by rebel8 inheard this on the news and thought this was pretty awesome.
apparently in 1 ny county, sex offenders are being ordered to attend a 4-hr seminar halloween night and those who don't show up will be visited at home by law enforcement.
in new jersey, they have been ordered to be inside their homes by 7 pm halloween and are not allowed to answer their doors.

"Spiritism" has Rapidly Spread in JW Congregations
by metatron insister k, like countless other witness sisters, has a number of vague, ill-defined symptoms that drag her down physically.. her md can't find much specific that's wrong - so she seeks help from an alternative healer - who uses "healing crystals",.
"flower essences", "rebalancing energy meridians" and the like.
she seems to benefit from this - and the healer is also.

Small (toy) dogs.
by greendawn inthey are cute breeds like king charles, maltese, pug, etc and one can see them often on the city streets taken for walks by their owners.
they feel comfortable even in a small appartment, don't shed an aweful lot of hair, are affectionate, and don't cost much to feed.
on the other hand they are not made for very long walks out in the countryside or mountains they can accidently be seriously injured due to their delicate physique and can be very aggressive with strangers.

trouble making real friends
by dezpbem inwe push people away and keep them at a distance out of fear.
fear of getting close again.
many ex-jw's have an odd habit of pushing people away.

I'm just numb! :-( I need to vent!
by caz ini have just witnessed for myself one of the most hypocritical scenes ever before in my life!
my sister's ex husband, ( father to 3 boys, 12, 15, 20 years) commited suicide a few days ago.
he has been a jehova's witness all of his life and and also suffered from bi polar disorder for most of it also, particularly bad in the past 3 years.

Have I been red flagged?
by searching4? ini find it very weird that in 13 years, not one jw has come knocking on my door.
i don't live in my home town and have had no contact with witnesses ( besides my mom) since i was disfellowshipped in 1992. is it possible that my mom ( still a witness) has alerted the local kingdom hall and had me placed on the " do not call" list?
or maybe i just live in the area of slacker witnesses?

Just sayin Howdy
by forsharry ini saw that other people had done this and i figured it would be a good way to introduce myself.
i've been reading many of the threads and let me tell you that it's comforting to read that others feel the same way i have felt about being in the organization.
i'm not sure how much i can contribute as far as delectible tidbits of information, but i have replied to a couple of threads to, if nothing else, interject some 'humor' into things.
