We're Coming After You, Watchtower
by Farkel infor decades the watchtower corruption and lying corporation (hereinafter
referred to as "the cult(tm)" has successfully prevailed in court over their destruction of lives and families due to their disgusting and perverted disfellowshipping policies.
what they've done in effect is to argue that their first amendment rights must prevail, so they can then turn around and use that right to deprive all of their members of that very same right and liberty that comes with that right.

Abuse
by Eppie inso far i've had so many wonderful replies to my questions that i dare to venture one more here.. i will tell you a story about abuse in my family by a guy that has become an elder lately.
i will however change some details as i am still afraid to be recognised and dfd (i faded away very happily).. about 10 years ago a member of my close family was raped by a guy.
even though he was 'only 16' (this has been said as an excuse which really pisses me off), he was raping her when she was only 7 years old!!!

Isn't that strange?

HOW HAPPY ARE YOU?
by Mary inare you happy or miserable, or somewhere in between?
take a minute and see which statement reflects your life:
1. i am estatically happy; life couldn't be better; 2. i am really happy with no more than a few problems every now and then; 3. i am reasonably happy with my fair share of problems; 4. i am rarely happy and wonder what new curves life will throw me this year; 5. i am basically unhappy as nothing ever seems to go right; 5. i am usually unhappy and am beginning to suspect that satan has shown a real interest in me; 6. life sucks and i think i know how job felt; 7. i hope armageddon comes today.
