  History has shown that apostate activities cannot have any effect on WT policies either on child abuse or domestic policies, even Ray Franz and Barbara Anderson couldnt influence matters when they were at the core of the JW administrative affairs, so how do you think internet peddlers could affect any change in any manner?.

  I don't mind being called an apostate. Here is the definition: One who has abandoned one's religious faith, a political party, one's principles, or a cause. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/apostate

  I couldn't be happier to shine a light on this vile corporation. The governing body is either too arrogant or too delusional, or both, to change their policies, but people on this type of forum are here to help others as they leave the cult behind. The fact that those who are leaving aren't alone is going to be the downfall of the Watch Tower.

  Stupid question from a non-native speaker

  by Nika Bee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello i am relatively new here, and i apologise for my english in advance.. this is a very irrelevant and probably very stupid question: what does the word "borg" mean, or where does it come from?

  i understand it's used for the organisation, but i don't get why.. also, where does "kool aid" come from?.

  thanks and sorry again!.

  Hello I am relatively new here, and I apologise for my English in advance.

  It always cracks me up when foreigners say this, because they almost always write in English better than those of us who grew up speaking it.

  "cracks me up" translation: makes me laugh

  Do you think it's sad Ted Jaracz is not here to reap what he sowed.

  .

  after all jaracz was in charge of the service dept which formulated and enforced the silence rules and others which are now a source of such pain for the watchtower.. shame he died without having to face the consequences.

  Watchtower policy history timeline, victim's action against pedophile?

  by FatFreek 2005 in

  1. social
  2. current

  i'm working on an essay to release to the gazette but want to make sure i have my ducks in a row.. i wonder if someone can point me to a history timeline of watchtower policy as respects treatment of pedophiles, actions of victims and how they cannot divulge identities of offenders to others, phone calls (anonymous) by elders to authorities from public phone booths, etc.. the board understandably is flooded with the latest on the 26 million dollar settlement (it hit our arkansas democrat gazette this morning), so it's kinda tough for me to piece things together in orderly fashion.

  This apostate wants the Watch Tower to end their atrocious policies on child abuse and domestic violence.

  I know this must be scary for you, but it's as routine as having morning coffee for the doctors involved. Just think of that when you start to feel anxious. Sending good thoughts your way.

  Edited to add: The time to feel anxious is if you start mooing, LOL! Hey, here are wishes for a speedy recovery!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Rodney King Dead at 47

  by NewChapter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  they found him in the bottom of the swimming pool.

  for those that are younger than me, king was beaten by police and it was caught on video.

  it went to trial, and the officers were acquitted, which led to the race riots in la in 1992.. .

  Some of you aren't going to like this news, but here goes...

  rick simons, candace conti's attorney, will be interviewed on the six screens of the watchtower conference phone line this evening.

  there's a good chance that candace will join in, but that's not set in stone.

  the host of the program, rick, told me to tell everybody that he is learning how to calm down and to do better on these conference calls.

  Kudra asks: Who is that hella old-sounding man?

  I believe that is the voice of Richard Rawe, (pronounced Raway)

  Belbab, I posted a link to Richard Rawe's history earlier in this thread, (16 posts up). I'm glad someone else mentioned him. I only know him from the conference calls but have quite an admiration for him. He was df'd in 1975 and still hasn't lost his fire despite all the years gone by, his advanced age, and health problems.

  Med Saver Card in the US for Those without RX Coverage

  this is not spam.

  i don't get paid to post this link.

  i was doing research on prescription assistance plans and ran across this.

  This is not SPAM. I don't get paid to post this link. I was doing research on prescription assistance plans and ran across this. Although there are many assistance programs in Ohio where we live, most of them are based on income and do not cover some of the medications that my husband has to take. He just got the two most expensive ones filled and by using this card, he saved 55%, and this was at Walmart, where prescription are already cheaper than most pharmacies. The Med Saver card is not based on income, covers lots of medications, and is accepted at most pharmacies. The price is only the cost of the ink and paper needed to print a copy of the card.

  I hope this is helpful to anyone out there who is in the same situation as we are, unemployed and uninsured. My husband and I are both on medications that we will have to take for the rest of our lives, so this discovery has really helped us out. Here is the link:
