The only other option is to get the DVD and use a program like DVD Decrypter to back it up and remove the region coding... still technically illegal though.

Were You Treated Like Crap By The "Brothers" and "Sisters"?

by minimus in

were you and your family well received in the congregation or were you treated like crap?.

Yep, I was treated like crap by most of the Brothers TM and Sisters TM in my congregation TM . The only other girls remotely close to my age were Elders TM daughters who thought they were much better than me because their daddys had money. Then there was the Elder TM who thought I was a harlot because I had a worldly boy for a friend.

In hindsight I'd have to say I'm quite grateful to them though. Their behaviour helped push me away from a cult... I'm free of it, they are still trapped.

Witness Bible altered text Genisis 3:6 to show the "Tree of knowlege" had no "magical powers' Cover up! Shock!

by Witness 007 in

my eyes fell out of my head when i found this....i always thought the tree of knowlege had "magic powers" but the watchtower said no, no it's just symbolic.. this is how the verse reads in the nwt bible.

gen 3:6 "the woman saw that the tree was good for food and it was something to be longed for to the eyes, the tree was desirable to look upon......." {repeats the same verse twice!}.

check out the nwt footnote study version.

There were no Watchtowers around back then, how could they possibly gain any insight without a Watchtower?

How Can Someone Who's Multiple-Chemical Sensitive Find a Paying Job?

Have a look and see what's out there. Lots of opportunities to work from home on the net. Bit of advice... if they ask for money up front... RUN!

But seriously, do you have any artistic talents? Lots of sites where you can upload artwork for t-shirts etc... get paid a commission based on how many of your designs are sold and most of those sites are free.

"I'm Perfect, You're Doomed" discussion...

by Tuesday in

has anyone read this book?.

i figured i had to comment because everyone was telling me oh tim, youre going to love this book.

she went to the same assemblies as you, she was raised in a similar household, she did poetry slams as well.

Tuesday, she never accused him of anything. She was hanging around 'Lisa' and 'Lisa' had made her believe something had happened because every male around Lisa always did something. The main character was a follower, a poser, and she wrote that clear as day. So then, being the total follower she was, she supposedly approached him while he was sitting eating like a cheeto and said "I know what you did." She never explained what it was he did and he never had an idea of what she meant in the story. However, if you remember in the story she did have that one incident with Betty's unbelieving husband after the circus...

My point exactly. I got the feeling that part was only in the book to show how screwed up her way of thinking was at the time.... and it was, she's not trying to hide that. You could use the same incident as proof that had her friend received the support she should have gotten (like counselling perhaps?) and had her abusers been reported she would have dealt with her past and what had happened to her... it's pretty clear that hadn't happened... and we all know why. And yes... there was also that circus incident...

I gotta agree with GoddessRachel too... it's not the same being raised as a JW when you're female. You're told your entire life to submit. Thinking just isn't an option you're given as the man is the head of the household cause the bible says so. At least if you're male you're given credit for having the capability to make decisions... females are told their emotions wreck havoc which make them incapable of ever making a rational decision. Those damn ovaries...
