  I'm here off and on, don't post as much as I used to. I'm moving away from an exJW identity, I guess. I do like to keep up with the scandals though

  the secretary of the congregation said in a talk, what the congregation should have as goal for the new service year: attend field service meetings!.

  he explained in a sad tone, that he visited all of our 3 or 4 service groups.

  and what happened at the field service meetings.

  It was an accident exacerbated by several factors. If she was so concerned about privacy, they should have had a car with blacked out windows. They should have entered and exited the vehicle indoors in a location inaccessible to photographers. The driver was speeding, had been drinking, and the idiot photographer who was taking pictures while at speed is guilty of negligent homicide.

  GC, you've missed the memo I see. Time spent "witnessing" here is actually submitted as a negative number, with corresponding negative placements for every borg literature quote or link.

  How old were you when baptized?

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was baptized at the age of 11. like most of us, my commitment wasnt to honor god but rather i was gang pressed into the service of the wtbts.

  and, at such a young age, it was impossible for me to appreciate the enormity of my actions.

  honestly, how could i possibly have known any better?

  I was 30 Way too old to fall for such nonsense. In my defense, my brain was addled from the pregnancy hormones. I started studying when I wa pregnant with my oldest, and my middle son was 3 months old when I got dunked.

  I get so tired of people always bringing up "Black on Black" crime.

  by booker-t in

  i am responding to a post by someone the other day about a black girl beaten by a mob of other black teens for "acting too white.

  " the poster was trying to drive home the idea black people commit more crimes against themselves then white people do to them.

  while it is true some black people do insult other black people who they believe are trying to fit in with caucasian people, white people, hispanics, asians, and other races do the same exact thing to people in their ethnic group as well.

  wealthy black people don't get the same free pass that wealthy white people get. super wealthy black celebrities and sports stars don't usually get off nearly as easily as white celebrities and sports stars. The real privilege is reserved for "titans of industry", old money, and the political insiders.

  other than the story, the comments are very interesting, tons of comments by other blacks claiming the same thing happens to them.

  not only other blacks but their families as well bully them, calling them oreo, traitor, etc.

  there are people of every ethnicity and culture who would rather tear someone else down than put in the work to raise themselves up. that said, there is a long standing cultural bias against people with darker skin here in America. Even when it is invisible to the paler people, it is very noticeable to those who face it every day. I would love to see all cultures put more value on educational achievement and strong, committed relationships in all communities - there are plenty of fish-belly white people that seem to believe that book learnin' is for fools and parents have no obligation to actually raise their children.
