Do You Think It Is Wrong To Stereotype?
by minimus ini know we are supposed to be politically correct but i don't always feel that this is warranted.. i do think that certain things might be generally true and could be viewed as stereotyping.
for example, if i see a young person driving a car very slowly, i might think that they are texting and driving (or else are asian).
now that might not have sounded proper, but i do think it's generally true, from my experience driving in the city.. if i see a "butchy" looking woman, i generally assume the woman is gay.

Pedophilia
by imasheilatoo ini'm fairly new here, so i don't know if this has been discussed before.
we used to have a member of the "remnant" in our congregation (chester g), who lived at bethel.
he was an older man, and had been a witness for a very long time.

It happens way to often imasheilatoo :( My 9 year old daughter was a victim of a very loved and respected ex elder.
Truth is the WTS want these situations to just go away and if it means losing Jehovah's precious innocent sheep, then so be it!
Like the Scriptures say..you will recognize them by their fruit. That's why I got my family out of there as soon as I seen what they really were.

I think your doing the right thing freeflyingfaerie I found this site on a google search that may be helpful..http://www.freeminds.org/psychology/cults/therapists-who-work-with-watchtower-and-other-cult-related-issues.html
Many of us who have left for many different reasons have found the need to talk through our experiences with someone who is removed from the situation. I hope you find what you need to move forward and be the best mother you can be to your precious children.

What Do You Think?
by snowbird inlast night, my oldest daughter went to a bingo parlor at a large church.. guess who she ran into there?.
her spermatozoa donor!.
we've been divorced since she was 6 years old; he quit his job in order to avoid paying support for her.. she said he was so flustered and nervous at seeing her that he couldn't concentrate on the calls.. tee hee hee.. think i should go with her next friday and really upset him?.
