I had occasion to care for burn patients in the hospital years ago. The pain that many had is excruciating, (if the burn was 3rd degree or worse the nerves were gone). I really hope this becomes the standard burn treatment soon. How exciting this is!

Were you or someone you know sexually molested by a Jehovah's Witness ?

by flipper in

due to the fact there are about 27,000 members of this religion that are known pedophiles, and the information about it is kept in a secret database file, i wonder how many lurking jw's as well as others are aware of the severity of this problem?

remember, it's 27,000 pedophiles that they know about.

what about the thousands that don't get caught?

Haven't read but the first 3 pages, and I am wondering if the two wittness rule is still in effect?

Our Stories and Why They Matter

by Farkel in

stories are perhaps the most important thing we can contribute to others in our short life on planet earth.. mind you, i am not saying that stories are the most important things in our lives, because they are not.

the most important things in our lives are experiences, which are moment-by-moment things.

the best we can do with our own experiences is to tell stories about them, which will never convey the actual living of them.

What everyone has said! You tell a mighty entertaining story, and we'd like to know the backstory to your life. I dont want much, huh?

I need to do the same... glad you started the thread, maybe all of us can take your advise about hitting the keyboard. I'll be turning 64 soon and when I faded I still thought it was the "truth". I'll really be irritated if you don't get on the stick tho! Take care of yourself bro.

No More Life Story

for reasons i've stated in the window washers thread, i will not write and post any more about my life as a jw.. thank you, "yesidid.

Shelby,

Your points are very thought provoking.

I think that we should consider the direction we are going as we leave the borg. Trying to make our lives better and help each other out is always right. We all know that.

Just a note, if you are fairly new to the site, the "best of" links by Lady Lee are a must read. Go to Home at the left corner (under active topics) and browse.
