  Did You Personally Know Any JWs That Were Sexually Molested By Other JWs?

  i knew of a handful (which is too many) that were molested by a jehovah's witness.

  it was not typical in my experience.

  what about you???.

  pardon my asking.

  i have a dance friend that invited me to their event at their church.

  it is a half hour dance show, then a half hour dance lesson, then general dancing till midnight.. this sounded okay.

  I think so.. Im reading a book right now about the FLDS which are more extreme in many ways but they are a branch off Mormonism. Definetely a dangerous cult.

  Mormons restrict many areas of life just as Witnesses do. No coffee or warm beverages, no alcohol, dress and grooming etc.

  Wow!! A lot of people have had their lives threatened

  When I was a young girl I was at a Return visit with my "spiritual grandma". She was annointed and took my Mother and I under her wing. Lovely lady I still love her.. anyways. The house was filthy and smelled like cat pee. I guess I was locking my knees or something too because I started to feel dizzy. I tugged on my grandmas shirt to try to let her know I was fainting and she shrugged me off. I walked out the door and passed out on the porch. It was embarrasing but it's not that great a story compared to so many on here!

  I also hated it when people wouldn't turn on the air conditioning!!

  Scientology is worse IMO. For instance, if you disagree with them and they choose to disfellowship you or whatever they call it, they sit your spouse down and tell them "either you divorce your spouse, or you're out too".

  I saw that on a video on youtube. It wa s woman that had an internet show or something and she was covering the subject of shunning. I can't find it.. If I can find it, how do I upload it on here?

  That's good she's still alive. My hubby is in the military and they beefed up security out here after the incident.

  I'm thinking of all the families affected :( It's so horrible. I think they said they were just in training too. Their families didn't even have time to prepare for the fact that their husbands/children were in danger. When they are deployed, you have some sort of mental prep even though you are never fully prepared for that sort of news. I know, I usually feel a sense of security when I'm on a base. I know I shouldn't, but it's the tendency.

  It's so weird that they say he's dead and then change the story.

  quite a debate has been going on in the media this week regarding carbon emissions and it has been suggested that we should either become vegetarians or at the very least drastically reduce our meat consumption.. lets face it .

  I have already done my part to save the planet.

  There are so many ways we can cut back and reevaluate our impact. Food is just one thing
