  New ex-JW memoir coming out...

  i don't post a ton here because i'm kinda shy.

  http://www.amazon.com/dp/0373892357?tag=thegirsguitoh-20&camp=14573&creative=327641&linkcode=as1&creativeasin=0373892357&adid=038ez4bjpam7bcsze5mq&.

  that's the amazon link (which is currently the most affordable, i believe, but it's also available for preorder at b&n, borders, indiebound, and indigo-chapters if you're in canada, if you prefer one of those retailers).. .

  "they (the government) accused our brothers there that they were going from house to house telling people not to register and not to vote," taban jamba lemi, a jehovah's witness based in juba, told reuters late on friday.. "they are just allegations and the government took them seriously," lemi added.. "for jehovah's witnesses, each one has his own responsibility whether he votes or not.

  we are not dictating that all jehovah's witnesses cannot vote.".

  check out the blue box.

  of course jehovah's witnesses would adamantly vouch for a serial killer convicted of butchering 13 women.

  Followup on the JW woman who killed/cannibalized her baby...

  by brizzzy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ...they made a ruling of insanity today and are committing her to a mental institution (not surprising).. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/aleqm5j65neevh5ihfmyvu7qibzwqbv-kgd9gmhglo0.

  the above article doesn't mention that she's a jw, but it was mentioned by numerous other numerous outlets when the baby was first killed.

  so tragic :`(.

  Does anybody in London know anything about this???

  by brizzzy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm a californian, but a good friend in london just texted me saying there's a blitz of about 50 jehovah's witnesses in croydon right outside of where she's eating loaded up with watchtowers and setting up a stall and a speaker with a megaphone.

  she also says that some of them are women in wheelchairs and that they're rolling in front of passers by and blocking them when they try to ignore them.

  she says all of the pedestrians are telling them to fuck off and leave them alone because they're not interested in a cult, haha.. is this something new that the society is encouraging over there (or even more scary, everywhere?

  My story on ex-JW blog radio program...

  by brizzzy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  kinda cool, was asked by sacha wilharn (ex-jw and author of new book "no part of their world", about her abuse by her bethelite husband and escape from the borg) to share my story on "keepin it real", a blog radio program she hosts for ex-jws.

  couldn't call in because i'm not getting cell service here in the uk, but i answered her questions via email.

  thought they would just pick a few of them, but they read the whole thing and talked about my backstory for about 40 minutes!
