i have asked the new webmaster to provide an explanation when he can.
Beans, i am offended at your statement., as i am a abuse survivor. We need SL and someone to expose the WTS. the only persons hurt here are the people who need these terrible thigns to be exposed./children and battered abused woman.

man they used to come up with some corny topics, and even worse covers.
it made an already unbearable task even worse.
the top of the crap pile for me was trying to place a magazine entitled the salty drink that saves lives.
a WT with a pic of the wild beast and BTG -i never thought of it as scary, but horrifed householder.Shut the door in my face.

well, i think we have offically mde it past the date, what now? Did i miss something?
i just had to laugh.
the old congregation i used to attend now has two young.
unmarried sisters who got knocked up by their 'worldly' boyfriends.
Fast forward to today, in the "true" religion: what is the emphasis? Is it on the children that have been mistreated? Is it on helping people through problems with behavior? It is more about kicking out those who have not figured out when to lie, when to shutup, and whose fanny to kiss
.This is so true.. that is usually who end up getting the axe-those who cant beat these guys at their game. look how long it took them to get ray franz. Also, about people who are repentent-why are they disfellowshiped? they should not be-not according to the scriptures.
Also, if u think the cong. is all cean and wonderful, u should talk to the elders and all. It is not. It has all been sanitized for the apperance of it all. There are rapsits and child molester in the KH-how bad do u have to get? And it is true, a lot of bro won't hire or work for others. I had a really stupid couple do some work for me- and b/c i did not have their paycheck the minute they were done-they came to get it while i was having surgery . Stupid , illiterate, ENTITLED people.
Jws are as corrupt or more than the average. A lot figure out how to beat the system, the rest end up being df. And i am not a new jw-i have been a jw all my life and am in late 40's.
new years eve 1996 was the last time i enjoyed a new years eve with a girlfriend.
even though i wasnt into celebtrating it in a major way because of the jw influence on my life, it was a really great time to be with someone i cared about.
1997 onwards i became involved with the jws and of course i couldnt become involved with a worldly girl, so i became celebate.
nakedmvistar,
u are soul of compassion lol
they don't trust - for good reason.
they have dysfunctional relationships - for good reason.
but all victims need professional help.
I really believe that when Bill set out to expose the WTS he probalby had not thought all of this through. his goal was exposure, and he's doing great. but now we have the survivors and what to do with them.. SL is a work in progress.
I really enjoy your posts and i am glad u are out ther to help abuse survivors.

I am truly enjoying this thread. It is not boring and has held my attention. I give it a 5. It has great entertainment value.
ok so i'm on the phone talking to my friend, when i hear a knock so light i wasn't even sure if it was a knock.... (the doorbell, lighted, works just fine).. i open the door.
two attractive young ladies in their early 20s are standing there, don't even make eye contact.
one reaches into her bookbag and pulls out the lasts watchtower and asnake magazines and proceeds to ramble incoherently for the next 30 seconds.
. I'm telling you now, stop peddling useless magazines that YOU haven't even read, and go to college. EDUCATE yourself about the religion you grew up in. You know where I live."
So true, i used to go in FS and hadn't even read the mags. just BS my way through the sermon.
i told my husband last week that i didn't plan on going to chats or forums.
we've been trying very hard to stay on neutral ground.
we began by just researching all the history of jws and turning to the publications published by the society, to either back the history we were reading, or to dispel it.
I am in a similar situation, but with not as many relatives. i agree the slow fade is best, but since u are in the "thick of it" (with all the elders, pioneers in family) that may be difficult. And it may be hard to resit the temptation to tell them what u know. I really like LB suggestion, if u must, then let your husband DA himself and tu stay techniaclly in. That way as he said-u can still see family and also have the benefits of not being a jw. DA is just the same as DF-they will treat u just the same.DA is just a legal thing the org uses to avoid legal problems.
With your husband DA, u can become "weak", and slowly stop. Give the family time to adjust. there is just no easy way out, when all your famliy is in "truth". Since u are new to the area, get out and meet some new friends.
this is difficult, holding a good thought for u. Also, Lb is right, there are peopel who would turn u in if they knew u were on the apostate sites. be careful about this, but try not to live in a state of paranoia.
