so in my lunch break at work today i walked in the park, just chilling out when a woman approached and offered me a leaflet.

didn't have to read it i knew straight away who she was.. me: my family are involved with jws.

the new world was supposed to come in the mid-seventies but it didn't.

A & E Cults-Barbara Anderson

2. child-abuse
16 years ago dateline's report on jw's and child abuse was aired may 28, 2002, a tuesday night and tonight a&e aired on may 29, 2018, tuesday night!.

i can't help but think how barbara has tirelessly worked to expose the child abuse issue within the watchtower/jw.org and is still working to not only expose the problem but to help change the laws in the usa to help protect children.

she has a wealth of information gathered for over 20 years on how the governing body protects the pedophile and not help the victims .

Material such as the film at the end of this years convention confirms that I was right to take my kids out the religion

it’s quite affirming to see the horrific material that they’re serving up at the convention this year.

aside from blatant homophobia, the scenes at the end of the convention that are discussed on another thread stoop to new levels of fear mongering.

it seems to occur to nobody inside the organisation that this kind of material could trigger fear, deprsssion, anxiety, stress.

in this midweek meeting the local needs was a booooring speech about the new brochure on donations.

the wt must think the jws are dying to know how to give their money.. well, it's not new this is disgusting but this time, after i ve been slightly hinting people here and there for a year about the 'abnormal request of money' and remind them that 'the faithful slave wasn't like that until some time ago', this time i saw their faces.

they did get bothered with that talk.

recently i talked to an elder about this type of witnessing.

i’ve known him for many years and he is a very honest upright man.

Cart Witnesses vs Faith Healing Church
by pale.emperor in
1. jw
2. experiences
today in liverpool the cart witnesses were in their usual speck in bold street holding out their wafer thin rags and books that they literally can't even give away.

but today the city centre was flooded with some sort of black church handing out their leaflets and little invitations to a "special event" this sunday.

i took a leaflet off them as they handed it to me and they were very smiley and cheerful.
