so here's the latest in my pathetic saga.

i've tried to fly under the radar for the past year, but it isn't working so well.

i've learned not to engage my wife in debates but rather to ask questions.

outsmart, if you meet with the elders, I'd get your wife to be with you and see how they cannot answer questions.

Letter from my mother

by Las Malvinas son Argentinas in

i've been officially disowned.

translated from the original:.

"my daughter,.

Las Mavinas, sorry to hear that about you're mother. This religion is just a cult, when my daughter got disfellowshiped, they wanted me to kick her out of the house. That was the last time I went to a meeting, unfortunately my daughter married and got reinstated. But we get on fine.

So sorry to hear this Donny. I don't know if it has been mentioned on this thread but they had an Awake that said no religon should come between family. It was the July 2009 Awake on page 28 and 29. Maybe you can show your son and go through it with him. Hope it goes well.

JW apologists deny child abuse in the organization

by MinisterAmos in

http://www.jwtalk.net/forum/read.php?49,112668,112668#msg-112668.

check out this thread on jwtalk.

the level of cognitive dissonance is astounding.

etna

I've just been reading this, and I wish someone would comment that the elders knew he was a child molester(he molested his step daughter), and they did nothing. There was a thread with an offical letter from the society. They are all saying they want it to go to appeal and then prove the elders are not liable. I hope that it just proves how irreprehensible they are.
