  Bought another new, "booger free", book.

  by Gregor in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  if there are any civil war buffs here i highly recommend "southern storm, shermans march to the sea" noah trudeau.

  compiled from letters, diaries, newspapers, weather reports,etc.

  to give a detailed, day by day account of the historical military episode.. only a couple hundred pages into it but it is like being there.

  Thank you, Tuesday,

  After I saw this, I called my son. He made an abrupt exit from the JW's long before I did. The first meeting he refused to go to, his Dad kicked him out, right then and there. My heart broke that night and I have never recovered. I fought and cried and begged and screamed at his father, but in the end, the decision was made. He was 18 years old.

  All I could do was make sure he had what he needed to be on his own. I bought sheets, dishes, etc, whatever he needed. I secretly gave him money behind his dad's back. I have apologised for not being able to do more for him at that time. I cannot imagine treating him the way that boy in the video is being treated by his mother.

  We have a pretty good relationship now even though we live in different cities. We talk on the phone and text each other all the time so that we each know what's going on in the other's life. He's a great 22 year old man now! I'm not with his dad anymore, which was upsetting to him at first, but he understands how difficult living with that man was.

  Disfellowshipped Relatives & The Scriptures & Manmade Rules

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think the stupidest rule regarding disfellowshipped ones has to be regarding if a relative lives in the home of a jw or not.

  where in the bible does it say that you can talk and not shun a df'd person if they live in your home but if they don't live there, you have to avoid them and treat them as dead?.

  the organization decides if a df'd person could live within the home.

  kool aid,

  Oh, that's so sad!

  That's exactly what my daughter is being told right now, too. It's incredibly difficult for her right now. From your experience, what do you think your dad could've done to make it easier for you?

  My daughter is 16 and doesn't have a problem defying everyone in order to see me. But it's really distressing to her to listen to the bad-mouthing of me.

  My last boyfriend was 10 years younger than me. Totally wrong for each other, but OMG the chemistry.

  Current boyfriend is 8 years younger than me, and a good match. But I didn't want to commit to him until I was sure he was serious about not wanting children (I can't have any more). I didn't want to be responsible for taking a life experience away from him that he might regret later.

  The WTS and Frequent Liar Points

  by Hopscotch in

  1. social
  2. humour

  i have read on here of the frequent flyer points racked up by bethelites etc on wts business and it made me think of this.. .

  frequent liar points.

  the wts has told so many lies to its members, the public and the media that if there were points accumulated for frequent lies then surely they would have a huge tally of them.. .

  keep it secret has been wts child abuse policy for years.

  he said the policy that jehovah's witnesses have on how to handle cases of child abuse is without equal in the religious community.

  why keep these forms secret?.

  Reniaa,

  Has it occurred to you at all, that perhaps the motive here is COMPASSION FOR THE VICTIMS????????

  No, of course that wouldn't occur to you because you support the GB no matter what they do, you agree that their handling of things is correctly done and you agree that victims of child rape should be shut up and swept under the rug.

  You should be ashamed of yourself. But of course, you're too ignorant to know you should be ashamed.
