Is this the most important thread on this site?
by Mindchild indear friends,.
in light of the recent events on this site and the birthing of a new ex-jw online forum by bboy, i thought the most important thing i can offer any who are interested is an opportunity to positively and personally promote changes to make your online experience here not only more fun, but more rewarding to you personally.
i did a lot of searching for information about the evolution and changing of online communities and i discovered this article below that just blew me away with its insight and practicality.

But this isn't the borg. And there is something very very wrong here. Rapists get maybe 4 years; murderers get 25yrs. How does one compare murder with burning drapes under emotional duress to murder? You can't. I hope this guy sues.
It makes me sick when I heard this. My father got 1 year house arrest for 25 years of beating my mother. That's like giving him a vacation. (had my case gone through, he would be in jail - for a couple of years)
So something IS wrong with this story. Dude should sue.

Dearest Dede,
Hon, this is indeed the depths of being 'set up'. Vent, vent, vent! You need to on this one sweetheart. Even when we think we know how decrepid the borg is, we find out later that they've sunk lower, and lower etc.
The extremely positive point in this one is that you and WT have that MS already shaking in his shoes. You will have some kind of revenge with that snake. I feel sorry for his wife, yet she is better off knowing.
My email is open hon. Just don't do anything rash. Think this one through and get that sniviling serpent on camera. We can't take away the pain of how your father was involved, so vent that one out hon. I wish I was closer to give you a big hug.
always here for you,
Mimilly

Ahh, three Ms. Monster, Mimilly and Morrisamb! We are officially the M&Ms!
Those witnesses in the Philipines were people and regardless of whether they were in service or selling Avon - they did not deserve what happened. Unfortunately, that group is not known for letting people go. I feel very badly for the families of those killed and captured.

WERE YOU TREATED POORLY IN THE CONGREGATION?
by minimus inwhen you were associated in the congregation, were you treated in a way that made you feel like you were a 2nd class citizen?
how were you regarded?
were you the brunt of criticism or were you pretty much well-liked?

dantheman - I have been told by many people that I have a rare combination of intellect, common sense, humanity, affection, attractiveness and a youthful vunerability. So, if that is bewitching, fine. But it is no excuse to shun me without reproof, or error. And it is definitely no excuse to blame me for a man abusing me.
My name is Salem and I bewitch men! LOL. It is kinda funny, although back then my name was not Salem.
I understand what you are saying - I really do. It's just no excuse to abuse me, and I know you'd agree to that.

This one elder knew I'd been abused in the past by more than a few men, as well as my first husband who was eventually welcomed into the fold.
He said, and I remember cos I looked at him as though he had far too many heads to be human, that men could not help themselves around me - in other words, they became my pawns, needed me sexually, that they could not resist the combination of youth/attractiveness combined with maturity beyond my years. He said they couldn't help themselves as far as abusing me or wanting me enough to either covet or actually act on their weakness aka 'me'.
It was all bs. I was being blamed for their abuse of me. Yes, perhaps I was and am a paradox of sorts, being young etc with maturity beyond years, coming out of abuse yet being a loving person blah blah blah.... but it was not my fault; i did not ask for it. ETC.
Maybe some of the brothers, out of guilt, or even the elder himself, had 'thoughts' and they talked. I don't know. I only know what he said to me, and how I was treated. I did not dress in a provocative manner. Where he came up with this.... is anyone's clue.. He was on my DFing commitee though, so maybe the perv thoughts WERE his.

JWD a Dysfunctional Place?
by Victor_E inwith the recent blood baths we have seen in this forum it got me wondering of how you can objectively understand it and more importantly not let it affect you if you so choose.
what i write is not meant to be taken as gospel truth since there is no gospel truth nor is it my intention to get on my soap box since i left it when i walked out of the kingdom hall.
most of what i have to say is subjective based on personal experience and i feel no need or desire to debate anyone about anything i write.

Victor - again, an incredible post! However, I disagree with the title. I believe everyone is dysfunctional in one way or another.
I will be printing this one off. I love analogies. Thanks Victor.
hugs, Mimilly

Minimus - I use the word 'bewitch' because that is exactly the way the elder said it to me. It was as though I had a power over men and they couldn't help themselves around me - hence, my abuse.
So somehow, it was inherintly my fault due to my 'bewitching' powers. Utterly rediculas, then and now.
