Prime Directive of Destructive Cults
by Farkel inthe prime directive of all destructive cults is to keep members absolutely convinced they are not involved in a destructive cult.
if that directive is not sustained the game is over for the leaders of the cult.. i thought about this because of an interesting experience i had not more than a half hour ago.
i wanted to call a childhood friend of mine; we had made contact a year or so ago after forty years.

Happy New Year from Lee
by Lady Lee inwell it has been an interesting year for me; some heartache; some growth; and a lot of change.
regardless of where we are on our journey away from the jehovahs witnesses we will be confronted with opportunities to learn and grow.
we dont know where life will take us.

Welcome, the good thing is you are young and have a clue... Getting your education is wonderful and you know it. Dont let anyone try and persuade you otherwise.
It seems that staying quiet about the religion is what you need to do for now... That you care about your mom is not a bad thing. Feel her out a little her thoughts about shunning. She brought up a good son... (speaking as a mother here)

Good Reasons To Hate Every Weak And Ex-Jehovah Witness.
by AuntConnie in1. my husband's time is finite, it's wasted on spouses arguing over money, sex or family mattters with stupid home visits.. .
i hate people's constant open hand for money, it's the weak individuals asking others to pull their weight.
my family worked extra hours instead of begging the strong members for district assembly money, cat food for seven cats or tiny little rag-a-muffins weiner dogs.. .

Watchtower's April 9 BOE Confidentiality Letter - Child Abuse - Did Jane Doe lawsuit play a major part?
by SweetBabyCheezits ini'd bet my left.... pinky toe that the wt's monster 4/9 confidentiality letter was put out as a direct result of the jane doe/candace vs wt case as they were preparing to go to trial.
there had already been a year of legal proceedings - surely the wt knew the shit was about to hit the fan.. thanks goes to atlantis for posting the boe letters originally as pdfs.
the person that a restraining order is a personal legal matter that does not involve the congregation.. thereafter, the elders should call the legal department immediately for direction..

Anyone else like to sew??? What kind of Machine do you use???
by ohiocowboy ini'm ready to get my sewing machines out of hiding, and will be sewing once again this winter.
i'd like to start quilting again, as it is fun to do, eases stress, and is healthier than just sitting in front of the tv.
i have even designed a few items of clothing in the past that i have sold, although i am by no means another madeleine vionet or issey miyake-lol.. i've always liked sewing machines even as a child (much to the dismay of my parents-lol), and there are a couple favorites that i have had for many years.

I have a good friend who makes tie quilts (mostly wall hangings) and she says its tricky because of the fabric being cut on the bias she puts a cotton backing on it so it wont stretch. It also makes the project heavy. She also goes to thrift stores and garage sales to get her ties. Once in a while a bag of ties just turns up on her front porch. Sometimes she will do a pillow or wall hanging as a memory project after someone's grandpa passes away.
Estate sales often have ties but may be more pricy because of sentimental value.
