simon, i think he's back.
did you let him back?
please get rid of him again.
I went to college (before the change in Higher Education) and hold four degrees in public relations, psychology, a Masters in Communications Management and the Juris Doctor. I am a licensed attorney, currently not practicing, doing something else for the government at the moment.
Must be nice.
has anyone or do you know anyone who has been attacked viciously by a witness because you told them that you thought there religion was a cult or other derogatory remarks against there faith?
SS, Shut the F**K up, your a troll, & no one is interested.
Yes, an elder took a swing at me for questioning his authority.
stealing someone elses thread about music..... what were some of the television shows that you thought were just too horrible to think of watching, or were conseled on watching?.
i got reamed out for watching the simpsons.
i just laughed at the ms who freaked on me.
Most of the above, & Batman.
but i was so wrong!
my daughter just got home.
you all know i dressed her up, painted her nails, curled her hair, and sent her off to my favorite cousin's wedding.
Hi could you give me some backstory here because I am actually failing to see how this is such a big deal?
Thank you ouroboros for your stupidity to give me a soapbox for the point I was going to make.
I work w/ kids in a group home for severely emotionally disturbed, abused boys. Undermining parental authority, & teaching kids to be "sneaky" & lie to their parents is one of the most abusive things short of punching, or having sex w/ a child that you can do.
Esmerelda, this is S.O.P for the JW's. Divide & conquer. To continue to expose your child to this is abuse. If your mom says it's o.k, & she stops talking to you, so much the better. sorry if I sound harsh & insensitive, but I've gone thru this as a child w/ my own grandma, & work w kids 56 hrs. a week that have been put thru varying degrees of this B.S.
Ouroboros, your full of shit, you obviously don't know what your talking about. Teaching a child to be sneaky & go behind the one person that has sole authority over them screws them up. Secrecy w/ a 7 yr. old is NOT OK! For ALL OF YOU that allow your children to be w/ relatives, dubs or not, that undermine your authority, is abusive.
since my red wings tanked so bad and toronto is not looking real good either i am going to start watching basketball.
my pistons are a #1 seed in the eastern conferance and they start the series today against the orlando magic..oh no another disney team!
if there is a god maybe he can save detroit against the demon that is disney!
I agree, Go Kings!! Beat the Sucko lakers.
the watchtower society has condemned the catholic church for over 15 years because of their pedophile cover-up -- now, the watchtower society is trying to make a defense of their own pedophile cover-up by claiming that they are "no worse than any other religion"!.
statements made to the media by official watchtower society spokesmen about the jehovah's witnesses pedophile problem being "no worse than any other religion":.

Knowledge of Child Abuse
Progressive Understanding for Society in General
"People didn't have the body of knowledge 18 or 20 years ago to say that this is something that will harm your child emotionally, if you don't address it. Parents didn't know the seriousness ... and the long-term effects."
Dr. Gail Bethea-Jackson, LCSW-C, B.C.D., specializing in victimization, children and adolescent issues, and post-traumatic stress disorder
The lies & excuses that this lady spouts as fact, "We did'nt really see child abuse as a criminal matter 18-20 yrs. ago"
Then why the hell were there laws against it 18-20 years ago? Thatt they would put this quacks opinions on their website as a defense blows my mind & is insensitve in the extreme.
there's an article at msn about how british scientists have discovered that fish do feel pain.
animal activists are having a fit.
so, fisherman everywhere, i implore you.......repent!
That's why i kill 'em right off the bat, not put 'em on a stringer. I never believed that' they don't feel pain crap
hillary,.
you seem rather well-educated about inside workings of the watchtower so i'm hoping that you might know the answer to my question.
i have asked it on several threads but no one seems to know.
Also, lest we forget, there are numerous, most in fact, where they don't even follow the law of the land in reporting, going to great lengths tho discourage parents & victims from reporting these crimes. This is a worldwide jw precedent
i'm wondering if i should just "come out of the closet" and tell my family i don't believe it anymore and da myself or don't make any noise and fade out?
what are the benefits or problems with either choice?
additionally, some have expressed concern over da.
Don't give 'em the satisfaction of following their "rules". Why , if you don't believe, should you still allow there archaic, draconian bullshit? Slow fade!!!
jgnaut, .
: much of the hebrew scriptures is a dispassionate account of israels history.
most of the hebrew scriptures is total bullshit written after-the-fact so that israel could make them look better in history than they actually were.
Not to mention leviticus, numbers, & deuteronomy, which read like city health code to me.
