  ok, i'm new to this site.

  i'm currently questioning a lot of things.

  i do not want to be "preached at" by either side; that'll just make me leave.

  Hi Wolfgirl,

  I add my "welcome" to you along with the others, and you have my compassion for the the abuse you've endured. (Btw: it makes sense that you "chose" an abusive man to marry; even if your memories were not in the front of your mind, survivors tend to hook up with abusive partners because they feel so "familiar." It takes much time and work (and a competent therapist!) to recover from a lifetime of lies and denial, and to acquire some self-esteem and dignity. I truly hope that the man with whom you are now in love can be supportive of your efforts to heal and get to the other side of this.

  What I'm wondering: can you be more specific about what it is you are trying to research? Do you have a particular objective in mind? Are you dealing with doubts within yourself that you should go "back" to the Borg? I remember from my 14 years' of involvement with them hearing constantly that being "among God's chosen people" is the ONLY "safe" place to be... so ironic, isn't it, when your story is one of thousands (millions?) proving that the opposite is true...

  I guess I'm wondering what would be of the most help for you right now. Perhaps you yourself do not even know (very understandable!). Whatever it is, you have found the best place for it, of that I'm sure.

  Wishing you the best,

  Helping Newbies Understand YOU KNOW

  by JT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those of you who may not be aware of who bobby is better know as "you know".

  allow me to share some things about this man that may help to shed some light on his mindset as a jw.. one of the most important things i have found when dealing with "loyal" jw on the net is to find out thier status with in the org, esp if they are male- .

  you see this organization is a "position" driven organization, esp for males and if they have no position within thier local congo - other than mike handler after being a jw for years then that means in most cases the male jw is considered a flunky- we have seen guys as young as 17 being appointed as ms-.

  Why dont JW's have a youth group?

  by In_between_days in

  1. social
  2. family

  something that has been alarming to my jw family is the amount of teens ("young ones") that have bailed out of the organisation, never to return.. they use the excuse, as would most jw's that "satan is getting them - he knows young ones are vulnerable.".

  if you want my opinion, young people are getting far more educated - they are becoming far more broad minded than they were say 10 or 20 years ago.

  because of the slow yet sturdy slackening of the "no college" rule, many more young jw's are attending university or college than ever before, and with further education comes more knowledge, more interaction with reasonable and intelligent conversations with educated people and most importantly -use of the internet ("satans latest tool, as put by a jw i talked to recently).

  The List of Names

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  starting tomorrow, i will be filling in the blank each day with the name of a "person of significance" that goes with the city, county and state.

  it's up to you to decide what this list is about ... feel free to add your own list of persons of significance.

  i cannot say anything negative that is untrue about such persons lest i libel them ... such as i could not tell you if any of these names are part of the list of 23,770, because i cannot prove it, and i don't have access to that list ... but as long as what i post is the truth, then that is my defense ... and may the watchtower dare to bring about a lawsuit ... nbc dateline and bbc panorama will also be invited to the party ... .

  ISP: thanks, my friend

  Macklin, hi!

  My son was in Auckland this morning and I was unable to reach him by MY phone (service provider probably having a meltdown like most other USA communications systems right now) and needed desperately to get a message to him - no emergency, but important enough...

  I've never been to your beautiful part of the world, but I'll hear all about it in a week or so!

  Right now, he's on a plane headed for Sydney -

  Watch out, ozzies -!!! There are 57 twelve and thirteen year old hormonal adolescents heading your way.....
