i was raised "in the faith" for most of my life.
my mother married an elder when i was 1 1/2 years old.
he came from a family of pedophiles (also jw's) and i was a pet project.
oh my goodness freegirl, I so relate to what you have said more than you could know, be assured that behaviour is so far from christlike its impossible to measure, I think those of us with good hearts satan trys to destroy the most and he even uses things that look like the truth that is suppose to belong only to god.
huggs big big hugs from me and you are not alone, I too feel your pain.
we did one year we heard that our co's wife was caught doing it with a special pioneer than was staying with them, co was taken off the circuit, and our po"s daughter was having a lesbian affair with her roomate, of course i knew before she dissasociated herself i told a sister i knew they were and she told me it was slanderous, then 2 weeks later it all came out, she then ran off with a dissfellowshipped lesbian over double her age, the other lesbian was publicly reproved but i have since heard shes been disfellowshipped for lesbianism, a question?
i thought if you were a po and one of your household was found to be doing something that bad then you had to stand down, is that right?

i bought the daily telgraph today and in the political cartoon section there is the heading 'who will pass the true blue test.. you see australia is very lax with immigrants and now wants them to learn english and to learn about australian values.. in the telegraph we have two arab men doing the test.the second arab is the aussie one.. first arab "stone the infidels ' second arab 'stone the crows'.
first arab 'strike the unworthy' second arab'strike me lucky'.
frist arab 'blow me up'.
LOLOLOLOL Barry I love it!! thats hilarious, living in nz I can appreciate that humour, as nzers understand australian humour, oh man wont the muslims hate that one, wonder what will happen over what the pope has been saying, why would he even quote that knowing how mad they go about anything negative said about their false prophets, oh man and now a cardinal has agreed with the quote, sit back and run for cover. but thanks for that I will send it to my mother in law she will have a good laugh
of course they always use 'loaded language' and assertions out the ass - but on page 3 is what i consider a blatant omission.. on the right margin is a artist rendition of the 'scarlet colored wild beast' of revelation chapter 17. we all know that this beast is considered to be the united nations organization - and that she will turn and devour the harlot in time.. yet the paragraghs on that page never use the term 'un' or 'united nations' - not once!.
instead they use the term 'the world's political powers'.. now you would think that a message of this import should not be cloaking anything that serious, wouldn't one?
could it be that mention of the un in print in this context evokes fear that those at the door may call to mind that the publishers jumped smack in bed with that 'beastlike organization' for over 10 years.. like a man who claims to have repented of a ten year fling with a beastly whore, he might recoil at the very mention of the word 'whore' or 'affair' or 'unfaithful' or 'lying scumbag false religious organization'.?
I beleive after spending 13 years in that organisation and being totally mislead by the so many self righteous pharrisitical elders and co's I beleive that the watchtower society and all it stands for is lumped in with the religions that god tells us "get out of her my people if you do not want to share in her sin or have part of her plagues" tha WBTS is included in that dont you agree????
ever wonder what it must be like for the jws to dress up like witches and stand around a pentagram for a magazine picture.
how about all the crosses and pagan symbols in the magazines.
they print and distribute these images to millions.
get this, once this idiot co we had said that the name of the yaght for our country in the americas cup was causing demon attacks" black magic"
and some people had gotten memorabilia and been attacked, oh man what next and his wife bought a CD and she said to us i had to destroy it because it had organ music on it( even though the music wasnt religious) she said she might get a demon attack
mad as a march hair, they use to call him mac the knife, he went through congregations telling people if youre not baptised you wont make it
just wondered i havnt been on for a while can anyone enlighten me?
