so much of the watchtower is written in "code".
so much of the circuit and district overseers comments are spoken in "code".
for example, you are not told directly that you shouldn't read any other publication but the society's, but you are asked, "how could anyone spiritual ever have the time to keep up with their bible-based reading of all the spiritual food that we must take in, and still have time to read "worldly" books?
In the second instance it said that there was no one to come to her aid although she screamed. That implies to me that no one heard her scream. So how is this supposed to justify their rule about screaming out being the determining factor as to the victim doing all they could within their power to resist?
Minimus, your right, this article is digusting! Rediculous reasoning!

hi all, my name is eric, i'm 22 years old i live in kansas, and i am the new guy on the forum.
just looking to meet some people who, like myself, have decided that being one of jehovah's witnesses was not for them.
i stopped going about 1 1/2 years ago and have been feeling quite alone.
Welcome Eric!..You'll meet alot of great people here. This forum has helped us all deal with the trauma of
leaving the WTS. You'll learn alot and alot of what you learn may initially get you angry and hurt.
But like most of us here, we've come to appreciate what real freedom is all about. I look forward to reading
your posts. Enjoy!

i know there are a handful of people that haven't received their gifts yet from our jwd christmas gift exchange........can you please post who you are.
i know that there are some santas that did send out their gifts but haven't seen a post from those that received them yet.
please take a few minutes and post a cyber thank you to let them know that they were received.
Hi Scooter, Just giving you a quick update. While I was in Chat last night my Secret Santa was also there and told me they discovered my gift had not been mailed the second time like they thought, but insured me it would be on it's way shortly. I'm not worried, still excited!
