  NIc, really? I guess you didn't read her last words here, which were very destructive in their intent.. "Negative" is the way to describe it. Uggh ........

  Be that as it may, I am happy to add my BILs name to the list.

  it looks like 5 of us will get together tomorrow at a starbucks on camp bowie in fort worth, texas.. this is one of those impromptu occasions which either suddenly come together or else just get jaw-jacked into a non-event:).

  ricky g is a recently minted ex-jw who is moving to my vicinity from denton.

  he has posted his story and other videos on youtube.

  Okay, and thanks.. I PM'd you the info re my BIL and his victims, at least what I remember. If you wish to send it to Lee, that is good with me! Hope it is useful. Since she is in Canada, she may be more versed in the Freedom of Information Act here, and able to access the files, which would be awesome.
  
  He did a lot of damage, and if this info can help anyone, I am glad to assist in exposing the truth about Jehovah's Witnesses

  i am not sure if anyone else here heard this phrase.

  i did from a circuit overseer when i was a servant many moons ago.

  with my newly enlightened mind i finally understand what this means.

  When I was in the JC, they counseled me to come back to meetings and all would be forgiven.

  Now, just to set the record straight - although my 'sin' was minor, I DID feel guilty, and I WAS repentant. I just didn't believe in the JWs anymore, though I still believed in their concept of 'sin'.

  So, why was I disfellowshipped? I believe now, that by definition, it was 'apostacy', although back then, that word was not in their vocabulary.

  However, the reason they gave me, was that I refused to 'accept their counsel' and return to the KH.

  *shrugs*

  Who knows WTH they mean/say ............ it's all irrelevant, once you know TTATT,

  It is important, however, to discuss these issues, because some of us on the board are trying to help people escape (NOT ME, no way, I'm done!) and if I can help y'all with your loved ones, maybe that's a good reason to stick around!

  omlg, Blondie! I can so relate to Integ's experience. A bit different - had the householder sic his dog on us. Yup. We knocked on the door, and he answered. When he found out we were JWs, he told us to leave. The 'brother' asked that he keep his (snarly Akita-looking dog) inside till we got down the walkway. He then opened the door and let said dog out. I had to hold my briefcase between me and the dog ..... it scared the living daylights out of me - I was only 12 or 13 YO. :'(

  Also, my friend's mother had a guy say this to her "I have a shogun in the closet, and if you people come back to my door, I'm gonna use it." *shivers*

  I will PM you, my Brother In Law's name, his crime (of which he was convicted and went to prison), and the approximate date. That's the best I can do, but if it's of interest, use it. If not, that's okay too!

  I can relate two incidents that I know about personally. They were not exactly what you are asking for in the topic heading, but may be relevant.

  After I left, so I would say around 1980, there was a sister (Minnie C. a lovely and kind woman) who was attacked and severely injured by a Newfoundland dog. Now, anyone who knows the breed, also knows that they are 'as gentle as a lamb'. My parents lived in a suburban/rural area, so this was a country property, with a long 'drive' and walkway. The dog jumped her, and she suffered a broken hip, and I think arm, and bites.

  Around 1980 or so, one of the younger kids I grew up with, Joey MacD (in case you're out there, Joey! I never forgot this, and hope you have had a good life. xo), got engaged to a younger girl from a different circuit. They were on their way to a convention, and the car skidded on a curve (there had been recent road repairs, and a bit of gravel on the highway), and she was thrown away and died instantly of a head injury. It was so sad, and at the time I was already long gone, but was overwhelming to think of the loss to the families involved.

  
  

  No, Jah does not protect his 'sheep'. It's such an illusion. *sigh*

  How do Americans feel about Canadians and Britons interjecting their opinions onto hot localized political topics: gun laws, abortion, ect?

  by adjusted knowledge in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in addition to the above question, why do citizens of the two above mentioned countries, or other countries, feel the necessity to tell americans how they should interpret the american constitution for localized issues?.

  i fairly much have an idea what the general population in the usa feels in regards to the first question.

  this could be one of the possible reasons cnn piers morgan poor ratings and eventual firing.
