I remember many years ago a person who was a expert on child growth said when children enter puberty the rush of hormones makes children in many ways mentally ill. In other words their reasoning power is distorted. In fact they now know a human brain does not stop growing until your mid 20's. With that in mind for me this is another reason children should not get baptized in this cult because of the way this cult treats disfellowshiped ones. At a time this young lady needs real help and support from everyone she will forever be hurt and harmed by this cult's action. I am not condoning what she did but kicking her out congregation is not the answer. I am sure the legal dept. from the Wt. had it's hand in it some how or another. Very, very, very SAD.

is the big show on 1914 at Service Meeting evidence of factions in the GB?
by Wasanelder Once insometimes the gb do end runs around each other, as when freddie franz didn't agree with the whole governing body concept and spoke against it at the gilead graduation.
could this video/demonstration at the service meeting tonight on why they believe in 1914 and how to explain it to others be an effort to bolster that belief because there is a challange coming against it by factions within?
i guess we can't really tell but i wouldn't put it past the boneheads running the society.

I feel they are trying to keep the R&F from thinking and talking. Many years ago when I was first appointed a elder I was told many times from CO's and older elders you could not trust the R&F to do the right thing. This is all about keeping them in line not knowing how to answer the question about 1914 out in service. Still Totally ADD

At first my wife was more sure the cult was full of crap for me it took a little longer to come to that conclusion. Now we are always on the same page. For me I could never come here again but my wife loves being on here. What's funny I am the one who post the most where my wife only post once in awhile. Still Totally ADD

My forty years plus of love my wife and I have had. The freedom we have now not being in the cult. The new friends we are making without conditions. I get to teach and work as a master gardener. Finally I get to choose what I want to believe and not believe. Still Totally ADD

A question for my friends in the USA about cowboys.
by punkofnice inas a kid growing up in the uk we used to play 'cowboys and indians' and watch high chaparal and bonanza along with other cowboy films.
later, in the 70's kung fu would be shown with caine going through the 'old west'.
we even had a chocolate bar that was marketed with a 'cowboy' theme...milky bar.. as far as i know the 'wild west' as shown on tvdidn't actually exist.. are there people that believe it did?.

Punkofnice the real cowboys was those who herded cows across the western county to meat markets of their time. It was very hard work, dirty and dangerous. They lived outdoors for long periods of time. There guns was their protection from snakes, wildlife and bad poeple. The shot gun and the six shooter was their weapon of choice. Those who could afford it may had a repeating rifle. Interesting point there was many black men who was cowboys that worked side by side with white men. This was unusual for this time period. Now the cow towns or old western towns had establishments that was set up to get the cowboy to spend their hard earned money. So houses of prostitutions and bars was very popular. By the time the cowboy left for another cow drive they was broke. Most of those old cowboys movies always like to show a good guy vs the bad guy that was true to a point. Alot of the Good Guys of that time would be consider murderers today but since alot of those towns was not part of the US yet law sometimes was according to the towns founding fathers or the sheriff. It was a very hard life for many but many moved there for a new beginning and a chance to own land and make something of themselves. I sure many others know more than I do but this is my take on it. For the native americans their was a common thinking of that time to make them like the white men. My thinking of this country concerning them was "This country was formed on 3 things. (1) Genocide of the native americans, (2) Slavery and (3) Drugs aka tobacco." Hard facts but true. Take Care. Still Totally ADD

Living in FL for 40 years I saw this happen many times. At 82 with his former wife dead because on cancer that may have had a big impact on him. No matter how will you know him none of us really know what the relationship with his former wife was before she got sick then the care it most likely took during her illness. All this has a big effect on a person. So when the younger lady who was in good health came along and showed attention to him, That's all they wrote. I learned at a young age older ones still desire sex and intimacy. This may be why he is like this. Just a thought. Still Totally ADD

My question is are there all of sudden householders asking about 1914 at the door or is this a way for the WT to stop the murmuring among the flock about 1914 and 100 years of nothing happening? All the years I was in I never had anyone ask me about 1914. Even the bible studies never really care about this subject. Just asking. Still Totally ADD

Trained to Exploit Emotionally Vulnerable People?
by dontplaceliterature ini don't post here much anymore, but i am working on a project with a few academics from my area who are in the psychology field.
we are looking for printed evidence in their literature that jehovah's witnesses train their publishers/pioneers to target people who are suceptible to being recruited - i.e.
people who have experienced a loss, or who are emotionally vulnerable.

Don't know where to find this information but I do know through the years it was always talk about how we are looking for people who have lost a love one due to death or down in their luck having hardships in their lifes. Still Totally ADD

I can see it now. 100 years from now you will see poeple with special glasses and head phones on watching GB TV. Just walking aimlessly down the sidewalk, bumping into people, not saying anything but "the GB said this and they said that, I am so happy being controled by the GB, it's not 1914 or 2014 but maybe this 2114, I am so sorry I questioned the GB, I hope they don't kill me" LOL Still Totally ADD
