by AuntConnie in

unproductive kingdom proclaimers won't leave my kingdom hall, how do i rid our hall of these vultures or turkeys?.

"you can't fly like the eagles if you hang out with turkeys".

after visiting your site, i decided to allow one of the spiritual weak individuals into my car group, it was not easy but you have made valid points i find very self condemning.

AuntConnie is either a genius or the Aunti-Christ.

My Husband Said "Victims Of Pedophiles Come Forward Soon, Not Fifteen Or Thirty Years Later!" Right?

by AuntConnie in

my husband had gotten into a fight with a couple of victims of different pedophiles, he said in all his years of elderhood, "men and women who were sexually assualted came forward when they were old enough, they did not wait for decades to report they were abused.

you must have some kind of false memory or you are just trying to bring shame to the congregations.

" what is the truth of this?.

I have a hard time believing anything you say, Aunti, but if you are on the up and up here as you claim to be, you have to be one of the most twisted and despicable people ever to show up on this website. Your lack common sense, compassion for others, and the basic sense of right and wrong that most kindergartners have mastered is astounding. Your vision of the world around you and the people in it is so skewed and distorted it's a wonder you can walk down the street without falling over.

For everyone's sake get some professional help so you can get clear of that mental haze you are lost in. You will be better for it and the world will make more sense to you, but more importantly you'll take appropriate action to ensure that those who truly deserve to be brought to justice will be. Pedephilia is incurable, and those who are guilty of it should be held responsible for their actions regardless of when it happened. No amount of "good" that this particular perpetrator has done for the organization can make up for what he's done - that is not a "get out of free" card he can play, and if you believe it is then you are no better than he is. The ripple effects of his heinous acts will not be blotted out by any "good" he's done for anyone else.

Nice video - I had never heard of him before, but just by viewing it I can see why people liked him.

Why are Witnesses so effective?

by Apognophos in

i'm sure some of you chuckled when you read the topic, or wondered if this was sarcasm, but i'm being serious.

yes, witnesses number less than one in a thousand, but that's still millions of people.

people like you and me!

I've wondered myself why someone would convert as an adult. I had a friend who did this while in his 40s and I just couldn't believe it. We were both raised Catholic, and while I dropped my belief in Catholicism, and eventually Christianity, I never felt a compulsion to find something to replace it. He grew up with a chip on his shoulder toward his mother and even practiced shunning her when he was quite young, years before he encountered JWism. I can't help but feel that getting sanction for shunning from the JWs played into his decision to convert - he used to take great pleasure in telling me about shunning his mom when he was a teenager. Thankfully, he left them after having been an elder for a number of years, but he won't admit that he was in a cult.

i have been putting all my cds onto my new ipod.. i am only half way through this, and my hard disk is almost full, as itunes keeps the audio files on the computer.. every time i plug in my ipod, any tracks i have removed from my hard drive to make room for new music is deleted from the ipod.. i want to keep all the music on the ipod, and get rid of all the cds stored on my hard disk without them being removed form the ipod.. the instructions are so rudimentary i dont know what to do.

i am not prepared to buy yet another computer because of this.. help appreciated.. hb.
