  Sanduskly will be put away for life. He will probably get consecutive sentences for each, one after the other, for a total

  of at least 100..but there may be more victims coming forward.

  over a course of THREE years. He actually read scriptures to the boy after each abuse session, which

  averaged 3-5 times a week...here's the kicker. When it came time for him to talk to the judge, his last words

  were...."I'm not a monster. I'm not a monster."

  My heart goes out to the parents who were crying their eyes out in the back. Parents who trusted this

  man implicitly. Now their son is horrifically messed up. I see this all the time in my line of work, but this

  sentencing will imprint in my mind indefinitely. Not only because he's a JW, but because of the emotion the

  parents exhibited.

  Sad...so sad....

  Question for previous elders...very important.

  does a criminal conviction, say for fraud, render one disfellowshipped?.

  thanks!.

  Wow...good examples. Would this relative be under obligation to tell the overlords?

  That's a bit clearer, thanks. So as long as you're repentant, it doesn't matter

  what you do (as long as it's not apostate stuff?)

  It's almost embarassing to be American right now. Everytime I see that clip of Perry

  at the debate last night I cringe. Cain makes my skin crawl and Bachman terrifies me.

  Anyone else feel the same?

  Should There be a Petition Asking the Watchtower Society to Retract its "Mentally Diseased" Statements?

  by DT in

  2. friends

  of course, i would be very surprised if the watchtower society ever retracted or apologised for anything.

  still, it could gain a lot of publicity and put pressure on them to curb their hate speech.

  if they refuse to apologise, it could demonstrate that those statements were intentional and not just a slip of the printing press.

  All I can think of is this George Orwell quote from 1984 regaring the JW masses...

  "until they become conscious they well never rebel, and after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious."

  i think it may be a good time to start writing to other publications with some of the outlandish.

  jw doctrines...higher education is one thing that comes to mind.

  As a JW Kid Were You Expected To Get Baptised By Your Parents/ Congregation

  by Hairyhegoat in

  2. experiences

  here is a quote from a ex-jw about this subject, i myself had alot of pressure from my family to get baptised and finally gave in at 14, wish i had left them a present on the way out of the pool that floated..at the dudley assembley hall .

  i can't justify my entire family (parents, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandma) and friends shunning me because i chose not to uphold a dedication i made at twelve years old.

  sure it was my "choice" to get baptized.

  I never did. I knew from the age of six that I was going to escape as soon as I could. My sister got

  baptised when she was 16. I tried to talk her out of it but couldn't. I just ignored all the comments.

  The Polarizing of America: Rep. Michele Bachmann wins Iowa Straw Poll

  by darthfader in

  1. social
  2. current

  http://news.yahoo.com/bachmann-wins-gop-2012-test-vote-224544660.html.

  minnesota rep. michele bachmann won a test vote of iowans on saturday, a show of strength five months before the state's caucuses kick off the gop presidential nominating season.. the result is the first indication of what iowans think of the field of republicans competing for the chance to challenge president barack obama next fall.

  but it's hardly predictive of who will win the winter iowa contest, much less the party nod or the white house.. well... there goes the neighborhood....
