New Locks on the Door
by TOTH ini have to say that when my father in law asked us for a key to our apartment with the idea of "helping" my sick wife i did not like the idea at all.
my wife was all for it though so against my protests she went ahead and gave him one.
well with him behaving more and more like a junkie things have finally come to an ugly head.. a little background info.... my wife's dad has been on heavy pain meds for decades now.

Male female ratio's at assemblies
by Jeremy430 ini've heard it said that the male female ratio between jehovah's witness's is 7 female to 1 male.
when you go to the assemblies or the hall, nothing could be further from the truth.
were do people come up with those numbers anyway?

Door knocking in difficult territories.
by LeeT ini live in a 'difficult territory', though there is a kingdom hall only 15 minutes walk away.. how do jw's deal with door knocking in difficult territories?.
our door can be hard to hear if people come knocking but there is usually somebody home.
i haven't seen a jw at my door in 10 years or so.. now most of you would think that was great i know, but it would be good to meet them in the flesh occasionally, without having to go to the hall or arrange a study.. .

thankyou all who have shown support to me and goodbye for now x
by looloo ini first came on this site around the time we were waiting the my daughters abuser to face justice in crown court , we got no justice (due to lack of evidence) but his other victims had a very small section of the abuse they suffered legally recognised , due to a deal being done with the defence , so we waited 20 months to give evidence just to be dropped at the last minute for a "deal" my by now ex best friend decided to stand by the child rapist !as did some of his family despite him being a disfellowshipped person (he was not disfellowshipped for child abuse ) and they are all jws !
isold my house and left the town i once loved as i couldnt bare to be in the same town as him when he left prison (he did 18 months of a 3 year sentence ) and see his supportive family knocking on doors taliking of truth made me feel like screaming at them "what about my poor girl , wheres your support for her , you hypocrites "my daughter is still very much affected by what happened to her age 13 , sexual, physical and mental abuse over months and months .
but i also have a 6 year old girl who was only 20 months old when i found out and reported the abuse to the police , and the long process started , for the next 20 moths i could think of nothing but giving evidence in court and trying to support my girl who was also terrified of that , my little one was 3 and a half when he was sentenced and i looked back and realised i had hardley taken any notice of her since i found out about my other girls abuse , i had missed out on so much of her best times , learning new words etc , i was too preoccupied .

JEHOVAH: What's In a Name?
by Cold Steel inthe jehovah's witnesses used to place a great deal of stock in the fact that they used god's name frequently whereas most christians were content to substitute the term "lord.
" their bibles are rife with the term "jehovah" and many combine the name with the title "god" to the point it sounds bizarre to others.
thus it is "jehovah-god" did thus and so and "jehovah-god" commanded moses to do this and that.

Anyone listen to The Overcomer Ministry?
by zzaphod ini sometimes listen to this chap (brother stair) on my shortwave set, he`s on the air on 6.110mhz and audible here in the uk between about 14.00 and 17.00 gmt.. or can be heard on his website (i won`t post a link, because it`s the messiest website i`ve seen, and for some reason causes my pc to hang), but you can find it via google if interested.. i ask this question in the entertainment section, because although he rambles on about the last generation, yahweh, and the rest, he`s also a bit of a conspiracy nut.. i find him entertaining, even funny at times.. if nothing else this chap is devoted to his message, i don`t think i could really take him seriously as a minister though.. i was wondering if he has a large following in the usa, he`s based in walterboro, north carolina.. i`ve travelled around the south east of the usa a couple of times, including nc, but i don`t remember hearing him on the am band when i was last there.. btw talk radio in america is the funniest thing i`ve ever heard, much better than our stuffy, and definitely un-funny bbc, which sounds more and more like pravda as time goes by.. .
all the best.
