Sir82 that's exactly how I felt! I'd read those articles on how we are all suppose to be happy and I'd wonder what's wrong with me! I felt like such a misfit! I thought it was my falt that I never fit the JW mold, that something was wrong with me. What an evil cult!!!

Do you Know of any JW Pedophiles who Currently Go Out in Service ?
by flipper inmy wife suggested this thread and i agree it's a good idea to put this out here to find out.
just wanted to give her credit for the idea.. most of the public have no idea that some of the jehovah's witnesses people calling at their door are a previously convicted sex offender or pedophile who may have served hard time in prison for their crime.
it would be interesting to have an informal survey here and get an idea of the sheer numbers of these child molesters who are out on the loose.. in your opinion - how would the public react if they knew that child molesters were regularly calling on their doors ?

I know of two in the local congregation that I used to go too. They are both listed as Registered Sex Offenders, and both with minors. The first one, his listing on the sex offender list reads as: "Indecent assult". I know for sure that this was with a minor, it was in the local paper and I know who the child is. The second one on the sex offender list, his reads as; "Lewd & Lascivious With a Child Under 16". They both go out in service. The first one was under house arrest for a year, but before his coviction I know for sure he was regular out in service. I'm assuming now that he's served his time he still goes out. He's regular at meetings, I know that. The second one actually came to my Mom's house while I was there.

JWs having Facebook Sex - Strongly warned to get off FB at CA yesterday
by shopaholic inso it appears that jws are letting their freaky side come out on fb for everyone to see.. there was talk on the ca yesterday strongly warning all true lovers of jehovah to delete their fb accounts.
the talk was solely about fb.
the speaker mentioned that jws are associating with people that would not associate with in real life, often using the excuse that the person is a relative.

This latest "claim" from the GB about all this supposedly FB sex going on is really going to stigmitize the JW's that decide to not follow the "wise" council of the GB and keep their FB accounts. I can see it now, the peer pressure coming from the brothers will be that any JW that has a FB account is having FB sex! Same as how the internet is stigmitized by the JW's, in that anyone using the internet must be into porno!
They are so evil.....in reality we all know they are afraid of the light!

I've always thought, even when I was an active JW, that The GB treats the JW's like little children. I have a FB account as well as my JW hubby. I'm really enjoying all the latest crackdowns and changes. I've given up showing my hubby the truth about the truth. So now I just sit back with my bag of popcorn and enjoy the show LOL!!! Can't wait for him to find out the latest on FB!
BTW....I helped a Catholic Priest fertilze his crops, could I be DF for that? LMBO

Free Emergency Wallet Medical ID Card to Print Online
by Hapgood inmy husband is a jw, he has his "no blood" card prominently displayed in his wallet when he opens it.
i am no longer a jw and i am terrified that if an accident should happen to me and i am unable to speak for myself, my wishes that a blood transfusion is acceptable won't be respected.
i found an on-line emergency medical identification card that you can fill out with your medical information.

I found an on-line Emergency Medical Identification card that you can fill out with your medical information. You can print the card out and then lamaminate it. It's wallet sized so it's small enough that you can put it behind your drivers licence. I added under the space for medical conditions that I will accept a blood transfusion. Then in the space allotted for Allergies/ Blood type, I then again typed that I will accept a blood transfusion. I highlighted both in yellow so it stands out. There is also larger versions of the card too. I printed several of the larger cards to give to my family.

Shunned by the congregation for not performing
by truthseeker inas many of you know, i am a witness who still attends for the sake of my wife.
my meeting attendance has dropped to about 50% and i make maybe 1 hour a month in field service, although i report more than this to keep the elder's off my back.. after several months of this, the result has been noticeable.. those who used to be friendly and greet me no longer do so.
some even avoid me.

I'm so sorry Truthseeker. I can relate to what your going through! I was a JW for twenty-five years. Five years ago I had enough of their "love", walked out of the Kingdom Hall and never went back(although I do go to the assemblies to keep my JW husband company). I was always considered "weak" because I was too shy and quiet, I didn't comment much and because of my temperament, I had a terrible time going out in service. I was not born into the 'truth"so before we were Baptized we got "love bombed". After I was baptized, because I couldn't perform up to their standards, I was never really considered good association, so the "love" stopped and I was pretty much ignored. My daughter had some trouble in her teen years and they began to treat her that way....well that was what opened up my eyes to their ways. My poor hubby, he's still a JW, but very weak, he's treated like a "non person". Hardly anyone talks to him, it breaks my heart! A year ago, we drove a "friend" to the assembly because she didn't have a way to get there(she must have been desperate if she had to get a ride with us LOL). My hubby dropped us both off in front of the assembly hall, she couldn't get out of the car and away from me fast enough......she didn't want to be seen with me

So far so good, I think they have forgotten about me! I left four years ago, they came by to visit few a times right after I left, but since then I've had no visits! Two years ago an Elder came by to visit my hubby (he's an active JW), he invited him to the Memorial......I guess that Elder doesn't really know his sheep!! The Elder saw me and he didn't say a word to me......I just gave him a pleasant smile!

Tell us about your avitar.
by carefully faded ini loved the recent topic asking what each of our screen names means.
great question as i have always wondered about quite a few of our screen names.
as i was reading the responses, i looked at holey cheeses - king of the juice's avitar and thought about how i have been wondering for the past three years, what the hell that is a picture of.

This is a picture of me, really I'm a little beagle :-)
OK, I'm not a beagle. This is a picture of Porthos, the little beagle from Star Trek Enterprise. I think he is the cutest little dog, and I'm a huge Star Trek fan.
