in a publication called "my book of bible stories" is the story of dinah.
it is implied that she is the start of the downfall of a nation and the corruption of her brothers.
and that she went out to see girls she was not to go and see.. but who does the bible blame and what is the story here?
How about this: The WT bible says that Dina was raped. Now, her father made her marry this guy, after he raped her?! How cruel is that???
Or, she wasn't raped, but willing, married the guy, who had enough heart for her to get himself circumcised at his age, along with all the other men in town. That's love, and than he is slaughtered by the girls brothers. How rude is that???
i just wanted to write this post so i can go home knowing i hit 200 today.
not that it's a big deal or anything...just something to ponder about in my mind.
woah...200...
Congrats!!!!!
Can't wait to see next week episode!

Glad to hear you're enjoying it Mim. I am truly happy for you.

john corrill here from the ex-mormon board.
i've found your forum interesting.
mormons and ex-mormons struggle with many of the same things jw's do.
Hello John! Welcome to the board.

and the grand finally, the cross is evil- 'you would carry around a gun on your neck if your child was shot now would you..?????'
That is ours!!! Do Mormons have the same "no cross" policy???
Just wondering, we don't have too many Mormons on this side of the Atlantic.

i'm not sure how to put this news gently to the community here, but regarding my post yesterday regarding chantelle.. thankyou for all of your kind messages and warmth displayed on your parts.. chantelle was only 16 when disfellowshipped.
only 18 years old with her whole life in front of her.
she took her own life this morning at 0400hrs.. i am so sorry not to have been in a better position to get your letters to her in time.. take care all of you & kindest regards.
I am so very sorry to hear this. I hardly have any words to describe how horrible this is. So very sorry.
My warmest and deepest sypathy to Adele and to you too Mark, for trying to help this poor and wounded soul.

edited, cause the first post no longer applies... .
you have to scroll down a bit.
sorry, but i flubbed it and shari/lilacs fixed it for me.
You're beautiful!
at the risk of being called a "troll" again , i will share just one of the items discussed at the co's and do's emergency meeting.
so as not to be doubted, this is to be covered at most/all of the co's and do's visits over the next 6 months in the uk.
the society is concerned about the level of waste and expense caused by excess wt and awakes being ordered by the brothers and sisters which are then not put into the hands of the public.
I was at my mums the other day. The KM was on the table and so I read it {god knows why, I didn't read the things while I was a dub, lord knows why I read them know...] anyway, the front page had an article about the same subject.
Could it be that they are starting to loose money over it? What a wonderful idea....
i only have a quetion to which i would like a reply.
if being a jw is what we should do to avoid the wrath of god then why did he kill my mum, slowly and painfully.
when she was totally devoted to him?
((((No More))))
I am so sorry for your loss.
There is no logic in assuming the existence of a god, that will allow so much pain inflicted on his creations.
Hugs, lots of them, Viv.
hiya!!
hope you all had a super marvellous weekend just gone, spent some of my time saturday and sunday, just floating quietly on my boat on the quiet and serenely beautiful waters of the helford river's creeks, stunningly beautiful it was, wow!!
came into work this morning, monday, as bright as a button, though straightaway received some bad news about a young lady from a fellow co-worker enabler at self direction community project.
Mark, you have mail.
