here are some very interesting comments made to me by an active jw friend in north nj:.
i just went to the website that you sent in your e-mail about the pandelos!
wow!
GRRRRRR!
Why do they do this? Where is the humanity which should be infinately more profound in an organization which claims to be God's?
I just don't understand. I just don't understand. :(

the wheels of the watchtower termination squad grind on.
at 4:45 p.m. today barbara anderson was contacted by the chairman of her previous judicial committee from last week.
barb was asked to meet with a new judicial hearing to face new charges which are adjusted as follows:.
My thoughts and prayers will be with Barbara and her family. I know this has to be a very difficult time for her. Even though I cannot support anything the JW cult teaches, I know having something you love ripped from you is not the most pleasant experience.
I just hope she understands to outcome will probably be for her own good.
:It means that if those charges are true, then the society is saying it is "Jehovah's arrangement" to cover up child rape and punish the victims. It means that anyone trying to help the victims and punish the criminals is undermining criminal acts and and criminal cover-ups that Jehovah HIMSELF has willed.:
I never thought of it this way Farkel, but you are absolutely right! If they disfellowship her, they are saying their actions in these cases were justified. PIGS!

well, my brother and his wife came over to my parent's house to visit today while i was home.. to make a long story short, while my brother and his wife were chatting with my mother in the living room, my 1 and a half year old nephew reilly walked into the kitchen where i was making a caesar salad.. he walked over towards me and was smiling, how can any normal adult resist the innocent smile of a child who is your relative?
i picked him up and gave him a huge hug, and told him i loved him.. as i was holding my nephew in my arms, my brother walked into the room.
he was smack dab in the middle of an in-depth conversation about jehovah with my mother and his wife, and i admit i was rolling my eyes listening to him spew about the "truth" and "the only means for salvation in the last days of this wicked system" even though when i confronted him with info on the un, blood, russell gravesite, rape changes, exclusivity, etc, he had no response for me because he was dumbfounded and lost for words.
I'm so sorry... but I will say... steal all the chances you can get with your nephew. If his father never smartens up, atleast his son will know his uncle will always love him.
Actually, I would suggest killing your brother with kindness. I know it is hard to do, but you are the better man. Tell him "Sorry but I love this little guy. How you and I feel about religion, or eachother for that matter, has nothing to do with that." End of discussion.
Just my two cents worth.

do you notice anything pecular?
To secure that silence, they use shame, secrecy, even outright terror. Children are thus robbed of their best weapon against abuse—the will to tell, to speak up and ask an adult for protection.
Hmmmm.... this sounds familiar.... WAIT! I've got it! This is what the JWs do to the victims who go forward to prosecute their abusers! WOW! Now we know!

You asked since when do they cover for peds... They covered for my uncle. They still cover for him and he is a repeat offender. Want to know how they punished him... He had to apologize to me.
He should be in jail.
on page 6 of "the catholic advocate" michelle laque johnson a staff writer quoted philip jenkins, professor of history and religious studies at penn state university as saying about pedophilia in the churches:.
"you name me a denomination and i'll give you a case.
...some (denominations)with huge problems include mormons, jehovah's witnesses, buddhists, jews, baptists, pentecostals, episcopalians - you name them.".
I think this is something they know, but because certain lawsuits are coming to light, more people will find out.
I, for one, and really looking forward to some of the secret funcitons of the JWs to come to light. I was telling my mom (devout JW) about some of the things I have found out and she just can't believe what I am telling her. I think she will need absolute proof.

i really miss the chesse danish's and the choclote pudding, and hoggie sandwichs, and people spilling their cokes behind me and it flowing into my kids blankets.. it was not comendable for the gb to do away with our food, dam them all them anyway, hell they were making good money on our eating their food, only a few of the items tasted any good, the rest tasted like goat shit.
tin man
The food at the assemblies are my only good memories... besides the good naps I would get!
