SSC-Your account of life growing up in apartheid South Africa is riveting. Many years ago, I remember hearing an experience at the KH that told of the Borg in SA. Of course that example indicated that all the brothers loved each other equally regardless of their race, it was the secular authorities who wouldn't let them all associate with each other...it sounds like they didn't want to associate with each other in the first place.

A word of advice clining to their persecutors ...
by SecretSlaveClass inlet me start off by saying i do not presume to have the answers, i am merely offering advice.. i will preface this posting with this, cutting a long story short:.
my sister was raped by a popular jw lad wh's dad happen to be a rock star elder.
in the attempt to fight him off his face was covered with scratches and it was reported to the police ( instead of rape he was sentenced on the lesser charges of sexual battery and assault) but he confessed to having violent, consentual sex.

"And what happened next was simply unbelievable!"
by Terry ini always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.
i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.
so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".

Well played! I love how you had them verify that the media was accurate about the Catholic Church cover-up and then when they played the persecution-by-the-media card! You forced them to use critical thinking. It would be wonderful to be able to see into their heads right now...

So, I became very ill ... what did my loving brothers do?
by EdenOne inrecently i have fallen ill with a serious case of chickenpox (shingles).
three weeks down, high fevers, and the blisters attacked mostly my scalp and face, but then also my whole upper body.
i looked horrid, truly like a mutant monster out of a nuclear disaster.

Contacted by Royal Commission today
by umbertoecho infirstly, thank you to anyone who is in support of this rc.
no one has shown anything but great interest and empathy for those who were abused.. i don't know who this simonsays character is though and i find him to be very rude and ignorant.
it takes all kinds to make the world go round i suppose.. today i was contacted by a staff member of the royal commission.

Umbertoecho-Thank you for doing this. It is amazing that a 'worldly' group of people are willing to give a voice to those silenced by the GB. Wishing you the very best.

The Bold face LIE
by dugout inhey yall, this may have been touched on before, but i here a lot about the lies wt has told on this website.
so what are some of the bold outright lies the borg has told, past and present and can you prove it.

I agree. I know several couples in the same situation. The man is 'worldly' and the wife a believer. The husbands treat their wives very, very well. One of the husbands is in tech industry and as a couple they fly out west to an amazing spa for relaxation periodically. He accompanies her to the meetings on occasion. The biggest problem is the wives feeling guilty because the married 'out of the truth'.

How awful! Purposely getting rid of capital so they would not have to report child abuse! It is there in writing as plain as day. Despicable.
