That Abbottsford thread made me think of this one:
"You know, you have to pass two different tests just to get your driver's licence, but they'll let any ASSHOLE be a father."
That's from Keanu Reeves' character in the movie "Parenthood".

Story from Abbotsford
by the_classicist inthe people in this story sure sound like jw's, especially the part about birthdays and christmas... it doesn't say in the article though.
i think the judge's comment is quite interesting.

Why the heck are the youngest kids still with the parents? They should ALL be taken away. Reminds me of Keanu Reeves' character's comment in the movie Parenthood:
"You know, you have to pass two different tests, just to get your driver's licence, but they'll let any ASSHOLE be a parent."
Very fitting in this case, but why hasn't Children's Aid protected the younger kids too?

"Sometimes you gotta say, 'What the f*ck.'"
Booger, from Revenge of the Nerds. Incredibly wise words from a silly, but fun movie.

Would Michael Jackson be in all this legal trouble if he stayed a JW?
by booker-t inas you posters know my mom has been a "devout" jw for over 40 years and just won't bend when it comes to the faults of the wts.
i have talked until i was blue in the face for over 10 years since da'd myself in 1993 but just can't crack my mom.
well she made another ridiculous comment to me the other day in her attempts to get me "reinstated" back as a jw.

I think the nature of the organization has had some effect on the way he turned out. I think, essentially, Michael Jackson felt that the organization robbed him of his youth. i think he was forced to lead a very isolated life when he was a kid and I think he was haunted by a lot of demons from his family, etc... a lot of things that happened when he was a JW. From living such a sheltered life to suddenly making millions of dollars in the recording industry, I think such a life-style change was something he couldn't handle.

I agree. And like Sunspot said, his dad was an abusive prick. The two combined made him into an odd fellow. However, I am not condemnig him to being guilty yet either.
He never seems to have matured out of his youth himself, so it's not completely impossible for him to consider the kids "sleep-overs" to be anything other than innocent.
Having said that, you would think that friends or advisors would have let him know that he should not leave himself open to these accusations. With that much money, you know there will be some who will take advantage of him.
As far as what JW's think, like Alana said, they'll find anyway to condemn those that leave, whether good or bad things happen to them after they leave. So, in my not so humble opinion, who gives a rat's ass what the JW's think about it? If they had any ability to be objective about it, they would deserve consideration.

Are ex-jw's or "apostates" addicted to jw-bashing?
by booker-t inthis might seem like a funny question to ask but my mom told me that "apostates" are addicted to jw-bashing and cannot let it go and have a life.
i asked her what she meant by this statement and she told me that all ex-jw's talk about is the wts and jw's and negative things about the jw's.
she said that we get up thinking about jw-bashing and go to sleep thinking about jw-bashing just like a drug addict.

I am sorry to hear about your pain, FF. Although it hurts, it must show your character, to care so deeply.

One,
I was trying to go about saying this in a positive way, indirect way, but you are proving, with your replies, that giving up "bashing" is not so easy as you say. I will make it a little more clear.
You are incessantly BASHING most of the people here, who in most people's opinion are simply expressing their feelings towards an organization that has had a VERY negative effect on them!
If you want to begin to express yourself in a more positive way, such as giving PRACTICAL advice to those who could use it, or showing some COMFORT before you bash, you might get a more open ear.
I, for one, don't really like your broad brushstrokes.
