we all know wt's view of "apostates"and disfellowshiped persons.
they grap from the old testament quotes that "god's people, isralites" stone to death the evil doers, even the unobedient children.
the first one to cast the stone was a close relative, parents, brothers, sisters.
For the posters that don't believe they would.
Have you forgotten what happended in Malawi?
Have you forgotten how the society takes great pride in the fact that some of their members children died for lack of a blood transfusion? Even writing articles boasting about it?
People who would allow their children to die in the name of god, would have no problem stoning sinners in the name of god.

Experiments with domestic dogs, where one animal was given a treat and another denied, have shown that they posses a sense of fairness as they shared their treats.
OK I stopped reading at this point, dogs do not "share" treats.
right now at bethel, they are laying off and reassigning again.
if you have cancer or some other illness, you are a liability and it's time to pack.
i remember the night when we had the special talk about there being a great need in the field and some would be sent out.
Please bear with us....we are an eclectic group....not cookie cutter look-alikes as would be found at a meeting.
Very good point Quandry.
Cessna, I hope you stay, I know your experiences and insight would be of great interest to all of us. I think you will discover that the Societys world is very small and you have to keep your blinders on. Out here the world is huge, limitless and your voice has value.
As a woman i think you will be amazed at how much more respect you will receive from worldly men then you ever received as a woman in the org.
I know I was.
i'm new to this forum and am also sacolton's wife.
alot of you already know about me because he's talked about me on here before...even has posted pictures, at which he incurred my wrath upon my discovery.
anyways...i'm about to submit my letter of disassociation to my local congregation and i thought i would share it.
Go tell it on the mountain sister.
Welcome to the free world!
lets start topics for discussion with jws, such ones, that will make them feel very unconfortable..... my first turn:.
why did jehovah create dinosaurs?
jehovah is a god of love right?
As a JW kid, I was told that the reason god created dinosaurs was to eat down the vegetation.
Which only made me wonder why Jah made to much vegetation in the first place?

i noticed on another thread a poster stating that he felt that unhappy jw's were in the minority.. .
I know that while I was a true believer, if anyone, especially a wordly person had ever asked me i would have said "Yes, i am very happy!".
Because doing otherwise would have been giving a bad witness.
But truthfully I was suicidal from the age of nine until I finally left the org in my mid-thirties.
I still have problems with depression but I have not considered suicide since i left.

What do you think?
dear friends,.
i have.. i was out of town doing three days of hard physical labor at 7000 feet, in the blazing sun.
five pounds lost may not seem much, but i sure can't seem to lose it by diet alone.
I lost eight pounds in two weeks when my current hubby and I began our physical relationship.
Previous to that I had spent most of my adult life married to a gay JW. Sex with him probably only burned about eight calories.
I had lots of catching up to do.
think about it, what if your young daughter was assaulted sexually by someone in the congregation.. you go to the elders and their is a jc.. the elders of course want to talk to the girl alone without the parents present and then proceed to ask the girl sexually explicit questions.. i've been in that situation and let me tell you, the jc is a rape in itself.
you can check out numerous threads on this board and also on silentlambs and you will see that i am not the only one that felt that way.. .
maybe a jury would think so too?.
Truthseeker that's part of the problem. Even though the parents obviously give there consent to have their child interrogated, they usually have no idea what they are in for, until after it happens.
They usually don't want the parents present either.
It is grossly inapropriate to have adult males ask sexually explicit questions to young underage girls and demand that they answer.
It is sexually abusive, and with underage children I think it is something that the elders could possibly be sued for.
Anyone else with thoughts on this?
