  This article is very interesting still it would make all who try to reach out and commune with their creator bad or narcissistic.

  The narcissist becomes God by observing His commandments, following His
  instructions, loving Him, obeying Him, succumbing to Him, merging with
  Him, communicating with Him

  Trying to get to know the one who made you and all things does not make a person bad, controlling, manipulative, or abusive to others!

  Some persons such as myself have chosen to make our relationships with the creator very personal. I believe relationships are best one on one. There for there is no one I can impose my will on in the name of God. If someone asks me why I do things a certain way I can share that and they can decide for themselves what they wish to do.

  We do have a family bible reading but my children are allowed to decide what they believe and share it with me.

  We allow our friends to believe as they chose with no ridicule or judgmental lectures.

  Would we be considered narcissists? We do our best to observe Gods commandments, follow His instructions, and love Him. Obey Him, succumb to him, and merge with Him. And yes through prayer communicate with Him.

  Although, it is true people use others wish to be close to their creator as a tool to abuse and control others. Not all who wish a relationship with God are bad.

  Just thought Id ad my 2 cents.

  Ciao 4 now,

  P.S. Reminds me of so many of the 'true-believer' JW's, especially the males. Oh Dan..quite a few elderrettes where true blue narcissists through and through! Wielding their condescending power left and right! Men do not own the patent on evil! Sweet of you to imply so.

  2. experiences

  mine was at the kh giving a talk - got muddled up and almost said the f word into the mike.

  in fact - i said it in my mind or under my breath and then panicked because i thought i had said it out loud but the audience didn't seem to react so i new i must have not said it out loud.

  i wonder if anyone noticed me breaking into a cold sweat........... anyone got any more?

  Ok.so as not to allow my daughter to become a true murderess I will kill the thread!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

  When I was 16 I went to the beach with my friends and we swam out to the diving raft......while out there we all took turns trying to out do each other with our spectacular diving talents! When it was my turn I did a most spectacular dive and upon rising out of the water my bathing suit top came off!

  My friends who were boys insisted I didnt really need it anymore anyway as they didnt wear them.....but modest child I was I made them keep swimming around a looking for it!

  There....now I have saved my daughter from being a true thread killer!

  ONE-WITNESS POLICY

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is, i believe, a very important scripture for jehovah's witnesses to read -- because it proves that in the mosaic law, there was a one-witness policy for rape!.

  i want to give a huge thank you to "nanoprobe" for pointing this out on another thread!

  i think everyone should ask the society about this scripture!.

  Scully you beautiful woman you!!

  I just love your article!!

  When I was in The Truth, learned of the abuse and how it was handled, I used to say I would call the police 1 st and elders second. When asked what if they dissfellowshipped you? I would say let them do what they please I will protect my child.

  When I found out of a girlfriends daughter I did call DCFS. I have to say they failed my girlfriends daughter just as miserably as the elders did with one exceptionDCFS did make my girlfriend get her husband out of the house! They never put him in jail but the home was safer.

  Here is a thread started by UnDisfellowshipped

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=35547&site=3

  It has some very pertinent comments that show the 2 witness rule is not only not biblical but also unjust!

  Scully.your amazing gurlfriend!!

  More Fuhrman & JW's

  by jazbug in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  mark did another 30 min.

  today on the jw child abuse issue with an attorney from here who handles abuse cases.

  elder mike was back on and made a bigger fool of himself than last week, this attorney says he has dozens of jw's who call email him every week concerning sex abuse.. mark was a little surprised to discover how many pending lawsuits there are against the wts, several here in spokane.

  I do think it is great that The JW Sex Abuse Scandal is getting such wide spread coverage!

  Thing is, is Mark Fuhrman hero of the 75% Anglo Nation is the guy who screwed up the O.J. Simpson case!

  He let racism and jealousy of a successful non-white get in the way of justice.

  Now Mr. Lives in an Exclusively Anglo Neighborhood (saying this to show his ignorance) is a glory hound and it seems to me he is the type to use the suffering of those abused by The WT to his own gain.

  These abuse victims need legitimate media exposure not a Jerry Springer Style Circus Performance!

  He is the kind of man that would discredit the WT abuse victims and their cause by making them look like fools.

  I think The Silent Lambs need more shows like 5 th Estate to pick them up and tell their side.

  I have to say you Canadians have a heck of a News Show there! Class act.

  My 2 cents,

  Ciao 4 now,

  P.S. Although it doesnt sound like it.I am excited for the exposure of The Abuse Victims.
