how do you perceive the jws that had brought you into the wts, do you like them, resent them, are they still dubs or did they get out before you?
it would be nice if there are instances where those that brought people in later helped them leave.
i don't particularly like the dubs that got me in because i later realised they were doing everything to impress their superiors and get promoted, something they achieved as they got good bethel positions abroad.
I think alot about the folks that brought my wife in. They used to be so energetic and enthused about the truth. I still remember the day they showed up at our door (and I didn't have enough sense to pull a pistol )
After a nasty run in with their local boe I think they are going through some serious doubts.
I am hoping to spend some time with them soon and land a thought provoking comment. They are both to smart to just keep droning on in the JW echo chamber.
If they were to leave it would be DEVASTATING to my wife's faith in TFDS.
And what incredible allies they could become in my struggle to help my wife to free her mind.
Plus they are such nice folks. I really hope they can regain some control over their lives!

california court tells watchtower society to make public the silentlambs files revealing who among jehovahs witness are pedophiles etc:.
http://silentlambs.org/newsletter/newsletteritem.cfm?sendoutid=489.
From reading the ruling it sounds like these records will be open to the court and/or parties filing suit against the WT. Does it also mean they will be made public?
It would be nice to have a good rundown of the pedophiles known to the org, since they protect them from secular sanction.
It also appears this is a ruling from a lower court. This could open the WT to death by a thousand cuts. Expect them to fight this like a cornered animal, because that is what they are here. They will take it through every appeal they can. That will take a long time.
Nevertheless, the WT can run but they can't hide.

okay so we're still a good seven years away but before they know it the watchtower will have to deal with all those centennials, the 100 year anniversaries they hoped and prayed would never come around.. how do you suppose they'll handle it?
how should we handle it?
what on earth are any long time dubs going to be thinking?.
Jeff,
You are disturbingly good at writing this crap.

remember this guy?.
1992 murder conviction is upheld.
by barbara bell.
Wow that is a really disturbing story!
I am from that area, but I was living elsewhere at the time so I don't recall this at all.
Even if his dad buggered him, he had to be pretty disturbed to rape his dead mother?! Which then makes me wonder if he was disturbed enough to claim his dad buggered him.
Hey the dubs get on my nerves too, but they sure never made me want to kill and rape my mother.
I will sleep better knowing this guy is behind bars.

Sucks the life out of you and turns you to dust? Pretty accurate description then, hey cal?
The real funny part is I cut and pasted the profile from a standard sociopath description. I knew I would find a few things there, but I was amazed how well it fit! I only cut a couple!

APUPI - Sheboygan, WI
Police made a significant breakthrough this week in a perplexing string of murders with the help of forensic science.
For years now police have been befuddled by a series of murders that have followed the same pattern. The victims are all found at their door in a very advanced state of decay with a brochure filled with inane, indecipherable gibberish in their hand.
"At first we focused on the brochures. We brought in experts of cyphertext, encryption, and even dead languages to see if they offered any useful information. They never were able to. In fact, everytime we thought they were getting close they would simply fall asleep out of sheer boredom. We didn't know what to do!", explained Detective Harris.
The breakthrough came when renowned FBI profiler John Douglas came in to review the case. Despite all his experience, he was particularly disturbed by the diseased mind of this cold-blooded killer. The profile he produced is as follows:
Does not perceive that anything is wrong with them
Authoritarian
Secretive
Paranoid
Only rarely in difficulty with the law, but seeks out situations where their tyrannical behavior will be tolerated, condoned, or admired
Conventional appearance
Goal of enslavement of their victim(s)
Exercises despotic control over every aspect of the victim's life
Has an emotional need to justify their crimes and therefore needs their victim's affirmation (respect, gratitude and love)
Ultimate goal is the creation of a willing victim
Incapable of real human attachment to another
Unable to feel remorse or guilt
Extreme narcissism and grandiose sense of purpose
He continued, "This is basically a person with no hope in this life. They don't have any retirement, and most likely hold a menial job. They wear cheap suits, and unpolished soft-soled dress shoes. This person most likely drives a four-door vehicle." Strangely he was unable to determine the gender of this diabolical criminal. He even opened the frightening prospect that this individual might not be working alone. An unnamed source said that there is even evidence that they are bringing their children with them to commit these crimes.
He then went on to recommend a set of forensic tests. These proved to be key. What they revealed was a set of chemicals released in the brain that indicate a torturous level of boredom. Tests on the lungs showed toxic levels of chemicals related to extreme halitosis. These effects combine to produce an extremely slow, painful death, and the emaciated, haunting corpses police have been finding at doorsteps all across town. "I have seen 2000 year old mummies in better shape" explained Detective Harris when he described the horrifying crime scenes.
"So what we have here is some sort of psychopath of the most despicable form, who is going around to the most vulnerable among us. The victims are people who are looking for answers, or maybe just need someone to talk to. Then this heinous killer preys on them. They subject them to a slow, agonizing, and gruesome death that simply cannot be imagined. They literally suck the life out of them" explained John Douglas. "Now that we have a better idea of what we are looking for, we have some hope of catching this killer before they strike again."
"Until then I recommend that if someone you don't know comes to your door unannounced, dressed in a cheap suit, carrying a bag full of brochures, that you do not open that door under any circumstance! Your very life may be at stake!"

"there were watchtowers and osmond cd's strewn around everywhere" recalled the shaken resident marjorie spade, whose yard was the setting for a lame, sissy fight.
"i couldn't believe that in this day and age we still are fighting religious wars", she said in the aftermath of the flailing, ineffectual fracas.. apparantly the outbreak of faith-based nerd violence took place when two groups of youths approached eachother while out in their respective ministries.
Sometimes if you don't keep a sense of humor about the dubs you will end up joining them in the funny farm.

And unfortunately, this was true!!
Really? I don't know that much about the mormons, just stuff I have run across in my unfortunate need to learn all about cults. It just popped into my head and somehow I had a feeling it was probably true.
If I was a creepy old bastard, I would join the mormons. How else would you get a 20yr old wife!
Sorry about the mental image when you had the little mormons at your door. You know that as soon as something funny gets in your head, it will come up at some inoportune time.

Bebu,
I was proud of that line, but my favorite was "and that Brigham Young wasn't his name but how he instructed his followers to bring him prospective wives".
People at work were wondering why I was giggling for a few minutes after typing that one.
