this has been an interesting science project to say the least.
here is what i have learned:.
you have about 6 types of people posting on jwn, they all fit into a profile.. #1 you have people like me that ran the race, exemplified conduct while in the jw cult and learned through observation that there was a severe disconnect between truth, and the jw cult's statements.
Well im a #6 i really didnt want to be disfelowshipped and asked to not be yet they still did it to me.Best thing in hindsight they ever did.Now im free to Morph into class #666 which is "I dont give a shit for your stupid degrading putdowns of people you dont know list".

it's a little over a year since my daughter was diagnosed with end stage congestive heart failure due to a virus.
her dr. was talking heart transplant then.. i almost lost her 3 times over the past year due to complications.
2011 was a tough year to put it mildly.
great news indeed. There really are some wonderful Doctors out there who take care of people over care for money. Im so glad she is doing well and you must be feeling better as well.Thanks for letting us know.
Happy Az for you.
this is a sugestion i have to all members of this board ,members from all over the world, to let the victorian government in australia know that the world is concerned about protecting the children of victoria ,and theirby setting a precedent for the rest of the world, who are interested in the outcome of the criminal charges against the religion of jehovah`s witnesses in refusing to abide by the legislation to get "working with children checks"when required to do so.correct me if i`m wrong but i think if all of us sent letters to the newspapers here in australia ,the different members of parliment here,we would demonstate that the victorian judicial system here is under scrutiny to do the right thing in the eyes of the world.. we all complain that the wtb&ts/jehovahs witnesses is a cult religion that sucks,destroying family relationships,here is a chance to do something about it.
whether you agree with steven unthank or not,here is an opportunity to stick up for the children of jehovah`s witnesses and every other child that a witness calls on in their door to door ministry.. what do you think ?.

Two more responses today.
Donna Petrovich MP - appreciated me raising the subject with her and will follow it.
Colin Brooks MP- thanked me for raising the subject of this test of Working with Children Act 2005. He has written a letter of concern to both the Victorian Attorney General and the Minister for Children and forwarded my letter to both.
So far so good hopefully all members of the Victorian Parliment will know of the Court case testing a good child protection law. Negative publicity for the WTS im not sure? But it doesnt really matter, its just important that they cant just try and sneak it. I trust that Steven has thought well ahead and has a publicity strategy ready to go once the case gets to court.
In Sydney there is an Exclusive Bretherin Convention which of course is out of bounds for any none Bretherins. A Current Affairs tv program tried to interview some of them with no success.My view Who Cares! anyway Senator Nick Xenophon was interviewed and stated such a high control religion should not be receiving tax payer subsidies as they do not allow free choice for the children in regards to religion. Hope Nick takes an interest in the court case of JWs. He is aware of it.It would be great if he forms a Senate investigation into JW and child protection issues.
I will post replies as i get them.

i do, so i was just curious.. i know the org tends to attract/cause/contribute to people having low self-esteem, so i figure a lot of people must have it as bad or worse than me..
On a scale of 1 to You i always rated myself low 1. What else were we expected to feel? Yes Christians dont celebrate birthdays Yahde yahde but to a little child that equates to everyone else in class is special and has a birthday while I (jw) just feel dejected and distant and sub conciously felt of little or low worth. My mind doctor asked me once to express my whole childhood in one word and it took a fraction of a second to reply "Ambivalence" Explains some things.....hmmm.

re: "interview with a prosecutor" (steven unthank) by richard rawe on dialogue.
thank you to all those who emailed me about my upcoming interview by richard rawe on his "dialogue" talk show.. .
quite a while ago i agreed to let rawe interview me.
Thankyou Barbara for posting that message from Steven. I have emailed Steven and received a really nice encouraging reply.I have a respect for Richard Rawe by his association with yourself and Steven Unthank.
I will do what i can to help find a neutral location to host these serious and important audio posts.
To Rick Fearon .You really give ammunition to the WTS that apostates want to lead others.If dear Bro Ray Franz where still alive he would no doubt be ashamed of your deciet and sensationalism.You are giving us a bad name. Like Sizemik says STAY OFF THREADS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU!!! it was about Steven and Richard and not about you! i would like to add some choice expletives but Barbara will read this and i woudnt want to cause any offense to her.

Thanks BP it was all i wanted. I know they cannot get involved in the case( i woudnt want them too) but the fact that they are aware that the WTS has allegedly breached the law in Victoria.
For the current and past victims of sexual abuse within the congregations please know this was the best i could do from here.

i've been reading early wtbts magazines and have been finding some pretty weird stuff!
this thread is dedicated to such weird findings.. .
the golden age april 2, 1930 p.446 :.
Timebandit thats gold! Someone else referred to this"old light" as Dark Matter. I find it really amusing in a Jim Rose Freakshow kinda way.
Keep diggin and posting im sure to be laughing.

Well folks i posted a letter to all sitting members of the Victorian Parliment last week ( 128 in total ). The first replies have started arriving.
Christine Fyffe MP- The Deputy speaker thanked me for my letter and had forwarded it to the Victorian Attorney General for review. (Ok respose )
Phillip Davis MP - Thanked me for my letter and raising my concerns with him.
He stated that he was unaware of this test of the child safety law and will be interested in the outcome of the court proceedings.
So that is all i hoped for my letters to achieve. Just to raise their awarness that the Law is being tested in court this month and the involvement of the WTS of Australia.Will see if others reply.

Why try and ride on the coat tails of others Kool-aid? Your bad reputation just wipes out the credibility of others. If Barbara respects Richard Rawe then i would sugest we do as well but your spin just turns us away.
Sadly some ex-jw dont realize what you get up to and believe your spin and hype.
Let others speak for themselves without adding your special BS to it.
