  Your videos are really well made, and I'm certain they've done a lot for ex and exiting jws. But you have to do what is best for you. Take a break, and then if you want to carry on with the videos, maybe you can find a partner to help you out and keep the stress levels down. Have a great summer!

  OMG, Magwitch, that pose in your photo was the same one I tried to do years ago when I was young and trim. Well, even at my trimmest, my butt was huge, and I almost suffocated, because I couldn't get back into a prone position before my air was cut off. LOL, I had to rock myself out of that position, and all I could think of while I was doing it was that my landlandy was going to find me dead with my big ass up in the air!

  hello wounderfull people, i would like to thank everyone for they help before, but i still need moral support, i have made my mind up and i want to thanks a member of the aussie team olympic team for responding to my email.

  it really means a lot for me when i don't have any real friends when a olympic athlete responds to your email and cares.

  she gave me good advice and told me it's possible even thought my situation is hard, that really gave me hope and it was that push that i need to start thinking seriously.

  If you continue to have suicidal thoughts, please see your school counselor. As difficult as your life is now, it will be a blip in time once you're grown up and on your own.

  The WTS' claims of clergy penitant privilege is ridiculous. The privilege is connected solely when the "sinner"/accused goes to his clergyperson and confesses his sin. This is very rarely the case.

  With the WItnesses it is most often the victim that goes to the clergy-person and makes a complaint. In this situation privilege does NOT apply. The victim actually wants helps to deal with the problem and expects the clergyperson to do something to resolve the issue which would naturally involve talking to other people.

  The WTS has incorrectly claimed this privilege. I have a hard time understanding why they keep trying to get away with this.

  Exactly, Lady Lee. And the rotten bastards got away with in this case. See updated article below:

  'Not guilty' verdict in Tinian child sex abuse case

  By Ferdie de la Torre
  Reporter

  A Superior Court jury came back yesterday with a not-guilty verdict on a 27-year-old man accused of sexually abusing a girl in 2004.

  This developed as the prosecution decided yesterday not to call to the witness stand three ministers or elders of the Tinian congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses in the trial of Geoffrey K. Cabrera.

  After deliberating for almost four hours, the Tinian Superior Court jurors reached a verdict that found Cabrera not guilty of sexual abuse in the second degree.

  Associate Judge David A. Wiseman presided over the trial.

  Joseph N. Camacho, court-appointed counsel for Cabrera, told Saipan Tribune last night that they are thankful to the jurors for their time and their deliberations.

  "We extend our appreciation to the hard working staff of the Tinian courthouse and to the judiciary," Camacho said.

  Jehovah's Witnesses Tinian congregation ministers Bob Morie, Emyl Lumba, and Dwight Manglona earlier asked the Superior Court to quash the subpoena that commands them to appear at the jury trial, saying this would be burdensome and oppressive since it requires the disclosure of privileged and protected information.

  The alleged victim and defendant are members of Jehovah's Witnesses.

  Cabrera was accused of sexually abusing a then 14-year-old girl in May 2004 on Tinian.

  The Watchtower lost that arguement in the Gilbert Simental case in California. There is no "privilege", because more than one elder hears the confession, and then it is reported to the Watchtower. These no good, dirty, rotten bastards have no conscience when it comes to molested children.

  mine was terrific.

  loving visits, cards, dinner, and togetherness.

  i know if i had remained a witness, at least one of my children would have left the borg, and we would probably not have the beautiful relationship we now have.
