  Jackson'd Case, Potential Door To Open Pedophilia Stories

  by Golf in

  the mj case is predicted to last 6 months.

  this time frame can have a very crucial impact on the jw org.

  and their mishandling the pedophile problem.

  I think in the court case itself there will be little talk of his upbringing. ?Had a weird childhood? isn't the sort of thing a defence lawyer wants to be blurting out in a child abuse case and I don't think the prosecution will bring it up as it will have very little relevance to their case being at best superstition.

  The media on the other hand may well pick up on JW paedophile cases and tie them into the case. If Jackson is found guilty then we can expect months maybe years of speculation in which his childhood and the JWs will predominantly feature.

  A cash speculation on the outcome of 6 canines pursuing a mechanical lure in the form of a hare.

  Leading double life

  by JustTickledPink in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i ran into a young jw i hadn't seen in probably 12 years, anyways, she was the presiding overseer's daughter, perfect little jw... she's now 25 yoa, she is still an active witness and in fact a sympathizer to their crap but dressed in a low cut top, belly showing, carrying a beer, trolling for guys out a hot spot on a friday night with a "worldly" friend.. she talked to me for 5 mins and told me she had been df'd for a year but how horrible it was, she is reinstated and doing good..... but everything about her looks said she wasn't a good little jw.. i think more and more hypocrites are being raised in the organization.

  i wouldn't be able to stand leading a double life, i would much rather be honest and not hiding who and what i am... but there are more young jws, including ones i would never suspect, that are jws by day, and regular people at night.

  i think they are falling into the "sunday morning christians" mentality and carrying tons of guilt around with them.. i just wish they would wake up.

  I'm with Big Dog on this. Sometimes you've got to rip the plaster off. Might not be best for everyone or possible but are you lying to your family, you friends or yourself? Even though my first few years out of the org where tough, I wasn't living a lie.

  Robbed of family for me wasn't frightening, it was lonely but not frightening. It was right for me to break away and the reaction of others was something I had to live with.

  As for frightening

  I didn't get to say hi in you last and most successful post so hello. For the point of discussion (never baptised, never D'fed on DAed) the answer to you point

  What can we expect the organization is made up of humans. Imperfect ones at that.

  I'd expect corruption. lies and backtracking. Nothing more, nothing less.

  What I'd expect from an organisation that is directed by the holy spirit is truth, open accountability and an unshakable unchanging doctrine.

  Nothing more, nothing less.

  Blood Transfusions Kill Patients, Say Doctors

  blood transfusions kill patients, say doctors .

  (picture: your health daily logo) february 11 1999

  london (nyt syndicate) -- blood transfusions given routinely to tens of thousands of critically ill patients may be killing them, doctors have found.

  So if blood transfusions can in some circumstances be harmful this supports the JW's stance on blood.

  Medical technology is still in its infancy and it is only with the advancement of better diagnostic tools that procedures are better understood and improved.

  If as I believe it will a procedure such as a blood transfusion becomes risk free then this invalidates its support of the JW argument.

  They will use this in an argument as long as it is useful to them then discard it when it become contrary to their beliefs.

  Saving my Neice and Nefew!

  i have never used one of these sites before but i am very scared and need help.

  i will tell you my story from the beginning.... three years ago my 29 year old brother was killed in a farming accident.

  he left behind his wife of 9 years, a 7 year old son, a 4 year old daughter, three sisters and my parents.

  You seem to have things well in hand Rig Pig. It only takes a few misplaced words for an argument to start, a family to split and the JW's to tell your sister that Satan's behind you making her give up her faith.

  Your niece and nephew are lucky to have you. They may well need your support as they grow up and try to make life decisions contrary to their mothers wishes but again anything you say now may be used as reason to disassociate themselves. As birthdays and Xmas dwindle, why not ask if you can take part in any non-religious celebrations they may have. Wedding anniversaries are often well celebrated, maybe you could invite them out or round to yours so they're not surrounded but other witnesses. Some also have a surprise day or present day for the kids instead of Xmas.

  It's frustrating but its a situation many of us are in with our loved ones. Families splitting be it formal or informal are all too common in a religion that only has love for itself.
