  My point is that this is an extreme case. Most witness children do not have such a terrible upbringing, and even those that do do not resort to the violence shown here.

  And this type of abuse in the name of religion is hardly limited to JWs, nor are they exempt from it as they claim. Point is--they are no better than anyone else.

  being a non-witness, i'm unsure of the official teaching on this.

  The organization, not really.

  Some individual witnesses, yes.

  I think this is more about drug abuse and child abuse and mental illness than it is about religion.

  i just received an email that said mj attended the memorial in solvang last night.

  he attended with his mom and dad and also his son.

  this info was forwarded to me via 2 others but i saw the original email so i think it's probably true.

  Was Jesse Jackson there praying with him?

  i have been a reading these message boards for almost a year and have been thankful for the information i have read.

  i have been dating a man for almost 3 years when i discovered last year he was a jw.

  i have been trying to understand what this was all about - can't even begin to get a handle one how odd it can all be.

  I still think that a lot of these things reflect the locality where you live. The last year I went was dreadful, but it really was a reflection of the cold, unloving cong I attended. Prior to that the memorial was actually somewhat enjoyable for me. More focus on Jesus than any other time of the year. everybody in new clthes, etc. And I had, until I moved to Durant, OK, always attended congrgation that were very warm and friendly. My big disappointment was that as a MS I got to be an attendant or work in parking, but they'd never let me serve the emblems cause my hands shake too bad (a health condition I have no control over). I guess they were afraid I'd spill wine on some one's new outfit.

  I have not been in a couple of years. My mom went (in Durant), she said their attendance was down, but she did have a nice visit with some of the elderly sisters that we were always fond of. Neither of my sisters went. My oldest sister is very anti-witness right now, esp since her Jesus-freak Pentecostal boyfriend says Witnesses are all goin to Hell. My other sister told my mom she'd prolly go, but when I called last her last night to get the latest gossip from our hometown cong, she said she wasn't able to go...the kids had baseball practice and she had to do the one that was most important. We had a good laugh.

  Yes, Jackson was disassocited in the mid 1980s under the old arrangement that allowed for the disassociation of non baptized publishers, which was the equivalent of the disfellowshipping of a baptized witness.
