i'd just like to say congratulations to all those who've worked so hard and suffered so much at the hands of the wtbs to bring the pedophile scandal to the forefront.
i was thrilled to see the front page headline in my newpaper this morning [the record] .
"a battle rises within jehovah's witnesses".
Check your local listing for the show time or you MIGHT MISS IT! Stone Phillips and their promos (which are very cool) all say 8 EST.
CHECK CHECK CHECK PEOPLE!
When a JW asks me if I have nothing better to do than spend my days bashing religion, I reply "Actually, no, I don't. I'm a PIONEER, just like you." :)
after two years out, and that after 25 years in...my mother in law announced out of the blue that she is making an effort to rejoin the jws.
im sure the only reason she is joining them is to get her estranged jw elder husband back, and her two jw kids and grandkids.
i cant believe that a "christian" religion would force its members to prostitute themselves this way just to have their family.. they suck!!

They SUCK!! Even more division of this family will now ensue as the JW members all try to decide if she is for REAL or just faking it...whether to accept her back or not accept her back.

edit: maybe i goofed.
i did not watch dateline tonight, and did not hear stone philips say it would be shown at 7:00 pm eastern.
this is better, because family and some friends on the west coast will have it easier.
Stone Phillips didnt mention the content of the show on Tuesday when they did the show on Friday night. Ususally they do. But he did say it was going to "be on at a special time, 8 PM eastern 7 central." Like everybody, Im going to be GLUED to that TV. It would be very cool if somebody could do some streaming video highlights for us on here.
Gawd...im so NERVOUS about this thing, youd think I had produced it myself or something!

well we did it, 45 people were present for the first candle light vigil for silentlambs around the world.
holly and heather berry were there along with many other victims who told stories, sung songs, and recited poems that were self composed to help them deal with abuse issues.
there were many touching moments where you could feel the heartbreak and pain suffered by the expressions made.
A wire? These guys are so paranoid, Bill would have to show up in his BVDs with only a smile on for them to let him in. They will probably just DF him in absentia and have a meeting someplace without him, and to hell with "due course" This is Spiritual Warfare, Society Style. They dont have to play by their own rules, only the ACCUSED and ACCURSED do.
The congregation is probably frothing at the mouth about now, beating the tables with their mugs, screaming for a lynching. Wanting BLOOD. I wonder tho, if some of them are hoping for the blood of the elders?
Go BILL and BARB!!!
Love ya!!

please correct me if i'm wrong, anyone.. i've noticed, as well as many of you on this forum probably, that jws are more than willing to come here and stick up for their cult, but where is their compassion for those that are grieving?
where is your joy for those that have had a major triumph or 'blessing' in their life?.
are you jws so programmed by the wts that you can't show empathy or sympathy for a fellow human being?
...and because that parable of the Good Samaritan is TOTALLY taken out of context to fit the JW mind set, they totally forget that the man who helped, the Samaritan, was the injured man's KNOWN ENEMY. And did the Samaritan help the man then run to the local news papers to BRAG about how GREAT he was for helping that man, like the JWs always do? No...he told the innkeeper to take care of the man, offering to pay all of his expenses for him on his return trip. Was Jesus describing a prime photo-op for Christians? Or was he saying LOOK!! We are all people, all equal, all needing to love each other even if we appear to be exact opposites.
We better have another Hurricane Andrew soon so the JWs can BRAG about their huge efforts on behalf of worldly people again...when was Andrew? Like 9 freakin years ago? Thats a piss poor record Brooklyn...PISS POOR.

my jw daughter came over monday to tell me all about her visit to bethel!.
first, she said how happy she felt and so very emotional when they took them, (a group of 8) to where the "twelve goberning body" held their meetings.
she said: "mom, i got to see where they sit!".
Werent we ALL that barfy?? There is a saying...if you go to New York City and you spend the entire weekend touring at a publishing company...chances are good you are a JW.

if you were leaving your husband or wife and you knew that your leaving would cripple them financially, what would you do?
if you were leaving the family home and you knew that your actions would mean your spouse couldn't make the payments, would you offer to help?.
am i being unreasonable in expecting that if someone is going to destroy you and leave then they might be considerate enough to not also take away your home?
Hugs to you honey...Dont assume that this person who is doing the leaving has ANY compassion about the financial status of the person they are leaving. Usually, they aim to punish the person more. The one being left should seek a lawyer immediately to protect their assets and make sure they have representation if the leaver tries to sell the house out from under them or take everything. It sounds like it is too late to "work things out" and its time to play hardball. If the person being left is trying not to "hurt the feelings" of the person who is leaving, its time to stop being needy and stick up for themselves. Nobody else will.
I watched my mother in law try desperately to do "anything" to keep her first husband. He was long gone for a LONG time before he actually left the house. Already had a new woman, a new home, a new life established. Moving out was just the last thing on his list.
Dont do the pity party, there will be time for crying later. Anybody who would leave somebody homeless is not worth the salt in the tears.
Grab those bootstraps! Its HIS loss.
Let us know how you are. Or...how "THEY" are...doing.
Loves
