Thank's for your comments. If we think that the number twenty-three thousand have been victims of pedophila, think of the 'millions' who are deprived of a normal emotional life, yes, millions!
Forums of this nature are useful in that we have encouraging and helpful contributors to give us hope and the needed emotional support. We can't ignore this ever present problem, we need to start somewhere to get our emotional lives on a positive track.
For an alcoholic to get on the road of recovery he must first admit that he is an alcoholic. There is no shame to say we are emotionally unequipped. Leaning to love ourselves is a must to emotional stability.
How can one love oneself? By not being critical and demanding of ourselves. Forgiving ourselves and not setting high expectations to the point we can't fulfill them. Be reasonable with your goals. Never and I mean never give up.
If you have children hug and kiss them. Make it a daily routine and over a given period of time, you'll see the results. I'm no doctor Phil but I have six grown children and my wife's awesome love and care for them has had a positive impact. They all have goals and they pursue them without any hinderance from my wife and I. We support their endeavors.
Encouragement and tolerance of others produces beneficial results.

Yesterday, my sister-in-law stopped by and spoke to my wife for close to two hours. Yes, it was about pass problems with her husband and the elders. Her story was all about manipulation and deception, it would make for a good movie.
My sister-in-law has had a breakdown (the work of her husband) and is on pills, (how many witnesses are not on pills) anyways, she's an emotional wreck.
Other examples, my oldest sister (JW) who is in her early seventies is another emotionally damaged goods. I have a younger sister (JW) that's also an emotional wreck.
One only has to come to forums of this nature and 'read' the serious emotional damage this organization has done to people. They have deprived and damaged people of a normal emotional life!
When I was writing my golf book back in 1996, I wrote in part, "Golfers who copy or imitate others deprive themselves of their individuality thereby becoming clones of someone else. Clones have no personal identity."
I've met some bright people in this org but emotionally their a wreck. My sister-in-law is one of them.
The damage that pedophiles do to their victims is no different than what this organization has done to its' adherents!
Thanks to all of you for speaking out.

Scriptures that prove WTB&TS Hypocritical
by Golf inok folks chime in.
i'm basing the following scriptural comments from romans 2;21 "...do you, however, the one teaching someone else, not teach yourself?
james 1:27, "the form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of god...to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation..." .

Another scripture. 1 Cor.4:6, "Now, brothers,...learn the rule: 'Do not go beyond the things that are written,"
How is it that they 'added/included' the organization to the baptismal question? To prevent them from being sued?
Any particular scripture/s come to your mind? If so, why not share it.

Witnesses LOVE Christmas Lights!
by gumby ini don't know how publishers in your neck of the woods veiws christmas lights......but all the ones i've been around since being born into this religion........loves to see all the lights.
we even used to get a map in the paper that showed where those lived with huge decorations and go see them.
some entire blocks would get together and do all their yards and we witnesses would drive around to see it all.

My sister use to live in Attleboro Mass., North I think. Wow, the town lights were something to see. "...nothing is defiled in itself; only where a person considers something to be defiled, to him it is defiled." Romans 14:14

dedpeot, yes it would. They claim to be imitators of Christ, didn't Jesus lay down his life for others? These guys lay down the Pharisiac rules! Paul said, "Become imatators of me even as I am of Christ." 1 Cor.11:1
Definition of Pharisiac: 1.'making an outward show of religion or morality without the real spirit 2. thinking of oneself more moral than others."

OK, here's another one. Paul was defending himself before to King Agrippa, Acts chapter 26, in verse 20 he said, "...I went bringing the message that they should repent and turn to God by doing works that befit repentance." This is the scripture that the Elders use to determine whether one is repentant or not, "works that befit repentance."
No where will you find these words spoken to a body of Christians/elder/committee. Paul was talking to a so-called pagan defending his faith, what the hell did King Agrippa know about 'works that befit repentance?' The Org. use's these words spoken to a pagan to determine whether one is deserving of forgivenss or not in a Christian congregation.
Young self-glorified Elders reveal their personal motives when 'they' determine if one is repentant or not! Believe me I know because I experienced it.
If you like to add to this thought, be my guest.

Are YOU a Risk Taker?
by Golf ini am, how about you or do you prefer your comfort zone?
being a risk taker doesn't mean you have to put your life literally on the line i.e., did you ever stand up to someone in authority and give them a piece of your mind?
what are some of the things you did that you considered risk-taking?

Gabriella, allow time to be your friend. Basically we're not risk free. This past week a language teacher passed away after having heart surgery, it was really unexpected. He was doing fine and then, gone!
I'm not asking for dramitic risk taking adventures but what you consider risky. We all don't have the same measure of nerves, hey some people love doing dangerous things like toying with death. Some people are afraid of their own shadow.
My work involves heights. One thing you need to keep in mind about heights is to 'respect' it.
I've know women who have had affairs with men and almost died from contracting a disease.
Not all risks are deadly. Bad breath and body order can be a cause for having no friends.
How about balance?
