SIMON: Would a Search name/word feature for PM's like we have for regular threads be at all possible?
Like you said, Cappy, sometimes it is days before someone replies to a PM and it gets lost amongst others.

just a feature request.
not necessary, however it's just a suggestion.. it'd be nice to have threaded conversations in the private message system so you can see what the person who replies to your message was replying to.. sometimes it's days between messages and you have to go back into your sent folder to find out what they're talking about for context.. just an idea..

i'm still amazed he said this when he was questioned by the rc in austraila.... if anyone is in any doubt that the gb are "full on in" then that statement he made just proves these gb guys are 100% captive to the concept that they are chosen by god to be guardians of the galaxy er i mean doctrine.
.
these guys actual think, 100%, they are anointed and chosen by god to run his physical organisation on earth and that they will indeed co-rule in heaven with jc...geoffrey wants to chat to jc about the inadequate child abuse policies that the wt have since jc actually runs the show from heaven.. the gb are not master criminals or intelligent people who know how to dupe people or trick them, they fully believe 100% the bull they preach.. mental..
What I think doesn't really matter except to me but my 2 cents is the GB are sociopaths and so are their kiss up helpers. They are only interested in power, status, and soon living in their lakeside estate like big shots.
They want all your money, before death and after. Greedy.
You have to do what they say even though this Big Boys Club (GB) keep moving the 'goal' post. Arrogant.
They allow pedophiles to roam freely in amongst others who are unknowing. They honestly do not care about the victims. Unfeeling, EVIL bastards.
The GB lie but they don't get DF for it. Hypocrites!
-----> During the ARC, I felt Geoffrey was having his own brand of fun telling them he 'hoped' to talk to Jesus. Unbalanced, delusional, old fashioned, unscientific.
Side question: Geoffrey Jackson as an accepted anointed one, does he not know when he and his other anointed GB members point fingers at all the people they point at and call loony for partaking, that they all have fingers pointing back at themselves? lol

i was looking at a list of methods used by abusive spouses to manipulate and control their "domain" and was struck by how similar the mentality is to the governing body's approach to the flock.
obviously not everything on the list applies as there is no sexual component in the congregation and there is no physical contact, but the similarities were shocking.. http://www.helpguide.org/articles/abuse/domestic-violence-and-abuse.htm.
abusers use a variety of tactics to manipulate you and exert their power:.
@MAD Irishman: Speak for yourself. Did any of the above happen to you? You have some female friends... What did they tell you? Everything? Or just what they felt you could take, comphrend, listen to, which doesn't sound like much and most obviously, you coud never grow up to be a Professional Therapist dealing with abuse victims. You are a squirt kid talking out your butt about things you do not know! So maybe sit in the corner, with your face to the wall and keep your thoughts on abusive mates with such strong similaries between the Governing Body and WT to yourself and listen to what the adults have to say on this issue.
I have often wanted to bring this analogy up, just as you have Zoos but I want to be happy every day and not think back to both my WT decades and an abusive mate of decades.
It IS so very much the same thing.

thank you all for your sincere encouragement during these last few weeks.
finally, she is at peace.
i was with her , holding her hand when she died.
What a comfort you were to your Mom. Right to the end. I am so sorry for your loss.

long time lurker here.
i'm a fifth gen born-in baptized jw.
to say i've been struggling with doubts is an understatement.
Heartsafire, Hello. It is so very nice to have you with us.
This is a scenario that hopefully gently wakes your husband up and 'honors' his headship at the same time.
What if you tell him the last time you were out, the householder mentioned that there is no 607 BCE in any literature, except WT literature. That it is a false date. Mention to your husband that you haven't looked up the date of when Babylon fell because what if the householder is correct? That means we are worshiping a false religion. What should we do? Do you think we could look it up together?
The world is so wondrous and life is too precious to waste as free labor to a world wide real estate developement company.
All the best to you in life's journey.

i joined this site 12 years ago and i revisited it yesterday to get some information on coc's status.. .
frankly saying, i've tried to be a complete ex-ex-jw so that ex-jw things would not drive my life mad.
due to my linguistic barrier of writing in a foreign language, 12 years ago, i could not but read and read and read this site.
You and your father and friends are doing an excellent job trying to help fellow Koreans wake up to WT lies. A big thank you from me. I am fading and staying under the radar for now.
PS AntiEntropy, Can you tell us if the JW brother's in Korea are still going to prison because of belonging to the Watch Tower (Real Estate and Redevelopement Company?) What a shock it will be for them to read any enlightening information that exposes Watch Tower lies. After they leave prison would you have any idea how their lives are? Is it hard for them to find work and have a successful life? Are there libraries in those prisons with computers? Is anyone 'allowed' to sign up and go as an outsider to those prisons and give 'community' information talks about JW's, as in real truth talks? Can your father donate some copies of his book to the prison libraries?
All the best to you and the exJW community in Korea. (Big hugs to you all).

i was coming out of sams club and i bumped into an elderly lady, probably late 70s early 80s.
(i wasnt about to ask a lady what her age is.
) one of the workers was pushing a cart full of rib-eye steaks.
I try not to dwell, too much, in who I could have become, with my looks, brains and personality, if I had not been a born-in Jdub and believed and stayed.
I can see and understand both sides of your story.

do you want this sound coming from your kid's bedrooms on sunday morning?
if not act now, play it tonite during dinner.. mongolia is getting to be a cool place, just watch out for their tendency to revere chinggis khan.. mongolian throat singer zorigoo (altain orgil).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el93mixaf-c. and follow up with:.
The 3rd Tuvan throat singing has my vote. Different and interesting. Earlier today I was listening to the always beautiful Claude Debussy's "The Girl With the Flaxen Hair".
It is a pleasure to hear and watch something so unique.
Thank you for sharing.

hi friends!.
i normally post over on /r/exjw but i've been reading more and more over here on this forum and found it incredibly supportive and informative.
i hope to participate in this community and become an active member.
Hahaha. Thank you for that bit of JDub Elder's displaying their brand of theocratic warfare. Someone tells you about horrific sexual abuse and you just can't remember? Disgusting creeps and they call themselves loving shepherds who innocent, kind hearted people are suppose to rely on and should go to as in finding shelter in a storm?
Forget them!
Who is going to step up and disfellowship these lying pieces of garbage?
They should be kicked out of human society for they are not fit human beings. Over 1000 abusers and no one calls the Police because the WT publishing house and worldwide real estate development company doesn't want any bad publicity!
Shame on them.

i emailed mr. stewart about jackson's testimony, asking if the video link would be visible to the public.. this was his prompt reply:.
thank you dianne for your interest.
the it people tell me that mr jackson will be on the screen for all to see and hear.regardsangus stewart.
OrphanCrow, Fantastic news! I was just sitting down to compose a note to the ARC but read the latest posts instead. Wow!
Geoffrey should get a taste of his own medicine otherwise it is not fair.
I agree if we 'only' hear his voice, later on YouTube, Jdubs will say it is all faked and lies.
