I would say..knowing you as I do....As a God of Love and Justice. I knew you would never accept or approve of the lack of love and the lack of spiritual Justice my child received from the shepards after she was molested by one of there own.

I sure hope not! They are early teens and we are fading out...hopefully, they will live their own lives and be who they should be and not who we tell them to be :)

Have your views on gays changed over the years?

some questions....feel free to answer any or all of these.

have your views of gay people changed over the years?

do you have or have you ever had gay friends?

truthseekeriam

I never could be one of those people that talked badly about those who were gay. I have always been one of those people who asked why, before I judged..and like some who commented already, I was raised around kids who at the early age of 4 and 5 who didn't fit in with their gender. I played with boys who just loved dolls and never touched a dump truck. I knew girls who would have rather died, then put on a skirt! I watched them grow into who they were and yes they turned out to be gay and I didn't care and still don't care.

I do think it's a trend with some, but I have known too many to know that for some... it's who they are. Just as I am, who I am.

Mr. Flipper Talks with Bethel Legal Service Desk Rep About JW Child Abuse

by flipper in

well - i had been wanting to do this for a long time , to question a legal department representative at bethel about the child abuse settlements and jw child abuse, since last year when the news came out about it.

especially since my dad , an elder for years was never aware of it and has on his own taken steps to see that families with children are informed if a former pedophile is in their congregation.

i was curious as to what the current views and policies in place are .

truthseekeriam

Wow flipper, this was really good. Thanks for the expose

truthseekeriam

Wow! Nothing they do shocks me anymore...

I'm happy you have a good attitude about it. I'll do the same if they come after me.

As I have told my sister, if they want to get rid of me they will do it themselves...I owe them nothing.

I bet you feel as if a weight had been lifted off you

Standing up for myself, a lonely stand

by troubled mind in

i have learned in my life that i am the only one i can trust to stand up for myself .. many times i wished others would have 'had my back', like when i was seven and my favorite teacher committed wrongful contact with my class....we didn't know the term pedofile back then , and children were not taken serious when they made complaints about teachers .

i wished my mom had been more protective and saved me from some ugly situations .

i knew at 10 yrs of age that wasn't going to be the case .

truthseekeriam

I hear you troubled mind!! I feel you fustration...I have had many of those same conversations with my husband as well. It's hard to be the only one to stand up and say enough! In the way we need to be done!

Just a few years ago when our daughter was molested I wanted him to drive over to that creeps house and kill him with his bare hands! I wanted to see him turn into some man I knew he wasn't..I married a man that was a kind, calm and controlled... everything I so loved about him I suddenly couldn't stand! It was the hardest thing to face and it very well could have torn us apart at a very horrible time. I had to remember I can't expect him, to be me. The truth is there could only be one of me in a relationship :) I'm the emotional, vocal, do it now person! He's the let's think about it, don't be rash person.

I always enjoy your threads,

(((hugs)))

i am laughing at my 15 year old neighbor doing the parallel parking practice.

she is a disaster.

truthseekeriam

I thought new cars did it for you

I hated that part of the driving test!

I can't believe my son is about to get his permit...I wonder if the neighbors are laughing at him as he walks out to his parked car and starts it up and sits in it listening to music and texting his friends everyday dreaming of the day he could actually drive it.
