  What Was the Final Straw for Barbara Anderson Leaving the JWs? Here it is..

  first a few important points.

  here's the link to the website featuring the jw court documents dvd: www.watchtowerdocuments.com.

  let's keep passing that on.. second: the subject of getting this into hands of the national press has been handled, and if everyone could leave it at that for the time being, we'll inform you on here what to look for in the next week or so, hopefully.

  VM44,

  I was an elder dealing with a lot of this stuff during the time the Society was trying to figure out just what in hell it was going to do with the victims of abuse in the congregations.

  I think there probably were some bros who felt, ignore it and let it go away, including some on the Governing Body, Service Dept, Writing, etc. Lots of us out in the congregations knew this wasn't going to happen, and we were calling and writing the Society to try to get some changes made.

  Obviously, there were some brothers on the inside trying to do the same thing. Some changes were made, but it took way too long for that to happen.

  And of course the WTS couldn't let anything happen outside of its control. I remember when a bunch of elders from around the circuit were calling another elder and myself about all these issues. We invited a number of elders from various congregations to just meet with us at our KH one Sunday afternoon so we could talk about what was happening in our congregations. There were old time elders from my youth almost in tears talking about what some friends were going through in their congregations as they tried to deal with the after affects of abuse. It was a great meeting, but a no-no from the WTS's view. It never happened again.

  Prince and Heterosexual Males

  by Blueblades in

  prince's statement that solomon is his idol because he had a thousand wives, has had a comment made on another link known as channel "c" .." the average heterosexual male is only able to have intercourse between five and seven thousand times in a lifetime.

  " so, solomon's wives must of have been frustrated because of this.... i don't understand how this statement was documented, the five to seven thousand times, and what is considered a lifetime, and who were the heterosexual males that were tested to support this.

  ?..not you, mister hugh hefner.

  I was baptized in 1963 when I was 11. Started fading in 1995 or so, and out for good by 1998. So I guess around 35 years. I was super active - elder, Pioneer off and on, Assembly Overseer, Pioneer School Instructor, etc. for 30 years.

  Glad to be out. I wonder if I'd given that same intense focus to my writing career, where I'd be now...

  Seeker4's Family's Sex Abuse by a JW Experience - and a Question.

  by Seeker4 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have written about this in the past, but not in recent years.

  i'll try to do this briefly.. from the age of 5 until he was 10, my oldest son was sexually abused by a 5-year-older, jw male cousin.

  my son stopped the abuse on his own when he was 10 by holding a knife on his abuser and telling him that he would kill him if the abuser ever touched him again.

  Not sure if my nephew did any therapy - knowing his family, probably not. Chin up and let Jehovah take care of you sort of nonsense.

  My son was in therapy for quite a while. Back in again.

  "let's take away half of those days. = 10 950."

  Bullshit!! Let's double those days: 2x a day (slow days) is 21,900 x 2 = 43,800.

  Sounds about right to me!! I get really horny when I'm not feeling well.

  Wait, 43,800 minimum in a lifetime - my god, is that all the sex I'm going to have? Let's see what 3x a day gets us - besides chafed!!

  Well, I have been known to go down on a Sunday.

  And Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...

  My girlfriend is at work right now, and I think I should move on to a 607 BCE thread for a while...

  I think Harry was one of the writer's of the Creation book. AlanF has a post with a fascinating account of confronting Harry about all the journalistic dishonesty in the book. I'll find a link.

  I was third generation, to a degree. My step-grandmother was involved, which was how my family got entangled when my mother remarried, and she eventually married an old-time Pioneer.

  So my daughter is 4th generation, and her daughter hopefully will go to college and LEAVE!

  forgive me if it isn't but i've felt too rough to post here lately so may have missed it.

  hubby hasn't been to meetings for ages, he's fading.

  anyway his mother rang him up and said that his elder step father wanted to know how he felt about the sign i have on our door which says no religious callers ( obviously trying to catch him out).

  Sounds like somebody somewhere misunderstood what was being said. A list of the names of people allowed in a Kingdom Hall makes absolutely no sense.
