to give you some quick details, my ex-wife and her two sisters were repeatedly raped and molested for years by their jw father.
we went to the elders, and as you probably know, nothing ever really happened to him, all he got was privately reproved.
well,...fast forward,, i remarried and have a wonderfull wife who is also an ex-jw.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the bible was one of the few books many of the refugees had among their possessions.
on friday, several jehovahs witnesses walked the floor of the astrodome, where thousands of cots were set up, to offer their services.
what "services"... buncha weenies!
"Their services" means peddling their literature and a Bible study, of course.

i'm watching the u.s. open tennis and the williams sisters are about to play each other.
then comes the commercial.
serena, in a simple plea, asking the viewers to make their contribution to the american red cross toward the katrina tragedy.. good for you, serena.
Well done Serena!!!
The Red Cross does a terrific job!!!

this is what their front page now shows either they are upgrading the site or their getting heat and going down.
missing persons search
until we hear otherwise, we are directing those looking for missing loved ones to the red cross missing persons registry shown below.
The Red Cross and the Salvation Army did an excellent job last year in my area during Charlie. Therefore, I'll make my donations to both of those organizations.
They helped EVERYONE, not just their own such as JWs do.

at the meeting today, me and my family were sitting in the back.
i've been heavily emotional lately because of the katrina disaster and my temper and sadness and all emotions have just been on a rise lately.
well my dad was noticing that i was frowning so my father got sort of angry with me and demanded that i stop.
Ah, the JW talk/thinking for every little concern anyone in the whole universe has. Ah, such memories of all of my JW relatives! Ahhhhhhh, so refreshing!!!
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!
This is why lately I've stopped bringing any significant subject to them. I'm just polite, friendly and there if needed. Nothing more.
Take care of your well being mentally.

i mean there seem to be several fairly well rooted sub-groups operating within the ranks of the witnesses now.
many under the continuing premise that it is the 'truth'.
i know of a couple.
The WBTS has had many a disappointment due to predictions fallout, doctrinal changes, etc., and still hasn't collapsed.
It will never collapse. It will just continue to evolve and develop other tactics.
DY
i really feel for them!
please do not be an idiot and call any of the numbers!
if you know of someone displaced by the hurricane, they should call the rooming hq: .
I won't be calling any WBTS #.
My $$$ goes to the Red Cross or the Salvation Army. Those organizations help EVERYONE, not just JW in 'good standing'.
DY
Which 'soft voice'? I've never had a 'soft voice'!

i have just talked with the wtbts service department at 718-560-5000.. you can contribute for hurricane katrina relief efforts through your local kingdom hall and put your donation in the contribution box marked for the world wide work.
you may also send donations directly to the branch office... to the brooklyn address.
donations should be marked for the world wide work and not specificically reserved for relief efforts.
I won't be making any donations, although my husband more than will make up for me not giving. He's very generous $$$ wise, plus he donates a lot of his time and skills on a regular basis.
I don't agree with their stance of only helping their own, and not even all of their own at that.
The ones well connected, or the ones that are considered 'pillars' in the congregation are the ones that benefit the most.
All help given has to be approved by the 'service committee', so those that aren't in good standing will probably get what's left after everybody else in 'good standing' has been helped.
My fact is part of those relief committees and he tells me that 'inactive' ones, the trouble makers labeled 'spiritually weak' ones, are left for last.
Nope, I don't be donating a penny to the WBTS.

ok, all you "bleedin' hearts" get ready to flame me..... i have been watching the developments in the devastated areas like everyone else, and something has begun to strike me.
there seems to be tens of thousands of people who are just sitting around waiting for help to miraculously drop out of the sky, and the longer they sit idle, the madder they get that the government hasn't swooped in and immediately solved all their problems.
i have a few questions about this mindset:.
All of these people. Every single one of them. Starting from the upper government echelon on down to the poorest citizen. NONE OF THEM HAD A PLAN!!!
They should've!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
