  Will the bully be punished?

  by Schizm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the following two reports are about a 13-year-old jw boy who finally struck back at the one who bullied him for 2 years.

  you will notice that neither report says anything at all about any sort of punishment being meted out to the bully.

  the victim is to be punished while the real villain got off scot-free ... without even a slap on the wrist.

  My heart went out to this lad. Not only does he now feel that his voice is not being recognised or heard, but he has been made to feel isolated and alone without a voice or true representation. Not only that, but most likely his problems have just been exacerbated by the fact that the elders in his congregation now have him marked out since they would blame him for bringing 'Jehovahs one true organisation' into disrepute, further compounding his problems and sense of powerlessness and isolation.

  It is good that he has dreams upon the future, is making plans for what he wants to do within his adult life as a career. However, what of now, in his childhood, shouldn't he be enjoying the freedom of that too without all this pressure?

  This judge also that sentenced him in my view unjustly, could we not petition many letters from this site showing him where we felt his judgement in this case was wrong, and explaining our reasons and also post this same petition to the local media in that location?

  I wish earlier I had seen this post. I would have perhaps posted my thread on bullying here instead. This is one of the best resources on bullying I have seen, it really is excellent! http://www.bullyonline.org (There are too links to bullying information around the world from here, indeed, online, it is perhaps one of the largest resources upon the subject, covering every imaginable subject area). When you really really think about it, the organisation is an organisation of bullies, telling you how you should think, how you should dress, how you should talk, what you can say, what you cannot say blah blah blah, see too this checklist to see if the cult you are with, or have left bears, the hallmarks of a bullying organisation

  http://www.csj.org/infoserv_cult101/checklis.htm

  Think about the organisation as a group of bullies, it does aid recovery and makes a huge amount of sense, enjoy your journey out from such.

  My kindest regards

  Mark

  Isn't it the latest Volvo lorry which is supposed to be the most powerful in the world, something like 620hp but can pull up to 150 tonnes?

  Got to say though aestheticly, American trucks win hands down, the only truck I've seen on our roads which looks really cool is the Scania, ruddy beauts.

  Aye cheers Xenawarrior, and it is too, a full on blistering hot bloomin lovely hot day, I've just done an hours landscaping in the neighbours garden, flowers and colour everywhere, ahhhhhh, tis gorgeous.

  Just look back along though Xena at my posts when I first was here, in that first year or so, I was soooo similar to Scooby, but its all part of the process, at least he's moving on in his journey and not staying stagnant, and he generally finishes his posts I think on quite a good positive note, ok, he pushes buttons, I did too, I still do, its just us being British, we can't help it being too intelligent for our own good, makes us appear really stupid too to other cultures. Just let him be, hes ok, nice guy, have talked to him on the phone before, like him a lot. Life would be boring without the likes of Scoob and all of you.

  Tis a ruddy lovely day out there, the sky is radiant blue with not a cloud in the sky, the trees are dressed in green leaves again. Butterfly's and bees flitter amongst the many perfumed scents. See that stone wall over there, wow, take a look at that, the stones are a beautiful hue. Down on the river, cascades of branches of trees tumble like waterfalls, dipping the ends of their toes in the slightly rippling waters below in the breeze. Here, lean over this side of the boat, see the fish in there, plop, oh look, one just jumped out the water, wowwwwwww.

  Love you too.

  MEN ONLY- Freezing up at the Urinal!

  women are invited to read this but they most certainly won't be able to relate.

  i know there have to be a lot of men out there who can't pee while in a crowded public restroom (bathroom).

  personally, the more people who surround me while i'm standing at the urinal, the more difficult it is for me to pee.

  i've just been sorting out various paperwork and going through the filing cabinet.

  as well as every pay advice i've ever had (20+ years worth back to '83) i also have every bank statement, every cheque stub and, erm ... a big wad of atm receipts going back at least 10 years !

  i just can't stand to throw things away for fear that i may need them one day!!.

  I do the same, tis apparently common with the British, goes back to our parents and the war rationing and food ration days, when everything was hoarded, in case it came in useful one day. Though if you got any old blank signed cheques, send em down my way, or if you've got a Ford Escort diesel van in the attic, send that instead!!

  Back along in me witness days, two mates of mine and I would often go backpacking together and we used to have this tradition of peeing on the fire just before leaving the site to see who best could dampen and/or put the thing out. Hmmmmm Keith, if you're reading this as a lurker in Devon, sorry. Anyway unbeknown to him, I'd put into the fire a sealed tin of semileena, however you spell it, there he was quite happily peeing away, a steady stream steaming onto the hot ashes below, when BANG!! the ruddy tin exploded covering him head to toe and his todger too in boiling hot semillena, he were'nt too happy, I can tell ee, burn't the end of his willy it did. His brother and I though thought it was hilarious. Wellllll, how the hec was I to know the darn thing would explode like that eh?

  Talking of loos, one thing I cannot stand is the thought that those hot air dryers, used for drying your hands, are basically sucking in foul urinated air / moisture from the bog area, then blowing it directly back onto your hands, ruddy great whoever thought of that one.

  The other thing is when you're pee comes out quite warm and steams. Especially when your peeing in the long trough ones. Tis ruddy awful, smelling that steam or someone elses going right up your nose, same with proper bogs. Whatever smell just came out the last arse is now being regurgitated by passing up my lungs into my nose and lungs, Glastonbury Festival toilets have to be seen to be believed on that one, what a pong!!

  Could we just have one post where everyone .... ?

  where everyone puts the past behind them, moves on and tries to rekindle what might otherwise have been good friendships, under ideal circumstances?.

  several here in times past, i have been rude to, offensive even.

  but if just for one post, i could make one further friend from this admission and give that individual everything in my power to assist them and become mates, the post will have been worth it.. how many of us might do that here right now?.
