  Birthdays

  by Laika in

  2. friends

  i had my first real birthday party yesterday.

  call me an irredeemable pagan, but i was massively excited about this, the whole thing was very special, i got a little emotional and i think my friends must have found it a little strange but it was just nice to be creature worshipped.

  when i was a child my parents always used to tell people i didn't miss out by not celebrating my birthday but i did miss out.

  Happy Birthday Laika, I am glad you had a nice day. I was not a born in so I had birthdays until I was 25 but my husband was a born in and he too missed out on them and was happy he could finally have one.

  A Warning for anyone with Fibromyalgia or CFS

  by LisaRose in

  i had been hearing about a food supplement that has shown to be a promising therapy for fibromyalgia or chronic fatique syndrome, a food supplement called d ribose.

  i tried it and was impressed with the results, so i have been taking it for the last three months.

  unfortunately during this time i have also had intestinal issues, which have gotten progressively worse, to the point it was debilitating, also nausea, dizziness and a mild headache.

  I have never heard of Ribose. I have suffered with it for years and it has gotten a little better over time but there are days when the pain will not get under control and it hurts to even touch those areas. I agree with BOTR about needing more women as doctors to address women's health issues. I too ignore the naysayers who are not doctors and do not do the research or see what we actually go through. I believe diet and stress can make it much worse with sugar and GMO's being the worst things for it. I have noticed that once I walked away from the JW's mine got a little better so the stress was making it much worse.

  US Supreme Court: Hobby Lobby wins we lose

  by designs in

  2. current

  the old guys sided with hobby lobby today in denying birth control coverage to its female employees based on the owners religious views.

  intact- is viagra for the guys.

  funny how the far right evangelical owners of hobby lobby didn't want to touch that one.... read judge ginburg's scathing counter argument and opinion.. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/13pdf/13-354_olp1.pdf.

  I find this interesting because for years I was in Human Resource and also accounting and was responsible for putting together health insurance packages for a few different companies I worked for. We never went through the policies and picked out portions we thought were immoral and excluded coverage. Never once did the owners of the company say we don't want to exclude birth control we don't agree with. One of my bosses was raised as a Scientologist and he never excluded anti depressants or other things the Scientologists are against. With the company my husband and I own it never even crossed our minds when we were JW's to put an exclusion in for blood transfusions, abortions etc. I feel that this has gone too far and it is another example of big corporations running the government.

  She is Going to Talk to the Elders About My Questions...What Should I Expect?

  by HeyThere in

  so one of my in-laws, a born in dub, started asking me questions about the issues i am having with the religion.

  so i told her, rather carefully, how i discovered all the child pedophile cases, went over some of the case details, explained it is occurring all over the world, so isn't just some random misunderstanding, but is widespread hiding of child sex u all abuse.

  she was horrified.

  HeyThere, you do not have to talk to them. They only have control over you if you give it to them. You are merely a bible study unless you are a non baptized publisher then they can make an announcement. A lot depends on the body of elder you have. There are some who have some brains and are loving but others who just love to control and throw their weight around. If I were in your place and they wanted to talk to you I would refuse. Set boundaries.

  ^^^ So true Lois. I have always been interested in the history of the concentration camps and have read a couple of books by JW's who were in them. It really broke my hear they had to suffer along with the millions of others. What really makes me angry is that the drunken Rutherford caused this to happy because of his arrogance. He is a true psychopath as Lois pointed out.

  An interesting point that others may be aware of, the first time I went to the Holocost Museum shortly after it opened they had a section with quit a bit of JW information and artifacts. The next time I went a few years ago they had taken down most of the exhibit. I am not sure why and no one would say at the museum. It seems to me they must have done more research and found out the info we know about their history.

  when i found out "ttat" i felt like muhammad ali when joe frazer knocked him down in their first fight in the 15th round.

  the ref came over grab my gloves and looked me in the eyes and asked me "are you ok, can you continue" and then gave me the standing 8 count.

  no it didn't knock me out but it staggered me.

  I just read the whole article and this man is so disgusting. It makes me sick and very angry that the WTS supports these animals. I hope he has a long time in prison because the inmates do not like child molesters.

  Kate, I hope you will feel better real soon. It is hard going through what most of us have been through and you have the added stress of not having your child with you and having an abusive ex. Hang in there, it really does get better with time and we are here if you need to talk. Hugs!
