Dinosaurs?
by Paralipomenon ini was very curious about dinosaurs as a child.
what was jehovah's purpose for them?
my mother used to say that they were used to prepare the earth for living, you know, like mulch and stuff.

Can't stop hating....
by ex-nj-jw inmy parents became jw's in the early 60's just before i was born.
i was raised as a jw but hated everything about it from a very early age.
going door to door was the worst growing up.

Instances of JWs causing serious harm?
by greendawn incan you recall instances where the wts seriously damaged the emotional health or generally the life of other individuals or you?
what i can recall are two young jws at the congo who had strict elder fathers and ended up suffering severe depression due to the many restrictions in their lives.
growing up as a jw in a repressive and unloving environment is not easy.

When is it 'going too far'?

we're not getting on the boat
by BlackSwan of Memphis inwell our furnace was acting up monday night.
it wasn't staying on, which when it's positively freezing out, is not good.. my husband called a few different people and finally asked me if i would be ok if he called my brother?
see, my brother is a) a heating and cooling guy and b) the heating and cooling guy who put in our furnace a few years back.
