Typical brain dead Jw. "Not my problem." They think if they stick their hear further in the sand it will go away. We see it in our family, as most here do. So frustrating!

39Child Abuse - "I don't care. I haven't got any children".
by cofty inearlier this week i bumped into a couple of jws who i recognised from the cult cart.
a few months ago i had a long conversation with him one of them and found him to be quite friendly.
he is new to the area in the years since i left.. this time he was very defensive and said he wasn't allowed to talk to me.

Great post Barbara. Thank you . I just listened to it and it is informative but sad to hear of all the lives affected by child abuse. Just one of the many reasons why we are no longer part of the JW's. We appreciate all of your hard work! -

It just goes to show how far gone these ones are. It truly is shocking but we are finding that not too much shocks us anymore. -

You are NOT alone. I felt the same way when I first left. When you read some of the posts on here it makes you realize that it's NOT you. Others have been treated as bad as you have. The love from the JW's is conditional (you do the JW tasks and we will love you). You have to do what is best for you.
My mate and I are both born ins and have been fading for the past 3 years.
How do you think your Mom would handle the news? Do you still live at home and financially rely on her? You name sounds like you are young.
Keep reading, learning and most importantly thinking.

Governing Body Obesity
by Calebs Airplane innot sure if this subject has been covered recently but i thought i'd make this observation anyway.... i remember when the word "gluttony" was a frequently mentioned sin in public talks, in the wt publications, in convention talks, etc.. in fact, in the 80's and 90's it wasn't unusual to hear the words "gluttony" and "disfellowship" mentioned in the same sentence.
i haven't been to a meeting in over 5 years, so i'm not sure if they still harp on the subject of gluttony or other excesses.
but i can't help but notice how much heavier the gb 2.0 has become compared to previous regimes.

I agree with blondie.
I don't think anyone here is being disrespectful to overweight people. I could stand to loose 30lbs myself.
I think what most here are trying to convey is that you can't make generalizations towards people.
i.e. Everyone that wears tight pants is not gay (remember the Beetles?)
Sisters who wear spandex (or Spanx) as Anthony Morris stated in his Zone talk are not sluts.
Brothers who are 23 and not yet a MS are not good mates. Really? I have met some of the most wonderful men who are past 23 and not a MS. I am married to one. The best mate EVER!
I think if the GB, Elders, CO's or even the Rank in file, for that matter, are gonna dish it out you had better be able to take it.
Just sayin.

Congrats on the little new one. Enjoy every second of that sweet baby! Keep him/her away from this destructive cult. If your hubby's family does not want to associate with you, it is THEIR loss. They will miss out on that sweet child.
