What sister elder said at the book study..........ARRRGH
by Pistoff inhello all; my jaw dropped monday at the bookstudy.at the book study on monday, the only meeting i can stomach anymore, a statement was made that made my blood boil.

" sister elder answered this way: "well, one of the ways is like that abuse case that was filed in the (twin) cities, or wherever, (sic) it turns out it was thrown out because all the charges were false, or whatever.

jws are craziest
by cuddlepie ingot this from wwww.watchtower-observer.org so true is freaky.
however, in his adams versus god, melbourne broadcaster phillip adams said in 1985 that, according to us studies, "jehovah's witnesses are more likely to be admitted to psychiatric hospitals than the general population".
"according to an article in the british journal of psychiatry," he said, "they are three times more likely to be diagnosed as suffering from schizophrenia and four times more likely to be paranoid schizophrenics.

"According to an article in the British Journal of Psychiatry," he said, "they are three times more likely to be diagnosed as suffering from schizophrenia and four times more likely to be paranoid schizophrenics.
"As a writer in the American journal Free Inquiry puts it: 'Either the Jehovah's Witness sect tends to attract an excess of pre-psychotic individuals who may then break down, or else being a Jehovah's Witness is itself a stress that may precipitate psychosis.
"'Possibly both of these factors operate together ...'" -

My sad start to the day.
by Lehaa into all you animal lovers out there.. i awoke this morning to find that my dog had passed away during the night.. he was a golden retriever cross and the baby of the family.
he loved the kids and would lie down so my 2 year old could sit and lie on him.. he dug out of the back yard and got into my gardening stuff.
he ate half a box of snail bait.. i'm feeling really guilty, sould not have left it out.

best evidence youve found to turn someone
by crizlee inwhats the best evidence youve found to make someone fall out of the truth?

At 14 I started dating a 34 yera old paedophile. The elders never told me he was or had done it before. We both got introuble for improper conduct. They had files on him from his previous congregation. They put me on there little TRIAL and asked perverted questions off me. Just me and my dad (elder btw) and 3 perverted old men.
I married that paedophie and he abused me they never said a word. So much for looking after the young ones.

I wondered why I was not at ease being a Witness.
by PinTail ini wondered why i was not at ease being a witness till i learned what a cult is from many sorces, and stopped being so scared from day to day what god will do to me.
i am still scared of what he will do to me from being raised a witness, its weird they did not teach a firey hell, but they put the same kind of fear in me.
everytime some national problem comes along i freek, even when i no longer go to them meetings or read the tower.

Its hard to get the years of being told one thing out of your brain. Im still trying to get over the "satan" thing as ive posted elsewhere. All i can say is research the GOOD about god. For many years i was against god in general. But it wasnt that it was the JW god. Find some real christians and they will share the love with you not the fear and the doom of armageddon should fade. I am not worried about armageddon at all cos i see no basis for it in the bible. Research is seeming to be the key.

1. cats do what they want.. 2. they rarely listen to you.. 3. they're totally unpredictable.. 4. when you want to play, they want to be alone.. 5. when you want to be alone, they want to play.. 6. they expect you to cater to their every whim.. 7. they're moody.. 8. they leave hair everywhere.. .
conclusion: they're tiny women in little fur coats.. .
