I was Molested by my CO grandfather
by AshtonCA ini was molested by my grandfather from the age of 3 to 7. he was also molesting his daughter (my aunt) and maybe others.
it was covered over and my entire family was actually shunned when we went to the elders when i was 18. i did not tell anyone about it until then because my grandfather had me believing our relationship was special and it was our little secret.. when confronted, he of course denied it.
my mother even spoke up of a time when he had tried to molest her when she was 8 months pregnant with one of my brothers.

Stumbled Across the Forum
by UncleI ini stumbled across this forum today as i was looking for information online as it relates to johnny carson and the whole john denver thing that was spread around years ago.
it's no surprise that i cant find a single thing on it on the web as i always thought it was an urban legend.
just angers me that things like that spread around and so many people just accept it as truth because a brother or sister told it to them.

disfellowshipping
by mamas ini was recently disfellowshipped for being in a same sex relationship with a female.
i understand that it is against bible standards but i do not agree with disfellowshipping in that everyone including my family has nothing to do with me.
i am 18 years old.

Manuscript style public talks because of littletoe?
by truth_about_the_truth ini downloaded and heard the "da" talk by littletoe and man all i can say is that it reminded me of that phrase in that def leppard song "it's better to burn out, than to fade away!".
that was tremendous.
i read on another thread that this is the reason why the new public talk outlines are now more manuscript than before.

Jehover's Witness on Discovery Health channel last night -- No Blood
by Elsewhere inlast night i was channel surfing when i came across a discovery health program that followed cases in an emergency room.
one of them was about a jw woman who had some sort of head injury.
to be honest, i did not watch the whole thing, but i did manage to record it on my dvr while i watched other things.

What was your turning point?
by jeanniebeanz inwhat was it that was the real eye opener for you?.
for me, it was after watching the video, "jehovah's witnesses; a non-prophet organization," and the point on how the org puts itself in a place between jesus and mankind.
a position which does not exist scripturally.

'This Generation'
by fairchild inyes, again... after reading numerous posts on this site and doing some research on my own, i have a strong feeling that my whole belief will soon stand or fall with the understanding of 'this generation'.. matthew 24:3 .."tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?".
matthew 24:7 for nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another.. matthew 24:34 truly i say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.. .
generation:noun: group of genetically related organisms constituting a single step in the line of descent noun: the normal time between successive generations example: "they had to wait a generation for that prejudice to fade".
