  geez, it takes all kinds,eh?

  I'm the same as you Donald, when someone starts preaching to me, I totally tune out, and do the "la la la la la la la" thing.

  Btw, love your book! Thanks again for sharing your story.

  Simon, you're a sick man.

  My kids have'nt seen it yet, I think it comes out on DVD here soon. From what I hear, a lot of kids didn't want to go to the dentist after watching his movie, something about a dentist in the movie having a fishtank. Guess I will have to watch it to get the full story!

  Ophrah's Book Club...Not quite.

  i work during the day and don't get to watch ophra (gee that's too bad huh) but thought we could post a few of the books we've read to help us or we enjoyed reading along with a brief comment.

  recently i've read breaking the bonds on winston's advice...it was a good read and opened my mind as to the control the wt organization has over its members, how it works and possibly the steps to combat it....i plan on slowly trying a few of the many suggestions contained in the book especially about instilled phobias.

  presently i'm reading who wrote the bible on stillajwxelder's advice and it is a fantastic book which explains with clarity the most logical theories about who truly wrote the bible and why....highly recommend this book

  If anyone is looking for a good read, get " A Father's Touch " by Donald D'Haine. Excellent book about abuse in a JW family. I couldn't put it down.

  Dreaming of Sweet revenge on my Pervert PO.

  btw don't miss another good story about cassies willy on my first post.. .

  my former po.. when i was about 10. the po in our congregation was about 45-50 and very friendly to all the young boys and girls at the hall.. he used to always pick us up, lift our shirts and tickle our bellys, and everyone always thought he was so good with children.. .

  i clearly remember one instance when he was tickling me at the book study in the living room, when everyone else was in the kitchen, having some coffee and biscuits.. .

  What a sick PO, getting his jollies where ever he can. You have every right to be angry with him. As long as you only dreamed of hurting him, it is ok. However, if you did really cause him suffering, that's a different story, because doctors take an oath to first do no harm. But there's nothing wrong with a little dream of revenge, as long as it stays a dream.

  As far as looking into taking legal action against him for what he did when you were younger, I say go for it. This seems a far better way to channel your anger.

  Good luck and take care!

  Were You Ever Put On Any "Restrictions" While You Were A Witness?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the elders and the watchtower society are big fans of using "restrictions".

  anytime a person has judicial action taken against them, they are imposed with "automatic restrictions".

  even if a body of elders felt that a person was too fragile to have any restriction placed upon them, they were required by the society to "restrict" them in something.......were you ever put on restrictions?

  A few months after my husband and I were married, an article came out in the WT clarifying exactly what pornea was. Turns out my husband and I had commited this before we were married ( I would have gone all the way if Iknew it was just as bad! ). So my husband had a guilty conscience and decides we need to confess to the elders. Mind you, I had just been appointed a regular pioneer two weeks earlier, and my husband was a ministerial servant. Long story short, we were privately reproved, and stripped of our privleges. I think we couldn't comment for a while too. Thankfully my family and my husbands family never figured out we were reproved, because a couple weeks later we found out I was pregnant, so our families thought we stepped down from our positions because of that.Sixteen years later they still have no clue.
