Squatters, UK and Canada
by James Mixon ina portland man who recently purchase a home was surprised to learn a family had moved ahead.
of him and changed the locks.
he called the police officer and he said there was nothing he could do.. he offered the occupant money to move out, without success.. squatters have rights here.. do squatters have rights in your country???

This sounds off. Squatter's rights usually apply to land, and in Canada, this:
Acquiring valid title to real property through adverse possession is possible in most Canadian common law provinces.
The fundamental rule is simple enough: if a person occupies land for the required period of time as set out in provincial limitation acts and, during that time, no legal action is taken to evict or intrespass, the ownership in the land goes from the legal owner to the squatter.The time limitations run from 10-20 years, depending on provincial legislation. You can't just move into an empty house, change the locks, and PRESTO! it's yours. In land cases, the 'squatters' may have paid taxes for many years, and/or used a piece of land whose boundaries were not legally challenged and/or defined and the legal owner did not instigate the process of legally securing her/his property.

Are you angry at the people who ignored your abuse?
by purrpurr infollowing on from my privous thread about being beaten.
(which seems to have got the most horrendous stories now, i'm so sorry to all those who suffered in that manner).
i'd like to ask when you think about all those people, jw's, family members etc who knew that you were being beaten/abused and did nothing to stop it are you angry with them about it?.

No. I had 2 uncles and 1 aunt come to me in later years (not JW and now passed), and say they knew my mother was psycho and treated me very badly. But back in the 60s and early 70s, people *owned* their children, and little was done to extricate them from abusive homes. Though I never complained (too afraid of my parents) I also learned that 2 of my teachers tried to get me help, but there was none to be had. They are both retired, and haven't been able to find and thank those teachers. xo

Link to the article - as usual, the comments section is a good read.
Love this one... ahahaha!

"I was raised JW and I can confidently say that I think I'll survive the Armageddon. Because I'm fighting with Dumbledore's Army and they already killed Voldemort, so... yeah.
(But really, watching this gave me PTSD and I need to go call my therapist)"

Were you beaten as a child?
by purrpurr ini've been confronting my mother with her dubious parenting skills (abuse) of me as a child.
particularly the beatings i would get with the wooden spoon.
not a light smack but hitting me as hard as she could for as long as she could.

Alone
by Deleteandrestart insince i woke up one year ago , i've been doing a somewhat controlled fade , the experience i've had has been a very solitary one , i don't mean by not seeing anyone i know because i know hundreds in several congregations and i was an elder .
but just coming to terms with the fact that this was no longer the solution to life's problems, that i'd wasted so much time, that as i sat in the kh and heard everyone comment, my heart was no longer in it , i no longer fitted in ..... i felt that they were in the congregation all under the spell or some form of hypnosis from the wtbts,.
it was like for the first time in my experience at the kh , that i was the only one to see what was actually going on , the indoctrination, the guilt tripping, i could see it all as clear as day , and yet i had as it where a metal gag over my mouth, i couldn't speak to anyone about it for fear of them turning me into the spiritual police.
