they are very large and powerful.
Dinah,
No I was'nt. I was actually visiting witless friends. However I had a massive effect on field service, because I was so obsessed, I could tell by looking at a front garden whther they had a big dog and I wouldnt go to that door! LOL!

Hi,
I got chased by two dobermans when I was a small girl, I've never forgottne the fear I felt when that happended, and have never/ will never won a large dog because of it.
In August I bought an English Springer Spaniel pup. He's now 7 months old, and the largest dog I've ever owned. On one of his early walks, just after he'd had his vaccinations, a boxer dog came chasing up behind us. In retrospect, I know this dog just wanted to have a sniff and play, but my pup lay on his back and screamed, and my first reaction was to protect him from the big dog! The owner was really considerate and came running to pull his larger dog away, but I promise you my heart was pounding, my hands shaking at the experience.
I think as dog owners, we must keep out dogs on a leash AT ALL TIMES. It provides peace of mind to all other dog owners, it protects our own animals (if theyre a bit tempremential).
Just my two penneth

i watched the programme on channel 4 tonight called " the end of world cult", and had an idea what it would be like but i was still badly affected by it.
perhaps it's the way i am feeling at the moment, but to see the self-named michael travesser proclaiming himself to be the son of god was mortifying.
he manipulated his pathetic deciples (mainly women), for his own narsistic perversions, while they obeyed his every whim with glazed expressions.
Whoops, sorry, been working a late shift/ hit the wrong button!!!
Maddie,
I agree, they all us ethe same threats.. armageddon/ eternal damnation ect. They are still cult's
I'm so happy I free from it!

Tildy,
you may well have to do some greiving, its, sadly, part and parcel of exiting the borg.
But we'll be here for you in those troubling times.
And at the end you'll feel so much stronger.
Many (((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))

Hi Maddie,
I watched this program too. Also noticed the glazed expresions of his followers.
I was painfull to watch, but IMHO, I dont think the dubs are on the same scale as this nut bag.
Maybe dubs are members of a different scale/kind of cult?
Feedback?

did you want to belong to a social club but couldn't because it was "worldly" and witnesses don't get involved with the world?.
did you not go to college simply because witnesses say it's bad?.
did you deprive your kids of things because you were a "good jw"?.
I know that most of the replies you have had have been very specific. Mine may seem a bit more vague, but I mean it all the same.
I really regret that it took 37 years for me to finally be me and free.
But I'm happy now and that all that counts.

can i please state that i hate absolutley no one on this board.
i would appear that me having a different opinion in certain things, has lead certain people to think i hate them.. this is absolutley not true.
we are all survivors!
Gregor,
you summed it up well.
Lets all get a bit tougher!
