  i would like to thank everyone who is a part of this community.

  i have been abused by this billion dollar evil religion since i was born.

  i am now in my late thirties and have been battling depression issues over my former abuses by this nongoverment organization.

  Welcome! Let me say first off that choosing survival over honesty isn't cowardly, especially when it's a child making the choice. I am glad you survived and that your life is good. I understand the desire to reconcile with family who show no desire to let you in. Stories like yours make me so sorry I ever got involved with the borg, and exposed my children to that life.

  i was in an used bookstore this weekend and saw a new world translation and some other society publications.

  this made me think, what did others do with their books?

  i gave mine to my mother, 22 years ago.

  On the Eve of 2013, Predictions

  by breakfast of champions in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  not predictions for 2013 per se, but a couple i could see happening in the not-too-distant future:.

  the society takes the hundred year anniversary of 1914 head-on with more spin and disinformation.

  already laid the groundwork with the "100 years ago" feature in the new yearbook.

  Would I be the punching bag?

  by NeverKnew in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  poor cognac's challenge has me thinking.. as a non-jw, if i were to marry this jw, would the congregation attribute problems we would encounter to him being married to me?

  i don't want to be a punching bag.

  couples have challenges.

  IMO, the scapegoat, punching bag, is exactly what you'd likely be.

  Why I`m not against the death penalty....one reason...their are more

  by smiddy in

  you have all read in newspapers , heard it on tv, radio ,of the 23 year old indian woman student who was gang raped recently by no less than 10 men on a bus then severely beaten with an iron bar and then thrown off the bus in singapore and has since died of her injuries .. those perpretrators of that crime are deserving of the death sentence in my book .. if you willfully take a life or ,are a party to it ,you automatically forfeit your own life .that`s my philosophy .. what`s yours.

  In cases where there is absolutely no possibility that the person was wrongly convicted, I'm all for the death penalty. However, in cases where guilt isn't 100% certain, I think the death penalty should be suspended.

  Anybody at an assembly right now?

  by OneDayillBeFree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know this is a long shot and my identity as a witness is certainly at stake but anyone at a circuit assembly right now who is mentally out/disfellowshipped/faded who'd like to meet up?.

  i can't disclose the location but i'm curious though.

  i mean i know that there are assemblies and conventions all year long so i'm pretty sure there's more than one going on now but i'm extremely bored and annoyed and can barely keep from showing my anger at hipocresy and lies that are being said on the platform!

  Good luck sitting through that drivel. I don't even know when the local assemblies are anymore.
