Yoga is fantastic for the mind and the body.I am a massage therapist..and yoga helps straighten and lengthen the spine. It improves posture and calms the mind.Because meditation and the origins of yoga come from india and have religious conatations, I believe that is one of the reasons yoga is frowned apon within the org.....Its best to start in a beginners class, where u will be taught how to breathe properly.....through your abdomen....deep breathing, which helps you to be calm....there are more advanced classes, but they are for the more adventurous.There are tons of tapes out now..which u can buy in woolworths, local supermarkets, (Asda, Tescos, safeways), and music stores etc..I highly recommend them.

A Sad Note
by Yizuman injust discovered today that a woman named melissa died last week.
she worked at the village pantry c-store next door to the mission where i am staying.. apparently the next door neighbor broke into her house, raped her, tortured her for at least 2-3 hrs, then stabbed her 57 times and then slit her throat.. i was shocked to find this out this afternoon as i was getting ready to wait on the bus (i'm posting now at the radio shack store where i quickly check on my email and take a quick peek at the forum.).
the girl was only 22 years old.. the cops knows who did this and they're looking for him.

My stepfather was an elder when it came out that he was abusing me.He was privately reproved.However an elder in the committee leaked the information to his wife who was a well known gossip and it went around the congregation.The humiliation was awful...I was 15 yrs old.There was a judicial committee.My step father was publically reproved....We had to move congregations...I lost all my friends.My step father ended up in a psychiatric hospital where he told me he was now chosen as one of the annointed.He was however still able to auxillary pioneer.This happened in the late 70s / 80's.He continued to take the emblems until he committed suicide in 1989.

"Murderers - Habitual Thieves - and women who screw welfare system"
These comments are typical of someone who just hasn't a brain cell!.......I too like Stinky have survived years of trauma as a result of being abused. It has almost killed me, and each and every day I fight to survive the devastation it has left me in.The abuser-molester or whatever the hell u call him ( I prefer MONSTER) in the eyes of the victim- can "never ever" do enough time!....The "victim" is the one left doing the time! The father wasn't only negligent but completely and utterly mad leaving his daughter alone with such a monster....the mother is also accountable.
I could trust a thief....or murderer...before I could ever trust a pedophile !
Hopefully that young girl will get the support and help from the social services....and the agencies that are now around for abuse victims.She will need all the help she can get.....she has been violated not only once by her fathers uncle, but secondly now by the people who she trusted to protect her- her parents!.......
I pray every day for all the children who have survived- but most of all for those who didn't!
The parents should be taken to court and charged with child abuse and neglect.

Witness Paedophile Gets 12 years
by Englishman infrom yesterdays richmond and twickenham times:jehovahs witness jailed for rape.
by emily manson.
a 53-year-old jehovahs witness has been sentenced to 12 years imprisonment at isleworth crown court this week, after being convicted of six counts of rape and one of indecent assault on a young girl in hanworth.. eric james richardson, from nottingham, was convicted and sentenced yesterday, after the court found him guilty of raping the girl over a period of three years at an address in hanworth.. the rapes occurred between 1988 and 1991 but the met's child protection team only began investigating the case when the victim approached police in june 2002.. the victim of the allegations, who is now 26, had become concerned that richardson might offend again, and had decided it was time for her to speak up.. richardson, a jehovah's witness, had gained the trust of the victim through his attendance at a jehovah's witness church.

What courage this girl showed...I would love to give her a big hug....as a fellow survivor...I would love to have seen my abuser imprisoned ...instead he took the easy way out and overdosed! I'm glad he's dead, but will always regret that I didn't kill him myself. ( I would gladly have served time to have taken the law into my own hands.) At least I know my abuser won't abuse again...but as for this guy...he won't serve 12 years..he'll get out on i.e "good behaviour"...or any other excuse his parole officer will give.And theres a chance he will abuse again when he is released...once an abuser always! I hope he gets the crap beaten out of him inside!...they don't take kindly to child abusers in prison.

Any talks from the hall or assembly still stick out in your mind ???
by run dont walk ini will never forget a talk at the assembly where the speaker had a 6 year old child on stage,.
and the experience went something like this.. while at school, the child said something to another schoolmate to the effect of ............................. "i cannot associate with you, because bad association spoil useful habits.".
"and if you don't serve jehovah, you will be destroyed at armageddon.".

There was a pop group in the 80's called "Frankie Goes To Hollywood"...they had a song out...words were:
"RELAX...DONT DO IT WHEN U WANT TO SUCK TO IT.RELAX DONT DO ...WHEN U WANT TO COME!.....
Brother gave a talk...obviously hadn't a clue about the words.....He said.."Brothers they say in the song........"Relax ...dont do it...well I say....DO IT!!!!
Needless to say all the young ones burst out laughing...much to the disgust of the congregation!! haha
