  Shared Child Abuse News with JW about Nancy Garrido being a JW

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  went to the post office the other day and saw this older jw , an elder, was outside holding the wall up leaning on it while being frozen standing there like a mannequin holding watchtowers and awakes .

  i had one of my news releases from a sociologist explaining that phillip garrido used nancy garrido and the jehovah's witnesses to get out of prison so he could have access to children for sexual crimes ; thus enabling him in 1991 to kidnap jaycee dugard.

  the title of the article is : " sex offender phillip garrido used jehovah's witnesses to get early parole ".

  How come people with the least means of supporting themselves ''Pioneer'' ?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my cousin told me last week that for the month of february she was ''pioneering''.

  here is a person who was divorced 2 years ago and had to move in with her mom because she can't afford to live on her own .she only works 4 days a week.

  she pays $600 every 2 months for health insurance because she is self-employed.

  Believe it or not I remember the elders telling one "certified mentally ill" (as in she has been diagnosed but according to an Awake mag she read which said those kinds of meds are not good for you didn' take them) that instead of going to college part time and Pioneering (grown women with teenage daughter at the time) she should get a job, suppported her self I guess from child support and living with sis in law.

  As much as I hate to admit it, I guess that's a score One for the Elders . . . .

  Anybody see Oprah tonight?

  she had on the children of the mother and father who kidnapped elizabeth smart.

  interesting to hear them say that when they were growing up they were raised in a religious household, how they were only allowed to watch national geographic shows, how the mother (and stepfather) physically/mentally abused them.

  the kids have nothing to do with mom now, one son even mentioned he saw her at the mall and wanted his mom to meet her grandson but she stepped away and wouldn't acknowledge them, stepfather showed nude pictures to one of the daughters while the children had to do their required two hours of praying everyday .

  Injuries at Assemblies, who covers the cost

  by CaptainSchmideo in

  well, i knew it would happen, and i wasn't surprised when it did.. a friend of mine, older brother with a heart condition, was assisting in shoveling snow at the circuit assembly this weekend (suit and tie, no less!

  ) and slipped on the ice and cracked a couple of his ribs.. what is the likelihood that the circuit or society will assist or cover his medical bills?

  any takers on this?.

  FORMERLY from Hollis Congregation in Jamaica, Queens, New York

  I take the name Shirley W from one of the "40 plus year female roomate" couples that went to Hollis, I remember first meeting them when I was about nine or ten years old. . . . I turned 52 this past December. . . . . go figure . . . they're still "strong in the truth" (LOL) but now attend another congregation and still run their Alvanos Piano School in the Jamaica, Queens section. The other member of this lovely couple used to pioneer for decades. . . but I'm sure there are other stories you all could tell me from all parts of the world that sound exactly the same!

  Well, first of all, I think you should share what channel the program was aired on, such as PBS, or what have you, so we can all look out for the show and watch so we can all add our views on the show . . . right . . . ??
