  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am cassilines husband.

  i know cassiline has alot of friends that monitor this board so i thought i would post a surgery status on cassiline to let everyone who cares about her know how everything is going.

  first of all, i would like to say thank you to the owner of this board, friends and aquintances of cassinline, for all the help you have provided not olny for her but for others that are out there with problems who seek the assistance from people that have a similar state of understanding about the jw religion.

  Confusion / A Thorny Thought

  by Xandria in

  a thorny thought.

  growing up in the jw religion (if you can call it that) was soo confusing.

  the terror tactics have left scars on my sisters, brother and myself.

  hi xandria! welcome to the board .

  i've never been a witness but i relate to a lot of the issues that the people on this board have dealt with and are still dealing with (lack of trust, fear of certain people, abuse, etc.) and i wanted to give you a hug *hugs* . this will be a good place for you to find people who understand, sympathize and SUPPORT you!
  

  But if we are to have a "relationship" with our heavenly father and know him .. then why can't we ask these questions so we can know him for our selves instead of being spoon fed on what someone wants you to know of him ?

  excellent point!!

  enjoy your stay .

  p.s. i see by your profile pic you are a fan of tool... YAY!

  EVIL OR NAIVE?

  by bay64me in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  during my former days of pioneering, there was a particular gentleman that used to take the magazines regularly.

  on one of our visits to him, he produced a cutting from a national newspaper that had a story of a jw elder that had been found guilty of some sexual assault on minor children.. the "sister" i was with, gave what i imagine would be the usual response, ie.

  comparisons to the catholic church and how they cover it up and move the priests on, whereas jws deal with the matter and disfellowship such a person.. i, on the other hand, said that the story could not possibly be true, believing at that time, that no person that was a shepherd in gods loving organisation could possibly be guilty of such a crime!

  evil or naive? it really depends on the INDIVIDUAL. some JWs (like you in the past) are simply blinded to the real truth and reality! like you said, some don't believe that a person dedicated to god could do something as horrible as molesting a child. that's naivety.

  then there are some who are well aware of these kinds of issues, know they occur (*inside* and outside of the org) but simply shrug it off. i don't think that this is necessarily evil, because some might avoid these issues simply because they are afraid to face the fact that maybe (just maybe) they really aren't part of an organization that is as loving and perfect as they might believe.

  ANYONE who knows of some kind of abuse (or other shitty situation) and hides it or covers it up is evil to me.

  it isn't fair to tag ANY entire group/org/religion/etc. with a bad label.

  Mom - Why do you treat me like the damned!

  by zenpunk in

  2. friends

  not that my mom would ever visit this site - but i have to just vent.

  last night my mom promised she would meet me at home to help me move some furniture.

  she made it seem like it was a tremendous deal and the only reason why she would be by would be because she had something else to do in the neighbourhood.
