Additionally, kids are fed lots of "information" to make the world outside the WTS look evil and scary. Deters them from leaving later. Getting them to think of sex as dirty helps keep the kids from having sex of any kind when they get older... because they leave after that - a lot.

Someone is hurting

i am writing this thread because i hope it fosters some positive communication although i may end up being deleted for it.. to start with a discliamer: i am no fan of stinkypantz posts - they just aren't that interesting to me.. that being said i now see sp was deleted.

my first reaction to that was anger.

sp posted stuff about being close to a nervous breakdown, wishing she could just "disappear" etc....she is obviously someone in pain right now.. we have been constantly censured about how this is a place of healing and we need to keep it that way for people who need healing, support and comfort.. so i only hope sp has been "temporarily suspended" (not deleted) for her own good and no because she pissed off some moderator.

Well-said, Mike.

just wondering if anyone can help, so heres a little insight into the situation.. we've been friens for ages but she always told me we could be nothing more she said "theres stuff you dont know about me & you wouldnt understand" but one night i kinda hinted that i knew and she fessed up not only bout being a jw but also bout how she felt only thing is she says its not gonna work, but she wants it to work she wants me to convert and i want her to leave the orgainization.

her mothers been a witness for ten years but her father is not.

also she hasnt paid much attention to it either till a few months ago and shes starting to get into it now.

This is a serious topic that deserves sincere advice - but after reading Gary's post, the phrase "bank it and spank it" won't leave my mind. Must be the demons...

dear friends: my daughter has a college research paper she has to do on feminism.

how it started in the 1960's to how it has changed today.

can anyone help us find out some facts about this?

Phantom Stranger

Hey, Bradley, as long as they get paid less for the same job (and statistics show that they do get paid less than men) you might have trouble selling that one.

you know that new labor law?

the one that allows businesses to not pay overtime?

Phantom Stranger

Actually, "comp time" is illegal in most states. Check it out.

To clarify, I was not saying that SP had used me as a punching bag - I was simply responding to the previous post, not referring to SP specifically. Sorry for being vague.

I am happy to provide support and understanding, but I do not visit this board to be a punching bag for someone during their healing process. If they want to experiment with pushing their former boundaries in how they communicate with others, that's great - but who am I to rip them off from the opportunity to deal with the results?
