hey folks, not to send chills through anyones spine, but it has come to my attention, there was a former member to this forum that seems to be causing some members (women) some problems and unnecessary grief.

district assembly 5/24/03 3:40 pm "beware of the voice of strangers".. 1) counterfeit words: beware of those using "counterfeit words".
2) flirting: young ones need to avoid being lured into relationships with un-believers.. 3) you trust your christian parents...listen to them.
you also trust those taking the lead among you..such as elders.
I remember the ''threat'' of the time being:
television ( all three channels)!
Skating rinks
"Worldly Music""
"Worldly Dancing"
''The Generation Gap" , uhg, for a decade, the 70's
Clothes
more than one ear-peircing
disco
tattoo's
movies
peanut butter, (jiff)
lsd
marijuana
and most of all ''demonic influence''!
They just stay attuned to the latest fad, and act accordingly. I'm sure now it is rap music, the internet, tattos, body pircing, tv, movies, ecstacy, marijuana, and most of all, demonic influence!!
Some things never change.
have any of you been stuck in a rut when filling out a job application when it came to filling out that dreaded portion that requires you to:.
list at least 3 persons who are not related to you who have known you for 5 or more years.. .
it's that moment that you can't list all your "friends" in the borg, because they are not going to give you a true reference regarding what kind of person you are.
omg!!!
I just went through this, literally moments ago!!!! uhhg!
we all have so much in common here, no joke.
I have been out for many years, and have ''kept to myself'' for a long time, then I go to fill out an app
and duh!!!
Also, the problem of being a wife and mom to four kids for the past 18 years, I'm real impressive, huh?
i have to tell you that if you are currently shunned, although it may be painful....you are actually better off imo.
having had it both ways now, i am convinced that it was less painful than being halfway accepted (as i am now because my dad is sick).
my conscience is clear and it feels so good but at the same time i am in more pain than when i was shunned.
you are so sweet and good, do not let anyone take that from you!
I just lossed my Dad in October, and I still hurt. The worst part is, we were not close. I don't think you will ever regret taking care of your Dad. It will be your biggest comfort. Ya know what? I bet he knows it too. and appreciates it.
unnecessary rant:.
dammit.
i hate the kingdom hall even more than before.
well, I am not ''satan'' but welcome to the board! lol
It is terrible to lose family members, and terrible to lose pets. That is so sad.
I remember when I was a teenager, and had to ''go to the meetings'', I was so embarrassed. Leaving home to go, in stupid looking dresses, my bros in suits, and the neighbors playing baseball, and staring at us.... humiliating.
I also remember at that time, an hour seemed like years. I couldn't envision being free. But it will happen. Dont give up, start planning tomorrow today!
So glad to have you here, I look forward to hearing more from you!
for the court hearing on july 17, i need examples of jehovah's witnesses who have kidnapped children out of hospital or not provided essential medical treatment.
this would include children who died for refusing a blood transfusion or needed phychiatric care and commited suicide.
incase i have been to busy to say thankyou, please forgive me.
Dear Shunned Father
I will be of little help, but it is a parents constitutional right( in the US) to raise their children. on those grounds alone, you will prevail. are you in the usa? Tell me what state, and I can look up cases for you. Good luck!
i was reviewing the study articles in the may 15, 2003 watchtower.. the first article: "christ speaks to the congregations" is rather hard hitting against (so-called) apostasy and sectarianism.
the conclusion of paragraph 6 says:.
"to maintain the purity of jehovah's worship and to protect the congregation, therefore, they (true christians) do not extend the hand of fellowship to unrepentant apostates.".
Wow. thanks for that post Oroborus.
Obviously, we apostates are speaking with a unified and loud voice! Waaahooo!
Got 'em on the run, no doubt!
