hey, i got a question... the jw's won't even let the men have beards for 'fear' that the 'image' will scare some of the people while going door-to-door (or at least that was the reason i was given why beards are bad)... why is it that they are being hypocritical (i know, hard to believe they are hypocrits huh?
) and allowing even potential child molesters from going door-to-door?
after all, if they don't want to stumble anyone with a beard, why would they allow someone to be stumbled with an accusation of child molestation hanging around them?
Oh mostly because they are a bunch of fucking idiots

some of you may remember the post about the un-invitation card which is sent to da/df persons who have previously been invited to a wedding.
the un-invitation card tells them not to turn up!.

I am truly sorry to hear that. I don't think the JW's realize just how distasteful and hurtful they really can be, especially to family members and of all things parents. Just a shame. Glad you're going though, don't let the bastards get the best of ya! Hopefully your daughter will someday realize that the WTS is destroying her family especially at times like these.
God bless

this is a story about the heart-pounding rollercoaster ride of buying a house and how i saw the proof that god really does love me.. some of you, especially newer ones, probably don't know that when i left the organization in 1987, i left still believing that the organization was the true religion, which meant, since i couldn't stay in it and keep my sanity, that jehovah didn't want me.
after 12 years of trying as sincerely as is possible to get his help with what was wrong, i gave up and quit, and literally prayed to jehovah saying, "it's obvious that you don't intend to help me; therefore i can only assume you don't want me.
fine; have it your way.
Congrats!!! Aren't home loans a big pain in the ass???

introduction .
having been a witness for many, many years, about 15 to be exact, i just thought i'd explain a few things for new-comers to this site about what it's like to be a "dub".
"dub" is just a convenient shorthand for "jehovah's witness", and is not meant to be derogatory, but i think i will stick to calling them witnesses here for the sake of people visiting during the furore upon whose brink we are sitting.. much of those early years i don't really remember.
Would you allow a group of 8 men to VOTE on whether she could live or die?
As the father of 4 children ages 2 months to 12 years I can honestly say that would be 8 sumbitches that wouldn't want to even think of telling me to do anything they say.
Great post SYN!!! Hopefully it will open some eyes of a few lurkers around here.

i was born into a well off family in the wee year of 1979. my father was a water/oil well driller and worked days on end so i rarely ever got to see him.
by the time i was waking up in the mornings he was already at work and when he returned home at night i had already gone to bed, so most of my days where spent without him.
i had sister that was 14 years older than i was and she had severe brain damage and had to be placed in a state home when i was 18 months old, so i do not remember to much about home life with her, other than it was like we had a "big" baby at home with us.

how would the wt public information explain their position on other crimes such as bank robbery, rape, or even murder?
would they present their position in the same way as child molestation?
if so here is an example for wt media to post with the proper changes.. .
hehehehe... That sounds about right unfortunately

i just talked to a friend who is still a jw and she said there was a letter read last night at her k.hall that said that what was on dateline was a lie and not to listen to it.
i asked her if she watched the show and she said yes she had and she couldn't believe the lies that they told.
she also said " oh but did you see that girl erica larson was wearing a cross on her necklace?
Erica Larson was wearing a cross on her necklace?" I said "so?" " well " she says "i wouldn't believe anything she says anyway
So since she did that then she was full of shit right?? Well if that was the case the courts wouldn't have done what they did now would they? This poor person is obviously brainwashed to the Watchtower max and as far as the Watchtower goes, they are indeed the ones truly full of shit.
