Just freaking amazing. This is amazing to see conviction. I love that the orders were forced to testify. Just amazing. "Dickerson ordered them to testify after finding the Jehovah's Witnesses' judicial committee system is not designed to keep information confidential. ". Wow!

Satan is certainly a wiley devil! He came in the guise of Square Dancing!
by Lady Zombie inrecently a few threads have remarked upon how restrictive the jws have become in the last decade or so in terms of activities and the amount of freedom alloted to individuals.. well, i can ballpark estimate when it started in my area.
it was the mid to late 80's.
throughout most of the 80's, my congregation frequently had potlucks and days at the park when all the local congregations would gather for fellowship.. there was a lot of laughs, lots of grilling, and easy interactions with other jws.

That sounds sooo much like a KH I went to in NM in the mid 70's. Square dancing was stopped. That and bible character masquerade dress up type parties. Actually we had a lot of fun until the powers that be put the axe on it all.

Djk. So sorry bout what you are dealing with. Big bummer. You will get better right? I hope so.
Flipper. I am sad to hear that about your daughters. I thought if she were out of the borg, I would not lose her. But I feel defeated now. Then top it all off with a few people walked out just when I need them most.
Keeping it upbeat tho. Many have walked in. Revolving door of emotions. Good, Bad, Good, Bad. Lets call it even on good since I am teary eyed. Cant seem to get it in my mind that I can handle more. Just damn beat today. I made myself go through the motions of everything I was going to do even after she left. It just was all later than I had planned. So I get in just now, and I made my list complete. Time to man up and keep it solid in all areas.

FHN, I really wish with what you are going through that I were closer so that I could truly be a friend. I hate that this monitor sometimes keeps me from doing things like hugging you. You seem to need one. I feel for you sweetie. It is even harder when the ones you love leave when you are down. I truly am sorry for your loss and losses.
Love Decki

Flipper. Good and excellent and the worst ever all rolled into one.
Work is coming in in all three fields that I have been headed towards. That is excellent. I feel more at peace than I have for the past years. That is good and excellent. I love myself again and love what I am doing with my world. Could not ask for more.
AND My daughter ran away last week. Came back Tuesday. Ran away again today. That is bad. I am tired. Trying to accept the good and not sweat the bad, but it is such a mixed dish. So. For the 6th time this year. The police came and talked. Took information. Went to where I thought she might be and there stood two parents like me....with their daughter missing also. I had heard they were so this and that. Not at all. Two parents freaking concerned as hell and well not a damn thing going on in thier home that I could see. And I was looking pretty hard. Same thing.
Child went from public to home school, to working to lost her job. To running and well it was the same thing all over again. To one parent changing jobs I believe to be there always to everything is fine...and then she is gone.
I felt like I was staring into a mirror. But with two parents.
It really sucked.

sometimes this place makes me sick...
by theinfamousone init has been quite some time since i have posted on this glorious discussion group... it has been even longer since i have started any discussions myself.. and as somber (or possibly upsetting), my title or even thesis may seem, there is reason and respect coming behind it.... i do love the majority of the people who post here... though your faces and names may have changed since i started here, your kind words, sincere support and listening ears have always been very much appreciated... you have helped me through the hardest times of my life... my feelings of inadequacy (spl?
) and loneliness have often been overshadowed by your caring and love... so i must start by thanking you..... now, that being said; sometimes when i come online and read the dribble that some of you protray as discussion, i am almost sickened... right now my stomach is in knots because of the recent description of one's fecal matter i was subject to read... and yes, i know i could have just clicked off of it, but the title seemed appealing, the subject matter on the other hand was not.... but even this is not enough to turn me off of this site.... the other thing that leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth, is the bull **** that i once believed... the terrible attitude and delusion of grandeur i once shared with the people of this terrible organization.... the pain i must have helped to instill in people who truly did not deserve it... the hatred i felt inside when someone decided to disassociate themselves, or the anger i felt towards the people that were disfellowshipped.
the letters i wrote to my friends, who had left... the families that were falling apart around me, as my own was able to hold some semblance of happiness and stability (whether feigned or not)... all the pain and torture this borg has put me through...has put so many others through... this has left me reeling.... reading about it every day no longer instills anger in me, as it used to... now, it sickens me... sickens me to believe i once felt this way, sickens me that so many others still condemn others for thinking... sickens me to realize that there are other 15 year olds out there being beaten for smiling... sickens me to think that there is not much i can do to help them... except maybe hope that one day they will find this website, or find some friend, or find me, and we can all work together to help this person out..... yes, i needed to rant... the true nature of this message though is to say thank you to all of you for making me realize how sick the witnesses are... how morally blind they are... and how much pain they instill... thank you for helping me out when i needed the help most... thanks for being my family... and i just hope i can help you all and anyone else that needs it as much as you helped me... i hope one day we all feel sickened at the damage the witnesses caused and continue to cause.

HI CREEPY!! I have an off topic ADD thing to add in. Did you corn row your hair?
And on another thought, happy to see you back! Sorry you are down. Wish you were closer, you would be having a lot of fun now and we all would step away from the board to visit.
Yes some topics bite and others leave you so upset that people have come so far to be so cold. But yet others enlightened us. Any which way you look at it, as with any part of life, take the good. Pass on the ugly. Some don't know how to how to love the way we need them to and that is the key. Take what fills up your cup and leave the rest.
Happy to see you again!

Flipper~ I so think that she will love him for all the knowledge you impart! I gave my daughter one copy of it designed for women a few years back. It is not filled with lascivious stuff that one might think. Actually had a lot a girl needs for her body and care.
I kept the grown up one for myself. lol
Actually I have been an admirer of books with old photography and silly kinked out stuff since a young age. I noticed Hortensia said her mom let her check out all the books she wanted and did not check what they were. Mine did not either. HEHE! I swear photo books and some novels. WOW!
Maybe he should get her Kama Sutra for women! A lifelong 'love' may be formed.

Anyone?
