looking back at the 10 or so cases of disfellowshipping i recall, i think only 1 was due to the orwellian borg spy system.
he was ratted out.. all the other cases were actually "confessions" by people that otherwise would have gotten away with it.
i am wondering is these percentages.
I was ratted out by my pious mom!!!! She was so disgusted in me. She went into my house knowing Iwasn't there and read a letter I wrote to a guy.
I wrote about our night together. Imagine coming home to my house being invaded by my mother going through my things and then telling me how
disgusting she is. Watch out for elders wives, even if they are your mom. I guess I always knew she couldn't be trusted.

i've been lurking here a long time.
one of the topics that i rarely see disscussed is how many of you parents beat their kids because the religion told them to?
if so did you really beat your kids (after reading from the bible) or did you ignore the rule?
My step-father has told me as well as others in the cong that my stories are a LIE!!!! My sister-a JW elder wife and my half-brothers heared him say it and are stunned that he
won't admitt we were treated very badly. Of course because I am no longer a JW he CAN say I am lying because no one will come and ask me about it. His son----my half-brother
beat me almost every day and admitts how bad he was to me and is sorry, but again my step-dad told everyone I am lying. My mom won't stand up for me either.
Now as an adult and raising my own children, I did get help to learn how to handle kids because I had nothing to judge what is normal discipline for children. I still feel much anger
for the abuse I lived with, but am doing pretty good now. There is no way in hell I would ever not believe the stories of abuse from some of the ex-witnesses.
Most of our abuse was mental,but there was physical abuse and we were told to lie since my step-dad was an elder. (my mother told us to lie).
I remember hiding because I was so scared of his rage. He through me in a closet for sucking on my brothers soother when I was 4. His spankings were so bad that we couldn't sit for days.
My sister was thrown through my gramas glass door(breaking it) then had her arm twisted and thrown down the stairs. Just a few examples of presiding over your family properly.
Sorry, but feeling a little bitter right now and just needed to post!

after my dog chewed the internet cable and left me off line for 24 hours, i got inspired to post this topic.
have your pets caused damage in your house or even beyond?
my dog also chewed and ruined a couple of shoes and a ten pound note (around $18) that fell to the floor without me realising this.
I had a dog that chewed up my brand new linoleum(sp). She chewed most of our baseboards also. The linoleum was pretty much the last straw for him as I was at my witts end with him.
The dog we have now is put in a kennel if we have to leave and if it is for any length of time he comes with.

i don't mean this as an insult, more of a life experience thing.
i saw a lot of people leave in my years there and a lot were angry with the religion and the people, and some even protested the kingdom halls and wrote things in the newspapers.
a lot though, came back in time, as it was just the comfort zone they felt at ease in.
My guess is that if someone went back, they would only do it once. Its easier to spot how screwed they all are. Believe me I've done it!!!!!
At least the second time, you start to recognize there is something really wrong with the whole picture and its easier to walk away from it a second time.
While it is still painfull, I found it very satisfying to say to family "what are you going to do? Never talk to me again? I WILL LIVE!!!!!!"
I would rather be diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour or alziemers than to be sentenced to be a witness for the rest of my life. At least the people that
will be looking after me with these illnesses really DO love me and would take care of me because they DO love me.

during the past few weeks i have noticed a lot of people sign off their posts with their names.. does this mean that we have no fear of the evil wt empire?.

walland, tn..
I was worried at the beginning, but now I'm crusty!!!! The governing body can kiss my ass and I don't care who knows I'm here because I want my family free one day.
I also keep hoping my long lost sister will see me here and will realize I am on her side. She has been missing for about 2 and half years. The police know she is alive, but can't locate her either. Thanks watchtower society for systematically screwing my family around since my birth!!!!!!

i got this email in 2001 from someone i don't know.
i posted about it back then, but got no responses.
it is kinda a long read, but worth it.
I believe the witnesses are capable. Before I was announced disfellowshipped, my mom reminded me that in the days of the Israelites that if a child was willfully disobedient that the parents could stone that child to death.
My mom is one of the kindest people out there and would give her shirt to anyone in need. It was quite chilling to see her turn from such a beautiful person to one who seemed to wish we lived in the days of the Israelites. I bet she is thinking "damne society we live in these days, why if it wasn't illegal to kill her I'd be first in line"

Do they know that cows DONT have horns?

do you worry when posters go missing?.
on minute there posting everyday the next nothing.
i was thinking of jez, but there are many more.
I'm still here everyday, but just reading. I am finding it hard to keep up with the kids and post too.
Checking in everyday at least keeps me from going insane and I keep hoping that one of these days a great post will start about everyone "brought the watchtower down"
Anyway thanks for missing us all!!!
