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.

Where does WT get their money?
by Dreamerdude ini assume they get most of it from cash donations and assets left in wills.
there may also be some income from invested assets.
i guess they get a lot of money from old jws who die childless or with only df'd kids.geographically i assume they get it mostly from a few countries that have many publishers and strong economies.

Starting threads
by Landy inany chance of people resisting the urge to start new threads when the subject is already being discussed?.
the prince threads are a good example.
instead of one interesting to read thread with lots of replies you end up with forty threads with one or two replies.

Jehovah's Witnesses and language worlds.
by gonzobear ini was born in as a witness, left at the age of 28, and have been out for many years now.
i'm a writer and am writing about witnesses but from the perspective of how they control followers through the use of language.
it's only after studying a lot of literary theory that i've realised a lot of their mechanisms of control are through using language in a particular way.

My physically disabled mom attends one day assembly while excusing herself from her best friend's wake.
by RULES & REGULATIONS inmy mom has been physically disabled the last three years.she cannot walk without assistance,needs someone to cut up her food,needs help bathing and is either in bed,in a wheelchair or sitting in an electric recliner.my brother pays for her care while he's at work and takes care of her after work and weekends.. last week my mom calls me to tell me that her best friend of 50 years (who was not a jehovah's witness ) passed away.she tells me that the wake would be on monday night.i told her that i would help my brother get her in the car and stay an hour or so with them and help pay her last respects to her best friend's husband and 3 children.. she tells me that she would have a hard time getting in and out of the car and sitting at the funeral home would be too difficult.so,i decide to attend her best friend's wake to represent our family since neither my dad,mom and brother decide to attend.i attended the wake and told the widowed husband and the 3 children that my mom was sorry that she couldn't attend the wake due to being physically disabled.. i found out that my mom attended a one day assembly on that saturday.
she sat in her wheelchair from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to listen to the program.i'm pissed that she would miss her best friend's wake but attended an 8 hour assembly.my wife told me that i should of called her on why....." if she's so sick she could physically attend the assembly and not her best friend's wake.
