excellent - the double speak of the back room/confessionals etc would have given food for thought to anyone actually listening - is he talking about the Catholic Church - oh- he must be....

ex elder will serve prison time for abuse
by sosad inwell, the pig will serve jail time.
check out the star phoenix - the story was page a3.
it's too bad but it is going to get overlooked due to our provincial election today.. the article is pretty graphic - it shows the power these guys hold over families and how naive parents that are jws really are - not to mention the wives of elders.

instead, he is coming across like a poor guy himself - with hardly a mention of the jw connections

she was 14 and the stupidity continued until she was almost 18 - isn't that classic pedofile actions - he was probably no longer attracted to her as she matured - since there was no "violence" ie it was "consensual" he will not get the maximum

why do so many "non witness " jws not bother to find out the "truth"
by sosad inmy siblings who have left (3/7 last count) have no desire to talk about or hear about much less read about what the deal is witht the org our parents decided would bring them everlasting life.
it is head shaking to me - and i try not to bring it up at all- but when they ask, or it comes up and they are all freaked out about me being interested in it all i just shake my head.
even friends i grew up with in the org have no desire to know - they are just not interested.

it was years before I looked at any of the doctinal arguments against the jws- their history, the flip flops, the hypocracy, the stupidity, and the mean spiritedness was easy to see- but to actually do the reasearch and see they were not the Truth was difficult

It really makes me feel like a "nerd" sometimes

The scandalous effect of JW childrens literature. Why not investigated?
by jambon1 ini can only imagine that in some jw children, the effect of the lessons taught and visual 'illustrations' can be mentally destructive.
some of the pictures in relation to armageddon are imo 'too much' for a small developing child to take.
it surprises me that the authorities have not investigated and put a stop to this form of mental abuse in children.

intereting thoughts on the bibile story book - my Catholic Husband did not want that one in the house for the kids -I begrudgingly tossed it but until now never really thought of the pictures as an issue for kids. We have a ton of other BS books and non of them are at all offensive in their illustrations.
the orange paradise book was absolutly terrifying as a kid - my older special needs brother was entirly freaked out - Blondie I totally remember the boy and his bike - i always thought he had been trying to get home to his mommy when armageddon struck

my friend and i were having a coffee after school at the "Hotel" - a respectable cafe in the town i grew up in - we were PRETENDING to steal the salt and pepper shakers- never did, not even close just for the sake of stupid teenage fun - and we were hauled before the elders - why on earth would we actually have stolen a salt shaker? It was so stupid -they were trying to pin anything they could on us. we were never sure who "told" on us

Did you feel like this toward the end? Brothers/Sisters & worldly people
by jambon1 ini can remember about 2 years before i exited the org i had a terrible dilema which didn't really have anything to do with my doubts in relation to doctrine.. the problem was hearing over and over and over about the fact that being in the org was 'the best place to be'.
that the brothers were 'true friends'.
didn't they have a video out called 'ypa - how can i make real friends?'.

in the late 60's early 70's there was a big influx of Hungarians into our area- my dad had many many studies as he was fluent. They were all close family friends - one "Auntie" was suddenly dfed - I was so young and could not figure this one out - I bugged and buged mom - why can't we talk to so and so, what would happen, what would she say - finally one night as my mom was packing up the bookbag she fnally said - "go ahead and say hi to her". I followed this poor woman out to the back of the hall, into the coat room trying to say hi and totally freaking her out I am sure. You have to remember, there was a huge language barrier.
My heart was pounding- i was so scared she would not be in the new system - and I also thought that j would make it somehow "impossible" for me to talk to her - like in a dream where you cannot say anything
i later learned taht prior to baptism, prior to even leaving Europe she had "sinned" (i think it may have been even prior to being married but that might be wrong) but never owned up to it before getting dunked. Since she was trying to hide her sin, she was dfed.
imagine the jc- i wonder if my dad (or anyone) translated
