I don't know if it is the same where you are but where I live it is a common practise of JDub`s to withdraw their kid`s from school at about year 8 even younger in some cases. They say they are being home schooled & of cause they do cover a certain amount of school topics. Don't get me wrong I`m not saying that it is wrong to home school a youngster, especially if they are being bullied or suffering in some way, but the JDub`s don't do it for this purpose, oh no their kid`s are out on the field service during what would be school hours. I`m not talking here of a couple of kid`s I`m talking a mass. For those that do manage to stay they never go past year 10, I know of only 2. One was my own kid the other an elders daughter that did go on to uni. We have many congs here some have upward of 20 youngsters in them, it is so sad & I personally find it disgraceful, Is it the same where you are?

Hello Jorden it`s nice to meet you. I was reading your post & I had this thought, (please correct me if I`m not making any sense) we have all had to overcome this problem in our lives at some stage, when we move schools/ jobs/house/town/state/country/even congs. & we do it don't we because we accept it as a normal part of life. So why so hard when it comes to leaving the BORG? maybe it`s because we have been indoctrinated that it`s not normal to change our minds, that the people on the outside are some how not like us & so we are afraid, we have spent so long rejecting them that now maybe they will return the favour. We have spent years being watched & judged for every thing we say & do. We end up with that same scary feeling we got our first day at high school, everyone can relate to that but we conquered & survived for some it was harder than for others but we did it. So you could try viewing it this way that its a move to a different place or house, you did it before you can do it again. Just a different way of looking at it so you don't feel so overwhelmed. Hope it helps. SABIN. P.S we will be your friends.

looking for a thread about 1006= elders knew=.......
by carla ini have been searching the better part of this morning to find the thread in which somebody commented on 1006 known pedophiles which equals 3 elders at each jc and the totals on how many elders did not report to police (3000?
) and also how many known victims in australia.
i think they also broke it down to how many victims that would average each week/month for the last 60 + years.

mad irish man your point is a good one, it`s also interesting that the priest was found to have raped 400 boys in his career. It gives a little insight to the lengths these sick bastards will go to. So when you think these are the same type of characters in the borg it makes you realise that the numbers of children we are talking about will be huge. One ex-elder I know of from Sydney, so far 17 girls have come forward but their will be many who wont. & yes while it was a taboo subject doesn't the Borg pride itself on being so much more advanced in this field than everyone else. So please some-one explain to me where they have an excuse, they by their own admission should have been the first to be on top of the situation. I cant help but feel that God would be as disgusted with them as he was the Pharisees. You know when you watch the R.C. interview with Geoff wanker Jackson, he looks amused by the whole thing. I think they have legally covered their arses, twisted the scriptures to suit their own ends & are actually laughing at the R.C. & mocking the victims. They are as guilty as the pedo`s, period. -

Why won't they simply change policy on sex offenders? Will they?
by punkofnice inwhy won't they (the wbt$ head honchos), simply change policy on sex offenders?
will they?..especially after the arc for eg?
it seems that with all the bad press and now the arc among other institutions that are exposing the wbt$ for a haven for paedophiles, why hasn't the wbt$ simply changed it's insane policy?.

Superficial charm, insincerity, egocentricity, manipulativeness, grandiosity, lack of empathy, exploitativeness, independence, rigidity, stubbornness, & dictatorial tendencies. Thats why they will do what ever it takes to get out of it, cause nobody tell`s them what to do, right. Got ask yourself what the hell their hiding, cause they are hiding something that's for sure nothing adds up. -

Are you angry for having been a JW?
by Half banana ini remember seeing the ex-jws parading around outside the assembly like lepers holding placards of hate.
we were the righteous and enlightened ones... and they were lost in outer darkness.
just dont look at them was the standard response to their unwelcome presence..

anger, it`s not a bad emotion. left to go on though it can be a root cause for depression which unchecked can be dangerous. When bad things happen to you & no-one stands in your corner instead they join in & rejoice it is devastating. Yes I feel angry, strangely enough not as angry as I was when I was in. I found these people just didn't care about anything except themselves. I would find myself constantly defending the weaker ones even against the fuck wick elders. I watched while they took advantage of weaker ones for their own gain. I should no-longer be surprised by it but I am, at least now it`s not in my face. If your angry then be angry, kick scream cry, then breath. These things show you your alive. -

Talk with a witness, my " Final Showdown"
by The Rebel inyesterday a witness friend asks why i don't attend the k.h anymore.. me:- " i don't say this often but your j.ws opinion is wrong" .
the end.. my reasons for this simple reply were:-.
a) i have grown tied of reading j.w crap.

Rebel, if you are happy with your response then it was the right response. I get what your saying you can just end up going round in circles with them & their not interested anyway, they just go running back to the elders & say bad stuff about you. Good for you wanting to get on with your life & be positive. You don't need any-ones approval. -

Name Things You Can't Do If You Are JW...or not supposed to do
by minimus inwitnesses are not supposed to stand for the national anthem but can stand for a flag salute.. you can't say bless you if someone sneezes, good luck!, or " you too" if someone says, happy holidays.. it is a religion of cannot dos.
everything is pagan and worldly.. what are things that are unacceptable to jehovah's witnesses that really are no big deal to everyone else?
?.
