what was the starngest local needs topic you ever heard???
?
Maybe the reason for all the bathroom talks is that the brothers are diligently following the scripture in Deuteronomy 23:14
Deuteronomy 23:14'For Yahweh your God moves about the camp to protect you and put your enemies at your mercy.
Yahweh must not see anything indecent there or he will desert you.'
i heard some disturbing news and i'm not sure what to do about it.. there was man who was an elder in the pasadena, maryland congregation for many years.
i'll call him "randy pervamini".
there were always whispers going around about him that he was secretly gay.
Silent lambs website has a "pin point a paedophile" page
I just pinpointed him on the Silent Lambs website - Thanks slugga
Kimberlee, I'll be sending you an email. Thanks, for letting me know that you had a file.
I'll go ahead and telephone the police too. I figure it can't hurt.
if you haven't already, please read the thread richie's elders: deaf?
dumb?
if you haven't read it, you won't get the following.. so last wednsday night, after the fine spiritual feast prepared by the governing body and delivered by their "spirit appointed" waiters, i was approached by an one of the brothers who served on my judicial committee.
He then says that he and the elder body are proud of me, and the way with which I handle myself, and how readily I accept counsel
Let's hear for their "Holy- Spirit appointment". (no offense to you - you're great, but they have blinders on)
I didn't realize college was under a "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Ridiculous.
the dubs are freaking out and listing every potential apostate on myspace.
i even got mentioned even though i have never posted or joined a jw group.
bunch of stalkers.
According to his myspace profile he is a Psychotherapist.
That's disturbing. Suppose an ex-JW went to him for counseling - he might tell them to go back to the hall!
"i use my time wisely by not spending it with my worldly friends..." and so you chose to spend it with people who devised rules that shut up their female members (with the exception of elders' wives who are skilled manipulators of men and power), ban moustaches and beards (for men too) and frown on higher education.
wise indeed!.
"we cannot find such joy (construction of new kingdom halls) in the jobs that we do in the world..." never had a fat paycheck waved in your face, have you?.

Have you ever heard of the Law of Proximity? This law says that if two elements should lie next to one another e.g. a bar of gold and a bar of silver, the two elements would mix, rubbing off one into the other
I worked in the chemistry field for 6 years and I never heard this. My husband is a chemical engineer and he says that's rubbish. I even went through all of our chemistry textbooks and there is no mention of this theory. Once again, the JWs are spewing crap.
The speaker establish his "credentials" as chemistry expert early in his talk by explaining how many elements in the periodic table, how many discovered, how many we need to consume to survive.
His "credentials" means nothing. I learned about the periodic table as a 12 year old in the 7th grade. This guy is a tool.
Please give me his name and address so I can write him a nasty letter.

I sent him a massage.
Ha! I didn't even notice that. I wish someone would send me one too.
I liked this little gem:
I did complane to the monitorWhy am I picturing some deranged woman having a conversation about apostates with her computer monitor?

If I was doing a doctoral thesis on social psychology, mind control and 'group think' I would only have to cut and paste from this site to get enough case studies for a complete dissertation!
Good idea! I have an ex-JW friend who is studying psychology and another who plans to write a thesis on the negative effects that the Watchtower has on women. I'll forward this and ask if any of it is useful to them.

Keep in mind that Web Servers are capable of logging the URL of the website that you just came from. So if you ever click on a link to one of these sites from here or any other site they might find objectionable, they will know about it.
I don't think they went that far, I doubt the regular myspace users have access to that information. I'm sure they just saw my MySpace account that says I'm an ex-JW.
I do wonder what the admins at bethel think of all the surfers coming from JWD?
i just read that kate moss has been given more modelling jobs now that she's been a whole month "clean" of using cocaine which is how she kept her body at skin and bones.
i hear lots of women say they'd "love to have a body like hers", when we know the only way she can keep that skinny is by using drugs.
i was told that i was "just jealous" and that "all women would like to be that thin.
I've had a crush on Kate Winslet for years.
gates cash kick-starts $31 bln tb funding drive .
by ben hirschler 1 hour, 40 minutes ago .
davos, switzerland (reuters) - microsoft corp's founder bill gates pledged $900 million to fight tuberculosis on friday, kick-starting a $31 billion funding drive against a disease which kills one person every 15 seconds.
Maybe we should write Bill and see if he'll lend some money to start up a treatment center or a safehouse for recovering or escaping JWs.
