All of the above. Most of all, feeling lonely. There were two girls that were in my cong one or two yrs older than me. I was excluded from their friendship. Just being alone and not able to go anywhere with anyone. As a kid youre not included in the adult world and the two I could have been friends with didn't want to so just plain excluded in the borg and out. Just nowhere that I could "be". When my husband was "outed" it was a big secret the elders didn't want his reputation ruined. I'm pretty outgoing and friendly. They all assumed it was something I did. I divorced him. He was embraced I wasn't. He is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay OUT now. don't know if he has been disfellowshipped. I wonder if any of them think back about how unfair and mean spirited they were. Probably not. What is weird is that I know they are shi.heads but I still have affection for them. What is that? Stockholm syndrome. Great life pattern....I love you....you exclude me. Shitheads. I wouldn't treat an animal like that.

Is the Watchtower Corporation guilty of purposely infusing a overwhelming amount of fear to control people ?
by Finkelstein inif you were to pin point out the workings of the wts., of what attracts people to the.
organization and what is the catalyst that controls them once.
they are inside of it, the conclusion would most likely be drawn that fear is the paramount.

Christ on a cracker!!! It's like hearing the reasoning of Clinton about NOT having sex with ML. Or John Edwards denying the baby was his. They are so totally full of crap way above their heads. They have already drowned in their own crap.

What about "the men who piss on the blackberries" on the golf course. I've been told never eat the blackberries on the course below 5 ft.

I was pretty stunned that someone I know named her cats after archangels. Not the naming part but that there were more than one. Does any of the accepted 66 books name more than one?

"Do J W's HAve Women Ministers? Sept 1st Watchtower 2012
by BluesBrother inthe sept 1st 2012 watchtower carries the article "our readers ask - do jehovah's witnesses have women ministers?".
the first words of the article provide a straight answer "yes, worldwide jehovah's witnesses have several million women ministers"however, the aricle goes on to explain their limitations in that they are not permitted to teach the congregation, "the audience of their ministry is different" .
they also do not preside or have oversight.. that opening sentence is a masterpiece of fallacious reasoning, using the well established method of equivocation ie.

I thought that the name Jesus was his name given to him from birth, and Christ was translated "messiah", a title. Am I off base here (jesus was english for Jeshua).

Is Today's Jehovah's Witness Religion The Same As It Was When You Were A Member?
by minimus inin my day, you were proud to be a jw!
you knew you'd get "persecution" and it was all good.
when you abstained from blood, you read the ingredients of a candy bar!

Havent been to a meeting in at least 12 years. I have no idea what they do there now. Nor do I care. I wasted too many years on them as it is. Although interesting enough I had a dream last night. I was talking to a male gay couple that were j's. They said they did not have sex but was finding it harder to stay in the cong. Then a woman walked up and said her daughter was being molested by an elder. I told her to call the police. Suddenly an elder whom I used to know entered the scene and talked to the three of them. I told him he had no power or imput into anyones lives. He took them to an elders meeting and when he came out he told me that I was apostate and was now disfellowshipped. So I was the scapegoat for the whole deal. Weird, huh?
