from silentlambs (bill bowen):.
on thursday of this week world wide work money will again be spent to protect a pedophile.
in addition it will also be spent to pay money to a disfellowshipped person in order to find a way to prevent them from assisting the court case of abuse survivors.
They have a right to be heard by a judicial committee before being turned into the authorities.
WHAT?????????????????????
how did you find this site?
did you make a search in google for jw's, or did someone tell you about this forum?.
how did you end up here?
Did a search on Jehovah's Witnesses.
Wonder how many JWs in good standing innocuously do the same thing, and then (much to their shock) find this site....lol

often we see pictures of each other on this forum, but often we only see the face and not the rest.
i stand 5' 8" tall barefeet, at 138 lbs naked .

I would honestly like to know if Sword has EVER given anyone here a break. This is an honest question. Anything even remotely loving come from her/him?

well, i finally got a response to my letter, and it only took them almost three months!
models of efficiency, they are.
actually, big tex and i think they had to run this through the legal department.
". . . we wonder if it was really appropriate to take out your anger . . ."
That disgusted me beyond words.
I didn't know about your father...I am so very sorry. You are a courageous and strong woman.

the public talk was on "loyalty"- ...speaker gave examples of loyalty in bible times...i.e: esau and jacob...esau sold his birthright for a bowl of stew...not loyal of him.
david was loyal, even though he "erred" when he messed around with bathsheba, then plotted to murder her husband.
we need to be loyal.
BTW, why is a JW in good standing writing a book about Jehovah? Aren't the WTS books good enough?

That means that those who will represent the King, Jesus Christ, must be trained and equipped before the final war so that no period of anarchy will immediately follow it.
From "Faith on the March"
Oh, yeah, JWs are being "trained and equipped" all right. Trained to shun persons who love God but have the audacity to question the organization. Trained to support pedophiles because they are still in good standing in the org, and show no compassion for innocent victims of child abuse, labelling these courageous survivors "liars" and "apostates".
I could go on and on....
Someone else take over, I think I'm going to be sick.

i read a post the other day where someone mentioned not liking those who just whined and were obviously looking for hugs and attention.. i realize i do this.
it's because there are so many wonderful people here who care and understand.
in all the time i've been here, i've only gotten two kind of nasty replies to my posts.
I hope that I never said anything to upset you. When I look back after I post a reply sometimes, I really don't like how it came out sounding. But, I mean well....most of the time.
Oh, no, Mrs. Shakita ..you and Mr. are wonderful!!! But I know when I'm guilty of something, and I'm guilty of whining....
Thanks, everyone

like many of us, i have struggled with weight all of my adult life.
i came into this world weighing over 10 lbs, and it seems it has been a struggle for me almost ever since.
i lost 70 lbs about 7 years ago, and kept it off for 5 years, however i have put most of it back on.
I could use some encouragement. I have ten pounds to lose, and it's just not happening.
