umbertoecho re the ARC

by umbertoecho in

hello to everyone.. i hope you are all well and sorting things out between yourselves.

i have temporary internet access which is probably a good thing for now.

i have been contacted by the arc in a respectful and loving manner today.

The organizations, religious a.d secular are indeed facing the consequences of their action and inaction. Which is as it shoud be. There is no overreaction, rather, it is the proper reaction, compounded with the interest of time and the damage that built up in the souls of the victims and the escalation of crimes which could have been prevented. This is the only justice many victims will get.

Welcome. Many here have experienced abusive family in the Borg. I'm sorry for every one and it makes mine seem mild. Comparing g levels of abuse just shows what a sick culture we have left/,are leaving.

My best to you. I hope you find peace with knowledge and maturity.

He grew old and is dying in this system of things. He is a hateful, miserable humanoid. You are a loving mom, and partner, and in spite of them, a loving daughter and sister. You WIN.

He can't hurt you or help you anymore. You are nicer than I would be to the miserable old coot. Go there, say goodbye and once again be the bigger person. Tell you mom that you are here for her and give her contact info surreptitiously-you never know what she will do with her freedom.

You are a rock star.

Are there details anywhere for federal auditors? It looks fraudulent.

To Scully--A Tribute!

by Atlantis in

if you are a new person to the board you might want to send scully a pm thanking her for her hard work and dedication.

the boe project owes her for helping it to get started.. example:.

several years ago there was a website called (dirtclod.com) who had the courage to display the boes right out in front of everybody.

JWdaughter

Thanks Scully. I appreciate what you are doing.

am i overreacting?

by freeandcontent in

hi, new here but have been lurking for a while.

some background first, i am from the uk, 3rd gen born in, dad, grandad elders etc.

17 years ago i left, no df or da just left, 18 years old and alone but i did it and have had no regrets.

JWdaughter

Welcome.

Ensure that you have guardians lined up and a will in place in case you pass before your parents/siblings or beautiful baby daughter will be raised JW.

Nothing wrong with setting boundaries, gently now but less so if they are abusing your gentle kindness. If you lose her over this, then you'd lose her in any case. Best wishes.

Hello, fairly new, studying for around 7 months, just thought I would introduce myself.

by Conanthebeliever in

hello everyone, i hope you are all ok. .

my name is conan, i am 25, and from the uk.

i have some brain damage, so i apologise in advance if my syntax is off or i go a long way around explaining things.

JWdaughter

Conan, you seem thoughtful, concerned and bright. If I might suggest something that will allow you to study with your friend. Ask for a straight up study of Jesus, according to Jesus. No literature. Not really formal doctrine or theology. Read the bible and learn what Jesus taught, in context, according to the gospels. Just get a good sense of that without reading into it, hopscotching about prophecies or Paul. Just Jesus of the gospels. It will be good for both of you.

The reward of being a nice guy!

by StephaneLaliberte in

today, an old jw friend came to visit a member of my family who is still active.

i saw them leave together to run errands.

when they left, she didn't say hi and barely looked at me.. after taking care of my cores around the house, i noticed that the sister had forgot to turn off the head lights of her car.

JWdaughter

I'm glad you did the right thing rather than taking your 'right' to feel bad about her treatment of you.

Just threw away...

by stephanie61092 in

so even though i don't drive much because public transit is so good where i live (and parking is a living nightmare), i always had a paper taped onto my glove box that said "no blood transfusions - jehovahs witness.

see legal documentation in wallet.

going through this "wake up" process as been a very crazy, emotional experience.

JWdaughter

Good for you. Update your doctor/hospital records, too! I would at this point have a actual living will done, too, just so that there is a document that specifically makes your wishes clear so that in case of emergency no relatives can muddy up your waters. Or kill you! Living wills are more comprehensive than just the blood documents. Also have a medical POA done and of course, you should all get your wills done. Its cheap insurance that your wishes will be respected and your stuff won't be given to the borg.

its the begining

by pepperheart in

its the begining of the end for the jws in place of the 200 and 300 page books that they have on the trolleys they had some of the old editions of the watchtower and awake so they have gone from 300 page books to 16 page tracts.why havent they replaced the books with new ones it couldnt be that they are short of money lol

JWdaughter

Pete is right, but the overwhelming fact is that everything the WT is putting out lately is to DISCOURAGE the dissemination of their literature. It isn't making them money, anyway. They are going online and the carts are really just about putting the "JW.ORG" out there-branding.
