  Jail and losing your license are worse than being shunned by a bunch of crazy cult members.

  i have a feeling i am going to have to explain to my jw folks why i have decided to allow my children to participate in holidays at school.

  theyll probably be wondering too why i will get together with our non jw family for the holidays.. .

  we know jws avoid holidays because of their pagan origins.

  Better dead than df'd, I guess. Using those people's deaths as commercial for the cult.

  Am I the only one that Cannot PAY ATTENTION to Jehovah?

  now i hate to sound as add as i am, but usually if i read something twice i can make myself focus if i am wandering.

  but everytime i start to read anything that has something to do with the wtbts i cannot get it even after repeated attempts.

  it is as if charlie browns mom is right in my ear and my mind will not register.

  If a good witness read this thread he would say the Holy Spirit was blocking us from the light because we are all demonized. LOL

  I thought that too. Yes, it is very diffiult to get through their literature--takes a lot of effort on my part.

  Even if the elder did turn the guy in, I'm thinking the only reason he did was because the guy was on probation with the court system. Can you imagine the fallout if this guy molested again in the congregation, and the kid spoke up to the police? No, I don't believe the WTB&TS has changed their evil stance on protecting pedophiles. About a month ago I spoke to a ms who said his elder father was told that he was on his own when he went to the police about reported abuse.

  Until I hear about a massive number of jws talking about all of the pedophiles being exposed to the congregations, I won't believe that their policies have changed.

  does the word "speculate" have some special, derogatory meaning for jws?

  Speculation can cause thinking independent of the WTB&TS, so it is discouraged.

  why are there so many old women in jw world who are so down on men?

  my divorce will be finalized next month, it hurt me, but it was and is an unfortunate circumstance of life.

  but among the jw women it was assumed that i was happy my marriage had ended so now i would have more time for meetings and field service.

  Why are there so many old women in JW World who are so down on men?

  Because chances are good they were very mistreated by their jw husbands. I can't remember what thread it was on or who said it, but recently somebody said that the more spiritual a jw man appeared, the greater chance that he was a wife beater. I found that to be true in my marriage and in a lot of others.

  Ok, thanks. I already have her commentary--been working on my editor of a weekly newspaper to write a review of it this fall while I also start a letter writing campaign to school boards about "Knocking" being shown in schools.
