JWs Proselytizing on University Campus!!!
by outnfree inimagine my horror as i walked out of my french class this morning to see someone setting up a table, covered in lovely royal blue felt, with two tiers of watchtower literature attractively displayed.
imagine my chagrin when i realized who the "sister" was who was going to sit outdoors and chat up passersby: my former congregation's po's wife!.
i am not sure what university policy is in general as regards proselytizing on campus (but i intend to find out).

my cousin from texas, she of the abusive husband, cancer, and impending loss of home due to foreclosure, whom many of you helped greatly with gifts, good wishes, and personal attention (.
she requests prayer in agreement beginning at 10 am cst, that not only will she get the spousal support she is seeking but also that her divorce become finalized today, that god looks over the judge's shoulder and makes sure he is aware of all the suffering, abuse and malicious treatment she has endured for the past two years, as well as the financial facts of the case.

Please Welcome kidneybean
by outnfree insome of you will remember that i occasionally brag on my dear friend, jann, who has been such a wonderful, caring friend to me since i moved to michigan from ontario over 10 years ago and whose love and support i could not have done without recently when my mother fell ill and then died.
(rayzor is a cheerleader of hers, too!
) well, ten days ago, she finally joined the forum as "kidneybean," a reference to her new lease on life since last august thanks to an organ donor.

How sick is this??!!!!!!
by outnfree init's coming up on three years that i've been borg-free (*humming now to "born free"* -- lol), and while sorting through some papers i found the following, disgustingly self-berating example of how the wt made many of its adherents feel-- lower than worms.
just look at how much i was beating myself up, thinking myself a failure as a mother, christian and wife.
it makes me positively ill now to realize how terribly unhealthy jw-land was for so many of us.
