  Intro how can you be "over it completely" if you are here?? LOLOL!
  The JWs will never be out of your life if you have family in there to constantly remind you of it. As I do. I have taken all my rage and my hatred and my contempt and my loathing...and those are the GOOD thoughts....towards the WTS and redirected that energy into informing others about them and keeping others from becoming JWs or helping them when they want to leave. I know I cant fix my current situation, nor can I blot out my 13 years in the organization. So...Im making lemonade with those lemons. It helps me a lot to know Im helping others. Its like being raped..you cant erase the rape but you can help other rape survivors.

  WTS visits Apostate Website! (again)

  in february i reported that the watchtower society visited my website (click here for the february post).

  i think they were a little frightened by this exposure and masked their identity while surfing apostate websites because i never saw them back in my stats.

  but today i caught them again:.

  1:46 Greenwich Mean Time.

  i've just come back from a walk into town.

  today is a fairly leisurely day, the sun is shining, the tide is in and breakfast in tesco's beckoned.. here and there, the union jack is flying at half-mast in honour of the victims at the wtc.

  marks and spencer's, tesco's and other stores too are displaying signs that business stops for 2 minutes at exactly 1:46.. there's lots of schools, businesses and factories observing a two-minute silence also.

  Its overcast here in S. Florida...which is very rare actually. The sun gone, calm and dark and pensive. I watched Dateline last night and watched the horror all over again, the stories, the hope, the sorrow, the incredible EVIL that caused this deliberate abomination. The innocents who both died and were their survivors. This morning, programs began at 8 AM people pouring into ground zero, a flowing field in Pennsylvania, the masses converging on the Pentagon, the troops in Afghanistan, the Royalty in England, the silence at 8:46 EST US. I watch those buildings come down over and over and over with some fascination I cannot explain, and I think perhaps I just cant wrap my mind around it. I cant conceive that those buildings fell. I believe that Bin Laden knew that they would...knew if he found the right spot...they would come down. He tried a few years ago when he bombed the parking garage...and I know he knew...they would come down with well placed missiles.

  God bless America...and thank you to all those in other countries who mourn with us. You have lost some of your sons and daughters that day too.

  Date: circa 1775
  1 : PURGATION

  3 : elimination of a complex by bringing it to consciousness and affording it expression

  Since your parents are still in you wont ever be able to expunge Jehoover from your life. And I have found that keeping MY defenses up to date helps me to deal with the JWs in my life and the shunning I get. Unfortunately or fortunately, its the one subject I know best at this point in my life and if my knowledge can help anybody stay OUT of this cult...its worth my time staying abreast of it.

  I have to go with Minimus on this one...the JWs dont give a flying ____ who you are. If you are a FORMER JW they are not going to entertain you, let alone sit down with you and discuss THEIR doctrine and policies. They wouldnt do it while he WAS a member why in hell would they do it after they kicked his ass out?

  Im sure they got a good laugh about this letter at Bethel UK tho. Huffing and sticking their noses in the air over their superiority in the situation. They didnt give a shit about their differences in doctrine between Bulgaria and the US on the sanctions for taking blood did they? Or the differences on party cards between Malawi and Mexico? Or the changes in being DFd to just being DAd if you decided to take blood as a JW? Or the response differences when they got caught being members of the UN? They do whatever is BEST FOR THEM and they just hope not to many people compare notes on them.

  Refiners Love...this is why God created the Play Date :) You cant pick your neighbors and you cant pick your nose...and you definitely cant pick your neighbors nose...well anyway. Im hoping you have access to other kids. Parks, recreation like baseball or soccer. Get him out get him away so he cant see them. If he is occupied with other things and kids, they will fall to meaninglessness and he wont feel like he is being punished for something he didnt do. Let him know that mom and dad cant always "fix" things, and that sometimes its just better to move on than try to manipulate a bad situation. This will only recur with this schizo..I guarantee it. She will find something else to ban him for and will rather enjoy the hurt she brings on him. Best for all of you to avoid them. I would NOT want my kids in her home where I couldnt SEE them!

  Every neighborhood has this type...no point in you moving again you know?
