  Watchtower lack of empathy for victim children stunned Royal Commission

  by Esse quam videri in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the comments and facial expressions of judge peter mcclellan, the chair of the royal commission and angus stewart, though subdued, clearly showed their disbelief and disgust at the lack of compassion and empathy by the org and the elders and gb jackson when questioned.. this link, is a sobering look at the emotions people should feel at the abuse of their children.

  Protecting your child is a universal right, whether its a molestation or the threat of physical violence. A father, even a mother, will go ballistic and its understood. The world is full of people who seek to fill natural desires in unnatural ways. You can't always see it coming. Education is the answer. Teach kids how to resist and to NOT clam up. Give them courage. Make them know you are in their corner. That's what this dad did very effectively. I think that victim will actually fare better because his dad KNOWS it was wrong and was forced on him, he has no guilt, his daddy beat the shit out of the guy who touched him. I think a lot of how abused children react depends on the way they are treated by their family. If they read shame, they will feel amped up shame. Unconditional love from parents has to be the one true healthy therapy. I knew a witness who's son was molested and the ahole actually called his son a fag. The boy was 12. God I hate this religion..

  I like the response of Bill Maher about the Repubs and fundy's crapping their pants about the SCOTUS ruling for legalization of gay marriage. He asked, "don't they realize its not mandatory?"

  They don't have to get married to a gay person, live your lives Ted Cruz and the gang and keep your Jesus to yourself.

  Intro and Thoughts

  by ThinkerBelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been lurking on the board for almost a year now and i think i'm ready to come out of hiding (although, i'm so nervous as i type this).

  i'm not ready to share everything about my story, but the basics are that i'm a born-in, elder's kid, baptized as a teenager because i was tired of hearing people ask me "all your friends are baptized, when are you going to get baptized?

  ", married an unbeliever (was df, but came back shortly after) and we have two kids.

  You were DF'd? Married an UB? Interesting. So you took some time off for bad behavior like me. I didn't get DF'd, did the whole confession thing when I came back, what a mistake. I take it you already were a thinker. Congrats. stay clear of the Hall, better off without it. All the best.

  Tell them that you will study with your kids. Pick a book and do it, maybe the kids book. Let them answer questions other than the ones in the book. "Have you ever seen someone walk on water?" "How do you think he did that?" "People don't really come back from the dead. Have you ever seen "some dead relative" back? Its a story isn't it?

  You never know, might get them thinking.

  The origin of the name and masthead illustration of The Watchtower

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  thanks to the great "watchtower history" blog with historical information about the pre- and early bible students years, i became today aware of the origine of the name the watchtower and the masthead illustration in front of the old magazines.. in c.t.

  russell's younger days, his mother and other relatives died and were buried on the family plot at the allegheny cemetery.. it must have been a defining moment voor the young ctr.

  look at his inspiration to choose the name and masthead of his magazine.

  Give Jehovah Only 6 Months!

  by naazira in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  main question: what do you think would happen if jehovah's witnesses stayed away from the watchtower organization for 6 months?

  instead of "us" staying in their world for 6 months.

  personally, i think they would be like the amish youth on rumspringa- many to never return.. i came across a thread here, where the poster said that their parents told them to give jehovah's org 6 months.

  Ray Franz was an Idiot

  by vinman in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  ray franz who gave us insight into the gb due to a crisis of conscience was an absolute moron, with absolutely no critical thinking skills whatsoever like all of us have.

  i mean, to have a conscience based on some magic man in the sky.. how stupid can you be?

  in search of christian freedom?

  Why doesn't Jesus appear to you ?

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the new testament tells us stories about miracles, people speaking in different languages by the holy spirit, jesus appearing to many of his disciples.

  but, why this was only a first century phenomenom???.

  here some reasoning: http://godisimaginary.com/i15.htm.

  My guess it has to do with Christians not adopting robes and sandals as mandatory outer wear.
