Look at you PE all trying to change yourself into an angel of light. They know who you are Devil, get behind them. Lol, isn't all so stupid? It's all your fault that they have to do this awful shunning thing. How dare you write those articles in the cult literature that interpret scripture a certain way? To top it off, you wrote them such that if people don't follow your words to shun then they might get shunned too. Evil man, just evil. It's clearly all your fault.

Sorry man, you probably knew the outcome but it still stings on a level. They are so brainwashed and they just can't see it. I couldn't, and neither could most of us, when we were in.

I too enjoyed your comment on being Christ-like. You handled it well. They want you to see them, feel shame, and slink away. You stood up like an adult human and made them act like children.

Glad to hear it Stuck! I should probably email her but I've been so busy. Too much going on in August with my own exjw stuff. I miss her here too. I know what it's like to need to just work on life and it's tough to dedicate energy to that and exjw stuff at the same time.

Why aren't the JDubs receiving more bad publicity concerning the abuse cover-ups?

by Sour Grapes in

i know that the jdubs think that they are the center of the universe and in actuality, no one except ex-jdubs gives a rats ass about these religious crazies.

my question is i read that as a percentage of pedophiles per members, that the percentage is larger in the watchtower company than in the catholic church.

i would think that would catch someones attention in the media and make a good story.. what really pisses me off is the watchtower cult is gloating about all of the negative press the catholics are receiving concerning pedophiles not even knowing that the jdubs have thousands of sexual abuse cases that have been covered over.

Excellent point Steve. It's a sad reality of this poster and those that came before him. Just emotionless robots that value the cult over the most vulnerable in it, reflective of the attitude from the GB on down, and the god they worship.

Why dodge the question? It's the predictable pattern of those mentioned above. Come in, pick at anything, change the subject, obfuscate, etc. So predictable.

@Doubter - let's say 500 kids per country were molested and the prevailing method of handling it, whether in writing or not, was to discourage members from going to the police and to handle it congregationally. Lets say 100. Whatever. How do you feel about it?

I'm not sure what you doubt. You're clearly a WT drone ala Richard Oliver, Fisherman, John Davis, etc. Tell us, what do you think of Jehovah's Witnesses?

Well, Jehovah's Witnesses do have a history of silencing anyone they can, hiding the little men behind curtains, so what's one reporter. They can certainly turn her away if they want. It doesn't look good given the subject matter, but they are who we thought them to be. It's not exactly shocking.

Young people becoming atheist

by Jayk in

this article speaks to me.

it talks about kids who tend to become atheist when they're older if they have parents who "talk the talk but dont walk the walk".

i'm not calling myself a atheist i consider myself more agnostic.

When you ask someone if they're in a cult and they threaten to never speak to you again if you ever bring up the subject again, they're tipping you off to the fact that they're in a cult.

Well, that makes sense. If it wasn't my parents who were hypocrites, it was the cult of JWs. It was learning that I had been told so many lies by the cult, including my parents, that I started looking at the Bible itself. After all, it was the basis for everything I had believed. I soon realized that it wasn't credible either. So indirectly my parents had something to do with it, but the reality is that faith is something you have to manufacture and put onto something else, whether that be your parents, religious ideologies, a book, a particular deity, etc.
