this may seem simple to all you young folks(under 50) out there, but this old fart is just wondering, how much can people see on facebook in the way of comments, if you have privacy up and running so that, i thought, only those you have friended can see what you comment ?.
i am not overly bothered, but it occurs to me that since in recent times i have been more active on fb, my outspoken comments against the jw scam may be visible to those who are not actually "friends" ???.
i am just wondering if i should expect (as in monty python) the spanish inquisition ?.
Simon's right, they constantly change the privacy settings, and everything goes back to their default (and very open) mode every time they do!! Obviously Facebook doesn't understand what it's like to try to leave a cult! They have this dreamy 'people should be open about their lives' mentality which is just not practical for EVERYONE in the world.
Seriously, if you are going to post stuff, be willing to face what may happen. Sometimes that's liberating, but it's scary beforehand and during.
this morning, i was working at a home where the tv had been left on.
i listened in but didn't watch, for the most part.
ms. davis was flanked by her lawyer and another gentleman.
Stillin...yes it's funny. I was always particularly disturbed by Mormon teachings. 'They're so crazy and sexist' etc etc...I think it was a way of deflecting some of the feelings I had for my own birth religion, but wasn't free to express.
And witnesses, they think every fringe religion is crazy but their own. 'Oh my gosh, christian scientists!! Not going to the doctor!!! Extremist!! Amish!!!Get with modern times!!! Mormons!! How can they possibly believe a canoe of Israelities sailed across the ocean?? Don't even get us started about scientologists!! L. Ron Hubbard made that religion up!! What a cult!!' Lol.
soooo...i have recently been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and am scared out of my mind.
in a weak moment, i called my parents and my mom answered.
i start crying as i tell her about my disease, and this woman says to me:.
Ok. The 'Good Samaritan'...he helped someone he didn't know lying by the side of the road. What would your mother say... 'Oh but my daughter left Jehovah!!'...yeah the Samaritan wasn't the same religion either! Deep seated religious division there...and she's your DAUGHTER. but oh yeah, what did Jesus say would happen to some? They would have no natural affection...
hey stupid witness parents...Imitate Jesus. Actually religion has nothing to do with it. Be a FREAKING PARENT.

She's adorable!
She asked specifically for scriptures in her letter. It's all she wanted. They offered none.

I have said and felt the same thing as ms. Davis, and a personal transformation. However it's unfortunate her Christianity had taken on such a fundamentalist stance and intolerance. I suspect it is influenced by her choice of church and what is believed to be 'right' in her community. She has the wrong job if she can't do it according to the law and her conscience.
I do not believe same sex marriage is wrong. Anyone who wants to get married should be able to, and I would certainly have issued that license.
i think witnesses never use that lingo, because they aren't really Christian. They are a cult of Jehovah and 'his organization.'

Facebook is an exJW minefield.
Things can get through to people you don't want them to get through to. However, make sure you go to your privacy settings and choose who can see what. There are things you can do to TRY to keep things from getting seen by the wrong people. But if you are on facebook and living a normal life, that picture of you at someone's birthday party may be seen by some witness somewhere. It's a small world. The 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon and all that. After a few incriminating instances and lots of people unfriending me, I decided to not freak out (tho I'm still cautious.) Like the old adage, the people who matter accept you the way you are. The people who don't dont matter. But as an ex witness it's not always as simple as that. Be careful on FB.
guess the overlapping generation concept is difficult for most to comprehend.
david spane does his best to explain it again.
the cutoff date for this generation has now moved to 1992 (was once 1935), the year that fred franz died.
hello friends.
my fleshy sister is seriously getting to my nerves.
she's my only (and younger) sister, and as you know, is married to an uber-circuit overseer.
first of all; i must admit that i'm not a huge fan of putting people in boxes like this, it is not an exact science.
but i still think the data can be quite interesting and i intend to collect it and share it in a structured way with you guys.
so without future ado here are the details.. link to test: .
