I was watching a British detective show lately, and there was a rapist who accosted a teenager on the way to school and when they found him he got 20 years in prison.

Why is it the raping of children, be molesting of children, the abusing of children, and messing up of their lives forever treated in such a serious manner?

Abusers get a few years of their lives taken, the children have to live with it the rest of their lives.

I believe that is a big part of the trauma when the children are invalidated and have to live with the memories and the abusers carry on Merrilee in their lives with no twinge of a conscience of what they did at all.

Find Family Happiness ... NOT!

by jp1692 in

the other day my wife and i were in sonoma.

we were just walking around enjoying the pleasant afternoon in the quaint, old downtown area when i saw two jw women standing by their “witnessing cart.” .

normally, i just ignore them whenever i see jws standing by a cart, but i gotta admit it: this time it really bugged me because of the title on the cart: find family happiness.

Haha I was having a Twilight Zone moment there for a minute. I thought to myself didn't I read this yesterday?

$5.5 Million to be transferred to World Wide Work from Assembly Hall fund

by Sour Grapes in

a letter was read tonight in our kingdom hall that the money that the circuits in the indianapolis area had in savings to build a new assembly hall will now be transferred to the www to build kingdom halls in lands where they are needed and a new assembly hall for us will not be built.. we had a beautiful assembly hall near downtown indy that was paid for.

it was sold a couple of years ago.

we were promised a new assembly hall to be built in southern ohio near the indiana border but they can kiss that goodbye now.

So what is the "crowd" saying about that Sour Grapes? That is a LOT of money.... and even tho it's not technically (now) "theirs", I'll bet they feel it was..... (PS, are you voting "no"?) ;-)

by Atlantis in

correspondence sent to branch office.

https://we.tl/oinwb6eohk.

branch departments as recipients of correspondence.

'First of all, does your letter include the names surnames, the congregations of all these elders?'

Wow! What audacity! (Pretty soon it will be fingerprints, addresses, telephone numbers, social security numbers, blood sample)

Does "the service desk" EVER write it's names on the correspondence?

Nope! It's code! SDK:SSM (This SSM isn't even their initials, it is a code for who is working the service desk that day.)

They never put their own names on correspondence.

Where are their balls?

Sister may have had a slight heart attack, do I text her?

by Xanthippe in

jw
friends

so my cousin phoned and told me my jw sister was taken to hospital with chest pains and it may have been a slight heart attack or possibly she's starting with angina.

now as some of you know my sisters and brother have had little to do with me for 29 years.

we've met at funerals, or arranged them, but i just thought today what if she did die?

cha ching

Good for you, Xanthippe! Your sister will find your love hard to forget, you reached out FIRST!

'The videos are helping the young people.'

by Magnum in

some time ago a super-dub stopped by to try to encourage me to return to jw land.

my demeanor during our conversation was extremely serious.

i was polite, but dignified.

cha ching

Maybe magnum, just maybe, he was giving you a secret hint (so he wouldn't get in trouble) that (like stuckinarut said) "it's helping us see how stupid this is and leave"!!!

Using Watchtowers Own Reasoning Against Them RE: The Governing Body

by pale.emperor in

something occurred to me today.

quite randomly as i was working away at my desk i remembered an illustration from the bible teach book in which satan claimed he knew better than jehovah about ruling mankind.

here's the illustration from chapter 11 of that book:.

Good one, PE! perfect for cart witnessing!

Lately, the scripture "Always learning, yet never coming to an accurate knowledge of truth" keeps appealing to me, especially in reference to this 'new generation' thing.
