ssn587 - so much for their "brotherly love", eh? They've lost me too thanks to their actions.
LOL @ Talesin - we all have our blonde moments, hehe...
Zeddina - love you too
i'm walking around the street or shopping mall.
people almost walk into me.
umm, can't you see that a person is only inches away from your body?.

Mozart
Beethoven
ABBA
Queen
how many times (i can't even count them all) did you as a jw say "why would they answer the door in that?
" you know the 1/2 dressed or just not in shape for a visit.
so today, as i have stated, my internet has been down.
Lol, I hear ya. I hate being caught when I'm wearing my "comfy stuff". Especially as it means I'm bra-less too.
friendliness is a down-to-earth approach to others that is welcoming and positive.
think about a time when someone was friendly to you - maybe drawing you into a gathering, saying hello on the sidewalk, or smiling from across the room.
how did that make you feel?
I'm friendly in real life.
why do the some bethelites love to talk about the black mamba?
the answer is simple... fear.. have you heard about the "black mamba"?
yes, the "black mamba" and no, not kobe bryant, but the most poisonous snake known to man.. there was a big roar of laughter from some in the audience.. .
Black Momma... urh... Black Momba... Memba... Mamba
"Black Momma"???? Freudian slip, perhaps?
some of you were really nice.
some of you were really mean to me, and at this point in my life i can't handle such meanness.
i thought this would be my one place to truly express my feelings without too much mocking or insults from people who i thought were nicer, but i was wrong.
Is this the new adult version of "I'm running away"?
In this case, the author is still legally a child.
i regard the information below as true until proven false because of corresponding with a young man in s. africa for a few years whose story i posted on my website: http://www.watchtowerdocuments.com/stories/caleb.html, "freedom from an unsafe haven, by caleb.
" although some of the accounts of abuse of children in s. africa in the story below are older, calab wrote me details of abusive treatment meted out to young people in his area that he chose not to put in his story for fear he could be identified.
calab in now in university in another part of africa and very happy after breaking the chains that engulfed his mind.. barbara.
It's a personal testimony
Actually, it's not. The above article is NOT a personal story, but an accumulation of incidents that the author seems to know by hearsay.
The excessive use of exclamation marks adds to the sansationalistic nature of the article.
not worthy of such a hostile response IMHO
Questioning the style of writing and the use of generalisations instead of facts is not hostile, but simply questioning the veracity of the information provided.
Haven't we learnt not to accept anything just because someone says "I say so"???
many people who" become jw`s" through the ministry are people who are , at the time , in a vulnerable state.
{ lets face it had you been in your right mind you would never have accepted it right ?}.
many of the people who are" born in" are by that very fact vulnerable they never had a chance and were indoctrinated from an early age .. of course their going to have a lot of issues to deal with that history shows can take many years to shake off,if at all.. all i`m saying is i think we should give people a lot more space,and allow them to see the bigger picture that we can show them on this site,give them time to absorb the information thats available on this site,some of the things you learn here is a bit much to take in at first,beleive me i`ve been their .
I think most new posters are warmly welcomed and have their stories validated.
The only time I see hostility is when they start telling stories that don't add up, so posters become suspicious that the new poster is either trolling or just not being honest with the group.
This is a pretty laid-back website. You can't expect posters to act Disney-fied or have the fake Witness smiles for everyone. We all have a variety of backgrounds and will thus have a variety of responses. And variety is the spice of life!

Stop encouraging her, NC. The girl is only 17 and if what she says is true, she's too young to be posting here.
