i'm pretty sure i have ptsd because of this cult.
i now experience headaches pretty much daily and find myself poping excedrin migraine pills 3-4 a day.
also i'm drinking alcohol a bit to take the edge off.
If you want to start to understand why we all feel so messed up, take a look here:

*disclaimer: these are just jokes!
mary is having a really crappy time playing the cards life has dealt her right now and that is no joke.
but since we know how fond she is of jokes, maybe we can cheer her up.*.
Warning - Blonde joke ahead
My favourite joke (it may be from this forum)
A blonde driver is pulled over for speeding, by a blonde policewoman, and is asked for her driver's license.
The driver begins rummaging through her purse, and asks what the license looks like.
The policewoman says that it is small, rectangular, and has the driver's picture on it.
The driver finds a small mirror in her purse, looks at it, says: "Oh, this is it," and hands it to the officer.
The policewoman looks at the mirror, and says: "Oh, I didn't realize that you were a cop, too. You can go."

Seriously, Wifi, shouldn't that be in the pre-teen male humour section.

does anyone have a link or pdf copy of this?
i have a disfellowshipped friend who shares custody of her daughter with her witness ex-husband.
she is starting to have a lot of issues with the arrangement - her ex-husband and extended family (all witnesses) are constantly undermining her, bullying her daughter into changing her mind about certain decisions that they had already made together.
Which country is your friend in?
Be prepared for the biggest pack of lies to be headed your friend's way.
Also, have your friend read this Canadian case:
perp declared dangerous offender.

dangerous offender at kingdom hall (imagine if the 13-year-old were going door-to-door with another child?).
Perp Declared Dangerous Offender
Dangerous Offender at Kingdom Hall (Imagine if the 13-year-old were going door-to-door with another child?)
December 19, 2011- the appellant received 60 days in custody for breach of his s. 810.1 recognizance after meeting with an adult Jehovah’s Witness and a 13 year old boy at the appellant’s apartment as well as subsequently having contact with children at a meeting at the local Kingdom Hall. There, he was seen paying particular attention to children over the course of two hours.

This post is one of the best that I've seen:

Most bible Stories could be played out in the same manner.
for the many years i was mentally " in " the congregation, i equated the organisation as interchangeable with the persona of jehovah, in effect whatever the organisation said or thought, that was what jehovah thought and that was what jehovah said.... it was that simple.
so when i found out the ttatt and the cynical moves of the organisation over the years,including 1975 , the donation arrangements, the united nations, etc i was devastated and thought " where's jehovah in all of this?".
the god who i'd poured my heart out to on many occasions and who i thought was silently listening and hearing my pleas ..... was not there , .
