Our IN-justice System
by MyKidsMom inhaving experienced the pain, heartache and inner torture that goes along with discovering my young son was sodomized multiple times by an elder in the congregation years ago, plus the added torture of my son then growing to teenage years to molest my youngest daughter, the knife in my heart continues to be twisted deep.
my teenage son, now 22, spent a few years in a juvenile detention school for his crime.
his offender died years ago, and went unpunished by our so-called justice system.

Did you ever experience "Joy"?
by Pork Chop inone thing that always struck me was the rather dour nature of the organization.
i know people laugh, and at seem to have a good time, at least occasionally.
however, one thing i just haven't seen is a real outpouring of joy, like david dancing like a crazy man or some of the other occassions in the scriptures when it seems like people were almost overcome with joy.. anyone here ever feel real joy as a witness?

Why don't JWs observe Kosher laws? or Should JWs eat that juicy steak?
by M.J. inaccording to ajwrb.com, even a thorough bleeding of a slaughtered animal leaves as much as 50% of its blood in the flesh.... since jws are so emphatic about not "taking in blood" when it comes to blood transfusions, what is their reasoning for not observing kosher laws, at least with regard to the draining of the blood?
do most jws feel conflicted over eating a juicy and bloody rare steak?
is there any official prohibition against this?

A witness should NOT ALLOW their cat to eat a bird!
by gumby inwitnesses believe it would be a transgression against jehovah's sanctity of blood to give your pet a blood transfusion....even though it's an animal, blood is to be poured out on the ground and not used in any manner.
one time, a notable brother who left the borg and was visiting with some friends to encourage them out of the cult, saw the wifes cat eating a bird out the window.
he said "maggie!
