A new podcast episode, and a new book by an ex-JW
by dubstepped ina new podcast interview, and a new book, on episode 15 of the "shunned" podcast.. .
jason grew up in amish country but was raised in the cult of jehovah’s witnesses.
this story has cars hidden in the woods for a getaway, living on boats, time spent in rehab, a jw group of “lost boys” that were dealing drugs, just your average story of leaving a cult.

Not sure on how to tie this into a JW topic, but has anyone seen Ru Paul lately. Just flipping through the channels ...
by RubaDub ini guess boredom is setting in (i am not interested in seeing football / baseball / basketball /hockey games from five years ago).
i am switching through the channels and there is ru paul and several "friends.".
i'm not sure of which pronoun to use, but ru paul looks like a football player and not the thin, svelte person that was the ru paul of 20 years ago.

havana times – alfredo nunez elias was born with a congenital malformation which resulted in him losing a leg when he was 33 years old.

School teachers and jw parents
by caves indid anyone have problems with their parents and teachers butting heads on the jw 'rules' we as kids faced when going to school.
extra circular activities, sitting out for birthdays and holidays... ect.. the jw that raised me was quite a vocal, loud, sometimes violent tempered person and there were many clashes with my teachers.
thank goodness the superintendent took me under his wing, his wife and him for a while.

young ones try and be friends with older ones
by Akid48 inknow before i say anything the title might make go like ''what?are you going to say that its bad for a younger person to be friends with a older one'' no not at all i think its a good thing that a kid should have at least one older person they are friends with.. now,i dont think young people should not try and talk to some one older than them or become friends like i said.but to me it seems more like a cover up for the watchtower because a lot of young people when they can most will likey want to get out and leave.now to me all the time when i see a congregation there are more older people than younger.young people mostly want to have a friends there age,but that's hard most family's say ''we dont want to have kids in this system.
''which leaves a low amount of kids in a congregation.. what i'm saying here is that not all congregations have 12,13,16,5,6 year old kids so kids that age dont have many friends to start out with.
so i see the hole thing on making friends with older ones and you should be talking to older ones more as a cover up to that problem.. i might be wrong about this hole thing but i wanted to talk about,as some one who cant really have friends because there is no one my age i could really talk to..

Hit Movies that could be made regarding Jws or other cults
by caves inone i was thinking of is if a gay jw fell in love with a gay mormon and both got shunned at the same time each in there respective religions 'cough' cults.
both with no more family and no friends.
both with deep conscience issues ripping at the very fabric of their love.
