my name may be a bit premature...because i'm actually still active within the org, but i guess you could say i've already "left" in my heart.

i'm just scared to take the first steps, because i don't know any "ex's" in my neck of the woods, and i'm very scared of loosing my family.

i just need someone to talk to.. .

Welcome! I am from San Antonio too!

former jehovah's elder on sex assault charge .

a former jehovah's witness elder who apologised to his alleged victim on facebook has been charged with two counts of indecent assault.

richard hill will appear in the heidelberg magistrate's court on march 1 over allegations that he sexually assaulted a six-year-old girl in 1981.. the victim, now 38, told fairfax media that mr hill did everything except penetrate her - ''he tried, but couldn't manage''.. she said she ''did not realise the gravity'' of what had happened until she was about 14.. at that point she told her mother, who could not act because of a jehovah's witness rule that allegations of sexual abuse would only be acted on if two elders witnessed it, she said.. much later, the victim confronted mr hill on facebook.

would love to see the 'more than 3 yrs ago' rule applied to the r&f witnesses ... such bastards they are! is it any wonder why there is so much animosity towards them?

getting all the usual apologist nonsense and people who have little understanding of the case or the way the society works.

it is good that the comments are still going though and there is sanity occasionally.

Can Satan enter your mind if you stop thinking?
by God_Delusion in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
as a kid, my brilliant pioneering mother told me that if i stopped thinking, satan and his demons could enter my mind.

am i the only one that was told this useless drivel?

is there a watchtower article that sort of backs this up?.
cheerios

no i heard it too. especially in connection with hypnotism or any other thing that causes you to lose control of your own mind. then the demons will immediately jump in and take over.
utter ridiculousness

so i'm having a quite morning and then "ding" goes the front bell.. not expecting anyone, saturday morning 11:00am.. go to the door look out the window and see briefcases.. i open the door not knowing what i would say or do.. .

it's old terry the elder and his sidekick 25-30 male.. i knew terry from my childhood.

he gave many talks at conventions.
cheerios

i have the perfect response .. just none will come to my door. this is what i want to say:
dubs: hi we are dubs and want to read you a scripture
me: oh good, two of you. we need two for the satanic anal sex ritual we are about to perform. you put on this smurf bondage costume, you put on this wibble, and can both of you chant the Ballad of Spurlock while guzzling booze and drugs at the same time?
