I hate those people so. Ugh that I feel the beating should have been even more severe. Kill all child molesters!!!

the comments and facial expressions of judge peter mcclellan, the chair of the royal commission and angus stewart, though subdued, clearly showed their disbelief and disgust at the lack of compassion and empathy by the org and the elders and gb jackson when questioned.. this link, is a sobering look at the emotions people should feel at the abuse of their children.

i have not been on the board in a long time, and as i started reading some of the posts, i could not believe how many new faces or names have appeared on this site.
it is certainly alot more than i could count.
it builds more confidence in me, that the other have of my immediate family will open their eyes.
And there are countless such as myself, out mentally a long time ago, JWINO.

last week i was invited by a sister to go in the field ministry with her.
i did, because she is one of the 2 people who contacted me since i am not attending the meetings.
and i thought it would be a good opportunity to tell her about some of the things i researched.
In this wonderful age of information, people know the basics on JWs, and some misinformation as well thanks to the disgruntled. However, many just are polite and take the material to just get them out of their hair. No harm done.

anyone in the usa following this morning's shooting "on-air" live tv will know what i'm talking about.
bryce williams (not real name, but on-air name) shot and killed 2 people on live television this morning in roanoke, va. he was wearing a go-pro camera, and uploaded his first-person video onto his social media accounts.
i've seen his twitter feed (before it was taken down), and not very far down he mentions being raised a jw.
Well, now that many details are coming out about this individual, it is absolutely clear why he did not remain a JW. He was obviously a very sick in so many ways.

hope my technical skills on my tablet works.
here goes......dr. laura slessinger is a well-known conservative talk show host.
she has expressed very negative beliefs about homosexuality.
This is brilliant!!!
Thanks.

i popped into the supermarket for a few things after work today and found myself walking up an aisle alongside a couple who used to be in my tuesday group.
i see them reasonably often and always say hello much to their obvious annoyance.
i noticed that ian was sporting a shaggy beard.
Neither displayed proper JW behavior. Oh, how peaceful it would be if we put into practice what taught at the KH"

new here but looking forward to joining in some of the discussions with you all.. a small bit about me: i'm shane.
was raised as a jw in the uk by my mum (single parent family) from about 2 years of age.
got baptised at 15 for all the wrong reasons.
Welcome!

so i had a discussion with my mother about this, and she claims that because of this that: "we are surely living in the last days right now" while i must admit myself that the situation seem chaotic, i don't want to believe that it is the last days.
so question is, how do i face an opinion like that?
Thanks the great USA for destabilizing all those countries, directly or indirectly.

early this morning, i was stopped at a service station dealing with a mechanical issue with my motorcycle.
i was approached by 2 young men who pro-offered some of your reading material.
i deeply regret that i was very unkind; in actual fact, i was quite mean in my response to them.
I encounter a few meanies here and there in the territory, but it means nothing to me....ever. The average JW knows that for the most part the message is not well received. So, don't sweat it.
Try to be kinder to people in general no matter what their message when approached nicely.

He became a self fulfilling prophesy, like so many others: Leave the org and become just another tool of Satan.
What a different outcome if he only remained a JW and put into practice what the Bible teaches us all about love and morality.
All of a sudden, wasting time preaching door to door, giving Bible studies, attending meetings or other JW activities seem like a better alternative than what this nut job did.
Although he may have been raised a JW, he did not remain a JW because he was not their kind, as his actions now clearly show it.
