New here

by EMTmom in

jw
friends

first i just want to say how much this forum has helped me.

i get on here every day and read what's new.

i am 27 years old and have been married since i was 18 (since there isn't anything else for a good sister to do besides get married or pioneer and i wasn't about to pioneer.

EMTmom - So glad to have you here! I found this site after being out of the borg for ten years. I felt sooo alone with no one to talk to or bounce ideas off or even just to vent some. This place is heaven sent. It's become my home, and the people here are the best.

I am so sorry you lost your mom to that damned blood issue. I agree with the others regarding your hubby though - don't push. There are others here who are in the same situation and either you can search them out by starting a thread, or they will find you through postings and such.

I was a mom at the age of 17 and had both my girls in my 19th year. Married at 17 too, but it was all 'worldly'. We were posted to Lahr, West Germany (before the wall fell) and with hubby #1 gone most of the first year, I was prime bait for the witnesses. I was baptized before I returned to Canada. In the end, it was my hubby who forced me out by starting a rumor about me (in a small town). I still don't know what I was Df'd for. I refused to go to my judicial hearing. I had just come out of the hospital for three months having gotten the foundation to dealing with my childhood and the elders were on my case. (both before I went in and the very day I came home)

I'm thrilled to be out; thrilled to have this site; thrilled that my kids weren't completely raised as JWs. In fact, both of them hate the organization.

Welcome to a really supportive place EMTmom.

hugs, Mimilly

Iranian Murderer To Be Thrown Off Cliff in a Sack

by ISP in

iranian murderer to be thrown off cliff in a sack

an iranian murderer is to be executed by being thrown off a cliff in a sack.. an iranian newspaper says if the man from the north-western city of mashhad survives, he will be hanged.. the carpenter was convicted of raping and killing his 16-year-old nephew.. the daily express says his nephew worked as an assistant at his shop.. the man has 20 days to appeal against his sentence.

thats a variation on a theme.

Mimilly

That's exactly the kind of punishment any pedophile should get. Like the rapist and murderer of the 5yr old girl in California (was it CA?), or in the VanDamme case and any other proven pedophile - that includes ALL of such hiding out in the WTS.

Lethal injection is too good for people who prey on kids, as is being locked in a special part of a prison so as not to suffer the inmates code of "No kiddy-diddlers".

Wrap 'em in a sack and let them sweat it out - cos they would dammit, and let them feel every single injury slowly. And heck, if that don't kill them (it would damned well scare them) then hang the monsters in a completely black room.

I guess this shows my dark side.

Marked for death

by kenpodragon in

jw
friends

when i think of the issue of disfellowshipping, i am often reminded of the nazi death camps.

often in the early days of nazi recruitment, the nazi's would encourage the new young members to report what was going on at home.

those with the best information, were rewarded with the most responsibility and authority.

Mimilly

Dragon - That last paragraph is a keeper. Your dead on. I can remember when a rumor was sent around the tiny town I lived and worked in. A rumor started by my own husband who was worming his way into the JWs graces in order to beat me into submission. The interrogations started, and after several of these gestapo meetings, my doctor had to put me on tranquilizers. I went to every meeting, was pleasant as though nothing was going on, tried to answer at meetings, continued in service with the entire congregation shunning me on rumor only. I was not reprimended or reproved. But the rumor stuck, as they do in small towns. Between holding my head high in the face of this, which was started by my own husband, and the ceaseless interrogations (there were too many to count; it was like they weren't going to stop until I admitted something I didn't do, or gave in out of their tortuous proceedings).

I ditto you - so glad to be out. They are not referred to as the Gestapo for nothing.

The Meaning of Names....?

by SpiceItUp in

jw
friends

there are some that are obvious and then others that just baffle me to no end..... yes i am talking about your user names.... do any of you have stories behind them or are they significant for some reason or are they just a word you made up?.

mine...well its easy.... i got the nickname of spicy back in nov of last year when i dyed my hair this crazy red color and the name of the color was "spiced ginger".

the rest of it is because i love to make things more interesting---- sorta of like adding a bit of spice to the stew (hopefully i come across as that as well .

