Hi, Marbles. I've appreciated your posts. What you've said even serves me as research information. I recently had a long correspondence with a Christian man who could not see my point about polygamy being a sin for Christians. He referred to a text showing that some early Christians were slaves. Then, earlier this evening, I thought, "Well, if a woman in a polygamous relationship is actually a "sex-slave", let's call the police!" But the Christian man has finished with talking to me about the subject, so I doubt I'll be sharing my epiphany with him. Anyway, you've obviously given deep thought to this subject.

Lloyd Evans, Philandering & Sex Slaves
by Marbles inthe argument made by le supporters that his philandering is "between him and his wife" is a fallacy.
philandering is a real social problem that affects many families (including mine).
it's pretty apparent now that le has been using his wife and his in-laws to boost his writing career, and now that he has achieved his goals, he will discard them.

Does he really have a sex problem ?
by ozziepost inlike many, i’ve been bemused at lloyd evan’s excuses/reasons for his lusting after prostitutes.
apparently, as he claims in his disastrous video, he blames his wife for being inadequate between the sheets.. could the real answer to his ‘problem’ be closer to home?.
perhaps if he consulted a medical person or even a sex therapist he may learn his “problem” is not down to the borg at all, it may simply be caused by his weight i.e.

Hi, No-zombie. Your comment made a point that I may use in a future article. (I've written one already.) I'm glad that you took the time to put your thoughts into words.
The last sentence in your above comment says, "And if you are now a true atheist yourself, then what does it matter what a person does ... as all human value systems, are just unreal constructs created over time by society. In fact in times past, what Lloyd has done was totally normal."
The article I plan to write is against polygamy for Christians. Polygamy is based on a 'human value system". Christ didn't give his approval to the "construct" of polygamy for his followers. To become a Christian, a polygamist must send away his extra wives. And to become a Christian, an extra wife must leave the polygamist man. To many non-christians, polygamy has been presented as "totally normal". But for Christians, polygamy is adultery.

JeffT, I agree. Even a small justifiable and legitimate civil suit is completely exhausting and can easily drag on for a year. Suits that are filed on a contingency basis turn the client who places the lawsuit into the slave of the lawyer. The lawyer decides when and how often the client must show up for appointments, otherwise the contingency arrangement disappears and the client must pay all legal costs himself.

That was a great quote, Diogenesister. I’m going to buy one of Jennifer Freyd’s books on Amazon or second-hand, online.

Here's a clip from "The Closer" where Brenda gives a very funny non-apology-apology. It's less than 2 minutes long if you start at the 3-minute mark. I'm thinking of Cedar's apology on a previous page.

I got a chuckle out of this explanation of a “frivolous lawsuit” from wikipedia, and think others here may enjoy it too.
”Impact upon filing attorney
Filing a claim that is ultimately deemed frivolous can be highly damaging to the attorney so filing. Most frivolous lawsuits that are successful are filed without an attorney. Attorney Daniel Evans writes:“[W]hen a judge calls an argument "ridiculous" or "frivolous," it is absolutely the worst thing the judge could say. It means that the person arguing the position has absolutely no idea of what he is doing, and has completely wasted everyone's time. It doesn't mean that the case wasn't well argued, or that judge simply decided for the other side, it means that there was no other side. The argument was absolutely, positively, incompetent. The judge is not telling you that you were "wrong." The judge is telling you that you are out of your mind.[9]”

Highlight in your text what you are quoting after pasting it.
Then press the quote button.Hey, thanks NonCoinCollector. That helped a lot. I’d been starting out with the quote button too soon, and quoting everything in my comment. Then, I’d just given up trying to use it and waited to see what Simon would do with my comment. Lol.

Speaking of domains, I hope you like the one I picked for the new site:
That’s a good start, Simon. It will help new POMOs to have an overview of what’s available. Those who have recently awoken can easily grab ahold of the first piece of sanity they hear or see, without realizing that they still need to use their own “powers of reason”. I hope that everyone here will contribute links for you to sort through and use to populate your new website.

My friend, Lori Jane, has a website called simplychristian.faith
One section contains links to other websites and YouTube channels for helping exiting JW’s find a soft place to land. Please take a look at her list, Simon, and see which links you deem helpful. I suggest you also contact her through her website. She is a lovely person.
One heading is “ExJW YouTube Channels and Websites”.
https://simplychristian.faith/community/forums/exjw-youtube-channels-and-websites.15/
She has a list called “Meetings and Events” which includes many different religious ideas. https://simplychristian.faith/community/forums/meetings-events.16/
Another heading is “Exodus Support Discussion”.
https://simplychristian.faith/community/forums/exodus-support-discussion.7/
Here’s the description of the support group:
“This forum is a please (sp?) for those that have left or are considering leaving a high control group such as the Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons to discuss their experiences and get help from more experienced survivors. This is not for discussion doctrinal matters. Those threads will be moved or removed so please post those in the general discussion forum.”

This fits what I've seen and heard here:
"19Having lost all sense of shame, they have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity, with a craving for more." - Eph. 4:19.
Three years ago, when I first woke up, I found one of "Cedars'" videos. A gentleman in the comment section gave a small, constructive, gently worded piece of advice as a comment. Cedars clobbered the man. I thought, "Surely Cedars has misunderstood the man's intentions." I felt the urge to defend the man and "explain" him to Cedars. I'd never posted on an exjw site at the time, nor read or watched anything exjw for that matter, so after reflecting, I stayed out of it,... didn't sign up for an account and didn't post. Smh. I'd thought that that unpleasantness was probably an anomaly, but it seems now that what I read that day was more the "rule".
