  i'm on page 90 right now...the info is definitely new and gives me a totally diff view as to how i used to think of faithful and discreet slave.

  i was thoroughly disgusted with the way the brothers handled the oral sex and leadership problem and the insight on the scriptures book...... still have alot of questions though.

  Welcome!

  Learning the "truth" It is a process that takes a long time to come to grips with.

  JW Children in Meetings

  hi my first post.. for the people that grew up in the religon, do you have any memory of being spanked for not sitting still in the meeting?

  i see kids acting like kids but the parents take them out and spank them for something like not sitting still.

  some of my worst memories are my father taking me out for a beating with a belt or his hand.

  Part of the problem is the unrealistic expectations of the little ones. How can you expect a 2-7 year old to sit still through a 2hr monotone program? The kid fidgets (understandably) and then he or she is hauled out the door for a beating. On the other hand if you don't take your kid out for discipline then you get the stink eye from Brother and Sister Holy who wonder why you are not handling the child by giving him or her a spanking.

  The kids and their parents are all set up to fail.

  Bizarre statement in April 2012 Awake

  by dozy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as books go, it is tiny, but it is immeasurably great in its essence.

  it can be carried in ones pocket,but if it were found in a library of 90,000 different books, it would probably turn out to be the most important one of them all.. wow a strong endorsement of the bible?

  er no this is the wtbts we are talking about here.

  Guess the Last Days Are Getting Better

  you won't read this one in the wt.... homicide is no longer a leading cause of death in the united states, the centers for disease control and prevention reports.. the leading causes of death in 2010 remained the same, the cdc reported, except for one: homicide.

  for the first time since 1965, homicide is not in the top 15 list of causes of death in the united states.. http://www.huliq.com/10473/homicide-no-longer-top-killer-united-states-cdc-reports.

  This is funny.

  I recently shared a similar article with a friend and they promptly threw the article back at me without reading all of it. Any fact or information that challenged his presupposed world view created too much cognitive dissonance to handle. He simply refused to read it and said, "we are supposed to keep on the watch", maybe the fact that crime is dropping, is Satan's way of making us think the end is far off."

  I gave up with that person.

  Once you realized the organization is simply a religious corporation, how did you leave?

  Did you fade?

  Were you forced out?

  How did you adjust to life on the outside?

  Do you still have social or family connections within the organization?

  What did you do to supplant the lost friends, routine, and sense of purpose?

  Your experiences are appreciated.

  SMART phones: I got my first iPhone

  by Terry in

  2. entertainment

  for my birthday, my daughter (who works for apple) got me an iphone.. yes, i was using an old motorola flip-phone until now...like a geriatric captain kirk.. and i wondered why people had been giving me those strange looks before.... .

  anyway, imagine my reaction to the mammoth technology contained in an iphone.. talk about a miracle, this qualifies.. i'm particularly impressed by the onboard gps.

  i can type in a destination and the phone already knows exactly where i am and will plot a destination map onscreen.

  It really is amazing isn't it? I rarely use a computer at home anymore because of my iPhone. It is incredible.
