  i had a horrid bout about thirty years ago.

  the spasms were triggered by jawbone pain.

  it took years and untold funds to get meaningful treatment.

  Are You Invisible -- to Yourself? Do I Have To Give Up ME to be Loved by God?

  by Lost-In-Translation in

  i truly believe many jws suffer from what is described below.

  the gb is constantly emphasizing "serving others" and "never rocking the boat" or "take the discipline even if it was not your fault" or "be a peacemaker no matter what even if your feelings are trampled on.

  when i was a jw i never let anyone -especially any congregation elder- to walk over me - never.

  Overlapping generation segment on the new Circuit Assembly program

  by traveb in

  2. friends

  so there i was at the circuit assembly sunday morning with my eyes glazed over as usual when all of a sudden, bam!

  a demo with two brothers talking about the new overlapping generation teaching.

  the reason it took me by surprise was because it occured during the second talk of the sunday morning symposium, "sanctify god's name by your speech".

  magazine supply reduction

  by agent zero in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at the meeting tonight was read a letter to all congregations in canada.

  it explained that since most publishers end up with left-over public edition magazines that didn't get placed at the end of each month, they will now no longer continue to have an individual magazine order per publisher.

  instead, the entire congregation's supply of service edition magazines will be in a stack at the back of the kh, and they are to be taken according to need, with whatever is left over after service to be put back in the stack.

  An Amish man has been charged with sexual assaults

  by Lost-In-Translation in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/03/us/03amish.html?hp.

  an amish man has been charged with sexual assaults, dividing a congregation that prefers to handle disputes internally.. i have no idea why religious leaders believe that they have the authority to handle sexual assaults internally.

  when a crime is committed they should contact the proper authorities..
