Ever attacked by a dog (or householder) while out in service?

i knew a little kid who got bitten pretty badly.

his parents didn't seem appalled enough to suit me.. they acted like it was a badge of honor of something.. i was chased out of a yard by a dog but didn't get bit.

i think i didn't get bit because i knew enough about dogs to get off the property and then turn and face the dog with my book bag in front of me.

Finally Free,

I literally laughed out loud at the mental picture you painted. Thanks...

I was yelled at, cussed and threatened with a gun but not shot. I had old Watchtowers thrown at me.

How about the rest of you?

Avoiding an Elder

by R.F. in

i'm almost six months past walking away from the religion, and one of the elders has risen and thrown a monkey wrench into my entire plan.

things have been great actually.

since i've managed to shed myself of congregation responsiblities, the elders have gotten off my back quite a bit.

sacrebleu

I say avoid them, but if that is not possible...

Use theocratic warfare... Be just as honest with them as they would be with you.

Hi there!

i have been coming to this site to read news and your stories for about a year now, but have never posted due to my mortal fear of somehow being found out... i have family in as most of you do, who are all very sincerely convinced that they are on the path of light.. i have never been happy with the beliefs, mainly the doublespeak on the status of women, the hypocrisy, the dramatisation of the smallest of matters, and the general guilt trip that was my life until i stumbled across some hard evidence that my suspicions about 'gods channel' were well founded.

unfortunately i am now addicted to turning over every piece of information i can find, there seems to be no end to the amount of $#*& below the surface.

i will probably remain in this state for awhile, hungrily devouring all the information that makes me feel validated for my stand against much of the mindless rubbish that has gone around me during my life as a jw.

Welcome BreakingFree and DestructoGirl,

Welcome to sanity and clarity.

Be careful. Be very, very careful if you don't want to "outed" just yet.

SCUMBAG JW PEDOPHILE GET LENIENT SENTENCE REVOKED!

by Mary in

i can't remember if it was discussed here, but michael porter, a witness in good standing in london, england, pled guilty to being a pedophile and was originally given a conditional sentence which outraged many.. anyway, his leniant sentence was just overturned, and it looks like he better not drop the soap in the communial shower for the next 18 months: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7094591.stm.

.

sacrebleu

This truly IS great news. I just wish it was 18 years instead of 18 months.

But at least he got something and maybe he'll get more...

Former Jehovah's elder sentenced

What a scum bag to take advantage of someone already so troubled.

Of course, there is no excuse for this with ANYONE, but you know what I mean.

He should be castrated, then hung. Both done slowly.

Silent Lambs march on Brooklyn Headquarters

by sacrebleu in

here is the link to the news footage.. http://youtube.com/watch?v=53ju4g7ia4.

if this doesn't work just search for it on you tube.

i can't get my computer to copy and paste on this forum.. i don't know when this aired.

sacrebleu

OK, I'm clueless. Is this Ted Jaracz a big wig? Or did he used to be somebody important?

RF,

I wrote a DA letter and then they called and demanded that I meet with them.

The elder said I "had to." I told him I didn't "have to" do anything.

They announced my DF the next Sunday and yes, my sisters did shun me.

Be careful.

Stupid Idiots at the meeting

by B_Deserter in

i was at the sunday meeting today (i know, i know...) and i heard this one guy give a comment about how hollywood movies always portray rich people as happy and successful, so that's proof that satan controls the film industry because it's a lie.. .

i struggled to think of one recent hollywood film that portrayed anyone as being happy, let alone rich and happy.

if they made a movie like this guy was describing, it wouldn't sell.

sacrebleu

Zack,

You forgot the last part of the quote.

"If money is a curse, may God smite me with it... And may I never recover!" Fiddler on the Roof

One of my favorite movies.
