I'll pot this thread on the FB pages of a few ex-jws from Cleveland to see if they knew her.

ON NOW 20/20 Jaycee Dugard kidnapping by Jehovah's Witness couple the Gulardos -update

by Balaamsass in

on right now (possibly on website) jc dugard update.

gulardos were assigned to same hall as current candice conti abuser antioch ca/brentwood, ca hall..

I watched this episode of 20/20, and it said that Nancy was a jw but didn't mention him being one. However, anyone with any information about jws would know that he took a lot of jw ideas for his own religion. Back when this case first broke, I posted an article about him asking if he could be a jw, because of the many similar beliefs.

Sparlockgate - the YouTube copyright clampdown continues!

by cedars in

you may remember some time ago i released a song entitled "sparlock we love you" on youtube.. the song was a parody of the "become jehovah's friend" dvd, and became very popular - with well over 10,000 views last time i checked.. i did consider the possibility that the society would complain on grounds of copyright infringement, because i used some specially-altered versions of images on the dvd, such as the one below.... .

however, i shrugged this off, because i thought even the society wouldn't be as petty as to publically complain about the way the images were used.. nevertheless, they did.

today i got the following email.... dear john cedars,we have disabled the following material as a result of a third-party notification from watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvanias, claiming that this material is infringing:.

Cedars, Phin Treptow posted the same YT warning. Do you know if it was about your video or his?

...but this is a major one because she is permanently changing her visible features...

Outsmartthesystem, as I stated in an earlier post, my stepson wore those awful gauges for probably a year. The holes were HUGE! Just this morning I carefully examined his earlobes, (he thought I'd gone completely crazy until I explained why I was doing it), and his earlobes are normal.

Anyone watch "Grimm" ?

by Glander in

i have never seen an episode but my wife loves the show.

we just heard today that our 18 yr. old granddaughter will be an extra in an episode filming now.

guess i'll have to watch it.

Better than "True Blood" - at least, in remaining somewhat 'true' to the original mythologies.

Zid, don't tell me you're dissing True Blood. Oh, it hurts my heart, dear friend! I am obsessed with that show. And at least it gets people thinking about mythology. I've looked up tons of stuff to learn more about it.

Love, love, love that show! The premise, the writing, the acting are all great. Plus it's kind of a home grown production. It's filmed in Portland, and the lead actor and tons of extras live there.

Edited to add: Let us know when your granddaughter will be on and what part she's playing, so we'll be sure to look for her.

Unexpected conversation with a long time JW friend (in good standing)

by OneDayillBeFree in

so tonight after the meeting, this brother whome i've grown up with invited me to eat.

he had come almost an hour late to the meeting and looked kind of down and a bit depressed.

i agreed to go eat.. there was very little talking at first.

jamiebowers

You did that perfectly! While encouraging him to fade, you avoided any hint of apostasy. So if he changes his mind about disappearing or goes back after doing so, he can't rat you out.

It would probably be much easier on you and your daughter if her mother and stepfather kick her out. Your daughter refusing to remove the gauges is an indication that she wants to leave. So, if it happens, go pick her up and move her in with you. But be forewarned; pick your battles with teenagers. Having helped to raise two of them, (a girl and a boy), gauges, going Goth, piercings, and tattoos are trivial. Save your fight for alcohol abuse, birth control, drug abuse, and eating disorders.

My stepson wore HUGE gauges in his ears. It looked like shit, and I worried about infection. But he removed them when he got tired of them, and seven years later, his earlobes are fine.
