  kinda shocked no one else started a thread on this, unless i missed it.

  surely we cannot pass up this opportunity to dis scientology and misogynists, now can we?.

  one of many of the same news stories: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/entertainment/4336437.html.

  hi have a problem and am in need of help.

  long story short my wife was one when we met, then she quit to be with me, now she has recently started to witnessing again.

  and our marage has suffered extreamly because of it.

  You're right, it was kind of jerky. As long as we're being jerky, it also points up your poor reading comprehension skills, since he stated he was raised Catholic, not JW.
  Stones, glass houses, meh.
  Heavy hearted, one of the posters above me said "Cherish your daughter." I would like to second that advice. There are many roads people take to salvage a marriage damaged by the JWs, but the relationship you have with your daughter is the most important one in this situation. Little girls need to know Daddies love them unconditionally, even if mommy's religion is teaching that Daddy is a bad worldly person. Focus your energies on making sure she knows how to think critically, as you do. Lots of luck.

  about 5 months ago gumby had a knee operation, it never healed and the doctors here suck in a big way.

  so yesterday he and his wife went south to get a second opinion and maybe get this knee surgery healed up.

  so if you got it in you please pray for his speedy recovery and healing.

  goddamn I hate that pump thing. I've had two different clients on that with NO results, well actually one of them had tissue necrosis and no healing as a result. Stupid pump. I hope they get it figured out and taken care of soon Gumby. I'll be thinking of you. S

  I believe I have a hard copy of this article around here somewhere. My last boss was a gyn oncologist and saved it for me. Yes, bizarrely, it is right here on my desk, a bit wrinkled.

  I myself do want to view and re-view it a few times in order to know what and how to counter its MISREPRESENTATIONS OF FACTS. I suggest carla take a couple of moments to consider the benefits OF seeing it. Even if you can only stomach it once. Try darlin'. You will then be armed with knowing how the enemy is actually moving about.

  I agree 100%, I do intend to comment, just not yet. I want to know exactly how to fight this particular piece of propaganda. I'd rather not give anyone an easy way to dismiss my criticism, so I will see the "documentary" before I protest it.

  Carla, if that comment was addressed to me, you will notice that I referred only to this movie; and judging it without seeing it, is a bit like the JWs judging "worldly" material without cracking the cover. The organization is a different story, I know because I was there.
  I believe, based on reviews, that it is biased, and likely a propaganda-type movie. However, I will not be writing any letters to anyone until/unless I see it. To do so without seeing it lacks credibility. I wonder what a newspaper thinks when they receive a letter that says "I will never watch this movie and you shouldn't show it because it is all lies!" I'm sure the first thing the editor thinks is "how do they know? They haven't seen it."
  As a sidenote: "god-given brain"?, well, then, I'm quite happy that my brain evolved.

  GUESS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY!

  by Butters in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i cannot believe what i saw happen today at the store.. i was at wal-mart browsing various electronics and digital cameras and such, when i heard behind me, "brother hardy, how are you!"...

  first thing i thought was oh shit, they found me, and forgot my real name, or have me mixed up with someone else.. turns out, this disfellowshiped witness was there at the store and saw one of his congregation members there.

  now i personally have never been part of the shunning process myself, but here i am, an ex-jw watching from the other aisle, a bunch of shit that i never thought i would see the lights of day on.... the brother, this "hardy" i guess, looked up at the man with a smile, but then when he realized who it was, he immediately frowned and started pushing his shopping cart away looking straight ahead and not even acknowledging the man... (here's where i jump in..).

  Well I hope the part about getting stoned right before going home is a story, because anyone who gets smoked then gets in the car and drives deserves to be arrested.

  Devil's advocate... How many of the people protesting "Knocking" have actually seen the film? Yes, we "know" what's in it, having heard reviews and read the descriptions. I'm just wondering if these protests without watching might be just a little bit like the JWs who say "I don't need to read that book to know everything in it is wrong/bad." ? And no, I haven't seen the film, though I intend to.
