Sacrifices of spouses/families of exJW teachers
by Esmeralda ini have tears in my eyes now after reading jukief's posts about the sacrifices that alan has made to teach us all so much.
i remember when i made my first tentative post almost 2 years ago on h2o asking questions about custody issues and jw spouses.
alan was the first person who answered my inquiries, offering references for me to look at.

Therapy or Another Religion?
by Victor_E inwhile there may be some exceptions the majority of ex jws that leave or that are dfed suffer from deep emotional wounding from their jw experience.

do nothing: this in and of itself is a choice.

Another corporate breakup
by jukief infrom the onion:.
judge orders god to break up into smaller deities.
washington, dc--calling the theological giant's stranglehold on the religion industry "blatantly anti-competitive," a u.s. district judge ruled monday that god is in violation of anti-monopoly laws and ordered him to be broken up into several less powerful deities.. "the evidence introduced in this trial has convinced me that the deity known as god has willfully and actively thwarted competition from other deities and demigods, promoting his worship with such unfair scare tactics as threatening non-believers with eternal damnation," wrote district judge charles elliot schofield in his decision.
