when i was in dub-dom....i used to hate eating out....my ex always made us bow our heads and close our eyes tight shut while he gave thanks out loud.
did you do that in public??
or did you do it discreetly with your head bowed but eyes not shut....or.....head in hand...hoping people would think u were in deep thought?
i never prayed in public, ....... i found it a showy display, haughty............ many times i was with a group of jws out to dinner,,,,,,,,,and they would say a loud jw prayer........ i always thought is was soooo haughty.
little did i know, back then, that the whole jw organization was based on haughtiness.
someone posted an idea on silentlambs that i think might be worth a try.
60 minutes ii and ed bradley are doing a series of stories on catholic priests and sex abuse.
on every story page there is a little email opinion box..church on trial.

dear gov body, ........don't you think it would be a really 'loving provision from jehovah', if another 'example' like "erika" stepped forward,... for another "special" on tv?
would you please pray for that to happen?........your children are suffering!........please hurry and pray for this 'provision from jehovah' to correct matters!

i must say that reading all these posts have really brought back so many memories for me.
i had a terrible experience at my hearing, which i believe now, really bordered on sexual abuse of the mental kind.. our congregation was small.
this was difficult for the few young people that attended.
hi sentinel,
you are right, they never knew you... ........and they never cared about you.........and they molested you mentally with their questioning.......... then they spit you out, and cut you off from all of your support group......leaving you to commit suicide.
they were wicked............ you were not, you were full of love............i want to take those bastards down soooo bad......... god help me!

sometimes i wonder if the legalism and the authoritarianism in the wt have a purpose that i intuitively understood at first, and that somehow i've become blinded of the necessity of those things.. two things keep entering my mind - .
1. jesus likened his followers to sheep, and;.
2. the israelites got tired of the manna.. in leaving the wt, am i like the israelites who complained about the "contemptible bread"?
gosh, dantheman...
that sorta sounded like an advertisement for the watchtower society.......... you know, stop complaining about everything......like the israelites and the manna.
are you suggesting christians should follow every wicked false prophet that comes along?......and they shouldn't complain?
hi lawyers of the gov body!.......how are you?.........by now there must be at least one of you that realizes the gov body's position on this issue is morally wrong........they are harboring pedophiles, and children are being molested and victimized........and you are defending them!........do you feel jehovah wants you to do that?...........think of the little children.........and what jehovah wants you to do.......... do you feel a loyalty to the gov body because they put you through law school?
who should you be loyal to?........
the gov body, or god?
hi grout,.......barking up a dead horse?
naaaa.......... i'm circling in the sky, over a piece of almost dead meat, like an eagle...........and alot of vultures are starting to circle too......they are starting to realize it's a really valuable piece of almost dead meat.......(millions and milloins and millions)
come and get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
