Some names were mentioned in this thread.

Regardless of their actions, their real and full names should not be posted on a public forum.

Sunday the 22nd works better for me. I can host if we keep it fairly simple (bring a dish, etc) and y'all want to come up to Ventura County.

Otherwise, maybe meet up at a park so kids can play?

Inappropriate - Sick - WT & Awake articles over the years.

by Essan in

i remember as a kid reading an article - not sure if watchtower or awake - which terrified the life out of me!

i remember thinking at the time "ok, this may be true, but i'm just a kid, i shouldn't be reading this!".

some of the details remain imprinted on my mind decades later.

There were 2 yearbooks that were just soo inappropriate for children. One focused alot on Malawi. My mom read it to us each morning at breakfast before we left for school. There was the follow-up admonition that we should be thankful that we live in America where, at the moment, the worst thing we had to endure was scorn from our classmates for not celebrating holidays and not saluting the flag. At least we weren't being raped and beaten in public by strangers (beatings from dad didn't count as persecution).

The other year book was all about the holocaust.

I also have some visuals that I got from those early morning reading sessions. Too graphic to mention the details of the various torture methods.

Question on Case of Disfellowshipped then Committed Suicide

by ruruj in

jw
friends

there was an occurrence years ago where a jw wrongdoer was disfellowshipped.

in a matter of days this poor victim committed suicide.. would there be any kind of accountability for the victim's suicide death?.

how frequent do these cases happen?.

Employment is secular. Place of worship and/or with your family are the two places on the entire earth where you should feel comfort in your soul.

You cannot compare Disfellowshipping from the JW organization to being fired from a job. They are no where near the same thing.
