  i stumbled upon this website and feel an overwhelming desire to dance.

  i was playing monopoly the other night and reminiscing on the different editions (i have the british, london one) - have played the american one, and various continental, and there are various ''movie'' editions -well, last night as i was playing, i was thinking how much fun a jw one would be....need a bit of input for this... eg, started to snigger when i picked up the ''it's your birthday.....'' i suggest ''it's your birthday, collect a shunning from each player''.

  then there's the free parking , err....''free bible study''?

  So - it's all about hidden numbers and messages, I see :-

  Please put away all forms of hatred

  ....the word ''HATRED'' being an anagram of ''THREAD'' must mean all who post are sinners.

  just got off the phone with the judicial committee, the same one that i blew off last sunday.

  i wasn't even sure they'd call, but come to think of it, i think that's just what they're supposed to do if i don't show up.

  they called as a conference call (none of them has been willing to talk to me on the phone alone!

  Am not up to speed with the whole story - I understand you took the rap for the Christmas thing - what a hero :) SO now you're d'fed and FreedomFrog isn't, PLEASE don't let this be an issue (I don't know what your situation is, ot how the Elders may or may not try and make it one between you both).

  Much Love and Thoughts.

  JW's say they don't have a clergy class, whay do you think?..

  by Hecklerboy in

  i remember back 8 years ago when i left the organization the elders were being called "jehovah's special appointed ones".

  i thought to myself that this was starting to become a clergy class.

  i mean if that doesn't set you about the rest of the flock, i don't know what does.

  Blimey UncleBruce - That's a list and a half. I don't remember ANYTHING in the Scriptures about a hierarchy - I must have missed a few Watchtowers.

  I was Molested by my CO grandfather

  by AshtonCA in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i was molested by my grandfather from the age of 3 to 7. he was also molesting his daughter (my aunt) and maybe others.

  it was covered over and my entire family was actually shunned when we went to the elders when i was 18. i did not tell anyone about it until then because my grandfather had me believing our relationship was special and it was our little secret.. when confronted, he of course denied it.

  my mother even spoke up of a time when he had tried to molest her when she was 8 months pregnant with one of my brothers.

  You said he IS a JW kay - still???? I think young mothers in the Congregation ought to be made aware of who these people are - then let's see if they trust their 'brothers' or their own instincts.
