  Listen friend your upbringing sounds very familliar to mine. I escaped by disfellowshipping years ago please feel free to vent I don't think anything you could tell me would suprise me. You have to get your frustrations out though. I won't judge and many on this site won't also. Welcome

  Hortensia its just like on this web site I hear a lot of englanders and I have trouble sometimes understanding what they say! The evolution of languages is just another proof of evolution.

  Would YOU force blood on a Witness?

  i was recently chastised here for saying that i respected my wife's steadfast loyalty to her god.

  suppose you were a medical assistant and your doctor/supervisor told you to hang blood on a witness patient?

  zero respect?.

  no mention of them being mentally diseased or using "lies" to deceive god's people, just that they are out to attract followers for themselves!.

  My story so far

  i've been trying to avoid posting this, due to extreme paranoia but its time to post my story.

  i hope to not post too many details, as we've avoided being df so far, our group elder was young and lovely and cool and i just hope that in time he learns the ttatt.. i'm a regular lurker on here, occasional poster (i can't post much as my phone browser only lets me read but not post, so i only post on the odd occasion i get a time alone on the pc).

  i have been fading since round about last september ( so almost my first anniversary of learning ttatt).

  Scary Stuff

  today's high school students in the usa:.

  less than 1/2 of them cannot identify the century when our civil war happened.. one in four thought columbus discovered america sometime after 1750.. one in three cannot name one right enumerated in the bill of rights.. three out of four cannot name the first us president.. two out of three do not know the length of term of a member of the house of representatives.. half cannot find britain on a map.. one out of four cannot find america on a map.. when my oldest daughter, who is now a physician was in 9th grade in this once-great state of california, i asked her about the three branches of our federal government.

  she was clueless and told me she would take civics in her junior year in high school.
