  ok so i'm a bit thrown off by this news.

  my next door neighbor came to me yesterday and told me that she saved me from the jw's coming to my door.

  (even though i'm always up for the debate challenge).

  Anyway they were talking to her for a bit and they asked her if she knew that there was going to be another great flood like the one in Noah's day? They also told her that only the "chosen ones" will be the ones who will be able to board this vessel. Can somebody shed a little light on this matter for me?

  Ignored Aspect of Pedophilia

  by Francois in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  much has been said about pedophilia among jws, as it should be.

  but there is one aspect of it that i don't remember anyone bringing up, and it's very, very telling.. in something like 95% of all cases of pedophilia, the spouse knows what's going on.

  ninety five percent.

  Well this topic hits a bit close to home. Not only was I raised in the trutha nd abused by a family member, but then I married a man who was also raised in the truth and abused me and other young woman, and is still to this day abusing young women. I am no longer married to this person, but now the elders are realizing that this is a major problem. This is not enough. To just be removed from the congregation is not the solution the this "disease."
  Why don't the elders take it to the legal officials and handle it that way? Would they not be considered a part of the problem if they don't go to the proper authorities?
  What else can I do to get this man put away??????

  hello..new to the board, though i have lurked for a while.

  this is surprising because just a few months ago it would have been unthinkable.

  if some even thought that i hinted in this direction, ....i dont even want to try and explain the repercussions.

  I'm sitting here in tears. It is so nice to be able to come here and listen to a story that confirms your own realities, trials and stuggles through the life of a JW.
  I've pretty much come to the conclusion that if God didn't want us to think for ourselves, he would have created all of us just like the Tin Man.............
  Who is to say that we "need" to follow another "mans" word and opinon to be loved in the eyes of God?
  I am just glad that I got out when I did. I felt as if I never belonged anyway. I feel what all of you feel in this room.......totally controlled and brainwashed. My best advise, live your life the best way you know how, that is what God gave us that brain for...remember?? Much love and kinship to you all.......

  hey patio,
  please understand that there are quite a few "newbies" in here and "we" I'm sure all feel a little threatened at times to have an active witness looking over our shoulders. As if it wasn't enough when we were in a congregation full of "lookers". I think lisak has a very valid point of asking. She didn't say anything rude or out of line as far as I'm concerned.

  Meeting's..........the best Medicine!!!

  by Latte in

  2. friends

  do you remember those truly wonderful occasions when the meeting was in full swing, and something/one would make you laugh uncontrollably............so much so that you had to go out.

  (and yes, your were sat on the front row!

  you would go out and feel terribly guilty, and when you thought you were under control, you would venture back in only to find that the air was still full of laughter (on your row)..............truly wonderful meetings!!

  Ok here's one for ya! This was actually at one of the bookstudies. I must have been about 8-10. My dad wasreader for the evening. The sister's home that we hadthe bookstudy in had 3 children. Very wild and unruley children. Anyway, one of them had been wiggling in his chair for about 10 minutes when she finally told him to go to the bathroom. He ran off to the bathroom and of course we could hear everything due to the fact that it was a small home. My dad wads still trying to keep the straight face as he read. The boy comes running out of the bathroom and plops down on his seat. Now I don't knoe if you all had thes chairsat your bookstudy but they were the hard aluminum folding chairs. Anyway he wasswinging hisfeet under the chair and got them stuck behind the rung. He immediately fell facefirst onto the floor. It get's better, simultaniously(sp) as his body hit the floor aloud and obnoxious sound and odor emitted from him, filling the room. My dad could no longer read. Needless to say we all laughed for years to come.
  Thank you to whomever for all these wonderfull moments in time.
