I'm pleased to hear your Mom did the right thing. My cousin, ,basically raised a JW, who I loved dearly, apolagized for their abusive behaviour to me shortly before they committed suicide.

I never have done right by you...
by Sparkplug inin talking to my mom the other day (who is doing so well btw) she turned to me and said straight and as sane as can be, "i have never done right by you, don't do as i have done to you to you kids.
" she got teary eyed and i changed the subject fast because i did not know how to take it nor could i talk with the big lump in my throat.
i have known this my whole life, and i don't even speak it as plain as she has spoken it, but hearing out of her mouth as she sits in her wheelchair and knowing she means it from her heart and from pure love, well it messed me up a bit.

Went to Mormon Temple today
by pollyana into hear a prophet speak.
ya, ya this is joe hoover's playground but....learning about species 8179 can only add more perspective (and ammunition) to combat the warped world of joe hoover.

Morg Elders have been knocking (hmm, is that a JW registered trademark?) on a friend's door since January. She was afraid to go alone, especially after her and I checked some ex-mormon sites on Saturday. So, did the Morg loosen their rules to let us in their Temple to hear their prophet? We read about the recommend on-line but don't fully understand how you get one. In any event, the elders who've been pestering my friend got us in.

Well, you tell me. Did Jehovah or Elihom wreck vengeance upon me? Yesterday, the Temple visit went well as I said. I went to sleep after my post and woke up at 5 AM dripping sweat. That's weird because I'm in a temperate climate. So something was making my house really hot and humid. I discovered the hot water line to my dishwasher had split and hot water was pouring into the kitchen and then seeping through the floor to my finished basement. What a mess I have to fix. What to do? I can't arrange for the Borg and Morg to meet at my place because of the mess it's in. So, is this a sign not to mess around with religion? Or simply a co-incidence?

From all I've read about the WTS I was afraid, terribly afraid. Shared Scitless actually to enter a KH alone. So I thought messing with the Mormon's heads might be fun. And far less dangerous. Boy, was I in for a surprise. Big time. I feel lucky I escaped with a few functional brain cells intact.
I intro'd myself as Joe Hoover. Got It? Good. None of the Moroms did.
I was enthralled (between vomiting profusely while the "prophet driveled nonsense".) When that [deleted] spectacle was over I hung around and made myself invisible as could be and watched and learned.
Boy, what I saw made the JW look like a kiddy day care center.
1. Does the JW congo have a secret handshake?
2. Do the JW wear "bulletproof" garmies to protect them from evil and confirm their faith?
3. Do the JW make males wear a Pillsbury Dough Boy hat? (I crapped my drawers when I saw that.
4. Do the JW poke at each other's bodies separated by a veil? (5 points of fellowship. Some male members poke away at the female on the other side of the veil with their "6th" point of fellowship. Nudge nudge, wink, wink.
5. Do the JW baptize the dead by proxy? WTF? Baptising dead people to enter them into the Mormon faith.This is not to put down those who suffered at the hands of the JW group but after seeing the warped deranged [deleted] the LDS promotes the JW seems like Disneyland in comparision. I can't wait to visit a KH and [deleted] around with their heads. I no longer fear the KH having faced a more disturbed and insidious group of sociopaths.
My ultimate head trip? I'm planning on having Mormon Missionaries *and* the Pioneers attend my house the same night and time for bible study. I can't wait to see whIt that doesn't become the standard for mind [deleted] I love to hear suggestions for a better plan I can't wait to see what happens.

Isn't silence the tool used by the WTS to stifle reports of child-abuse and other nasty tidbits? Report her, be done with it and move on. There is a second witness, the male the sister carried on with so that requirement is tied up neatly. Proving a negative is a specious argument but, what else has this pornea indulging sister done with other congo and worldly people? Make her own her actions.

Keep the discussion going guys! Does anyone have the May 1 WT yet? I'm fascinated about it's contents. An another note, maybe this has been mentioned but anyway. Am I the only one that thinks the WTS doctrine and behavior closely parallels Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984? The WTS could easily rename themselves the Ministry of Love or Ministry of Truth and I don't think the r&f would even blink. These guys rewrite their own history on a daily basis. What really creeps me out is the newspeak rubbish. I can feel the WTS actually sucking words and freedom concepts out of the r&f mind by banning apostate literature. I wonder when the WTS will finally announce they've been at war with Oceania and have always been at war with Oceania.

Gun control logic
by Gregor inthe v tech shooter bought his guns legally.
gun control laws don't stop this kind of determined killer anywhere in the world.
the defenseless victims couldn't carry a gun legally on campus if they had one.

I'll be surprised if the Joe Hoover crowd doesn't work to use this incident to support the "beginning of the end" crap they spout. He didn't use full-automatic weapons. He could have done the same damage with several cheap 6 shot revolvers. If you believe in "natural rights" (pro-creation, speech, self-determination) which some do, then historically man has owned the right to arm himself since he first picked up a club. Why should owning a 2007 version of a club (semi-auto pistol) be denied to a person if they have a non-violent past? If you don't subscribe to natural rights in essence you're saying you're willing to let the government of the day decide for you what you are allowed to do or think. That hasn't worked very well in The USSR or China nor many South & Central American countries over the last century. As with everything else, be careful what you wish for as it may come true.
