I agree with virgochik. My first thought was how awful that there's yet another victim (who knows how many silent victims there are!), but thank goodness this is someone who is speaking up and telling the world what happened. Watchtower Corp has so very much to answer for. I hope that they are increasingly hit where it really hurts -- their bank accounts.

We're Jehovah's Witnesses Witnesses
by laverite inwhat i value most about jwn is that this site, with the massive numbers of posts and experiences shared here, is a very strong public world-wide witness on the impact of the watchtower publishing corporation has on the lives of jehovah's witnesses (both current and former).. the countless lived experiences shared here stand as a public record of first hand experiences.
in sharing our experiences, we witness to others about our (former) religion.
rather than espousing the truthtm, we speak to the real truth about the truthtm.

rob lowe should get an oscar for his performance.and matt damon was beleivable in his role.. i watched this movie not knowing what i was going to see,and on a scale of 1 out of 10 i would give it an 8. smiddy.

I'm so sorry, ADD for what you have been through. Growing up in an abusive JW home SUCKS....So MANY of us have that in common. Again, I am so sorry. I wish I had words of wisdom for you, really I do. Take it easy, if you can. Try to absorb the new information. Don't rush anything. Do what feels right to you and what you are comfortable with. I don't think there's a right way to do things here or a wrong way. Hugs to you.

A Birthday Indiscretion?
by DT ini grew up as a jehovah's witness so i had to deal with all the issues of not celebrating holidays at school.
i took this pretty seriously and was pretty vocal every time something came up that violated my religious beliefs.. yet, it seems that there are always gray areas.. one day, my teacher announced that we would be making birthday cards for mcdonalds.
i don't remember which birthday it was except that it was a round number.

Smiddy,
I think any movie that is well done can be enjoyed regardless of sexual orientation. I think a great movie is a great movie regardless if the characters are straight, bi or gay. I personally don't see any need to turn away from sex scenes (straight, gay, group, kinky, etc.), but different people have different levels of comfort. Enjoying or admiring a movie whether it is gay or straight themed has absolutely nothing to do someone's sexual orientation.
I think your post is great, Smiddy.
