31What Term Can Replace "Publisher" ?
by OnTheWayOut inindulge the possibility that, as profits from printed materials become thinner, watchtower might want to stop having members carry printed materials to the homes of many.
i know it will probably go through more phases of "cheapening" the materials (softcover books, pamplets instead of brochures, flyers instead of pamphlets) but let's consider the idea that they will one day cease delivering anything printed.. the door-to-door work is huge in controlling members and monitoring loyalty.
pioneers are their biggest supporters.

Congratulations! Dogs from the Shelter can be the best pets. I got my Minpin from a shelter last year, and he is the best dog I ever had. He loves hugs too.

by mummatron ini'm a regular reader of baggagereclaim.co.uk.
i find it helps me deal with many of the relationship-based hurts in my past, but this latest blog post, although it's written about romantic relationships, just made me think of my life as a jw and puts a lot of it in perspective!
so i felt it was worth a share... thought it might help some lurkers, faders & those questionning the cult.. have highlighted the most relevant parts.

I know of a situation that was purely obsene. A girl of the age of 13 had sex with an elder in my congregaition. They were both disfellowshipped. The girl was treated as an equal in the incident, when in reality she was atttacked by a pedophile.
Sick fucks.
