Dont ...he’s still getting over meeting the Irish Prime Minister and his boyfriend, the shock would ki...actually you know what , go ahead...

100,000% accurate. i never put any bumper stickers on my car because i used to go to the drive-in with my friends and drink and i would inevitably run into people who know my family and to make it worse it’s a small town so you basically couldn’t take a shit without everyone knowing what color it was. i found out so…

Thank you for your post. I was raised going to JW church too. I never believed it for a second and that broke my mother’s heart. She was abandoned as a child by both parents, and then my father married her and took her away from her indigenous family. The witnesses became her real family, her brothers and sisters. …

Mmmm.... butt blossoms <3

Do I have to post SHATNER! doing Rocketman, because I will do it. Don’t dare me. I WILL DO IT

....being disfellowshipped for consensual sex between adults is a pretty common occurrence so they fact that they’d use such a light touch with accused child rapists is beyond the pale.

Holy crap, that’s disturbing.  Just when you think the morons Trump chooses can’t get any stupider or more venal, there it is.

My aunt is a witness as they are called. I am still trying to figure out what it is they witnessed.

You know who else used a tower to control people...

Regular-Sized Rocketman.
Pocket-Rocketman.

I grew up in a basement apartment. The daughter of the couple above us was my mom’s age, and her kids were our age. She had married a man who then decided to become JW, which basically made his family JW.

I have a friend who was raised as a JW and is still very into it. The amount of control they exercise over their congregation is...excessive. When I first met her, she was 45 and had never been kissed, never been on a date - she could only date other JW but because we live in a rural area, there was simply nobody to…

Bergen County born and raised here. North Bergen has never been a well healed area of the state. Did you not read that they made all of the costumes out of recycled materials? And unless things have changed drastically in high schools since I was a youth, theater and arts are notoriously underfunded in even the best…

Little Rocketman!

Having been raised JW when I was young I believe this because it was always whispered about. I was lucky that I was never sexually abused, but the mental abuse was bad enough for me to scream the f word to some that came to our door a couple months ago. My husband was being very nice to them. My husband tried to…

Having grown up in the faith, this doesn’t surprise me. I’m sure most JW’s stomachs would turn at the thought of sexual abuse, but they don’t seem to realize that by supporting a system with zero accountability, they enable it.

Try “right there”. North Bergen isn’t exactly a rich community; it’s no ghetto, but it’s mostly working-class and Hispanic. If anything, that makes it even more impressive that they pulled this off, especially given how DIY everything was.

North Bergen is a B district finanical group, with A being the poorest and J being the richest.

I’m disgusted, this money could have been spent on football.

In fairness, it only says that he “turned his state’s economy around.”  It doesn’t say from which direction.
