  by Simon in

  this is a bizarre story.. there is a woman who is the local leader of the naacp who is obviously trying to mislead people into believing she is black who is actually white.

  very white.. she obviously gets a tan regularly but looks more orange.

  yes, orange really is the new black!.

  LisaRose - I concur!

  It would be awesome to know all the lies told by the (white) CEOs of the Fortune 500 list.

  Or even the "biggest" lies ........

  Lies and deceit are admired in Corporate America -- that is how one gets ahead.
  
  This woman's problem? SHE GOT CAUGHT.

  Why are Battle Against Faith

  by Jonathan Drake in

  if any are willing, share your fact based reasons for viewing faith as dangerous.

  viewing faith as dangerous is the reason for almost all of my posts recently.

  what seems constant is that theists are too focused on there own little world to realize how and why faith is so damaging to society.

  Ah, I am reminded of one of my 'lessons learned in therapy'. This is not a specific example of how faith can be dangerous, more than a generalization that makes a lot of sense.

  When a person has a strong belief in a faith, it excludes the possibilities. In other words, faith in one concept precludes the supposition that the possibilities are ENDLESS!

  So, I choose my beliefs carefully ... they are few and far between.

  Being shunned only increases my certainty that the WBT$ is a cult

  by punkofnice in

  well, i don't wanna rant too much but sometimes things cut you don't they.. a family member had a get together for the family, jw and non jw and of course i wasn't invited being da'd.. i understand why they couldn't invite me but it just made me think.

  in normal society this wouldn't happen.

  i'd have been there.. the shunning is so unnatural and damaging.

  I agree with the premise of the OP.

  The ONLY reason shunning works with some individuals who are aware of TTATT, is the emotional blackmail. The pain of losing all your family, is very real. In my case, the shunning only made me more disgusted with the cult, and my family members who shun me. Same as you.

  And the pain is there. Some folks on the forum have said they moved on, and very happy with no family. That is hard to wrap my head around (though I believe those individuals - key word "INDIVIDUALS" - their feelings are just as valid as mine), because the loss of my family, and the ability to visit what I call "down home" (the family home in the country), still hurts.

  I'm glad to see you posting, and venting and helping others! It's good to see you're still in fighting form, and makes me feel very "blue" ,,,,,, you know, my fav. colour is indigo! Keep on keepin' on, bro!

  What an awesome thing, to help that tiny, beautiful treasure! And hold it in your hands. :))

  Birds will 'freeze' when they are panicked, and appear dead. Its talons were probably hanging onto that screen in a death grip - good job!

  I have some feathered friends that I hand feed every day, they are delightful!

  VI - right! I've had to help one tenant who kept having a bird get into his basement apt. this winter (seeking warmth - we had a harsh winter). They will fly to the light, so if you make the room as dark as possible, with only the window or door open for light, they will follow that light to freedom. xx

  Blondie - his name was 'suppressed' - I am thinking that is because some of the victims were identified, and they were underage. He was using this tool as well as concealed cameras in bathrooms in a couple of locations. They will sometimes ban the perpetrator's name from publication if the victims are known to the perp - you know, protection of the victim's identity in sex crimes.

  Governing Body Mandating That Parents Shun DF'd Preteens Baptized Children Will Hurt Them Big Time In The Courts

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  as the bad conduct of the governing body becomes widely known to both judge and jury i expect that will make lawsuits more profitable against them and easier wins against them and more plentiful.. i think probably one of the most damming videos out there on the net is the one where the parents show their loyalty to the wt corporation and shun their own flesh and blood in obedience to it cruel directives.

  this video truely shows that the governing body don't give a shit about the children who symbolize their dedication to the corporation or their parents.. such a self serving corporation that uses it members for profits only and offer nothing in return no matter how much how much they claim otherwise.

  they can't hide this it is plain as day so no matter how much they claim they are concerned about the youth in the organization their action thunder loudly and can not be hiden under a basket.

  This story is from 2013. If you are from this town, you may know this perv, and alert others to his sick deeds of secretly filming school girls via using a JW briefcase. He also had cameras installed in bathrooms. The police also stated that he did not personally record the 1400 videos in his possession - so maybe his name was kept secret because he is part of a 'kiddie porn ring'.

  This excerpt gives identifying facts about the man and location. It would be interesting to know if there were any other outcomes from this case, 2 years later.

  
  A Jehovah's Witness filmed up the skirts of hundreds of women and schoolgirls in central Wellington, and when visiting private homes to spread the faith.
  Police believe at least 1000 women and girls could have been filmed by the man, 36, who would leave work at lunchtime to spy up their skirts on a handmade device attached to his briefcase.
  The former Department of Internal Affairs employee, who has name suppression, has now been kicked out of his church. A member of his congregation at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in Kilbirnie confirmed he was not welcome back.
  "He has been removed," the church member said. "Everybody has been very saddened by what has taken place. Any act of that nature is a concern."
  After the man's arrest in March, police found 1400 recordings, most of which they believe he made around Wellington from February to October last year.
