AudeSapere- When she asks 'Why'?, the attendant, with snide condescension tells her: "Because we have revoked your *supposed* permission to even be here. That's why."
I felt this news segment did a very good job at reporting this protest. The type of way in which the attendant spoke to her is the same way I remembered being spoke to as a child growing up in the jwcult.
Wasanelder Once- I agree.
does anyone else remember a brochure/ magazine from the early 80s with stories of demon possessed individuals and spiritism ?
i dont think i saw it around very long.
it had a story about some lady having her head snapped around by a demon.

It had a story about some lady having her head snapped around by a demon. It was graphic and scary for a little tike that I was then.
What was the name of it? Where did it go?
When I was in trouble which was often, I was made to read it.

This dudes voice is amazing. Vitas.
backstory:.
so my born-in cousin who recently left the org is looking to start an ex-jw / group instagram based in socal.
he asked me if i had any ideas for a photo that can used for the instagram page and this is what i made for him:.
as an elder, i saw one child abuse situation involving a man who wanted to be an elder and had i believe 8 children.
he was not in our congregation when this all erupted.
he denied it and moved to another hall and unbelievably, that body of elders wanted to appoint him since they believed his entire family was lying about him.
Yes.
I think elders who don't report to the police should serve jail time as well. Some here may not like that comment but I really don't give a shit.
I can walk into a hall and pick out the molesters. Its sick.
And to think that I still have lingering cogitative dissonance at times is infuriating.
When my son was little or being around any child for that matter , In my most horrid of hells could I never imagine how someone would even go there in their mind. Much less in practice or a screw up. That's a pretty big f@#% up. Worthy of a violent death!!!

i was wondering how exactly is it that illegals can get paid and be under the radar?
a business takes in cash.
at farms, construction, etc, most probably comes in from checks and credit.
I use to work with a lot of Spanish 'illegal' 'brothers' as well as my ex wife 20 years ago was not legal to work when we met and married. (Yes I know I was retarded, I was 16.) Most of them just did it themselves on a copy a machine. 20 years ago photo copied SS# were excepted more so than today. I must have seen 15 -20 people at a time use the same SS# with a different name on it.
Pisses me right off.
since leaving the jw's after over 4 decades, i can see exactly what it is and hate everything it stands for.
however, there are still some jw habits and traits that i can't get rid of:.
1. i can't swear in general conversation (i'd have to be really angry).
I don't celebrate my birthday. I don't even tell any one until after the fact, which is weird considering I love Christmas and Thanksgiving. Probably some self worth issue. Definitely not a beheading issue. lol
