True Bethel Story
by drahcir yarrum ini arrived at bethel in december of 1968 on a cold night.
i had the taxi drop me off at the old columbia heights building.
the door was locked so i knocked and was reluctantly allowed in by another bethelite.

Dr. Bethea-Jackson
by drahcir yarrum inexcuse me!!!!
i was alive and kicking 18-20 years ago and i didn't need a fucking study to clue me into the idea that sexually abusing children was harmful.
harmful immediately and harmful in the long term.

Ex JW's in the sex business
by drahcir yarrum ini have met a number of strip club dancers and other sex workers who have at one time or another been associated with jehovah's witnesses.
this is probably not disproportionate to the number of other previously religious people of other religions in the sex business, but has seemed rather coincidental.
i have wondered it this is because of the sexual repression of the jw organization on its members.. anyone care to venture a guess?

Windowless Kingdom Halls
by drahcir yarrum insome time back, i had a disagreement with my brother-in-law, who even though he has doubts about the witnesses, still wants to put on the cloak of being a believer for his mother's sake.
while he acknowledges the doctrinal errors and abysmal treatment of the flock by their elders, he doesn't want to assign a malicious, controlling motivation to it.
i told him that i believed the idea of not having windows in kingdom halls was part of the brain washing that occurs during meeting after meeting during the weeks, months and years.

The Passion of Brian
by drahcir yarrum ini haven't yet seen the movie the passion of christ but understand that it is a powerful movie for those who are believers.
i haven't been a jw for many years but wondered what the organizations position is on the bros seeing this movie.
does anyone have any insight on this?

How I was raised as a JW versus how I have raised my children. . .
by drahcir yarrum inthe topic of losing our history, because of being raised as jw's got me to thinking about how i've raised my own children.
i have a son 17 years old, a son 15 years old and a daughter 13 years old.
needless to say they have only stepped into a kingdom hall once in their lives to attend my niece's wedding.

IF I WERE KING. . .
by drahcir yarrum ini don't much care for the thought of going to war.
i know that it is necessary sometimes and this thing with iraq may just be one of those times.
but, it seems to me that a much simpler solution to the terrorist threat problem would be for the united states to issue the following warning to the muslim world.

Before the US takes out Saddam. . .
by drahcir yarrum inwe need to take into consideration that in the last election in iraq, he got 100% of the vote.
like many dictators throughout the world, he is immensly popular.
he probably is stockpiling weapons of mass destruction to keep them out of the hands of real bad guys.

Let's examine this picture more carefully
by drahcir yarrum inthis is a picture of a new kingdom hall from a post several months ago.
i was looking at the entryway and noticed two chairs by the door and thought it was a strange place for two chairs.
are these chairs put there for the use of the "ancient prophets of old" if they should visit the kh?
