Do you practice incest?

by Norm in

comfort for those with a stricken spirit.

*** w95 11/1 25-6 "comfort for those with a "stricken spirit" ***.

*** w95 11/1 26 "comfort for those with a "stricken spirit" ***.

When the Samaritan came along, his heart went out to the wounded man.
What did he do? Did he insist on hearing every last detail about the
beating? Or did the Samaritan get a description of the robbers and
immediately chase after them? No."

this one was a real piece of work, is this an example of direct interperatation of a scripture without adding one's own spin? this goes along with what you said about "guiding wording". they don't really say anything good about the robbers, but they take your attention away from them. in other words,"help the victim, but don't be to worried about bringing justice to the perpetrator. and why would they say that? i think you made it pretty clear in your post.

there was a lot i could of commented on, but that quote really caught my attention. this topic has been discussed a lot, hopefully some of the right people will take notice and start doing something about it. i say "hopefully" but most likely the WT will be able to keep this fairly quiet for awhile.

Any other New Light I haven't heard about?

guess i have been out of the loop for a while!

that post about being denied priveledges if one decides to get a vasectomy is just too much.

i am truly appalled at the presumptiousness of these people who think they can control their followers to this degree.

uni girl-congratulations on your engagement, my wife is also an ex-jw and it does help a lot to have someone who understands your background as a mate.

as far as the other part, along with what prisca said, many of us need to discuss these topics as a part of getting over experiences that we don't remember with fondness. some of us take longer than others to "get over it", and what one person needs another may not, but it's all valid if it helps us heal and become even better people.cheers-unanswered

'How to Cope With Negative Feelings' WT April 15

by ISP in

jw

watchtower, april 15, 2001 page 23,. but i am constantly with you; you have taken hold of my right hand.

with your counsel you will lead me, and afterward you will take me even to glory.

(psalm 73:23-24) one christian who was abused as a child learned the wisdom of these words, keeping in close association with the congregation, she says, showed me a different side to life.

unanswered

thinker-i have to agree with your take. if the org. advises that victims use the authoritys to bring perpetrators to justice, or if they advocate counseling to help victims work things out, more and more people on the "world" will learn about the problems that exsist in the org. since the org. tries to project themselves as a group not nearly as subject to the immorality of other groups, public awareness of their faults will really hurt their credibility. i too await the upcoming dateline and it's possible results.

An open letter to Waiting, and those she misled.

by RedhorseWoman in

jw

now, i'm sure all of you have seen waiting's statements on multiple threads that i started the introduction thread in the sex forum, with the implication that i am constantly thinking about sex and sexual innuendoes (well, this second one may be true, but i almost never think about sex...just ask my husband).. rather than reply to each of her misleading statements, i decided that it would be best to address the issue in one post, one open letter (besides, my cut and paste finger is otherwise occupied at the moment and unavailable for the repetitious task).. let me say this.....if reincarnation is true, then waiting was the evil stepsister to my cinderella (sigh).

i am such a wonderful, patient person, and waiting.....well, waiting.....she....(sniff)....makes fun of me.....(of course she's really good at it, but that is not the point).. i am stating here, once and for all, unequivocally, that i am not the perpetrator of the introduction thread in the sex forum.

waiting did it.

i think its about time logical died.

i might kill him now i really hate him, he is such an evil freak.. how about it?

you all can party afterwards.

unanswered

logical-many people have taken objection to your posts, i am one of those people, however, i don't take objection to your presence here. no one minds posts with opposing views, personally, i like a good, healthy argument. if you were able to post your views without extreme negativity or personal attacks, i don't think anyone would have a problem with you. i think it says something that, despite your past negativity, many are still pulling for you. having a difficult time controlling one's emotions does not make one evil, and, accepting positive help/advice can make one much stronger. i hope you have good fortune in resolving the problems that hold you back from being a happy person. looking forward to future debate if it comes with some amount of positivity-unanswered

So Who Wants To Be Married To A Doormat?

by Englishman in

jw
friends

in her book the surrendered wife, california housewife laura doyle advises married women to submit to their husbands in all circumstances.

she says that the man should take absolute control in every imaginable situation, and that the woman should be passive, always giving way to her husband.

she should give her husband all of her salary, and if she gets a little bit back to spend, well, she should be very grateful to her lord and master for his kindness.. over on h20, pro-witness poster flair claims that women need discipline just like children do.

i love that my wife questions me. it keeps me on my toes. when i earn her respect it means something. i've never been attracted to women who won't stand up for themselves.

claudia-this is back in '94 and at the time i lived in bend, OR. bend is only 20 min.s from mt. bachelor ski resort. the elders told me i looked to much like a snowboarder, and not like a jw. they said that since so many riders wore their hair short, no one would be able to tell i was a witness. wish, i could give a better explanation, but i didn't understand it then, and i don't understand it now.-unanswered