Mimilly

My nick comes from a book I read....I think it was Bless the Child or something like that (was ages ago). A grandmother, named Mim, went to hell and back to protect her daughter and granddaughter from an evil, satanic society. She succeeded - of course, and I found the character's tenaciousness not dissimilar to mine. 'Mim' was already taken on the board, so I added 'illy', cos I can be silly - yes - really! Hence, Mimilly came about.

i've noticed many new ones to our lil community here and have been unable to welcome you all personally.

there is a great variety of people here and loads of information and support.

feel free to vent!

Lamia - yes hon, this site is very large. A good idea is to take a couple days to read through people's stories as well as 'old' posts. Oh - personally, I love British humour so 'bring it on'!

Welcome and again - hugs!

Been There - Both girls are doing fine. Youngest graduated and then turned 18 in the same week. Beth's bloodwork came back fine. We'll wait for the neurologist's appt. now. Both are working and I'm encouraging Shelene to get back in school this fall to upgrade her sciences. Some of those subjects are 'if you don't use them, you lose them' ones.

Matty - Will I be sent to jail for that? I miss you on MSN chat.

Grits - Regarding pics, some people use their own, others, for confidentiality reasons, do not. Mine is real - April this year. Regarding your idea for a newbie ed page - it's fantastic! Post your idea under the Suggestions section.

AjaxMan - Yer a sweet one Mr. A. (but I'm not better than anyone else - I'm afraid of heights)

For those wondering what hole I fell into - Along with Shelene's graduation prom and ceremony, my cousin got married on Shelene's birthday. During this time I also had four miserable dentist appointments and my mom was visiting. I haven't been well. Seems I have an abcessed molar - upper right last that has been causing me sinus and ear infections. Sigh. I'm presently on anti-biotics again, and will have a root canal soonly. At least I know what's up with my recurrent sinus and ear infections now. Stupid tooth!

Again - Welcome to all the new ones. (ps: feel free to email me, but put jwd.com in the subject line. I delete any email that I don't recognize due to past worm infections.)

Great big hugs - Mimilly

Please don't let anyone's comments send you away. If you find you do not get along with someone, then avoid them like you would do in your neighborhood. Ask for qualification if you don't understand someone's post before retaliating. Behind every post is a person. There is alot of humor and sarcasm here, which help in dealing with the pain and anger at the WTS's affect on our lives. Oh - and if you don't like the topic of a thread - don't read it.

I found this site after being isolated socially for ten years after the Borg. It has become very much a home for me. The information and support here is beyond comprehension. People here care enough to be truthful and incredibly supportive. The people here are treasures, plain and simple.

WELCOME! I look forward to getting to know each of you. I've read some of your posts, but have been unable to get into chat recently due to personal reasons (and it has nothing to do with this great site)

hugs, Mimilly

Lets use our freedom of speech!!!!!!!!

by haujobbz in

i think its about time we do something about jws organisation,we must take a stand and not hold back and the more of us that do it the better, otherwise there just going to get away with it in time.we must show these so called christians that we are powerful even if we r a minority.im up to making a stand by protest at assemblys.congregations etc.

I love these ideas! Joanna - as always - I love your posts.

The 'day' (or even a short festival of sorts) could include celebration for having survived; a healing part for the abused and general JW haunting; a 'memorial' for families torn apart and individuals lost (due to suicide or blood issue).

I love the ideas for the T-shirts. I still want to get a permit to wear a placard and walk on the sidewalk of the KH just around the corner (on a very busy street, even on Sundays) - while a meeting is going on. It would be simple - JW.com/educate yourself on this group for your own safety. (could also include Freeminds and Silentlambs) This would reach both active JWs AND the general public.

my .002 cents worth,

Mimilly
