  not meaning to take away from minimus posting, but i have a quite interesting experience i'd like to share with my "ex borg brothers and sisters".

  just want to say first off the feeling that ran through my mind when i gave the dr. the ok to give my mom blood, and she just has a minor procedure .

  i tell you, those jehoobers do a number on your brain, especially if you were rasied within the fantasy.. day after her operation, needless to say sis.

  Any Old TImers remember Awake (early 1960's) saying JW's could vote ?

  b-deserters post reminded me of something that was posted quite some time ago, matter of fact, it could've been posted on tishies board, if some of us here remember her website.

  a poster on her website quoted the exact date of an awake magazine going back to the early 1960's which clearly stated that jw's could vote if they wanted to, conscious was not mentioned in the article !!.

  i went down to my mother's basement, looked up the exact date that was mentioned, and sure enough there it was in plain black and white, jw's had the vote!!

  (Former) Sis. Sherrie Shepard, currently of "The View"

  mentioned this morning that she was brought up in the borg but left because of the teachings about 1914 and 1975, but the main thing that did it for her was when her father was df'd was she was told she couldn't speak to him, sounds like some of us here.

  joy asked her which of her parents wast the first one to join and she said her mother (isn't that the way it always is) and then later her father came in.

  mentioned how she hated the false service and they used to put her in front hoping they wouldn't slam the door in the face of a child.

  JW Abuse on NBC Nightly News admit didn't contact authorities

  by ShirleyW in

  2. child-abuse

  i hope someone other than me, saw nbc nightly news with brian williams, they finally admitted that 7 or 10 elders have sexually abused children, but i'm so f&(&^ pissed with them probably can't quote word for word, they admiited they never contact authorities, alvin heard, james henderson, just two names they mentioned, admitted to wrongdoing, along with the others, but police never contacted !!!.

  barb anderson was interviewed as well, needless to say, she supported how the "holier than thou witnesses act when child abuse is charged,, they act like nothing happened.

  society even admitted that they rarely contacted aurhotrities with child abuse charges !!

  For the old timers

  way, way back in 1962, when i was four years old and my family relocated from harlem to queens, ny, our tuesday night book study, as it used to be called way back when almost universally in jw land, was conducted by a woman !!

  please don't think i don't remember correctly because of my young age at the time, but the sis.

  who conducted it is still alive, and i practically know her whole family.

  illegal cable

  by ShirleyW in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have any of you (especially those familiar with the jw's in the jamaica, queens congs in nyc) heard of the dubs subscribing to illegal cable.

  about ten or so years ago there was a big scam in the queens area with a couple of elders who ran a bogus insurance scam, some were df'd, was even mentioned here on the board, around that time a sister who is a hairdresser/teacher told me that she and her family had illegal hbo, why she pointed out that it was illegal i'll never know, but was just wondering did some " smart, insightful follower of jehovah" figure out a way for the christian bros and sis to get pay channels without paying?

  i know for a fact that this family has been caught up with because they can no longer subscribe to hbo even if they wanted to (legitimally) through time warner, unless they were given a certain amount of years and the time has run out.. another thing that gets my goat with this christian family is that as mentioned above the wife is a special ed teacher, doesn't that take a certain amount of years of college?

  Our sappho sisters

  by ShirleyW in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are two sisters that have been roomates for, i would say about forty years now, who live in the queens area of nyc who run a music studio teaching young children piano, etc.. i'm almost fifty and they're one of the few "couples" that i remember as a child that are still together.. what the heck is going on here, bethel lurkers if you read this, why are they allowed to be in good standing with jehoo all these years when it's obvious what's going on.

  i even asked my mother if one of her relatives had a roommate for more than 40 years and you were questioned about their relationship what would you say, and believe it or not that's one of the few times she couldn't come up with an answer to defend the cult.

  even their personalities are that of a same sex couple.. i'm sure the general answer is "jehoo will take care of in time" but that just proves it's all bs.. do you guys know of any such couplings in your former kh ?
