friends

seems to me that you could go to any one of those meetings and find a jw.. oh and weren't there alway those theocratic urban legends about some family somewhere who bought into said ponzi scam and they all quit their jobs and are pioneering now that they've gotten into it?.

I remember going to a book study and the guy who owned the house was always on to the latest jw fad. He would have what ever was new on the shelves, so people would have to comment on them.

Geez he was a scammer!!

How many here have worked in social work, etc. & DON'T think MJ was a molester?

i mean, c'mon, people.

seriously, i admire those who want to think the best.

but the guy had just about every red flag/indicator you can have.

I can only comment from Australia's legal system and child protection laws and there would be some heads rolling if that happened here. Every step we take is under the microscope of the legal system. One tiny error in a written report would see me in court.

It's amazing how many comments on here can Social Workers, saying they jump in without evidence or a quick to judge but in my 15 yrs of working in this field, I have seen so many abusers get away with their behaviour by using the legal system (or bullying the victim) but not one false accusation by a Social Worker.

Remember, Social Workers only follow up allegations made by a concerned outsider.

There's a scent of urban myth here. Of course there must be cases of overzealousness but there are so many abused kids being reported to agencies. Try to understand that we are trying to unravel intense interrelationships going back generations in some cases.

another Michael Jackson joke... add yours (no accounting for good taste :P

by SnakesInTheTower in

so you heard that with all the surgeries michael jackson had over the years that he was probably 99% plastic?

after the autopsy is done, the body is to be shipped to the lego factory.

...yeah, they are going to melt him down into legos........ .

Michael Jackson turned up at the pearly gates and St Peter said "As a welcome treat we are getting pizza and a movie, shall we get Alladin?

Guilt trip

by vikesgirl101 in

i got to thinking about something that happened a year ago.

i was drifting away from the org, when my sister-in-law told me i was being selfish.

she said she was at aloss for words as to what to tell her 11 year old daughter about me.

I'm sure if you sat in a kh or convention and marked down each time guilt/fear was used as the motivating tool(s), you would see a clear pattern of jw philosophy

People STILL believe in Demons and Ghosts on this site...bloody 16th Century rubbish!

by Witness 007 in

it's the 21st century mate!

there is no evidence for demons and ghosts!

people saying ouija boards really work because: "this one time...at band camp...." crap i say!

doofdaddy

Yep 007 I agree. It's the aloneness that I was forwarning. Not being a smart arse, just that reality of the lone journey will be confronting to many, to say the least!!
