Hey SwordOfJah
what are you doing here? trying to convert someone?
well I for one don't care much for your propaganda,
please take it from someone who knows all about how loving&
caring the elders realy are because i've been there & done that yrs ago.
from Screwd Without A Kiss class !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
as an elder i had to investigate allegations made.
by people claiming "satanic abuse".. please be careful accepting this stuff at face value.. you can end up looking very stupid when exactly zero.
evidence is found.
Only GOD will bring them down way-------- down
You shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
just got this from a real well informed, clear thinking, "sister" (?

They are all like that because they are blinded .

thru smoke and by mirrors.
your logic defies for me.

Hi Ambush Nice to meet you , thanks for telling your story.
Get yourself some counseling or therapy, it's to hard to do it alone
and you don't have to! there is a lot of help out there.
And for goodness sake go back to school get good education.
Keep posting every day on this board, let me know how your doing.

the catholic priest made the news again in sundays paper- nothing on the silent lambs wt march.
Yes I noticed that also no media coverage,very odd.
I suppose the JWS are not as important as they think.
A scripture they always used regarding themselves,
1 COR: 4:9 what a joke, tickles me
