  i rented a house in the late !970's and the contents in the home were given to me.. it happened to be books: ( making my life happy, revelation, children bible stories, listening to the great teacher ) i was enjoying the reading.. -----------------------------------.

  a few years later began to notice awake magazines in doctor offices, and other public places and read them and enjoyed them.. ------------------------------------.

  What was the first thing Adam said when he set eyes on Eve?

  by ballistic in

  according to the bible he decided to name her "woman".

  in the previous verses he had been on an exercise to name all the beasts of the field and birds of the air.. personally, if i'd been wandering around a paradise garden on my own for years naming animals and suddenly set eyes on a perfect naked woman, i think i would be inclined to invent the first swear word.. although later, when eve gave birth, adam said it had been "with the lord's help".

  so maybe he wasn't quite as spontaneous as i'd imagined, or maybe adam thought god was serious when he said she was a "helper".

  OK there's an important question here that seems to be in the backs of people's minds but has not yet (that I know of) been directly and politely asked.

  JW, why, exactly, are you here? How did you find this place and what are your intentions?

  JWs abusive by nature.. ?

  by osmosis in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  the current pop psychology about cults is drawing a very strong parallel between cult victims and "battered woman syndrome".

  1. the woman believes that the violence was her fault.. 2. the woman has an inability to place the responsibility for the violence elsewhere.. 3. the woman fears for her life and/or her children's lives.. 4. the woman has an irrational belief that the abuser is omnipresent and omniscient.. i myself have noticed certain abusive patterns in my relationships with my jw relatives.

  a lot of it comes from my dad and now when i think about it, i think of it as manipulative, "jedi mind tricks" he tries to play on me.. has anyone else noticed manipulative and/or downright abusive undercurrents among jws?

  Has anyone else noticed manipulative and/or downright abusive undercurrents among JWs? I'm not trying to make reference to victims of sexual abuse, per se, just abusive and/or manipulative patterns in general.

  ok, this is gross.. i use to work in a restaurant in fl.

  this lady use to come in that we called poopy pants.

  I can't believe I even read this thread, let alone reply to it.

  My sister used to work at a Sirloiner in Vancouver. One day, according to her, one of the homeless guys that lived under the Granville St. bridge came in and left a huge pile of poo right beside the toilet.

  Obviously some sort of clever social commentary.

  ok all time to get real.

  child abuse is not limited to jw's.. if you truly want to stop child abuse first start with the family , and be honest we all have a relative that is a pedophile.. then protect your family from stranger danger.. don't just isolate to jw's.. expand and truly stop the child abuse world wide.

  Is it just me or did "JW" just equate pedophiles, molesters and murderers to homosexuals?

  Funny how if you wait a little while the true colors start to show.

  JW: You cannot be right about cops being JWs. Being a police officer means taking up a potentially (and often actually) violent career, where your sworn duty just may be to kill someone. There is a fundamental conflict here, and therefore a person simply cannot have this job and be a witness.

  That you should choose to claim otherwise seriously undermines your credibility and makes me and others wonder why the hell we're bothering to talk to you in the first place.
