Millions now living with emotional scars..... scars that will never die.
by koolaid-man inmany former jehovah's witnesses are now coming forward and reporting of traumatizing events when they were young witnesses, that have left them emotionally chalenged and scarred.. crying babies only weeks old are taken in the back room of the kingdom hall and spanked, many young jw's are severely beaten with belts, rulers, wooden spoons ect.. the physical abuse in the organization is extreme and excessive...... but it does not stop there.. when a jw youth is disfellowshipped the emotional damage can be very dangerous even pushing many to commit suicide.. one of our guests on the six screens of the watchtower conference call sat.

The Honeymoon Stage...well kind of
by mrsjones5 ini'm keeping my distance from my parents but i keep running into my mother around town.
yesterday it was at walmart, a couple of weeks ago it was at the mall.
both times my husband was not acknowledged (basically shunned), hubby says its a weird feeling but he's ok with not having to talk to my mother.. i call my mother every couple of weeks or so and the last time i spoke to her (about two days before walmart) she said that she wished we could go shopping or go to lunch together.

cult novelist writes about...........cults !
by wobble inthe novelist and essayist haruki murakami wrote quite a bit, based on interviews he did with survivors and cult members, about the aum sect, who released deadly sarin nerve-gas on the tokyo subway in 1995. his interviews and his thoughts appeared in english in the book "underground".. he promised to return to the matter of cults in his fiction, which he has done in his latest work, iq84.. in it appear two cults, one is "aum like", with a very sinister leader, the other is a christian sect whose pamphleteering members refuse life-saving surgery and is called "the society of witnesses", i wonder who inspired the latter one ?.
