  Help me spread the word. Local TV station looking for abuse survivors willing to share story. Deep South Texas area

  you all may recall a recent news article i posted.

  it was about a bus driver who abused several school children.

  while the news never really dived into his personal life, i did mention here that he is a well known elder to the hall i used to attend.. two new charges have been brought against him and now the bail is up to $420,000.

  Watchtower Spin archives: Hayden C. Covington, J.F. Rutherford, and Muhammed Ali

  by TerryWalstrom in

  2. scandals

  there are a number of salient facts concerning this man who possessed a big reputation.. 1. covington and rutherford were pretty much the type a personalities who got along famously.

  in fact, rutherford wanted covington to be the next gb executive of the watchtower corporation.. 2. fred franz and nathan knorr were the polar opposites to the (above) dynamic duo.

  these two would conspire to drive covington out.

  Random Musing of an ex-JW between a rock and a hard place.

  by StarTrekAngel in

  2. experiences

  many of you may recall pass postings of mine where i mentioned my plans of moving away from my current neighborhood.

  mainly because my office got moved and now my commute is about one hour each way.

  my employer is pretty flexible so showing up on time, for now, is not an issue.

  Yesterday my wife informed me that she had finally decided that she will..... but with one condition... that my wife returns to meetings.

  This is emotional blackmail.

  Explain to your wife this and it's your terms, not the MIL.

  MIL has no right to put this on you and you flatly will not accept this full stop.

  my 2 cents

  Receiving so much hate recently....

  well, as you all know, my wife (unstuck) and i are not df or da.. we just stopped attending several years back after my "apostate" online activity was found by a nosey employee of ours while she was working in our office (long story if anyone wants to know - it would have to be another thread).

  we never met with any elders - no congregation judicial activity occurred (as we would never consent to do so anyway).

  so our policy has been to be the same kind, loving, normal people we have always been.

  In the Dying Light

  in the dying light.

  i smell the woodsmoke only in memory now and the laughter of my little molly in the dying light.

  such days have long gone when the cabin we built nestled cozily under the overhang of many branches.. hewn timbers snugged their fellows with dark mud plugging the ragged gaps and today still hold molly's tiny fingerprints.

  Many dawns and twilight curtain-falls have now passed from somewhere north of nowhere.
  That particular winter came much too early, catching us unaware.

  I had to read it twice, but it reminded me of the squirrel mucking around instead of preparing for winter.

  Yes I agree with zeb

  Very deep and dark, but well written

  Thank you Wake Me Up Before You Joho

  You definitely have a way with words just loved

  Gestapo Girl

  Nazi Lou or Gestapo Girl is crafty enough to sneak a peak and she is also thick as pigs shit to just ignore.

  Time will tell.

  Thank you punkofnice

  Yes I now look back and chuckle to myself "what were you thinking"

  Or is it what were you using to try and think with.

  Thanks, humbled

  e.g. was walking my dog and saw two ladies trying to load a huge sofa into a car that was not going to fit no matter how hard they tried, got in my ute and loaded it on, took it to their home they were so grateful, what a buzz it was to help.

  I did not want it to sound like I was bragging.

  Where ever I go I'm on the lookout to help anyone that may need assistance, the little old lady carrying her groceries to the car, just little things.

  I don't want arse kissing, just a simple thank you that's it, no more.

  The simple "thank you" is my buzz.

  There is the feeling of self-worth. I have not changed the world but I've helped a human.

  I would like to think when the time comes and maybe I need help in small things there is someone out there that will help.

  No JW could afford the time to be just natural and kind—the WT translated our lives. To do anything such as you did for simple goodness sake would be recorded and itemized as “ministry”

  EXACTLY!!

  JW and communion

  2. beliefs

  a few years ago i attended the kingdom hall during "easter" as my mother in law asked me to come to a service.

  i was hesitant at first, being a christian and a believer in jesus, she told me that jw believe in jesus and to come see for myself.

  i finally agreed to go.

  If you take the 3 million or so Christians martyred after Christ's death back in the Roman days the 144,000 were full already.

  But the jws don't believe they were true Christians.

  My guess is your mother-in-law will have a very hard time explaining to you if she even bothers to even try.

  She is just as confused as the rest of the jws.
