  Another lawsuit... this one in Oregon.

  by Elsewhere in

  2. friends

  complaint: negligence, breach of confidential relationship, intentional infliction of severe emotional distress.

  once again the elders appointed a convicted and confessed child molester to a position of responsibility as an officer and ministerial servant of the congregation.

  this time the accused name is jerry anderson crabb of the lancaster congregation of jehovah's witnesses - 4795 macleay road se, salem, or 97301. sadly, as one would expect, he has been accused of sexually abusing a child on multiple occasions.

  Gays Not OK Pedos OK - WTF???

  by hamsterbait in

  2. friends

  it has just occurred to me that a gay man is very unlikely to be appointed to anything above holding the lollipops in front of peoples' mouths at the meetings.

  even tho he gave up the gay lifestyle to be a miserable borger.. yet pedos are being appointed, and the wtbcs chooses not to know about their past.. why is this?.

  is a gay more obvious?.

  he's 7 weeks old, he's a chocolate lab and i named him tony.

  his eye isn't messed up it just looks that way because i was trying to get his face to look forward while i pushed the button all at once.

  he kept me up all night last night crying, but hopefully just like with my beagle he will outgrow that.

  Here's Molly, my Golden/Lab, she will be 2 in August. And, the new addition to the family, BlackJack. I've had BJ a few weeks now, got him at 3 months old. He's about 10 pounds of firecracker in a 2 pound body. I carried in the pet carrier, opened it up and stepped back. Molly was sniffing around to see what was happening. BJ jumped out of the box, sauntered over to Molly, and slapped her calmly across the face, then turned his back on her and strutted away. As if to say, "The new boss is here and don't you forget it."

  As you can see in the picture they are now fast friends and sleep all curled around each other. Molly is slowly re-establishing her alpha role, or at least BJ is letting her think that she is.

  YES! Sounds like you were able to get away to a place of sanctuary, lol! CBD glad to hear you are getting a respite at Purps. I did send Purps my phone number in a pvt, don't know if she got that or not, feel free to use it any time! Can't wait to hear your story, from another one with a crazy, fanatical mom, I know its hard to imagine the drama they can come up with, even worse to deal with it. My mom tells my family all the time that I'm demonized. Gladly I'm hundreds of miles away from her and can laugh at it all. I think if we were forced by circomustances to live together one of us wouldn't make it.

  we finally made the decision last night... though we will miss our ex's in texas... we are headed to washington.. for those who are not familiar with washington, richland is not green and wet like the seattle area, but more like an arid dessert.

  the are does have some of the best school averages in the country.. we'll be there next month.

  any kingdom halls there?.

  Bryan,
  I lived there for 23 years, both in Richland, West Richland, and Kennewick. The one thing that did bug me was the wind blowing the tumbleweeds and dirt around. You'll get that a lot in the spring especially. I grew up where it is green, mountainous, and mild in the summer, so when I moved over to the west side of the state and then on to Oregon I found I preferred it. Yes there are too many people on the west side, but I personally preferred it to the more conservative east side of the state.

  I only went to the KH in Kennewick, though, so I don't have anything to tell you about KHs in Richland, I was trying to avoid them by that point.

  Having said that, my best friend of about 40 years lives in Richland. If you guys decided to have an eastern WA get-together let me know, hell I might even drive over there for that.

  I was there. We stayed with a family in the Watts district. We are white. I remember getting gas one day on the way in to the convention and everyone staring at us. I had no idea that within a short period of time that area would erupt into massive riots. I remember the rainy day too, I remember we all pulled out plastic and draped ourselves. I remember poking holes in the plastic with my fingers because I was so bored. But hell, I was only 6 at the time.
