I agree. BOTH sides should be represented. We know that the current R&F can't tell the whole truth without fear of repercussions. That's something that PBS needs to understand: Witnesses will only say what they are PROGRAMMED to say. You can't get any more biased than that.

A Moral Dillema... and ideas?
by Abaddon inokay, background info;.
my ex-wife is threatening to cut contact between me and my daughters (12 and almost 15).. she has done a great job of being the parent with the lions share of rasing them (especialy as she's become inactive) and has always resisted 'excessive' involvement as well as always being resentful and obstructive of contact with them, down to them not feeling comfortable to call me due to her reaction.
last year my x cut off contact for three month as she was 'under stress'... or more accurately, i'd asked to have them for a week in the summer holidays and she can't stand to see me have anything that makes me happy even if it spoils things for her daughters.... this year, in addition to repeating the request for holidays, i spoke to her about a few problems i'd found out about regarding my daughters.

You have every right to parent your children. Do what you think will be the most effective in getting you time with your famiy and no matter what the outcome, let them know somehow that you're there for them. It can make a world of difference when they (hopefully) walk away from the borg.
I grew up without my father (his choice), mom grew up without her father (his choice) and my children are growing up without their dubdumdummy father (again, his choice). Even though I totally disagree with the JW faith, and I know that what teeny-tiny time he spends talking with them he slips it in - I don't care. It's HIS right to influence his children - if only he understood that it is also his obligation before God. But we know the dubs don't think like that. It's the Borg first - everyone else NEVER! Family? "We're you're family' (barf).

This takes balls....
by chrissy in...and considering i don't have any, it is surprising that i found the nerve to post my photo as my avatar!
i was leery to use my photo thinking someone i knew could catch on to my new apostate antics.
so, i couldn't decide what to use.

no way am I going to let the wts continue to control my thought processes. Besides, they are the ones lying to 6 million people...what do I have to hide?
You GO Crissy! That's right, you don't have to hide who you are anymore. No need to prentend to be a brain dead book-seller who enjoys peddling books and magazines and trying to explain things you really can't believe.j
KUDOS!
And welcome to the board if I haven't said so already.

The Story of Uncle Malcolm
by katiekitten inthis is a great story and its totally true.. peter kay says that when you are a kid you have loads of aunties and uncles, your uncle bob because he once borrowed your dads orbital sander and your aunty mary because your mum goes to weight watchers with her.
i thought it was a witnoid thing, or maybe a north of england thing, or even a 70's thing.. uncle malcolm was (is) an elder in my childhood congregation, a little wiry bloke in a flat cap and painters overalls.
lived in a council house opposite my nana's with the ample aunty jean, two large shiftless sons and lots of budgies.

Shania - the movie version was on cable last week. I believe it was called "Owellian" (???)
Scary stuff, SOOOOOOOOOO reminded me of the witnesses, the watchers, the dicatators (GB), the slackers, conscienteous objectors, and the brain dead followers. I probably couldn't read the book. Thinking about Witness stuff too much makes me sick .
And yet I persist in reading and posting on this forum ... hmmmmmmm
Well, that's cause you all understand how I feel. Now, group vomit
Ahhhhhh what a relief!
BRB, have to see what's on the other threads.

2 JWs Sent Registered Letters For "APOSTASY"
by minimus ini was told that 2 "anointed" witnesses that had recently (on the night of the memorial) picketed in front of the kingdom hall were sent registered letters inviting them to a judicial committee meeting.
the husband had told the elders when they first called last week that the elders should call off the meeting because his wife had once again had major tremors and had to be hospitalized due to being sent the letter.
and that the elders should realize that they would surely get legal action against them if anything happened to his wife.

I'll have to go check it out. Thanks Lawrence.
I don't see any way they can stem the tide of exposes' of the WTBTS. The way I see it, the only ones left in the next 3 - 5 years will be the old-timers and those absolutely too fearful to find out the truth (the die hard captives). But for all the downhearted, depressed, disgruntled and plain old thinking witnesses ... it's only a matter of time.
