  Welcome Jehovah

  jehovah, .

  oh how many times i've prayed to you and felt your scornful laugh from yonder skies, how you mock me and laugh at me.

  my creation is for your amusement obviously, kinda like the celestial version of the sunday comics, only i appear in technicolor everyday for you.

  If you ever get to Texas I'll buy you the second brew.

  Why do we tell our stories: reconsidered

  by Lady Lee in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  many of us were victims of various kinds of abuse: physical, emotional, sexual and definitely spiritual abuses.

  many people have created an atmosphere where it is finally safe for us to tell our stories.

  we do this for a variety of reasons.

  I have been out for about 25 years now been to some meetings during that time. I always thought I was among a very few people like me. I used to believe everything the wts said as gospel. I admit I sometimes still have anxiety feelings. I am now reading Crisis of Conscience and my feelings of anxiety are diminishing. When I stumbled on jwd I found a world I never new existed my eternal thanks to all on this board.

Thanks It seems he really is discussing the shunning situation and how the governing body tried to control the private lives of the flock. God How they suck Most aren't even married. I guess I am still confused.

  Is everyone accused guilty?

  by hambeak in

  1. jw

  i have seen a lot of posts here that attack pedophiles and want open records which i agree with.

  pedophiles are detestable and disgusting.. my question is don't you think some are wrongfully accused by some especially in child custody issues?

  i know of some that were accused and arrested and in one case the mother in law and wife admitted in pre trial they made the whole thing up.

  Haven't spoken to the ex in over 15 years I heard she is no longer active and had dated someone I worked with while I was in CA He told me she still considers me her husband. I only wish she had remarried and found someone. Her only regret last time I spoke was someone hadn't killed me because I left her. I for the most part now days rarely even think of her

  that is what my mom told me when i got bit by a brown recluse spider.. i was in ohio, visiting my daughter and my mom was there trying to convert me back.

  she even said if i go back, we would get custody of my daughter..... well....i drove myself there from ks and somehow had gotten bitten right before i left.

  it was right between my eyes, and my head started swelling up on the way there.

  Maybe in time your mom will soften, sorry to hear about what she said but I think a lot of parents say very mean things because they are convinced if you follow the party line you are doomed. Best wishes and I hope you get your child back soon

  i feel that we live in a blame free world.

  were all perfect, we make no mistakes and everything we do it 100% right.

  i know this, because i work in customer service and get calls all day long from these perfect people.

  I agree with woofer, I am in the auto repair business and people aren't here because they want to be they are here because they have to be. It always tickles me when for example on one occasion one of my techs changed the oil on this guys mercedes he came back a few days later and told me ever since you changed my oil my car shakes, I told him as I recall we recommended you get new pads and rotors as your rotors are warped and can cause some vibration he absolutely was convinced it was because we didn't do his oil change right. After about 15 minutes of listening to his tirade I just told him to leave. I guess that is what is nice about working for yourself. Sometimes we do make a mistake and when we do we fix it and don't charge the customer a dime.

  I am assuming english is not your primary language. Good idea but a total waste of time and energy.
