A thread for those who have no support system or a place to go due to shunning.
by ohiocowboy inreading the recent thread about the young lady who just ended her life got me thinking that maybe there could be a thread that is easily accessible to anyone who may need help due to homelessness from losing their families and friends to shunning.
too often i hear stories about people who have lost everything, and have no where to go, and at the same time having no type of support system.
unfortunately there are some who are so lost that they feel that there are no options besides taking their own life.. i think that a website that matches people in need to others who can help in some way would be a great idea.

All good advice, but if you're going to bake or grill meat, please buy a meat thermometer and look up the temperatures on line. You might also consider purchasing a small crock pot. They're wonderful for cheap cuts of beef roast, and you can throw in some carrots and potatoes. It can cook during the day, and your feast will be ready when you get home. To make chili in the crock pot, use tomato soup or spaghetti sauce. Add the canned kidney beans, and let it simmer on low all day. Fry and drain the hamburger and add it to the mixture in the crock pot when you get home. Corn bread is easy to make if you get the Jiffy brand in a box.
Boiling boneless, skinless chicken breast and adding a can of cream of chicken soup after the chicken is tender makes great creamed chicken. You can buy the biscuits in a can or boil some egg noodles to go with it. Baking pork chops with cream of mushroom soup is good too.
You probably don't have a lot of storage bowls, so freezer bags will be your best friend in the kitchen. You can use them to repackage large packages of meat you find on sale as well as to store leftovers.
Making a turkey or pork roast isn't difficult, and you can store individual servings in freezer bags to eat as a meat for dinner or to make sandwiches and salads with, (which is a lot healtheir than deli meat).
Depending upon what kind of kitchen set up you have, you'll need to invest in a few pots and pans. If you have no oven and have a fondness for large meats and poultries, you may want to invest in a roaster. My husband just bought me one a few months ago for $29. I can make a 22-lb turkey or a whole pork roast in it.
Go to the dollar store and get your spices...cheap, cheap, cheap! Onion soup mix is great with ground beef. They also have steak and chicken seasonings.
You can even make desserts without a mixer or oven. Google the recipe for No Bake Cookies. Pudding can be cooked in a small sauce pan or shaken in a closed containter and then chilled, (just make sure to note whether the box says cook and serve or instant).

There was a guy right here in my little town who fell for the re-shipping scheme. If I remember correctly, items were shipped to his address, and then he would re-ship them elsewhere. As it turned out, the items were ordered with stolen credit information. Although the police knew he was duped, he was still arrested. There was nothing else in the news about it, so I don't know what happened to the poor guy.

Spanish congregations District Assembly / rides for the kids.
by jam inany truth to this.
the spanish brothers in texas (da).

I'm really surprised that the convention site would allow rides for kids due to insurance concerns. I'm not surprised, though, that the Spanish speaking jws would do something like that. The few who I knew were much friendlier and more family oriented than English speaking jws.

It's the title of his new book. I was chatting with him on Facebook the other day. I'll zip over there now and message him about using Google Chrome.
Edited to add: Got him on Facebook, and he said he'll be back once he can get on Google Chrome.

Hare Krishnas? I Know This Site Is For JW But . . .
by InterestedOne ini have learned a lot about cults on this site and cannot thank you all enough for helping me get a sense of what is going on with my jw acquaintance.
as it turns out, another friend of mine told me she goes to the hare krishna temple.
she is a wonderful person, and we have been spending time together having long conversations.

She said a pedo coverup would not necessarily stop someone from wanting to go to Penn State or play football there.
WOW, what a poor comparison. Attending Penn State as a student or even as a football player doesn't put you under the influence of child molesters or people who covered up for them. If the stories in the press are to be believed, all of the bad guys are gone. And usually college classes encourage students to develop critical thinking skills. The same can't be said for Hare Krishnas.

Local Needs?
by Rawrities inwhat are the "local needs"?
they are addressed to the congregation right?
i am still in, and attended the meeting during the week.
-

jamiebowers
I would be interested to know what the talk was about. For instance, was it just about how sinful it is, or was there advice on how to protect kids from child molesters? Have you checked the registry that Aware posted for your congregation's geographical area? If no one is listed there, why not ask the elders who/what the talk was about and why it wasn't reported to authorities?

"we were just talking...shes not free to remarry...we werent flirting or doing anything wrong"
by WuzLovesDubs inthats what my soon to be exhusband just said to me.
i finally after 25 years of dealing with him and the jws and a litany of other shit, told him two weeks ago i want out.
he wrote me a letter this week and made a list of allllll the things he hates: about my beliefs, the fact that i left jehovah, broke my vows to god, my hobbies, celebrations, what i watch on tv, my parenting, keeping the kids out of the jws, not having any friends....and then said well i dont hate "you".

It's been said that the opposite of love isn't hate, but indifference. You would do well to become as indifferent as possible towards this man. He sounds like he's toxic. You have nothing to worry about compared to him about the future. Once you're divorced, you can go on with your life and do whatever, (or whoever), you want. He's not in the same boat. Not only does he have to prove adultery on your part, but his girlfriend has to do the same with her MIA ex-husband.
Please just focus on the divorce and your safety. Don't count on him to be a decent human being in any respect. He is, after all, not only a mind controlled cult member but also an alcoholic and wife beater.

Seriously, blah blah blah is all I saw when I read this. Good job on making assumptions and deciding threats are the way to deal with the crime against humanity of leaning against a car.
Despite fantasies of violence and ass kickings going on around here that seem more common than a 13 year old boy having wet dreams, the response was wholly inappropriate to situation.
It's too bad you weren't there, because apparently you would've flawlessly handled the situation. After all, you've done such a fabulous job taking Fakesmile's story and yourself way too seriously.
