  In ref. to child abuse

  ok all time to get real.

  child abuse is not limited to jw's.. if you truly want to stop child abuse first start with the family , and be honest we all have a relative that is a pedophile.. then protect your family from stranger danger.. don't just isolate to jw's.. expand and truly stop the child abuse world wide.

  Two wrongs do not make a right. If you had done the above you would be just like the child abuser.
  
  I take exception to this. Retribution for wrongs done to a child is very different from the mindset of a sexual preditor. Criminal acts, yes, but with far different motivations.

  The despairing cry of the loyal Jehovah's Witness.

  i found this thread on the justjw's forum.

  it made me feel so sad for the poster, i wondered how long she'd been waiting for paradise to arrive.

  checking her posting history reveals a very lonely 26 year old medical worker who swings between despair and delight..

  The responses to her misery were worse than useless. Faux-concern, whip out a bible, and wait on jehovah. The same effing advice flowing from the lips of every Dub worldwide.
  
  It's going to take more than worn out platitudes to help this young woman.
  
  I feel a headache coming on

  1st post, but not new!

  hello everyone, been browsing the forum for quite a while now(about a year) and decided its time to post.

  i'm male, just turned 36 on the first of april, i've been in a the process of fading for about two years now, not that easy having come from a witness family.

  i've been in doubt about this religion for most of my life, but finally built up the courage to stop going to the meetings, finding out now how big and beautiful this world is and realizing how much i missed out on "real" life!.....i started to fade about the time i was being pushed, yes pushed into becoming a ms. i did not want to have that duty, and i say duty, not "privelege" as they would say because thats what it is, a duty!

  the latest issue of "real simple" magazine presents a lovely list of ways we can give back to our community.

  how's this for a quote, "in faith and hope the world disagree, but all mankind's concern is charity.

  " - alexander pope, "essay on man.".

  It's nice to do something and see tangible results. We are planning to start renovations for a larger two-screen theater later this year and of course providing something that people actually want, a good evening's entertainment.

  Thanks for the link by the way, rebel8. My normally good manners have been slightly distracted by our new friend here.

  Only that it is a book filled with some good ideas surrounded by a bunch of gobbley-gook that makes it mostly unreadable and impractical to most people.
  
  And those that do make some headway often hold their own interpretation as THE interpretation and set themselves up as some sort of leader among men.

  That what this list of misquotes is about. The men holed up in Bethel are twisting the words of secular sources to fit WTS dogma.

  Good job jw, now we know you can cut and paste. Care to explain why the WTS misquotes source material to suit it's own purposes?
