with the news that the killers of jamie bulger have been released, it would be interesting to know how people feel.. from the mcveigh thread it seems that many americans believe the death penalty would have been appropriate.. i do not know whether many in the us know of the case in britain of a 2 year old being tortured and murdered by two 10 year olds.
but now 8 years later they have been released.. i know of the arguments that they have been rehabilitated since killing jamie bulger.....but is this really justice?
Thank you Querty for putting up the web site.
Too much money has been spent on protecting those murderers. They should have served their sentences at least. Since they have been released, people have the right to know what they look like. They deserve to live in fear.
There are far too people worrying about looking after vicious thugs, and not the poor victim or his family.
Also, with their sadistic streaks, who will protect society from them?

I wish I had a nickel for every mile the WTS has milked from the only scripture in the bible that mentions meetings.But the bible doesn't say go to meetings, the NWT says in Hebrews 10
24 And let us consider one another to love and fine works, 25 not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you behold the day drawing near'Gathering ourselves together' can include the 2 or 3 gathered together in Jesus' name.

just finished reading the august 1, 2001 watchtower.
the second study article is entitled how to make your advancement manifest.
well, after quoting ephesians 4:11-14, heres what paragraphs 8 and 9 advise:first, since oneness is to be observed, a mature christian must be in unity and full harmony with fellow believers as far as faith and knowledge are concerned.
This might be a little hard to enforce.
He does notadvocate or insist on personal opinions or harbor private ideas when it comes to Bible understandingJust imagine having to take a lie detector test while being asked questions about your private ideas or personal opinions at the end of every meeting. Ultimate brainwashing and mind control.

just so certain ladies do not feel alone in cringedom i will confess my red-cheekers !.
i was a well-developed 15 yr old getting too volupteous for my school uniform ( ok too fat then) and the zip had bust on my only school skirt.
my mum replaced it using an old zip from another garment which happened to be quite a bit longer than a normal skirt zip.an unmarried brother came to visit one morning and was sat in our living room having a cuppa while i was frantically getting ready for school.
Free, thanks for sharing. As Francois said, it always happens to the bashful ones. As Tracy says
You've got more balls than a woman's got a right to, sharing such embarassing stuff with us. I have been laughing sooooo hard. Hey sweetie....don't worry about the spare tire thing...trust me...all they saw was the "enormous boobs".
I have also been laughing so hard. I love the way you told your stories, too. Thanks again

Those two enticed Jamie, just an innocent toddler to go with them, then tortured and murdered him.
That shows they have a very sadistic inclinations.
ISP, you said
But life is not going to be any slam dunk for these 2. They will live in fear of anyone uncovering their identities. Their recent pictures have been leaked already and they have to be in constant contact with their parole officers. They also have to box clever when people inquire what they have been upto these last 6 years or so. Some people , i.e. local parole officers and clerical workers will know their identity etc. It is a matter of time before the info gets on the net or something.
I hope so!!

i have just read amazing's 'tribute to a circuit overseer', and it set me to wondering how many co's actually have the commonsense displayed by harry snow.. esther
Thirdson, thank you.
When I first associated with JWs, there were actually a couple of COs that I liked. They were very friendly with everyone, as far as I knew. The congregation was very small, so the COs visited us, and none of them put on airs or anything like that. However, I was not baptised at the time, so I didn't know much of what was going on.

i was raised a poor white child in the deep south...ok, florida, where i still am.
i was the typical slightly self righteous witness, miss goody goody, left school at 16 to pioneer, which i did for 4 years, met a guy and married him.
he had 2 kids from a previous marriage and we had 2 kids of our own.
Tracy, thanks for telling your story. You have overcome a lot to gain your present happiness. Long may it continue. It is really good that you have and Doug have each other, and Dana and her family, too.
It's strange, isn't it, that a lot of pain and unhappiness is caused by this religion, but it takes a while to realise where that pain is coming from? It has been nice 'talking' to you in chat.
Troucul, it is nice to 'meet' you. Thank you for your story.
