How Can We Expose Child Abusers - Who Got Away with it as Witnesses ?
by flipper ini got the idea for this thread by talking with a friend this weekend who had been abused by a father when young.
this person confronted this parent about it and got a very self righteous reply back from the offender.
already a precedent for exposing the watchtower society has been set.

A real-life dub fairy tale. Happy ending? Not so much.
by parakeet innew light for you started a thread a day or two ago regarding an email that's been circulating around dubdom.
it's a fairy tale in which a 60-year-old guy with down's syndrome supposedly searched for years for dubs to connect with.
when he finally found one, all the dubs rejoiced that jehovah doesn't let his faithful followers down, blah, blah.

A different story
by Babylon the Great Employee ini have been shocked to read all of the stories about congregations hiding evidence of child molestation.
not just because of the tragedy of the situations, but also because my own experience has been exactly the opposite.
the elders in our congregation harbored a sister and her three children, who was wanted by police.

Ever been made to convince unbelieving parent to let you go to meetings?
by grizzly32 inmy parents divorced when i was about 6 and my mom married someone studying who became my stepfather.
we became one big happy disfunctional/tyrannical family with stepdad as dictator.
he thought it was important for me and my sister to get to meetings even while with our unbelieving dad.

Being shunned by JW's who you know have done worse than you
by milligal inokay-here's one i was thinking about the other day-after reading some of your posts.
have you ever been shunned by a jw who you know was doing (or had done) some really devious things?
for instance when i was df'd the first person to give me the five minute long evil eye at the grocery store was a sister who had five children by two different fathers and a sixth child who was molotto (she was white) and she insisted that she had no idea why he came out so dark skinned.....she was never df'd.

My Dad Told Me I'll Never Retire...But I Should Still Have a 401k
by B_Deserter inhe was telling me that by 2020, none of "this" (the weeeerld) is going to be here, but it's still a good idea to have a 401(k) because you can use it for other things, like a down payment on a house or something.
then he started talking about how he never thought he would retire, and now he's faced with it.
i just kind of thought that was funny.

by Witness 007 indidn't have much money...everyone wanted to come, so i reluctantly invited many.
we had lots of good food and nice bottles of wine, white and red.

Uncaring Attitude of the Society
by donny ini just read the account of a an elderly lady who passed out in a distict convention in canada today (06/20/08).
it seems that as some of the attendees were trying to help by doing cpr, the "brother" on the platform a few feet away speaking did not even pause.
when his talk ended a few minutes later and the lady was still being tended too, the platform folks just announced the next speaker as if nothing was happening.
