Does sex abuse really run in families?
by neverthere inmy son was sexually abused by his father, i stopped all visitation by the time my son was 5 (the very same day i found out, he never saw my son again).
my ex was raised jw, his brother sexually abused his daughter and spent alot of time with my ex when he was growing up (they are quite a bit apart in age, but used to take him on trips with his family).. we are going through adoption now, my ex has yet to be informed of this, but i am soo afraid that when it all comes out that my ex will contest.
time is drawing nearer and i am worried about the damage that my ex did to my son.

Explain your politics
by logansrun inpolitical threads seem to be the one which generate the most vitriolic arguments on this board.
please stay away from arguments in this thread.. i'd like to know what type of political philosophy you enodorse, not just some results from an on-line test.
furthermore, i'd like to know why you feel the way you do and what criticisms could be laid against your philosophy.

it is "heaven" and "earth" together which constitute the "world" % FDS
by garybuss inthere is first here given the scriptural definition of "world", and then the proof that satan controls the world, and why a change of world control must shortly come to pass.
"world" means the peopies of earth organized into forms of government, under the supervision of an invisible power or overlord.
in the bible the word "heaven" is used to represent the invisible part of that rule, while "earth", as there used, means the visible power that rules, and it is "heaven" and "earth" together which constitute the "world".

What Does the WBTS Really Offer?
by Perry inthe wtbs offers solutions.
....eagerly anticipate the global bloodletting of billions of people (the wbts will grind your axe for you so you don't get in trouble with the law), become a prince (in your own mind), be a teacher instead of a student, wear nice clothes instead of janitor work clothes, imagine yourself very intelligent without ever getting an education, feel cock sure that god will vindicate his holy name (and yours along with it.
in other words, show all the people who screwed you over that you really were the smart one), feel very important because even though god has hidden these things from men, he chose to reveal them to you, have your choice of really big expensive houses after the big a hits, save your money by not wasting it on charities, be holy even as jehovah your god is holy, have instant friends without having to go to the trouble of getting to really know them, feel sorry for the misguided (intact) families that attend church, suffer for righteousness sake thereby guaranteeing god's favor, memorize the correct verbage for counseling others (meetings and field serevice), stop 'sighing and groaning' because the wbts will wipe your bum for you, defeat the devil by being on the winning side of a cosmic power struggle, show your loyalty by shunning family members that don't agree with you, possibly meet governing body members at conventions (christ's brothers), eat fresh warm krispy kreme donuts after desparately trying to save lives for 45 minutes on saturday morning, become a bible scholar, save expensive tuition costs by getting the equivalent of a college degree by reading the awake, and last but not least :
