  ..you had been away from the wt for a time.

  i saw a quote tonight and it leapt off the page for me.. "now i know what it feels like to be part of a circle of friends, part of a group.

  its a very different feeling than i have had before and it feels wonderful and right'.. spoken by a lady after being released of her heart "wall" that she had established for protection.. + comments please if you like.

  After leaving home and getting hired at my present employer (over 30 years ago), I realized just how negative my parents had become when I'd visit them.
  

  Everything was bad, nothing was good, and there were no answers other than 'Jehovah' (which I find to be a completely useless answer).

  I thought about how our lives were diverging, like a fork in the road, a path that splits in 2 with each going off into 2 different directions. It made me sad... like I was suffering their death before they had actually died.

  Growing up gay in North korea

  by fulltimestudent in

  how do you know you're "gay", if you've never heard of "gay?".

  does something exist if there is no word to describe it?

  consider the experience of jang yeong-jin.. .

  From the article: “There are many homosexuals in North Korea who live a miserable life without even knowing why,” Jang Yeong-jin said. “What a tragedy it is to live a life without knowing who you are.”

  How does the suppression of information and knowledge benefit the world? There is absolutely no point to living a miserable life because of this.

  Christians not knowing the Bible

  last night a young man in a bar struck up a conversation with me.

  our town is having our pride parade soon and he brought it up, the bible and how it's against the bible.

  me being me, i said that i couldn't care less that it was against the bible and that it was a horrible guide for morality anyway.

  Elders are Complicit with WT Society in Child Abuse Scandals- Gonzalo Campos Case

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  of course, most of us realize this.

  however sometimes even on this board sometimes threads have stated that the jw elders have been occasionally painted as the " fall guys " who take the rap for the wt society leaders - which of course is true - to a degree.

  however- that being said , many times elders have failed to protect - or even have failed to advocate for child abuse victims when it has been within their power to do so.

  STADD said: I remember a conversation I had with a CO around 2005 about child abuse and he told me it was not that bad in the Wt. org. That there was only a few cases of it worldwide. I said to him I must know all of them when I told him of 7 cases I knew about. He had this scared look come over his face and then he changed the subject.

  I concur with what STADD said. It is my experience that most JWs do not realize the enormity of the issue of child abuse in the organization.

  I told my Dad a few years ago that if there was just 1 JW who was a child molester, then this cannot be God's organization. How could/would God allow this? My Father could not answer this question. This was in direct relation to a discussion we had about a child molester in my Dad's former congregation.

  JM, you bring up another very valid point about the Biblical flood/Noah's Ark story and the issue of feeding all the animals on that boat for a year.
  

  LOL! Thanks VI. I will be sending those videos to one of my friends. We have fun regularly dissing the Bible.
