  Anyone look at this board while still an IN and ACTIVE JW?

  by Mad Sweeney in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i vaguely remember looking at this board a few years ago, before i ever considered leaving the borg, and being appalled at the evil and hateful attitudes i saw here and scared to death of reading any further.. now i go back through years and years of posts and there is no evil or hate there at all.

  it's one of the most kind and welcoming boards i've encountered since the invention of the internet.. that is how well borg indoctrination works.

  it is eerily like 1984. black is white.

  I would never touch anything even hinting of apostacy.

  I exited still a believer, and would still defend the JW's.

  Completely by accident I stumbled on the silentlambs website, I read story after story that sounded just like mine.

  I had been sexually assaulted by my step dad, the elders did jack shit, and told me never to speak of it again, they never once checked up on me after sending me back home with my stepdad.

  I had convinced myself that mine was an isolated incident, I had fallen through the cracks, perfect org run by imperfect men blah blah blah

  But then I read all those storys, I came to realize that the elders had handled my case strictly by the societys rules, the society treated all sex abuse victims that way, ALL of them.

  Their rules didn't apply to me any more, I read what I damn well wanted to, and thats how I found this site.

  we are a unique breed whom outsiders apparently find fascinating.. a lady and i were discussing this at the beauty shop on yesterday; her take on it is that we are hidebound traditionalists who are unashamedly sweet and sentimental.. what's your view?.

  It means your a hotty.

  Or it means that your female and they are male, and it you stood face to face they wouldn't know what to say to you or how to act and they would get all nervous and all.

  But in a vehicle, they can whoop it up and then make a hasty retreat.

  Kind of like in grade school when a boy likes you and slugs you in the arm and then runs away.

  to set the stage this was were elijah had the people gathered together at mt.carmel,along with the.

  450 prophets of baal and the 400 prophets of the sacred pole.

  it was a test to prove to the people .

  The real reason is because they know, for a fact, that it would not work.

  They will not admit it though, and will make up another reason.

  Young sister I knew had a vanity plate that said "agape".

  I was with her one time when a young man asked her what it meant.

  her reply was, "it's a type of love"

  A religious group with even the most basic ethics does not use its constituents as slave labor to reproduce and perpetuate its teachings.

  I agree

  Forget about what men like.

  That hair covers up some very sensitive areas.

  I mean, sex through a hole in a blanket is great and all,

  but remove that covering, and expose all those sensitive areas that you may not know you had, is well worth a few itchy days.

  Ebert: Why I Hate 3-D (And You Should Too)

  roger ebert.

  why i hate 3-d (and you should too)3-d is a waste of a perfectly good dimension.

  hollywood's current crazy stampede toward it is suicidal.

  I've been watching a lot of the new 3-d movies, they are fun.

  But they sacrifice story in lieu of things zooming off the screen at you.

  So they are only fun in small doses, imo.

  I asked that question when I was five years old.

  the answer I got was (condensending chuckle) "that's how Jehovah created different languages" (more laughing and chuckling).

  I was only five but it pissed me off that they thought my question was "cute"

  But they couldn't even give me a decent answer.
