well, my husband found out about my affair (yes, i gave in to the temptation with the soccer player and while it was fantastic, it's over now) and it's been a devestating time, we almost got divorced, but we're working through it.

i knew telling friends and this board wasn't going to help me fight his romantic advances, but i tried.

it was a one time thing that would have continued, but i wasn't too careful about the clues (guilty conscience i think).

the whitewashed history of the watchtower society in nazi germany.. the man who became leader of the german branch of the watchtower society after the war is without exception portrayed as a beacon of virtue and faith, standing fearless against the nazis:.

*** w89 5/1 12 jehovah has sustained me as a friend ***.

many of the loyal ones, among them erich frost and konrad franke, who suffered much for the lords sake and later became branch overseers in germany, returned alive from the fiery furnace of persecution.. .

Sickening abuse case in the UK

i'm sure anyone in the uk will have heard about the poor little 8 year old girl who was subjected to appalling abuse and killed.. i just feel so angry right now...how could so many police, doctors, social workers let her down and fail to act when the signs were so clear and pointed out to them?.

what are they there for, for goodness sake?.

they should all be sacked for incompetence and failing to do what they get well paid for.

in case anyone is wondering about our registration policy:.

i don't intend to turn people away who want to register and post or make ultra-strict registration procedures because i honestly don't think that they work.

if i were to ask for names of congregations or presiding overseers then i have no real way of checking if they are correct.
