what i have learned as the year as progressed and as christmas gets closer is quite the opposite.. as it turns out, my wife and i never learned how to give gifts and to shop for other people, neither have my kids.

Problem is my 10y.o. son is mostly into computer games and I really want to try and get him more into sports and outdoor activities. Any suggestions on a gift that could help accomplish this?

How about a Wii? He'll get exercise and exposure to some sports that may motivate him to play in real life.

Another benefit to being an ex-jw

this year my wife, kids and i are celebrating christmas and birthdays for the first time.

having been a born-in, i was raised to believe that these events were not only pagan in origin, but also self-promoting and greedy.

what i have learned as the year as progressed and as christmas gets closer is quite the opposite.. as it turns out, my wife and i never learned how to give gifts and to shop for other people, neither have my kids.

That's great! Finding the perfect gift for someone is so much fun.

That bus driver in Cleveland should get an award. Beautifully executed uppercut.

she had that one comin to her.

she's lucky he didnt stomp her out as he had plenty of time to really hurt her.

She was raising hell with the driver while the bus was in motion. If I would've been the driver, I would've stopped the bus and pushed that nasty bitch out. She deserved what he gave her, and his only mistake was NOT pressing charges after he whipped her ass!

If this goes to court, either civilly or criminally, I can't imagine a jury of Clevelanders finding him guilty. Years ago I lived in the eastern suburbs of Cleveland and thankfully was in much better shape than I am now, and had to get physical a few times with nutjobs like the thing in the video. When someone invades your personal space and is screaming at you with insulting language, you have no idea what you'll do. I think the driver trash talking with that thing was just a way to get her to back down. Unfortunately for her, she didn't. As a matter of fact, she came back for more after he threw her off the bus.

I read in an article that she put her hands around his throat and either choked him or tried to choke him. Just because he works for RTA doesn't mean he has to put up with being verbally and physically attacked. I hope she goes to jail and has to pay out for a civil suit. People, and I use the term loosely, like her, shouldn't be out in the streets, but since she was roaming free in society, she got her just deserts.

Gotcha Liar!!! Help needed dealing with deceptive JW.

by trailerfitter in

yep jws are supposed to be honest aren't they?

they are liars decivers and most of all encourage hate in family circles whilst pretending they are the victims.

anyone who makes out they are a victim is a coward!

jamiebowers

Please stop trying to out her as a liar. She's doing a fine job of that by herself, and in front of your son, no less! Focus your efforts on a court ordered custody and visitation arrangement. Keep good records, and if she violates them, the courts will sort out her deceptions. Once your child reaches a certain age, he can choose which parent he wants to live with. Just be there for him, and bide your time.

Lawsuits against the WTBTS....

by Snoozy in

i would love to see a thread that strictly listed lawsuits against the wtbts..enclosing actual referrals and newspaper clipping if possible for authenticity .surely they can't hush them all up... snoozy... .

Barbara Anderson's website watchtowerdocuments has court records to sex abuse lawsuits against the Watchtower dating back to 1964, I believe. And I'm pretty sure she has documented recent cases as well.
