  at the time of the judicial committee, plaintiff was fifteen years old.

  I'm totally speechless by this story. Why did these 3 elders ever feel this is appropriate sheparding behavior??????

  psychological changes in the vocabulary of the wts.

  i have been reading the publications of the wts since i was 6, 60 years now.

  we were too poor to have more than one subscription for each magazine so i had to wait until my mother had read it (she let them pile up).

  I agree with all your thoughts and especially how they carefully calculate how they word things for manipulating guilt, fear and obligation. I still read all this literature so I can anticipate how my family deals with us.

  Anyone Tried "Sous Vide" Cooking?

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. family

  i like a nice steak but cooking one can be a little intimidating and the results hit and miss especially when it comes to getting the right temperature so getting it wrong can be an expensive mistake.

  can anyone do that "finger and thumb together to check the doneness" thing?

  i can't .... so i came across this cooking technique called "sous vide" which cooks food (in a sealed vacuum bag) in a warm water bath, even steak.

  This brings to mind the chapter in the my book of bible stories where the disciples tried to stop the children from "bothering" Jesus and Jesus rebuked them- trying to teach them the right way to view and treat children. Hello all the wt spies reading these posts...and the PIMI ones on the fence...doesn't the example of Jesus and how he feels about children matter to you??? The organization you worship is not demonstrating the love they profess to have.

  Thank you! A lot of great points here. My PIMI family tries to blame Satan for everything, when it's usually bad choices. I have seen a lot that leave, immediately make some bad love choices, usually being with either with a partner that has traits of their more dominant parent or traits of high control.

  Also the org had (have) fixers, brothers who would go to the family of the abused and pay them off to keep quiet. Then these assholes would talk about how low the family could be bought off for. Any lurkers reading this- does this sound like the true religion to you??? Doesn't it bother you that your donations go to this type of rediculous behavior?

  Thank you for this excellent post. I did not suffer sexual abuse in the cult but am extremely outraged at the way these false prophets are spinning their fake care and concern. I am imagining how unsettling it will be for an abuse victim who goes to a meeting during these articles and wasn't aware ahead of time this will be discussed. I was wondering if these mature Christian sisters will be counting their time as they comfort...( eye roll) Being remotely involved in this as a sister (gasp) seems so far from the whole wt way, this itself should be confusing to those sheep still asleep at the meeting. But as you brought up- they will be so eager to find out the gossip, what a cold dreadful place I am so happy to be free of the obligation to go to!

  The manipulation in these articles is disgusting. I don't think I could sit thru these lessons at the KH. It made my blood boil just to skim read them. Those of us that know the real story of how the GB has been handling this child abuse scurge are just enraged by how boldly they are out right lying to the sheep!
