Thanks! That is exactly what I was looking for.
Now I need to find a way to put this on a new sticker for the litter-ature they leave around in public spaces.
These numbers make me sick, imagine all the cases not reported?!
i have been searching the better part of this morning to find the thread in which somebody commented on 1006 known pedophiles which equals 3 elders at each jc and the totals on how many elders did not report to police (3000?
) and also how many known victims in australia.
i think they also broke it down to how many victims that would average each week/month for the last 60 + years.

so when i was at luch today, my wife was in full cult mode.
she started in on me about us not being able to hang with other witnesses and when i go to the meetings with her that i don't talk with nobody nor pay attention and act angry.
i told her that i don't want to fight and i have better things to do than argue.
Are there activities you 2 do together that will bring out her authentic personality? A hobby you both enjoyed in years past? Something she really would like to do but darn if it ain't on a meeting night or fs day? Plan for those days when you can and see when she is willing to skip out. The less time spent with jw's the better.
We have an unwritten/unspoken rule, we do not socialize with jw's or known jw apostates. Family, mutual non jw friends are all ok. We finally reached the point where it is absolutely pointless to discuss anything jw related and our home is much happier. No jw or so called apostate literature is ever lying about, the home is a neutral space. (I've never been one and he joined up quite a number of years ago now) We did not/do not know any jw's in our 'normal' life. I'm sure that makes it easier for us than when one mate leaves the borg. Wishing you peace.

re: discount on roku devices.
dear brothers:.
If the wt is acting as an affiliate marketer for roku they MUST disclose this information! It is law in the US.
Here is a blog explaining it, I have no knowledge of the blogger, just a quick google search because I remember when this hit the affiliate marketing community-

here's another-
i always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.
i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.
so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".
"
in joe134cd's recent thread, he mentioned the myth that apparently one should be able to fade or become inactive without repercussions from the community.
he mentioned about the 'dropping-you-like-a-hot-potato' phenomenon from social media sites, even when you've not told anybody why you're not coming any more.. i propose that it may be good to record such a phenomenon when it occurs so that this lie can be readily rebuffed.
i'm not out yet, but when i do, i shall be only to willing to record the response on social media sites.
Recording the bad behavior of jw's is always a good thing! Will it make any difference to a jw? no, naturally they will not look at it nor believe it.
What is does do- helps keep people from joining in the first place! When non jw's who may have the slightest interest Google jw's and find all this negative information about the jw's they quickly dismiss this org as an option in their own personal spiritual quest.
It gives credence to those of us who try tell others about the jw's when we are not/never been one ourselves. People often do not believe the stories we can tell from the boards, personal emails, books, etc.... when we can say, 'don't believe me look it up yourself' and there is a glut of negative pr from actual former members it gives much more weight to what we may have said.
My thanks again to all ex jw's who have told their story here, elsewhere and had the courage to go public or to the courts with their stories.
...is now on kindle with the paperback to follow soon.. thanks to you all for your contributions.
any questions, please pm me.. .
