There ARE other kinds of crazy . . .

by Hortensia in

i was reading the forums over at ravelry.com and came upon one about knitting for fictional characters.

these folks want to knit something for the characters in twilight, for instance, or tlotr.

i was reading along, thinking what dweebs these folks are, and how they need to get a life, until someone mentioned she'd like to knit socks for mad-eye moody.. i sat right up!

Satan must have directed me here

by Miss.Fit in

i was telling my jw friend about the condi law suit.

the first thing she asked was how did i even hear about it because it was news to her .

( i was 't expecting that reaction.

Miss.Fit

Bio: yep. You got it. It's all Satan. Don't ask me what Jesus and Jehovah are doing about it.

When in doubt blame the devil.

Seriously though.....my abuser told the elders that he must have been under the demon's influence. We had to go through the whole house

and throw away anything that might have been possesed. I couldn't make this stuff up.

Xyz: thank you. I will remember to tip toe.

Problematic: you are right. ... I must admit I was used to satan talk....we were always warned about giving satan an opening so he could pounce.

I don't think my friend thought Satan made up the news feed only that he somehow directed it to my attention....

Your right... still doesn't make sense.

Funny I never considered myself supersticous until I got on this board. I never realized before how much time I was looking over my shoulder to mske sure Satan or the demons werent spotting a weakness. And the WT said we were free from fear!!

I'm still expecting a bolt of lightning every time Iog in.Lol

Xyz: what kind of reaction do you think I would get if I asked my friend that? She would never talk to me again.....do you have some softer questions that wouldn't make her run to the hills?. She is like a sister to me...I don't want to lose her. She's one of the few friends that I have.

So I take it your point was.....the org. & the cong. Doesn't have Jehovah's spirit. Or I don't have to go to meetings to get God's spirit?.Missy

Protecting pedophiles while protecting children

by stillin in

i know that a lynch mob forms whenever there's a hint of anybody being a pedophile, but the truth is that not all are the slavering, predatorial animals that they are painted to be.

each circumstance has its' own specifics.

in defense of the wts, they do keep track of confirmed pedophiles now.

Miss.Fit

It sounds like there is some things we all seem to agree on: children are innocent victims and need protected. People who sexually abuse children are a danger to children. Child molestation is a crime not just a sin. ..... are there more things we agree on that I missed?

It would be great if we could channel all this passion and work together.

Lost: I understand what you are saying. It sometimes seem s that child abusers is get more consideration than the victims.

All my abuser had to do is cry a little and bIame the devil. I never got a sense of justice. We were told to feel compassion for him.

I feel that it us important that the victims understand that what happened to them was a crime. Can we agree on that?

P.s. to everyone else: my personal opinion? Lost is too generous. ...death is too easy...how about a little surgery instead?

Fernando: thanks for the encouragement. I followed some of the cases in Australia. I read one of the transcripts of a hearing and was blown away by the tap dancing the WT lawyer.

Data dog. I already know what her answer will be. She will say the news, the defendants , ec. has twisted the facts and that Jehovah is guiding the org. That there must be a good reason for their actions.

For my friend: option #1 would make more since because satan is a deciever and wants to draw us out. We are being tested.

For me: thank you for bringing out option #2: I am still trying to get out of the mindset that only WT has Jehovahs backing.....whatif they're don't?........my brain is hurting............recalculating..............

Jake and DCMS: when you are told all your life that you are in god's org. And that his spirit is directing the elders, you have complete trust that they are following Gods directions. Then when you are told how Satan is using everything he can to mislead us and draw us away.......the first reaction is to deny and then defend.

I am sure most JWs feel pedophiles should be reported. Most do not know the standard policy is to treat it like a sin not a crime.

The only reason I knew was it happened to me. Then when I read about other cases I saw the elders had reacted the same way.

I think my friend was trying to protect her own spiritualality.

Happyatlast- I am so sorry. I can't believe he was reinstated.

I will never understand why the pedophile gets more consideration than the victim. Maybe there should be a rule that if the pedophile should show his repentance by cutting off a certain offending member. Maybe I would feel better.

Another story... possibly final story

by confusedandalone in

this is the exchange of text messages i had with my super spiritual brother.

it is sad... it is pathetic... it has helped me realize that i have no connection to these people anymore.

i feel free today.

Miss.Fit

C&A. I hope all is well. I know you were fed up with everything. i thought it was great the way you stood up for yourself. I am sorry that your brother is such a jerk.

Was there any more fall out?

Please keep us posted. We care.
