Would you condone abortion?
by haujobbz intoday i questioned my mother about the fact that she told me ?
yrs ago how she lost 2 kids through a miscarriage but then later told me she aborted them,well i didnt know what to say, but then later questioned her about this i asked her why she did it, she told me that she was already bringing up me and my sister and financialy impossible to look after two more kids,well i didnt agree with that reason or any reason to kill the unborn she then said she wasnt in the truth then "huh what difference does that make".
then she gave an illustration of reasons when you should condone abortion and it goes like this, if you were raped and later found out you were pregnant what would you do she seemed to say she would abort it,i said i wouldnt if that happened to my wife i said i would probably end up having it adopted,after all its better than murder.. how has this affected my familys view on abortion i wonder, well i have 5 sisters and 1 more brother,and already my brother in cold blood made his girlfriend abort hers due to the inconvienience,and also my older sister had hers aborted 2 yrs ago because the father didnt want to know with out a hint of regret,so im now starting to see a pattern in my family,whos to blame them or my mother as a role model.. so to cut a long story short do you think killing an unborn child is murder,would you do it under certain scenarios.

I got to be honest here people. I know alot of stupid people in this world who really do not deserve to breed. If they choose to end the 'life' of a child, there is a good chance that that child was not going to have a good life anyway. Abortions are usually because of rape, or a spouse cheated, or they are 15 or omeone had a one night stand. They are not usually some loving couple who decide this isn't right and decide to use abortion as a form of birth control. Granted, some of those children might succed. But the fact that there is a percentage of people who are mistakes who become successful doesn't hold any water with me. There is a real statistic that says you might wake up tomorrow in a rain forest.
If you can't handle it and you know it, more power to you. But, as with any difficult decision, learn from your mistake the first time.

"The Bible clearly states that NOTHING that you take into the body defiles it. It's what comes out of the mouth. So you can inhale but you can't exhale."
Question......
How do you see the JW view of blood tranfusions?

BRAIN DEAD KINGDUMB WITNEESES
by minimus init truly amazes me to see how so many jw's are brain dead.
i spent the last few days with some witnesses and they complained about this elder, that congregation,these rules that are enforced in one congregation but not another, how truly boring the meetings are, how holy spirit could not have appointed brother so-and-so.
i heard how an elder in a nearby congregation is really a thief and a liar.

Thank for the welcome. I'm so glad I found this place. I was feeling so alone.
They knew tongue placement because I friend who I had confided in told them. You can only trust yourself.

I know someone who was expelled for smoking. That same committee privately reproved some girl for having an abortion. The religion is just fucked.

Yes. Loose conduct, especially for an elders daughter. There were many elders I knew who believed that. I grew up a Spanish Congregation in Chicago. My father was one of the first elders ever. All of the Spanish elders viewed kissing as loose conduct, but we were allowed to have parties every weekend and dance salsa. Go figure.

An Outcry! revisited!
by libra_spirit inthanks for all your comments on my recent post an outcry!.
well i placed my outcry on many ex-jw sites and the result is very obvious to me.. it would seem that most ex-jw's are so caught up in new "like mind" groups that most cannot see beyond this and join in one united effort, one voice.
never was this more evident then the christian ex-jw's boards.

WHAT"S THE FUNNIEST THING YOU'VE SEEN???
by minimus ini remember years ago after giving a public talk, the sister who was playing the piano had to rush to the front of the hall to get ready to play the opening song for the watchtower study.
what she didn't realize was that her dress was neatly tucked in to her pantyhose for all to see,since she had just come out of the bathroom.
the attendant was trying to literally run behind her to tell her of what she was exposing, but couldn't keep up with her.

Once I was a public talk and the brother speaking realized his fly was open. He turned around and zipped it and it got stuck!!!

At 17 I was publicly censored for kissing some guy. Three elders decided to censor me. A week later the circuit overseer who had gotten in many debates about other issues not relating to me with my father, called them and then bethel. I was then publicly censored and my father removed as an elder. He was so well known in that several sisters called me up and told me how embarrassing I was to him and asked me how I could do this to him. This forced me to eventually leave my home at 18 because of the shame I felt. And after 15 months of the elders searching for me I went in search of them. At 19 I was dis-fellowshipped because I walked in the kingdom hall and handed in a three page confession letter. I said that I had finally lived up to the once whore and sinner like person everyone once thought me to be. For three years I was convinced that Armageddon would come and I would die. Today I'm an atheist. It takes a lot to deprogram 18 years of brainwashing. It's hard to lose your family, especially when youre competing with god. Especially when you really, really believe. The truth is organized religion is for the weak. God exists to make us feel better about this miserable thing we call life. So be patient with them. There time will come.
