There are not enough words to describe this POS. Bill Mayer said 20+ years ago a young female comedian friend of his told him the same story. She was poor, knew she would not be believed going up against a popular and beloved superstar, and moved on. This guy is the real deal and needs to go to prison.

102Bill Cosby - too much smoke for no fire?
by Simon init seems like the list of people who are accusing him of rape and sexual assault is growing every day.
i'm skeptical of single accusations but the number of people and the similar stories seem overwhelming now.. it's not a conviction but to the court of public opinion ... guilty?.

Waiting For The "Real Life"...
by JW_Rogue inhow many times did we have to hear this?
just another way to make you feel guilty for wanting to spend time improving yourself or enjoying life outside the organization.
to think of all the people that died waiting for the "real life" that is not coming is actually very sad and depressing.

It's so sad. But they don't feel sad and it's their choice to believe in a fantasy sold to them by the Wizard spinning the wheels of the machine.
If the believers wanted the normal things bad enough they would pursue them. That's the sad truth also. It is easier and less painful to stay.

Candace settled and she deserves the peace.
by snare&racket in"hot topic on topix seems to be candace conti settlement.
but it's all quiet here.
are you guys aware that your hero, who was not in it for the money but to change policies, settled without changing anything?".

To me part of the win with Candace's case is the spotlight aimed at the WBTS which reveals their motives, something rarely seen. They hide behind the Wizard's curtain appearing to be good. But in the end, the defense of the corporation is to protect itself at all costs, including the disregard for the victimization of a child.
No one will be signing up to be one of JW's if they have ever read any of the court transcripts. That's a victory.
The lack of concern, empathy, sympathy for abuse victims is appalling to the normal human being. It is not for somebody in a cult. Nor is it unusual for 8 million JW's who gleefully anticipate the destruction of 9 billion human beings so they can have a swiss chalet over looking a vineyard populated with their own pet lion and panda bear.
The joke is on them, the poor saps...loyal to a fantasy.
Oh no, Candace won BIG time...as will ALL the others that follow. Money is important, but not as important as the truth coming out about this vile corporation. Nobody in their right mind would ever want to be a JW. Nobody with children should EVER be a JW.

WT September 2015 (Public edition) - We never petition for Money
by Designer Stubble inpage 6 of the september 2015 public wt, under the heading "how is our ministry financed"our work is supported entirely by voluntary donations.
(2 corinthians 9:7) in 1879, the second issue of this magazine stated: zions watch tower [as this magazine was then called] has, we believe jehovah for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support.
we have not wavered from that policy.

That's great! A handful of us from JWN went to see him a few years ago when he spoke at a local event. Several had their pictures taken with him. It was a very good discourse.
The nut case Ray Comfort was there with his group passing out copies of "Origins of the Species" in front of the venue for some reason. Got a copy from him. (rolls eyes)
Enjoy and tell us about it later.

I never went as a JW. 2 yrs after I left I was contacted to attend my 30 year out of the blue by a girl that was a neighbor way back when. I went, and even though I was a fish out of water and had left that school after 9th grade to go "where the need is greater," everybody was very nice and we kept in touch for awhile. It is amazing no matter how old we all are, in our minds eye we are still see each other as those 14 yr old kids.
Have fun! It's interesting and the music will be great!

Welcome! Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so happy you made it out! You have a great attitude and that along with working towards a goal in life will help you go far.
Sorry about the loss...but as you have stated and we too have discovered, nothing is worth more than being able to live your own life with freedom of thought. Who knew??!!!
Good luck and look forward to your comments.
