New one

i've been lurking on this forum for over a year, and i thought i'd say a quick hello.. .

i was raised as a jehovah's witness and managed to endure past the encouragement that one receives from age 16 onwards about what is holding me back, and never got baptised.

i figured that making one of the most important decisions of my life requires a lot more thought than people seemed to be giving it, and shouldn't be based on emotion as is quite common.. .

Interesting video "ex jw elders meeting"

by yourmomma in

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi7az1ahhda&feature=mfu_in_order&list=ul.

this is a long series.

im finding more and more that jw's are so illequiped for debate, that they cant even make coherent arguments.

My dad has hells bells as his ringtone !!!

by elder-schmelder in

my dad is a very active elder/pioneer and works in the same office as me (family business).. his cell phone rings and the ring tone is ac/dc "hells bells" !!!

i just asked him if that is the same song that i sat in an elders meeting over, he said "i dont remember that".. .

i guess that they have different rules on heavy metal then when i was a teenager.

Got Disfellowshipped!

by time2keepmoving in

well, i was disfellowshipped about 2 weeks ago.

i was in it for ten years and it was 9 years and 11 months too long.

i honestly don't know why it took me so long to do my research on this organization.

Congrats on your df'ing, hope you can get your relaive out, and welcome to JWN! If this isn't a violation of privacy, I'm wondering if you being a jw is what broke up your marriage.

At one time my mom and I were both pioneers. She considered resigning to care for her father in law who had cancer. A ms approachd me about talking her out of it. I told them it was none of my business, and although he wasn't a jw, he was a nice old guy. Someone must've gotten to her, because she and her husband wound up putting him in a nursing home. Poor old dude, he just cried and cried about being put away.

Don't lose heart, my sweet girl. First of all, you're still young enough for pregnancy to be possible Second of all, there are many children who are already here and being born everyday who need parents. I was 24 when I was df'd and had plenty of time to have children, but I didn't want them. Stll I helped to raise two stepkids, and now I'm reaping the rewards of grandchildren, four, yes four little girls!

Once you put yourself out there, you'll meet some marvelous man. It's bound to happen, as you are cute as a button and sweet as sugar. Then you two can f^@k like bunnies and either make a baby bunny or go out and adopt one, LOL!

JW Child Abuser Must Warn Parents of His Conviction

by jamiebowers in

http://www.burtonmail.co.uk/news/child-abuser-is-locked-up-26012012.htm.

paul wood, 40, assaulted the girls, aged between 10 and 15, at his home, in a car and at a disused airfield.. wood, of station road, woodville, was found guilty of nine indecent assaults but cleared of a rape allegation made by one of the girls.. the sex offender, who committed his crimes while living in suffolk in the 1990s, claimed his two victims had made up' their evidence.. judge david goodin, sentencing at ipswich crown court, said: "you were a young man but they are most serious offences.".

prosecutors claimed during wood's trial last year he had forced himself on the underage girls in sudbury, suffolk, between 1993 and 1998.. steven dyble, defending, told the court wood was a man of previous good character who had done his best to live an industrious life'.. wood's last offence was committed in 1998. mr dyble said: "during the last 14 years, there has been no suggestion of any inappropriate behaviour.".

Is this guy a Jehovah Witness?

Yes he is. I'm sorry...I failed to copy and paste the first sentence of the article found below:

A PAEDOPHILE Jehovah's Witness who abused young girls has been thrown behind bars for three-and-a-half years.
