question about free speech and ex-witnesses
by ballistic ina while ago, there was some yacking about free speech on this web site.... i was thinking how despite recent events, it's amazing that a group of people with such different reasons for leaving their past behind, now with differing religious views and feelings on life and the world, men and women, young and old, people from different nations having much more contact than they ever did in the org, can actually form such a close community.. some people say, their goal is not to bring the org down but to see molesters disfellowshipped and brought to justice.
can i then put it this way.... some people are hoping and praying (rightfully) that the org does to these sickos what was once done to many of us.
(note the strange irony of those wicked people un-challenged and those summarilly dismissed).. does that mean that on a free-speech web site, the perverts would then be allowed to join, post and air their views, if not take over the forum when numbers reach the proportion that could be expected?.

Anyone read tarot cards?
by manicmama ini was recently given a deck, and since i am no longer a jdub, i know i will not be cursed to eternal damnation and possessed by the demons, i thought it might be fun to give it a go.
i have always been quite intuitive and thought this might be a good tool to help me develop it a bit more.
any advice from those that use or any good books to consult?

JW friends- Who am I talking to and what do I say?
by detective indungbeetle said this in another thread and i thought it could prove helpful to those that are still in contact with jw friends and relatives.. jw's defense of the watchtower is merely a thinly disguised effort to defend themselves personally.
recognizing this defense mechanism for what it is will be a first important step to breaking down these psychologically harmful barriers.. i was thinking that perhaps we could talk about how we speak to jw friends and, even more important, how they speak to us.
i found dungbeetle's very insightful.

Does Anyone Know of Any Recent Articles on Drugs?
by manicmama ini hope someone out there can help me with a question i have.
sometimes i still get the mags from the in- laws but toss them out without looking at them.
however, recently my 80 year old jw mother has started acting very strange and accusing my non-jw brother that helps care for her of using drugs in the bathroom and smoking crack while there, among other things.

Thank You, Minimus!
by manicmama ini don't post that often, even though i've been here for 9 years, ( more if count the lurking!).
but, i just want to say thank you to minimus for creating some of the most mind altering and stimulating topics that has gotten some other people i know to question their beliefs without animosity.
it has helped my husband with actual wt beliefs and their own words to contridict themselves.
