  i cannot forget this little girl.. ezekiel 34:12 this is what the sovereign lord says: i am against the shepherds and will hold them accountable for my flock.

  i will remove them from tending the flock so that the shepherds can no longer feed themselves.

  i will rescue my flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them".

  Does anyone know how to go about getting court transcripts from this trial? I'm planning on going if at all possible and I also want to get copies of all the testimonies.

  I want to see if any brothers show up at the trial. Also, who they'll call as witnesses. Any suggestions would be helpful. I've never done it before. I've been IN a trial before (as a victim), and was just given all the transcripts when I asked. If anyone can tell me who I should call or if these records are public, I'd appreciate it.

  Something OUTLAW said on another thread pertaining to this subject...about there being a difference between what the society puts in their articles and what actually happens at the KH...I find that all too true. For 20 years I watched two sets of rules being played out in the two KH's I attended. What was said from the platform, and what was actually practiced. What Bridgette said about this being all too common shows what hypocrites they are.

  When I attend this trial, it will be all I can do not to jump up and scream if I hear someone say they don't condone physical abuse!!!!
  [>:(]

  Anyone volunteer to bail me out when I get jailed for contempt??? hehe

  A Tale Of 2 Witties, Part 1.

  some years back i moved into a new house on a new estate, quite near to where my mother lives, and even closer to where radar lives now.. we were one of the first to move in, and, after several weeks, our first neighbours began to arrive.

  they were a family comprising husband, wife, 1 son and 3 daughters.

  we exchanged greetings and each family showed the other around our new houses which were of the linked to each other design.. a week or so later, i noticed my mother pulling up outside in her car, but, instead of coming to my home she got into a long conversation with my new neighbour who was tending to his front garden.

  Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
  and I'm wondering
  what it is I should do.
  It's so hard to keep this smile from my face,
  losing control, I'm all over
  the place.
  Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right,
  here I am...
  stuck in the middle with you.

  From an old song by Stealers Wheel!!

  Come on EM, I hope this is more like a TV sequel and NOT a "movie" sequel!!

  Tim, I like it all combined! (I don't want much, do I???)

  Seriously, I've always looked for a combination of a tough, macho, beat the crap put of anyone who hurt me type of guy, with a sensitive side that picks me flowers and loves kittens. With a tattoo! (Finally found it all in one guy.)

  As for just getting "turned on"...yeah, Antonio did it for me in Desperado. The bad, macho, dark, brooding, depressed, slam on the kitchen table lover....ummmmmmmm.....gotta go....

  Bridgette...I also sent links (Silent Lambs, Watchtower.org)to several Chicago newspapers, incuding some of the "free" papers. The Reader, New City, Free Press. I've taken this subject to another exjw board and many there have emailed the Sun Times with their own stories. I wish I knew how to go about getting the court transcripts. If anyone can tell me, I'll try my best. I've never done it before so don't really know where to start.

  wiz...I know atrocities to children go on all over the world each second of every day. To me, that is the worst possible crime. To hurt someone who is totally defenseless. A child. Like Laree. My heart breaks every day for all the killing, abortions, rapes, torture. I have posted pics on light poles of a convicted child molestor living right here in my Chicago neighborhood. The reason?? He is not supposed to live within a block of a public school, but because he "owned" the house, the law was not enforced. He lives two houses down from the elementary school that my 9 and 12 year old attend. IMO, he should not be free at all! My own nieces and nephew were molested by their own grandfather (on their father's side), who was not a witness, but a "pillar" of the community and a regular church-goer. He got a fine and probation. I wanted to kill him for what he did.

  But, growing up in an abusive JW household with far too many similarities to Laree is why I feel a connection to this case. And why it bothers me on a deeper level. It's too close to home. I can actually feel some of what she must have felt. The terror. The fear. The sick feeling in the pit of your stomach when you are stripped naked and waiting for the thick belt, or the extension cord, or the yardstick. Getting told NOT TO CRY or it will be worse! And it is always worse. And it doesn't stop. The frenzy feeds itself. You almost pass out.
  Knowing there is NO WAY OUT. Knowing NO HELP WILL COME. Helpless. Being told the reason they do this is because they love you. And it's Jehovah's will. You're no good anyway. You'll be destroyed at Armageddon. Listeing to my sister's screams and trying to close my ears, until she learned not to scream at all, and I was just numb.

