that sick child molesting bastard is in jail now as we speak.. his sentencing is set for september 24th i think.. one down many more to go.. thanks to all who have supported this cause.. sheila

Francois

The Tao grinds slow, but the Tao grinds fine.

JW child molesters everywhere should now be on notice. You, too, could have a trial like this with the whole world watching.

Someone is going to be next. Will it be you?

I would like the details. All the gory ones like the dynamic in the courtroom, the reaction of the gallery, the judge, the prosecutor. I'd also like to know the sentence, and time to serve, and probation terms. Now he must advertise his whereabouts. Maybe he'll even have to wear a sign around his neck while he's out in service.

Breathlessly waiting,

Francois

This site is very misleading!!!

by IrishDancinJames in

this website is very misleading!

it says its for jehovahs witnesses, for brothers and sisters!!!

and this site is no such thing!

Francois

Another censor shows up.

I think we should look into Jehovah's Witnesses and see about these people who tell us about how much love they have, and how they have the truth, and how they know when God is going to murder off most of the human race, and how perfect everything is going to be, until.

Until...

Until you get inside their organization and discover it's nothing of the sort.

Life after the Borg

by Ranchette in

my husband and i were raised as witnesses in strong strict families.. our fathers were elders so we always had to set the example.because of this we started and ran our family the same way.so when we decided to leave were at the top in the congregation so to speak.i was very concerned for our children,actually i was scared to death for them.. i was looking for answers myself and didn't know if i was strong enough to be of much help to my children.we just took things slow and had lots of talks with the kids and walked them through it.i'm realizing that you can get them out just like you got them in in the first place.by your example and lots of communication.it's been 7 or 8 months since we have stepped foot in a kingdom hall and our kids are doing great!they are making new friends and had the best summer ever.the reason i'm telling this is to encourage any parents out there that are as scared as i was.

you can do it.you will enjoy it because you will find that you are much closer to your children.it's amazing how quickly they opened up and told their real feelings without fear of our disaproval.. i just enrolled them both as regular kids in for the first time.no lecturing or preaching to the teachers about what they can and can't do.i'm so excited for them!they can experience all the fun i missed out on and just be kids.i almost fell over when they asked for birthdays and christmas.i gave them both birthday parties this summer and explained that we will have to go slow and figure it out as we go along.. i'm planning on letting them celebrate the holidays at school and i think we will celabrate the seasons picking any traditions we like from their holidays and creating some of our own.i'm just not realigous anymore so will probably never do things the way most do.. hope this gives hope and helps someone.. ranchette

Wait 'till you help your children decorate their very first tree.

Urge you to do it THIS year! Don't miss it. Please don't miss it. It's the experience of a lifetime, with those bright smiling faces and all the excitement. And they'll have an extra measure of excitement since it will be tinged with the sweetness of forbidden fruit. And that will give you another chance to have another of those soul-warming little chats with your little innocents.

Eze34 talking about 'apostates' on the net ?

by alliwannadoislive in

jw
friends

was in a chat room the other night and this guy quotes ezekiel 34 at me - says it refers to those considered apostates by the wt society.

interestingly v14 sounds like the net to me ... comments welcomed ...

Grazing land. Sheep. Pastures. Tribes. Foreskins. Brideprices. Warfare. Slaughter. Human sacrifice. Stoning sons & daughters. Talking snakes. Worldwide floods. Incest. Littering.

Primitive. Savage.

Outdated.

"Nourishment For The Spirit" #2

by hillary_step in

jw
friends

max, excuse the plagiarism of your thread heading.

royalties on the way!.

a few weeks ago maximus began a thread which he named nourishment for the spirit which resulted in a most interesting discussion of books that we had read and that meant much to us as individuals, some acknowledging that the books had added much to their lives.. now i would like to ask a question.. have any of you read or viewed a piece of art, read a poem, or heard a piece of music that actually changed an ethic in your life or adjusted a previously held viewpoint?

Francois

I never COULD take that Kingdom Melodies shit. Sounded like a bad mixture of elevator music and high school band. As for a work of art, I'll have to think about it.

But the first time I saw a composite picture of the Milky Way galaxy, something fell into place inside me like the tumblers on a combination lock. I even heard something go "click."

The forth movement of the Beethoven Symphony No. 6, Pastoral, always makes something inside me quicken. Same as his 9th symphony, forth movement.

some of those that remember me wonder what i've been up to so far this year.i made a post tonight on the kids teens parenting board that tells some of it.check it out.. plus i'll add this.. since i quit meetings cold turkey believe it or not i've not experienced even one withdrawl symtom!!yea!.

i was in shock at first and it took me awhile to grasp that i was truly free.not df'd or da'd.

i don't believe in either and do not believe any man or group of men have the right to take friends and family from us!most of our friends and family have labled us anyway but that's their choice.. shall i confess my sins?

Francois

Right ON! Right on. Free at last, you're free at last....

Freedom really IS so sweet!

AF - Proof that he's nuts (as if you needed it)

by Mishnah in

jw
friends

apparently it is a fact that af has been subjected to professional psychiatric aid.

i applaud the fact that he once was able to bring himself to that point.

by why has he abandoned real mental help and replaced it with places like this?

Francois

Mishna: a collection of jewish fables and traditions comprising part of the Talmud. Deals with such timeless questions as, if a woman throws dishwater in the yard on the Sabbath is it work since a seed might sprout? It supplements the law; but it ain't the law.

So it's sorta half-assed.

Like the opinions of anyone who continues to credit the illicit idea that therapy is for goofballs and carries a stigma.

Anyone who would do that would laugh when a lady farts.

Anyone who would do that would call a black man a nigger in the Cotton Club and think he was gonna get away with it.

Anyone who would do that thinks a woman's place is barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

Anyone who would do that is beneath contempt.

BIBLE - Inspired Word of God?

i may be asking a question that's already been addressed on another thread.

if so, kindly redirect me.

i read this post on another thread, which made me ask a question.

Francois

And one other thing:

That scripture that no doubt some troll is going to bring up? The "all scripture is inspired of God..."? That one?

Didja ever stop to think that in the time that the letter was being written to Timothy that "scripture" meant the Hebrew scripture? And nothing else? What we know as the Greek scriptures, the New Testament, didn't exist. And these letter-writing guys had no idea that their letters were going to be collected years and years later and presented to the world as the inspired word of God? So where does that leave us? With the OT only, according to the dictates of common sense. Of course, we're dealing with religion here. Common sense has nothing to do with it.

I kinda like the Tao Te Ching myself.

BG: I think several things about the bible. The first is that it contains partial answers to questions that were asked five thousand years ago. And the concept of God presented there is also five thousand years old. And this God's the one that's still worshipped in most judeo-christian religions: the angry, jealous, all too human big daddy in the sky.

I also think that the Hebrew scriptures are nothing more than the secular history of the Jews pumped up with fiction into a divine writ. Think about it. These scriptures were supposedly fostered and maintained by a group of men whom Jesus characterized as "white-washed graves. The offspring of vipers," and other discourageing words. These same guys were also famous for doctoring up their scriptures during the Babylonian captivity in order to give hope to the hopeless. And these guys can be depended upon to transmit "Gods" inspired word to future generations?

Right.
