How awful to not feel secure in your own home.
Is there a support group for victims of violence near you who could offer advise and practical help? His behaviour is not acceptable.

i stole this from another forum and everyone was a born in.
has anyone on here actually been converted in door to door ministry since 1995?
all comments are welcome as to how you were sucked in.
I had my first study in 1984 when an elder out on field ministry knocked on my door. I was a depressed and struggling single Mum who had been studying the bible alone when he called. Big coincidence!
I invited him in because he recognised me from when I lived in Norway. My dad had been his boss out there. Two huge coincidences!!!
Baptised April 1998.
It took so long because I just couldn't give up smoking for the prerequisite 6 months without relapsing to qualify.
we've all heard these experiences.. in fact, jehovah's witnesses are obsessed with them.
the pioneer who needed 80 to fix their car & somehow (without having told anyone .
now, if you believe that these sort of experiences are true, you are basically saying that god is actively arranging help for someone who is in need.
When "brother respected" is sodomising a child, Almighty God, the all powerful, omnipotent and loving Father who has as one of his cardinal atributes justice has 2 choices. Let it continue or rescue the child.
Nuff said!
how would someone photoshop the governing body riding the wild beast from the revelation climax book?
i will print and pass out hundreds if i can get a good photo of this.
let's preach "religion is a snare and a racket" .
This image is familiar to most witnesses and widely available.

Babylon The Great is the Mother of the harlot who rides on the back of the scarlet coloured wild beast and is drunk with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus.
Sounds about right to me especially when I think of the front cover depicting the children sadly passed away but paraded on the front cover of Awake.

n this ground-breaking film, historian tom holland explores how a new religion - islam - emerged from the seedbed of the ancient world, and asks what we really know for certain about its rise.
the result is an extraordinary detective story.

It isn't banned here
Tom Holland also responds to the programmes critics here
question to all those well versed in legal issues.
all jw's, when confronted with criticism, claim that apostates lie about the wt.
i always have wondered, given the litigious environment in which we live in western democracies, why the wts doesn't go after all those websites that publish so many "lies" about "the truth".. can this lack of action on the part of the wts be used as evidence of the truthfulness of the message in "apostate" sites such as jwfacts,.
Tell the truth and shame the devil Watchtower Society!

(Deuteronomy 16:14, 15) .?.?.. 15?Seven days you will celebrate the festival to Jehovah your God in the place that Jehovah will choose, because Jehovah your God will bless you in all your produce and in every deed of your hand, and you must become nothing but joyful.
And from this they get make a donation by card?! WTF!!!
i'm suffering from a vicious cycle.
put the research down - declare i'm not doing it anymore because it sickens me, ponder, make another aha connection, get sickened by it, put the research down, declare i'm not doing it anymore because it sickens me.. ponder.
i'm glad it's not just me.. i think my jw friend has been embarrassed one time too many with wt historical facts and so now he has asked me to help him understand my concerns and present him with some research that validates it.
And lets not compare Satan's achievements over the last 100 years to Christ's non achievemnet of anything other than to direct the preaching work..

obviously, this is a matter of subjective judgement - but that doesn't make it any less important.
it's something that has depressed me increasingly since 9/11 happened.. the good part is: i think we just hit a tipping point, a turnaround.. i think rand paul's filibuster crystallized a growing counter response to the loss of freedom in the us - and the western world.
We are getting closer and closer to a Police state here in UK.
The right to protest and march and free speech are hallmarks of our society. It's what our grandparents fought and died for.
If peaceful protest is banned then only one option will remain. It would appear that our once great nation is being sucked into a military style dictatorship, run by and for the benefit of the ultra rich. In fact, nothing has changed since the election. One might say its got worse. If the elections are just when we pick which of the ultra rich will rule us - its time to change the system.
Dissent is becoming a criminal activity. When free speech is outlawed, only outlaws will have free speech.
As the press went into overdrive about the vote to permit gay marriage, a House of Commons committee quietly axed amendments to the Justice and Security Bill that would have made it less damaging to your freedom.
This is the controversial Bill to allow ‘secret courts’ in the UK, so cases that are potentially embarrassing to government can be held behind closed doors.
As it now stands, defendants – or claimants in civil cases – will be excluded from the hearings where their fates will be decided. They will not be allowed to know or challenge the details of the case against them and will have to be represented by a security-cleared special advocate, rather than their own lawyer.
There are many demonstrations being planned here on March 30th to protest the welfare cuts. On Friday Cameron stated the disabled are exempt from the reforms but charities have shown 2/3rd of those affected will be the disabled. He doesn't even know or understand his own policies. The same day these cuts are enforced the ruling elite and millionaires get a tax break worth over £100,000 each!