  Getting all this "Christian love" so mixed up in your mind that you think your husband doesn't love you unless he hits you and calls you a worthless slut.

  No, wiz, I don't think JWS are the only ones who do this to their kids, but they are the ones I grew up with....they are the ones I have nightmares about...they are the ones who condoned it...who didn't help my sister...who killed her by not caring....

  Thank you for this, Bridgette. Thank you.....

  BEAT that Child!

  this is sort of a continuation of threads on dubs and how they are conditioned to discipline their children.

  someone questioned whether the society actually encouraged dubs to whup their children.

  i only had enough time to dig up a few salient quotes from the wt magazine.

  Teejay, I agree! I was told so often to go get "my own switch"...and if I picked one too small or thin, I'd get it even worse! I remember so well the feelings of total despair and helplessness.

  I read something in a magazine once by someone who was against physical punishment. It stuck in my mind and I always quote it to anyone I see whipping or beating their children...

  "If you assaulted, hit, or punched your neighbor, or someone you met on the street, you'd go to jail for battery. Why can you do this to a child and think it's okay?"

  I saw so much child abuse at our KH, it was ridiculous. My mother often used that saying too. That if my sister and I had lived in Israel, we'd have been stoned to death for disobedience. I always got the feeling she was disappointed we all didn't live back then! But she tried to come as close to it as possible! Once she hit me so hard I saw stars! I thought that only happened in cartoons. Not true!

  But, it's just like the society to deny and distance themselves from the real "truth", when it slaps them in the face!(pun intended!!)

  Well, I'm really late on this one. Got a job, so I can't be here that much anymore!! I miss you all!

  Cygnus, I love your hair long! Nice pic!
  Sirona, I never really liked Brad, but in "Interview", he gave me chills!! (Never liked Tom Cruise! Still don't.) Loved Nic Cage in "City of Angels".
  c5---loving children and animals is very important to me too!

  Tim, I love scars. I think they're sexy.

  I like the dark, brooding type. I'm short, 5'4", so anything 5'10" to 6'1" is fine with me. Although I've been with guys from only about 5'8" to 6'3". I like slim, slightly muscled, like Antonio Banderas in Desperado. I love long hair. I don't care if it looks better than mine. Facial hair is good too.
  This is assuming I go by looks alone, which I don't. It has to be the whole package. Kindness, honesty, a good heart. Intelligence. Non-conformity. Strong and masculine, but not afraid to be feminine, like I'm not afraid to be masculine once in a while.
  Romantic...a man who would rather get married at the base of a beautiful mountain than in a huge church. And I'm not into expensive gifts. Flowers picked in a field...candles and wine on the beach at night.

  But most of all, he has to have a strong sex drive. None of that.."Not tonight, babe..I have a headache." Or, "I had a hard day at work, April, I'm really tired!"[8>]

  And I've found someone like this. I love you, Randy.

  As for my love/lust test....

  Is It Love or Lust?
  
  lust love

  Don't look now, but you just might be in love. It's hard to tell for sure — you've got an awful lot of lustful thoughts whirling around in your brain — but we think hearts and poems are part of the agenda, too. Sure, you're pretty much ready to jump your honey any time of day or night, but you wouldn't bother sticking around if you didn't think there was some kind of potential there. You want it all — passion, excitement, tenderness, and a best friend to boot. We applaud you. There's nothing better than the perfect mix of lust and love. The former jump-starts a relationship and helps keep it fresh and fun, and the latter means there's something left after the "right here, right now" phase passes. So get your kicks while you can, but hold on for the long run!

  Yeah, this is definitely "US"!!!!!

  I always wear black. Don't have to waste a lot of time matching shoes, pants, tops. I hate shopping. I just find something black, well-made, and buy it.

  I also "feel" good in black. It always looks good. In any situation. And I love my black leather.....coat....pants....sectional....dining room chairs...silk sheets....wine glasses...see a trend here????

  At home...black NIN t-shirt...black capris...barefoot...
