Grout.....you've got it wrong. In this case, the WBTS is not the lawyers' client. These lawyers are the twisted progeny of this Borg. They are not bound by ethics of a moral kind. Apart from the teet of hypocrisy, these 'advocates' would wither and die.

DEAR GOV BODY'S LAWYERS
by crawdad2 inhi lawyers of the gov body!.......how are you?.........by now there must be at least one of you that realizes the gov body's position on this issue is morally wrong........they are harboring pedophiles, and children are being molested and victimized........and you are defending them!........do you feel jehovah wants you to do that?...........think of the little children.........and what jehovah wants you to do.......... do you feel a loyalty to the gov body because they put you through law school?
who should you be loyal to?........
the gov body, or god?

50 years today
by Lady Lee ini am 50 years old today.
the world is a very different place from the one i was born into.
i have been witness to the beginnings of television and the explosion in communications; cell phones and computers.

Lady Lee......thank-you for the post. I too turned fifty this week. I also believe that if it hadn't been for the 12 step Program, I wouldn't have made it. Such power in 'those rooms'. I was told by WBTS agents 'well, just remember, God's spirit isn't down there'. How blessed I've been to see so many miracles unfold in so many lives. How I am ever going to repay the debt? Peace to you as we all move ahead, 'one day at a time'.

reaction to Dateline
by blindfool ina few weeks back, fred told us all that after a few weeks all would be ok at the kingdom hall.. well, i can't speak for everyone, but i will tell you that my wife hasn't been to a meeting since the program aired.
she is going through a stage here where she seems really depressed.
she is spending time with her friends who are not jw's.

Blindfool......my wife and I are on that similar path, though perhaps a little further along. Thanks to everyone for their loving, insightful comments. Peace for us all.

Watching my parents age and die.....
by LDH ini just posted this on teejay's thread, but in case some didn't read that thread i will repost it here, the enhanced version, because i believe it deserves its own thread.. recently, my parents visited with me.
(the great apostate, can you believe it?).
technically, they were here to visit my kids and husband, as i am df'd [8>].

LDH..........thanks for sharing. I guess that's why we should be thankful for this site. A lot of common experiences. Being here, reading, thinking, really helps me see the need to continually pursue that ever elusive trait of unconditional love. It has required the establishing of some pretty firm boundaries, but I so like the dynamic of being able to express my truth and then 'let live'. Your posts have been of great encouragement to me, peace to you.

GOING DOWN TO THE WIRE
by You Know inthings are gettn interestinger and interestinger every day.
on the international scene any number of scenarios can serve as triggers to set off wwiii, or the tribulation, whatever you may prefer to call it.
the next cross-border atrocity by rogue militants could easily detonate a conflagration between nuclear-poised india and pakistan.

Hey You Know........the WBTS had it's chance to be a 'true prophet' regarding the 'worlds end'. They blew it . And now a great number of prognasticators ( political, economic,philosophical,militaristic) keeps us all in eager anticipation of major confliguration. But once more...........NOTHING THE WBTS HAS SAID OR DOES WILL MAKE THEM OUT TO BE TRUE PROPHETS AND NOTHING THAT THE WBTS SAYS OR DOES WILL AFFORD THEM ANY SPECIAL PROTECTION OR DELIVERANCE.

Admit doubts
by Realist inwould a jw ever admit that s/he has doubts about the wt teachings?
do they have the order to pretend they believe everything or could they discuss what bothers them?.
i assume they have to pretend they think everything is dandy and the teachings logical when they speak with elders or other witnesses.

Hey Matty, ............thanks for your honesty. 'spouting garbage from the platform' whoa!, would like to say that surprised me but I've sat through too many meetings. But KNOWING that it's 'garbage'. May you have a huge measure of peace as you continue towards the unification of your heart, mind, gut, and mouth.

Thanks Bill for the post, may the tide continue to turn. I am a bit concerned about some of the responses given regarding Winesses coming around to reality. Didn't it take all of us some time to work through the process of coming to terms with what the WBTS stands for? It happens, at times incrementally, and this through education. I am now able to allow this process to unfold for countless others as I do my part to continue the proliferation of real facts. Anyone begining the process of sincerely questioning the WBTS should be encouaged.

Too much bad language, sex & pics
by Simon inplease can everyone think twice before they make posts containing bad language (even if not directed at individuals), graphic sex talk and nude or semi-nude pictures (especially if explicit).
this is not what the forum is here for.
if you want to post stuff like that then there are lots of places on the internet for it and, more importantly, if people want to see and read stuff like that then they are quite capable of going to these places themselves.. i know everyone likes to 'let their hair down' now and again, me included, and i like pictures of sexy women as much as anyone .

Thanks Simon for all your hard work in keeping this site open....I agree with your sentiments. Yes it is true, the great majority have been affiliated with an organization that only espoused things like moderation and fellow concern. Perhaps this is a place where we can continue to progress in those areas. For some that feel the need to really 'get funky', maybe you could start your own site, thereby leaving Simon more free time for that great community work he does down at the local pub.

Bible vs JW 2-witness rule
by Robert_V_Frazier inthe watchtower and its apologists keep insisting that the bible gives them no choice but to insist on two witnesses to an act of molestation before they can do anything beyond filing a report with headquarters.
there is very clear teaching in the bible that the two-witness principle does not apply to this type of situation.
here's the text:.

Welcome Robert....although you are not a JW, you most certainly bring salient points to the forum. Makes me think of how Jesus, as a youngster, because of his godly wisdom, gained favor in the eyes of God and 'men'. Fortunately the converse is true. People can spot unmitigated hypocrisy. Thanks for shining one more flashlight under their rock.

Policy is a changin'.....and as people like Bill Bowen, Barbara Anderson, the Pandelos, Erica et. al. continue in the reconstruction of lives under attack for taking a stand against shameful policies, I am so strengthened to hear them shout 'WE WOULD DO IT AGAIN FOR THE SAKE OF OUR CHILDREN!!!!'....principles are monitoring the WBTS. Is the whirlwhind about to be reaped?
