greetings, back-to-school-community dwellers!.
i just heard the high school bus rumble by.
if i time my excursions on the road properly during the coming semesters, i will stay ahead of the school buses picking up/depositing kids throughout the day.. if a parent, are you really ready, once again, to start making lunches, going to soccer practice, volunteering in class?.

From my experience...Jehovah's Witnesses ae the most FAKE people on this earth.
i think it's been around 7 years for me.
and i never ever missed going or being with the "friends"..

what is the wtbts concept of a genuine frined?
i haven't ever found any in the jdubs, maybe some of you have.
but was wondering what others think about the concept of a genuine frined in the jehovah witness organization?
I thought I had some genuine friends in the Org, until that frienship was tested. Then I realized as MS said "it's almost all a facade"
I personally like a nice butt..It's not the first thing I look at, but it certainly is a plus...
today is my youngest son's birthday.
he turns seven and he's requested that we take him to mcdonald's, which is a relief because he had asked to be taken to chucky cheese's.
we're waiting for it to get a little cooler outside because joshua loves to play in the playground at micky d's.
Happy birthday Joshua
suppose an active jehovah's witness sees a worldly person abusing a worldly child; for example, touching her genitals, and the witness goes to the police.
the worldly police will take action.. now, suppose the same jehovah's witness also sees a witness abusing a witness child in the same way, touching her genitals.
the witness knows he can't go to the elders because there are not two witnesses to the fact.. does the witness get to think that there is something very wrong about the two witnesses rule?
Sola,
"Concrete evidence"?
Sorry but that's laughable. Do you honestly think they would hand us over a list of who told them to stay away from from us?
No, they didn't give us names, but the PO told us they were told to stay away and being that they all did, I'm guessing he was telling the truth.
Mary,
Your posts are so spot on, Society has"chosen the wrong priority"
I wouldn't want to be in their shoes when it all is exposed, It wont be pretty and they certainly wont have Jehovah backing them.
speaking as a lady, yes!.
i think a balding man has 2 options- 1. hair club for men 2. shave it.. balding men- not hot; bald- hot; bald with goatee- extremely hot!.
what do you think ladies?.
I say take it all off!! My husband already keeps his hair really short.

Most tragic thing I've seen in a while I can't imagine how devastated these families are.

Sola,
I appreciate your kind manner, however every time you post I shake my head because it's nothing what we have experienced.
I know you prefer to think it's the elders fault for going against the written policy. My problem with that is.. WHY? What would they have to gain from it? I would think any elder would be totally sickened by a child molester!! So the question is ..Why? what would cause a normal man to turn against written policy and the bible accounts of how Jesus treated those who were hurt and in need?
It took me a great deal of time and heartbreak to figure this out. I mean these elders knew us, they knew our child they knew the kind of family we were so Why would they leave us to ourselves. Why did they make us feel as if we didn't matter and our child's victimization 1. by the molester. 2. by the questioning they put her through was of no concern to them?
I finally realized they were only doing what they were told to do. Did it make it easier? No. Will I ever trust "Men" again? No. But I have forgiven them because they were put in a horrible position. Does or will Jehovah forgive them for stumbling my family right out of the Org? I have no idea..It's something they will have to worry about.
