Thank you for posting......
I think some of us try to inject the broadened parameters into the 'we'......
By including others slowly (like very cautiously slow) we take the fear of change/different....
But she sooooo nailed that explanation!!

12Betrayal
by breakfast of champions inso far when i have seen the word 'betrayal' or 'betrayed' on these boards, it's in reference to how we feel betrayed by the watchtower society, family, or individuals within the organization.
we all understand this feeling well.
i can relate to many of the sentiments expressed.. but the other night with my therapist, towards the very end of the session, the word 'betrayal' came up in reference to myself.. the therapist noted that i seemed to be 'holding back' with her.

Do You Think That You Should Be Punished For Letting Drivers Know There Is A Speed Trap Along Their Route?
by minimus ina houston woman made up a sign warning motorists of a speedtrap and she was arrested!.
in my area we often alert fellow drivers of speed traps by flashing our lights.
do you think there should be a law against this?.

Our area allows for 5 over but 6 and you getting pulled over .......only exception is school zones....anything more than 1 mile over and you are ticketed

Boys got busted hard too....
My county officers also park empty cars to slow traffic out on long stretches of road between counties/towns

The "Secrecy Policy
by Celestial ini've given this recent lawsuit quite a bit of thought and come to sound conclusions.
after examining other organization's child-protection policies (namely churches), what i've come to realize is there's a one-size fits all solution that's socially acceptable; all information obtained through witnesses and confessions by organizational personnel is be used to aid and abet law-enforcement.
there's no in-between or anything short of this objective that's socially acceptable.

How many ex-jws poster here now believe in Hellfire, immortality of soul, trinity, etc;
by booker-t ini am just curious about this because although i agree with many of the posters here that the wt society is guilty of many horrible deeds, i still believe they are right when it comes to doctrinal things as i mention.
especially hellfire.
i just don't see how anybody that has studied the bible for many years like many of the ex-jws here can make an about face and go back to believing hellfire.

Its politics....and this is a political season.
Biden kicked it off with his comments ......
Frankly I am disappointed that both parties are highlighting this over say I dunno the 'economy'......

I just read that Chapa is able to communicate with the police!
Would have hated this to turn into a version of the Adrianne Jones case where it takes years to crack due to the higher level of social interaction of teenagers.

Sigh...
Rachel,
Your mind fascinates and vexes me at the same time.
We all 'choose our battles'.....perhaps this one is best left alone and let the legal process come to a conclusion.
How about a nice thread on Sunday's WT .....please purdy purdy purdy please because this thread is headed for an ugly turn and locking.

Just wanted to say...
by tec in... how truly great this place is.. i have not been on many forums, but i think this one is unique and strong in a very important way.
it is of course a support group for those exiting the wts, or trying to deal with remaining within it, first and foremost.
but the awesome thing about this place is how it welcomes everyone.
