attending five meetings a week, spending time in field service regularly, and making pioneering the main goal for children after graduating high school.

  Those elders sit in a room and the victim walks in to face them through the only door. It'd be like shooting fish in a barrel.

  So, taking this approach, only two questions are needed:

  How many exits are there?

  Will any of the elders be armed?

  Ask those two questions and I think your problems are solved.

  Michael DA'd himself many years ago, back in the 80's. Actually I think his case is what originated the whole concept of a JW Disassociating himself.

  Interesting that he will be doing a performance of Thriller, since that is the song that got him in such deep do-do back in the day. It was the big controversy. I remember how what a big deal it was for the dubs when the Awake! came out with an article where they "interviewed" him and he apologized for making such a scary video.

  Even the "baby lounge" has an LCD for mothers.

  Depending on local ordinances, this may be a violation. Not that it would matter to those under "Theocratic Law."

  Honesty, how would this be a violation? No Apologies

  Hey MIL

  It must be very depressing for married male JW's whose wives leave the WTS to face up to the fact that they may actually have to work at their marriage. After all, the WTS did all the work to keep the wife in subjection to everyone and everything....him, the elders, the congregation. I guess the only way to deal with it now is to whine and moan and be sarcastic and try to lay a big guilt trip on the wife in the hopes that her good nature and habit of keeping the peace will make her throw all of her personal convictions out the window so she can do whats really important....which is to devote her life to making him happy.

  You must be from some parallel JW universe where this kind of behavior exists. Cause it sure ain't that way here. It was more of the opposite: my ex-wife constantly used the elders to pressure me into being the "ideal" JW hubby.

  The whole wifely subjection thing was a big joke in every congregation I have ever been in. Unless they are complete rednecks, most JWs become embarrassed just uttering that phrase.
