What one sentence could you say to a JW that would stick with them?
by AlmostAtheist inyou've probably heard sentences that stuck with you.
quotes, one-liners.
you hear them and they make so much sense or touch you so personally at the time that they become part of you.

Frannie-
Interesting article...
While there were blanket statements in the article, the statements were made by a black man who has strong opinions about black leadership and social structure. Shouldn't he have the right to speak in strong terms? Others on the opposite end of the political/social spectrum certainly have!

The reason I arrived, and why I'm still here...
by OldSoul inthanks to lilycurly, i don't think i will be able to even nominally remain a witness for much longer.
the whole "fading" thing goes against the grain anyway.. i arrived here, as my first venture into ex-jw land, as a lurker.
within a few hours, i spotted two people i knew whoto my surprisehad not yet become ex-ex-jws but were still posting here.

Read Marci Hamilton's email about Philadelphia Church Scandal
by AndersonsInfo insanity will prevail when we get the people of pennsylvania (and every other state) to back the reforms needed to protect children.
i was a special asst district attorney in the phila grand jury investigation, and i can tell you it was extraordinarily frustrating that the law posed nothing but roadblocks.
there are serious insufficiencies in the laws that protect children, and unless citizens demand changes in the law, as the report suggests, we'll have more of the same.

Husbands! Smack your wife across the mouth!
by PopeOfEruke ingreat advice received from a close jw relative who we visited last week.
she said that husbands are the head of the family, and if the wife doesn't support him in serving jehovah then he should give her a good smack across the mouth, thats what she deserves.
if only adam had given eve a good smack across the mouth when she proposed eating the fruit, we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now!

In the course of investigations related to JW abuse litigation, i spoke with SCORES of women who were married to repeat offenders who 'confessed' to elders; the wives were NEVER told, even when they had children in the house the same age/sex as the kids who were victimized. Many of the perps were physically abusive to keep wife in line and keep her mouth shut.If the powers that be would fail to protect other kids from sexual abuse at the hands of repeat offenders, why would they care if wife gets slapped around a bit?

Updates on Hurricane Rita's progress, etc.
by Frannie Banannie ini decided to start a new thread on this topicokay, yall.
rita is packin' 170 mph winds with gusts, but has taken a slightly eastward turn, so we'll be on the west side of the eye, which means we won't be getting the worst of it.
but now they're calling for mandatory evacuation of beaumont and jefferson county, where crabby pants is, and they're gonna be getting the worst side of it there, along with bunches of tornadoes.
