  Dear Mouthy, I don't know if you saw the same one I saw. But the one I saw was on PBS some time back. And what impressed me was the Lady that lived with her 2 kids at the safe house in the city. She was in a position where she could have taken her kids and left when she heard what happened. But she was bound to the group mentally so she slit her kids throats and the took her own life. I know some witnesses who appear to have the same mentality. Let us pray for them to wake up! The other thing that really impressed me was when Congressman Ryan and his associates were gunned down as they boarded the plane. It reminded me so much of how when ones wants to leave the organization he gets "gunned down" on his way out in a spiritual sense (according to them anyway). For a long time I fought against the idea that JWs are a cult. I no longer fight the idea, because it's true. If they wasn't a cult, members would have the true freedom that Christ said his followers would have at John 8:32 seek2find

  i can't believe what is going on back home in wisconsin!

  my ex-wife, who is a jw, lost her job, lost her rental home, and has now taken my 3 daughters to live with her mother and step-father in law.

  this was all done in secret and was spilled accidentally to me through the girls.

  I agree with sirnose. Many JWs try to get disability. Some even pray for it thinking Jehovah will open up the way for them to pioneer getting a disability check each month. I remember standing in a food line at a DC several years back, when they still had food, and hearing a couple sisters talking about this. And I thought it was awful to do such a thing. seek2find

  i received an email from my sister in law.

  she was relating an experience given in a talk at an assembly.

  a young couple wanted to have children, but they couldn't conceive, so they decided to adopt a child.

  One has to wonder if his parents were Jw, what happened to them? A while back the Society sent out counsel about passing around unverified experiences via the internet. The implication was made that none of the internet experiences were true. I have to wonder when I hear stories such as this one. If anyone verified it. Or is it just accepted as true because it was said at an assembly By the DO? I wondered about the one in the front of last years "Examining the Scriptures daily" about the police officer that stopped the field service group and ask them where the text was taken from that day. It sounded to far fetched to be true to me. Regardless, it's a shame that the only good experiences that are to be believed in according to the Society, are the ones that witnesses have. How about the good ones that are recorded in the history books by other Christians, such as the ones that George Mueller had? seek2find

  I have to wonder if the increase this year wasn't in part, due to the articles about young ones getting baptized. I don't remember which mag it was in, but it suggested that 12 or 13 years of age was not to young. I know of many youth who are looked down on if they are not baptized by the time they are 18. The problem with this in my opinion is that youth are encouraged to wait till they are "past the bloom of youth" to get married. Why shouldn't getting baptized be the same??? I think I know the answer. A young ones getting baptized locks him or her into the org. The fear of disfellowshipping takes over and they become enslaved and in the full grip of the mind control world. This doesn't seem to fit with the words of Christ, or his example either. Although he was spiritual at 12 years old,(when he was found in the temple discussing things with the elders) he didn't get baptized until 30. seek2find

  One more thing that makes me think it could be MS is that the problem started after a bout of sickness. MS is caused by an over active immune system. The Immune system tries to do it's job and fight against germs and viruses like the flu, but because it's over active it starts attacking the Mylein insulating sheath on the nerves resulting in a short circuiting effect producing weird sensations and numbness, weakness, fatigue, blurred vision and other things. Most people who have it have noticed an increase in their symptoms when exposed to heat. That was the way it was originally diagnosed was by putting someone in a hot bath and seeing if there was an increase in symptoms. seek2find

  Hi Again, since it's been six days, this may very well be an MS exacerbation. If it is, it may last between 3 and 5 or 6 weeks then begin to fade. Your doctor may refer you to a neurologist. I speak from experience. I was diagnosed in 1995. If it is MS, don't let it get you to depressed. It may not be too bad in your case. I still hold a regular job, and have very few problems. PM me any time if you need anything. seek2find

  Where do you hide your apostate literature?

  since some of us are still active and have to hide our so-called apostate literature, i am curious about where some of you keep it.

  i have to leave it at my workplace.

  i manage, however, to have one book at home.
