  Alert: Witch hunt begins Watchtower 15 july 2011

  reading the posts about the 2011-7-15 watchtower about mentally retarded apostates i foresee the following scenario:.

  1. congregational elders trying to get grip on non regular publishers and inactive witnesses.. 2. the good ones read in the watchtower that apostates are to find in the local congregation.

  3. inactives like me (i hate this name, but i use their language), and liberal witness like me, will be hunted, .

  I hope that this article doesn't make a big wave. Occasionally, I think about having a conversation with my uber JW mom about my decision to not be a JW. If this was a normal religion, I wouldn't have to worry about such a conversation. I would just not go to church and that would be that.

  And articles like this just reinforce my choice to not tell her my real feelings. I hate that it is like that. But, I also hate to think I would hurt my moms heart and put her in a spot where she would have to choose.

  I think he's cute! But feel terrible for him and all of the pressure that is placed on him at such a young age.

  My hubby's family were very zealous-they went out every Saturday rain or shine. And to make matters worse, the field service meeting was held at his house. One time, there was a big snowfall and his parents decided not to go out-very rare for them.

  The hubby said he was so happy he was going to be able to watch cartoons-Hong Kong Phuey, Scooby Doo, Fat Albert, etc.... Well, much to his dismay, one family showed up for service and they ended up goin out with them door to door. He was heartbroken. We laugh about it now, but at the time, he said it wasn't so funny.

  don't tell my girlfriend.

  secretly, i've had feelings for a person she doesn't know about.

  we've been seeing each other for the past 3 months, and so far, he's been the best thing that's ever happened to me.

  I'm glad you're not getting baptised, which is what I thought. But, please--- be honest with your GF. The comment "She'll find out." doesn't seem very fair to her. As far as your relationship with a new man-do what makes you happy.

  Take care.

  Loved it when I first got it. I was a very petite(size 2) 23 year old. I had a vine with flowers tatooed around my navel. It was cute.

  Now, I'm a 42 year old mom, wife, employee, aunt, etc... I am not heavy but have certainly gained some weight over the years(size 10) but looking back in hindsight, I wouldn't have gotten it.

  i detest this type of posting.

  it's only my opinion of course and so long as forum rules aren't breached we're all free to express ourselves as we see fit.

  doesn't mean i have to like it though.. honestly, can't you make your point without this kind of infantile name calling?

  When I was lurking, those posts scared me to death-they seemed so disrespectful! But, I continued to read this site and others like it. The benefits of reading outweighed the negative feeling I initially had. Now, I just skip over posts like that cause the repeated use of those terms is silly to me.

  But---if that's how a poster has to write in order to heal himself, then good for them! I don't have to read any post I don't like. I guess we all heal in a different way after exiting the WTBS.

  I think those shelves look like the shelves in the movie "Sleeping with the Enemy." Very neat and all matched up perfectly ===
