Who is the current "King of the South"?
by Azalo inever since the ussr fell it seems the jw's have been trying to find anyone to proclaim the king of the south (sorry if thats not how u say it but i'm just directly translating "rey del sur" ) just wondering if anyone knows who is the latest suspect, n korea maybe?
by the way, another example of how elitist the wts is, albeit subtle, why isnt the us the king of the south?
after all geographically speaking the former ussr is further north than the us.

???????! ??????? ???????????? Anyway, as for your friend, it seems that you've got lots of options. Her niceness may be self-serving. She may be nervous of you- imagine if everyone in the office knew her shuning practices! She might get a lot of flack. Or, she may be easing into a closer friendship with you for legitimate reasons, like doubt about the JW lifestyle. As to her motives, you'll have to follow your gut on this one. In anycase, totaly be yourself- do not accomodate bigotry. This doesn't mean you can't act different if you have a special goal in mind. But you have a lot to be proud of- who you are!

abuse and cults clearly defined, You have to read this!
by needs_lots ini have just reading a great book by sylvia brown, the other side and back, and i found a very interesting quote i wanted to share with all of you.the quote best describes the jehovahs witnesses and the abuse i suffered.. sylvia brown says.
"cults and abusive relationships have a lot in common.
they thrive in isolation and secrecy, which promote control and dependency and systematically eliminate alternative places for the cult member/abused to turn.

Why do some of you get so worked up over this, JW's control relies on lack
by Its so simple inpersonal growth.
most people are angry at themselves for not seeing it sooner and they just blame the wtbs.
if it was not them there would be something else that 'filled their need' and would have ensnared them.

This is a point well said. I agree, and its an issue I've always wrestled with, and continue to. I hope to soon get clarity on it. However, something is nagging in the back of my head that it isn't quite that simple. For example, I was raised, and have my entire immediate family in the org. Everyday I feel a huge tension between us- and the 'answer' is just to forget all about them and start my own new 'family'. Perhaps, but I'm not completely comfortable with that. Others on the board have truly complicated lives. What do you think?
P.S.- If you're a troll I'm going to kick your ass.

There is much life destroying energy in hate and contention. Find who you love, what you love & pour all your heart and soul into that.

Catholics Superior to Watchtower?!
by metatron inso, the catholic church is using sleaze ball lawyers to try to weasel out of child molester lawsuits.. (they were asking for it/blame the victim defense).
on the other hand, liberty magazine (jan/feb 2003) says "to it's credit, the catholic church appears to have cooperated.
in mediation, when possible".
