  has anyone heard about the spike in those partaking in south florida?

  several sources have confirmed to me that in the kendall lakes congregation they had 11 new partakers at the memorial this year.

  in a nearby hall they had 6 new partakers.

  told on me of course.

  apparently, the other jw thought he was kidding.. i just said, you tell on me and take my family from me, we are done.

  we will get a divorce and you will lose me, your home, and more then likely won't get to see your kids everyday the way you get to now.

  That is so childish that your husband would go back and tell people at the hall. Good for standing up for what you believe in. I AM SO HAPPY to be out of that wack ass legalistic cult.

  I'm so sorry about your experience. I have pretty good teeth and I am trying to maintain them. Its really important to focus on your health and not take it for granted if its good. One of the dangerous things that JW's teach is that the world is gonna end at any moment. It is BY FAR the most dangerous teaching EEEEEVER, besides many others. You give up on living in this world, and you take the good in the present for granted. Wish I hadnt, I'm 30 years old, and while I've done a lot of things with my life, havent even done a quarter of the stuff that I want to do. My brother is still stuck on it, so is my parents. I get emotional because I was stuck on that for so long. I lay in bed and think about it all the time. Thats why I must expose this cult for what it is! I warn someone WHENEVER I talk to them! Anyone, black, white, young, old, ANYONE. Cause I dont want ANYONE wasting there time in that. THERE SO MUCH TO LIFE THEN THAT WACK ASS RELIGION! People take there good health and time for granted, and by the time they realize that they wasted time, thats when bad things start to happen. I just feel bad because most dubs are just brainwashed and it just takes a question to really get them to open themselves to the reality of the wachtowers lies, deceit, etc.

  Best of luck to you and your surgery. I'm gonna go and brush my teeth right now.

  I understand why he did it, but sometimes Christians want it both ways: They want freedom of religion, but they dont like free speech. (No Offense to Christians on here). Kinda reminds me something, or somebody...mmmmmmm.

  please click the louis armstrong video and read.. dear jehovah i approach you in jesus name this is what i want to say:.

  yesterday i tossed my farvorite toy "sparlock the warrior wizard" in the garbage can because my mommy who is one of your witnesses said it would make you sadly depressed.

  i beg for your forgiveness in jesus name, if i had known before hand i would have never excepted this gift from johnny my worldly friend who mommy said was most likely going to be destroyed at armageddon because his parents are worldly and make you very sad because they are not jehovah's witnesses like my parents.. and after thinking the matter over i decided to burn sparlock just to make sure you forgive me, i'm so so sorry i made you sad please don't take my life at armageddon.

  i know it is easy to go there, on this board, and blame the jehovah's witnesses.

  but being a dad, i can tell you that being a teenage girl in this day in age is hard.

  add to that, having such a famous father in your past with such strange stories attached to him.

  Wow people really bashing MJ in this thread. If people grew up the way that they grew up maybe they would understand. MJ didnt have a

  childhood. I know that MJ was a

  very faithful witness and he got disfellowshipped in 1987 after some drama went down with Latoya (his sister) and the elders.

  I am sorry that Paris tried to kill herself I know the Jackson family had a showdown last year.

  Cause the grandmama (MJ's mom) was taken away from Paris, Prince, and Blanket.

  Could be all the pressure of living in the shadows of a famous father. I dont know if MJ did, but calling him a pedo is very petty.
