  Would an apology be enough?

  i read this article and got goosebumps.

  i've long since put to rest the old demons of my childhood.

  what happened, happened but that was 40 years ago and i've gone through hell and come out the other side.

  It would be interesting if my abuser contacted me and offered an apology. I know that there could not be any legal justice offered me in legal system we now have. So, an option of justice is not there for me. I would probably listen to what his apology would be. I would ask him if he has apologized to any other victims. I honestly don't know if I would get violent, probably not; but it could become very upsetting to me. Don't see this scenario ever happening though.

  Cruzanheart was on national TV (Dateline, Murphy Texas)

  dateline has been running a series of programs on internet child predators.

  just a few months ago, they (along with perverted justice) made an appearance in sleepy little murphy, texas.

  they used a house 2 blocks from where we live (all those evil, wicked apostates who've been to my home should know).. tonight they ran the episode, complete with the arrest of a local school teacher who was trolling after what he thought a 13 year old boy, a neighbor (literally) and a public prosecutor who killed himself rather than be arrested.

  Listen Newbie. I was an ex elder and those who were elders on this board have seen what the official line is from the WTS. Maybe in your experience, you haven't seen this kind of application; but we have. So, spout your opinion; but remember that others here have perhaps more experiences with the WTS than you have. Just my opinion.

  MInimus and Blondie are correct on this one. As much as you would like your father to toe the "conscience decision" line on this one; the WTS will nail him going to a wedding that is not proper JW sanctioned wedding ceremony. He will be removed as an elder if he attends.

  I don't think you should be watching Lost, Scully. As head of my household, I am forbidding Blondie from watching that show .

  Name better ways to attract new people at the Kingdom Hall?

  by JH in

  1) build a hall in the center of the city, not far away like they usually do.. 2) make it 1 hour meetings.

  3) dress clean, that's all.

  4) beards or no beards, that's not important, it's what's in your heart that counts.. .

  i volunteered and gave blood for the first time this past tuesday.

  my heart condition has improved to the point that my doctor okayed my donating blood.

  i am kind of a wuss when it comes to shots and needles; but being in a hospital in intensive care gets you over that.

  MIN They gave me some juice and some water to drink and I ate some crackers with cheese spread on them. Also got to enjoy the view of the painting at the top of the rotunda.
