so i just finished watching the latest cedars video on spanking children.
i like lloyd, and think that overall he does a good job covering issues in his videos.
but i've gotta disagree with him on this issue, to a point.. i don't agree with beating your children, but i do believe in spanking, when appropriate.
My mom used a riding crop. My dad just had to show me his hand. I swear it was the size of a fry pan. š±
Honestly I couldnāt see spanking my kid. We do tap her hand when she throws food but usually thatās only when we have told her repeatedly not to throw. We donāt go for pain though, just a tap and a āno noā.
Shes our first so we are still learning.
this is simply disturbing and infuriating!.
the may 2019 wt has defiantly and arrogantly been released by the gb, and it is full of their disgusting excuses for not complying with authorities!.
(i have seen and read all the articles, but cant work out how to upload a link here - perhaps someone can assist?).
Sick. They want to help victims but they also do nothing to stop those who abuse children.
What a disgusting bunch of hypocrites.
hello everyone i just wanted to give a quick life update as it is three years since being out of the cult.

these last years have been amazing especially since izabella has been home with us.

These last years have been amazing especially since Izabella has been home with us. Sheās almost 22 months old and she is doing amazing!!
Sheās walking and saying a couple of words. Whatās amazing is we will show her a toy or an item and then ask her to get it and she will. So she understands a lot more words than she can say. Sheās also in school two days a week with a head start program and that is doing wonders for her development.
Canāt tell you how lucky we are to have this little one with us.
Anyways at this point in time my wife is pregnant again with a boy and heās doing well. Sheās 22 weeks along and so far heās been keeping up. So at 36 weeks my wife will have a c-section if all goes well.
I also finally made a YouTube video of our exit. Itās quite long but if youāre interested Iāll leave the link.
If it wasnāt for this community we would not be were we are at now so I humbly thank each one of you for your input and your dedication to truth.
Oh by the way, 3 memorial invites in one day? Not sure what that was all about and on the day of??? Strange.
yes, my keurig bit the dust after 14 years.
i want one just like it but that models not available.
it was only capable of a single cup, from 8 ounces to 12 ounces.
Hamilton Beach Flexbrew. Now Iāve only had it for a year but itās been fantastic! It does not hold water however so it needs to be filled for each use but you control the amount of water. Also has a pot option and strong brew for each the single serve and pot coffee.

23 years out and i'm still purging this trash.
.
i still have 1 box of jw stuff left.. .
You can try a lot sell on eBay but the shipping would be killer. Iād imagine they would fit perfectly in a large dumpster somewhere. Thatās what I did with mine.
i sneakily read his books at work.
it was written in such a way that no one could accuse him of being another bitter old apostate.. once it registered in my brain, especially after reading the second book, i knew i had to get out!.
Reading CoC helped me escape mentally without feeling the guilt. It was a blessing. Without it I may not have been able to leave with such a carefree attitude.
just beyond frustrated with my jw mother.
sheās a prescription drug addict.
sheās been that way since before i was born.
My father-in-law is her overseer and I had to let him and my Mother-in-law know what was going on with her because she called and said some nasty things to them recently. I guess mom wanted to do phone territory but wouldnāt meet with her congregation. She asked for some territory and he said no and she got pissed.
Anyhoo they were over recently to see the little one and they asked if mom was ok and I let them know the whole deal with her. They hardly have had contact with her since the wife and I married 20 years ago. The family dynamic is strange.
So the short answer is yes, the elders know that sheās a lying druggie. Not sure if they will do anything about it. Probably not.

Just beyond frustrated with my JW mother. Sheās a prescription drug addict. Sheās been that way since before I was born. She used to feed me pain drugs when I was a kid. She gave me shingles once when I was a teenager so she could get meds for herself cheap. Sheās emotionally manipulative and abusive. She pretends to be a witless but swears like a sailor and keeps her high going all day with the 9 different pain killers she takes. Sheās a horrible human being. She is my mother.
I cannot believe that with a blood count of 7 that she will be around for very much longer. She does everything in her power to stay as sick as possible. Sadly the family just doesnāt care anymore. We have tried countless times to get her off the drugs and she just keeps going back. So all her kids have written her off. Sure we make sure she has food and a roof over her head but thatās it. I donāt even bring my daughter over because I canāt trust her to be safe.
Anyways I had a long talk with her about the drugs and her blood count and that her only short term alternative now is a blood transfusion. But she wonāt do it. Sheās been āfaithful for 46 years.ā š¤Ø Faithful my ass! Shes only doing this so we will feel sorry for her and you know what? I donāt anymore. Sheās chose her drugs over her family again! Sheās the reason why I wonāt take pain meds. Iām deathly afraid Iāll end up like her.
Rant over. Just needed to get this off my chest.
Heres a recent pic of Izabella.
