... i've always wondered about some of the picies people have in their profiles.
what does your picture mean, and why did you pick it?
is it something serious, or funny, or totally meaningless?

ok, i'm new to this site.
i'm currently questioning a lot of things.
i do not want to be "preached at" by either side; that'll just make me leave.

this is crazy.. just go under each topic on this sight and read.
it speaks on each topic we have touched on in this forum and bascially gives thier "answer" and thoughts as silly as some are.

Bosho: apparently you don't get what I am saying. An it has become apparent to me that I am going to have to very specific with you. Counseling doesn't mean endangering a child.
IF the Eldership were to take action ( which MANY don't) They would of removed him away from all children in ANY congregation. NOT just the one congregation that he was in, where everyone watched him until he left. ( your words not mine- He left.. do you even know where he went ? DO you know that or IF other children are safe? DO you even CARE .. or just care enough that HE left your CONGREGATION. )
SO that means he can go to another congregation and is a danger to another CHILD. The Eldership is suppost to be shepards of the flock .. well they did not step in enough to protect another child.. even if that meant putting him away as a ward of the state institution. TO GET counseling. COUNSELING doesn't always mean the COUNSEL of the ELDERSHIP. They do not care one way or another .by allowing this person to continue on somewhere else.
I am saying there is a RESPONSIBLITY there that is ignored by many CONGREGATION's HEADSHIP.
I am stating on this issue that THE ELDERSHIP should of took more of a stance to PROTECT the community and other children within other CONGREGATIONS rather than let this person fade into the big picture again AND start all over. The Elders would of also kept in fellowship with him ( I did not say ANYTHING about children.. no child should be around him). Any GODLY infulence ( PASTOR, ELDER, RABBI.. ) could not hurt this person when he is doing such evil.
ANY preditor of a child needs some accountablity. They are MENTALLY ILL and need to be handled in a structured enviroment. Preferably one that they have to keep him heavily under watch.
Now BOSHO.. you need to think before you answer a post. Through all this you have done nothing but attack.
YOU apparently do not comprehend what you read. And READ into things what you want.
You have gone out of your way to start something. An I don't appreciate it. So you are just like every other JW I have encountered.. JUDGING.. not listening and fast to attack.
AN so you know BOSHO.. I am a survivor of ABUSE ! So don't talk at me about a child not being able to protect themselves. I KNOW.
I would appreciate you not coming on my threads to abuse others and attack them for what ever misguided thinking you have. IF U have something good to contribute go right ahead .. but piss off if you are coming to attack.
lmfao!!!!

SYN.. um do you mean CHUPA Sangre or rubio.. other wise chupa .. just means suck. (in spanish). In Mexico they have a creature called a Chupa Sangre or blood sucker.. this "monster" goes out and sucks the blood of goats etc. It is a small village superstition.
Chupas ( Suckers are an whole other thing. like lollypops)
And, I am not a mouse with a tennis racket - it was the closest I could find to a Chupa
Any way... I guess with the story you can um say his girlfriend was a real DOG. Now that is very sad. Poor puppies.. ! I hope no one out there would be that desperate for a relationship.
Also they should post his picture w/ a warning to others. So women w/ pets stay clear of him.

i dont know if you been asked this before but what made you give up your religious beliefs,i assume that not all on here were jehovahs witnesses so if you were not please say.well i will telll you why i left, i got baptised as a jw 2 yrs ago and then started to notice say 6 months after baptism that the followers didnt really heed the what they were being taught it didnt seem to motivate them in their hearts, to say display genuine love it was more like a routine to them to be at meetings,talk to same ones,read watchtowers,it seemed so mechanical like robots,im not saying this is what caused me leave because i was serving genuinely i was really interested in practising what i preached,but i found it hard because everyone wasnt trying to do the samething.so then gradually i started to question things and then i got the internet last year and was itching to look on these so called apostate sites,you see i wanted to prove these sites wrong but in the end i was proved wrong with things like prophecies,jws past history,etc.
so thats my story
The reason I left being a jw~
1) Seeing my mom's violent behavior towards me and others.
2) My step-father ( who always was negative and anyone who disagreed with him was a the moron of the universe.. and of course he could do no wrong). He using the term of submit to the head of the house hold for justification on everything he did.( and was allowed to do).
3) The Elders of the K.H. we attended turning a blind eye to everything... choosing to simply assume that if your the victim you are wrong. You did someting to warrant this abuse.
An the list goes on.

interesting... wonder if the jw's thing anything of this.
Yea too many labels .. and not enough dealign with the issue and getting the help people need. But I have seen so many people within the org. w/ mental disorders. Wonder if it lunacy brought on by too much study on destruction ?

rado vleugel pointed out on another thread that the current response to "do you shun former members?
" on the jw-media.org site represents a more hardline viewpoint as far as treatment of disfellowshipped family members.
once it said, "disfellowshipping does not sever family ties.
What the heck ?!
TO shun or not to shun that is the question whiether it nobler to suffer the slings and blows of OUTRAGEOUS fellowship.. lest they turn you unto the apostasy of the truth ?
Shakespear as a dub.. kidding.
But really it is ridculous.. as if being a dub is not confusing enough. Now they pile it on so high you have to wear wader boots and hold your nose while entering the K.H. ? Pulease.

a great man has left us.
my father-in-law died last night.
one of the most intelligent men i have ever met, ironically struck down with a brain tumour that eventually robbed him of all cognitive ability.
DMouse:
I am truly sorry for your family's loss my sympathy and condolences.... losing someone ( especially the ones who impact your life in a good way) is difficult. Right now, time with your family is needed.. and together you will pick up the pieces and go on. Knowning he is alive in your memories and love for him.

comforter has heard previews of the convention and now he has finally gone and found the critics to be wrong.
the convention program was great.
it was upbuilding, encouraging and absolutely splendid.
I guess the assemblies are just as bum numbing as they are mind numbing. Nothing has changed. Different speaker same topic... the EARTH is going to be destroyed and you are ALLL goonne to die.. MUUAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! Witnesses RULE! meow.
Give me a break. ONLY Jehovah, God, who ever you want to call him will know the hour and time. Until then let us alone ! To live our lives in peace.

LMAO.. um who is mini me ?
