  Dutch House of Representatives formally requests the government to start an investigation re. JW child abuse

  by Anders Andersen in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  today the dutch house of representatives unanimously voted to petition the government to start an investigation into jw child abuse issues.. the request from the house of reps. came after jw nl refused to listen to repeated and serious requests from the government to start an independent investigation themselves.. now it's up to the government to either accept the request by the house of reps. and start an investigation, or refuse to do so and explain to the house why.

  it appears the minister of justice is not unwilling to start an investigation though.... collection of dutch news items here.

  Doubter said,

  ''If 300 people accused me of dealing illegal drugs because I am a doctor who writes prescriptions to sick people, that doesn’t mean I’m dealing illegal drugs.''

  No, of course it wouldn't mean that you were actually dealing illegal drugs. That would be a bit silly wouldn't it.

  However I have to say that if 300 different people accused my doctor of dealing illegal drugs then at the very least I'd want somebody, preferably the police in this analogy, to do some kind of investigation. Wouldn't anybody?

  Are we losing our way a bit at JWN?

  by nicolaou in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  firstly, i want to be crystal clear how grateful i am for jwn.

  it's been my place of support for over seventeen years and it's the first online space i direct anyone to if they are taking steps out of the cult.

  i am not bashing jwn - i love this place and appreciate the hard work and expense simon puts in to keep it going.

  Cobweb,

  ''When i come to this forum i select hottest and latest to structure what i see. This means that Politics gets included and tends to dominate which i don't like. I don't know if there is anything i can do about that - maybe someone could make a suggestion.''

  Me too. And I don't sign in unless I want to post. So I rarely get to see/read anything under 'members only.'

  Any new visitors are unlikely to sign up and sign in straight away so are also unlikely to read anything members only. Maybe get anything political related moved to members only. But I don't know how practical that would be.

  Not posted for a year because mum died did not want blood.

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i posted here weekly until a year ago when my mum died of a mild form of lukemia which is easy to treat with 2 blood tranfusions a month.

  you can live to 100 with treatment, but no my mum chose to die a faithful witness after 2 years of chemo and hell for her family and doctors.

  her chemo doctor cried when she only had weeks left to live knowing that she could be saved with one bag of blood!

  I had the same scenario when the CO came to visit me when I was just turning up and never participating.

  I just told him the truth. I told him I don't believe it any more but only go for family.

  I certainly wasn't going to lie.

  He was fine about it and said it was good that at least I still go to meetings with wife and kids.

  End of.

  The political left, perfectly captured in one short video exchange

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  this perfectly encapsulates the behaviour and opinions of the left and dave rubin nails it - "you're not oppressed, you're entitled".. lots of of shouting and claims of being denied rights to speak but nothing really to say when given a mic, just endless shouting and baseless confused claims about 'free speech'.

  hey, some blm bitches try and get in on it too because, why not.. constant "i have a question, i have a question ..." as though she isn't allowed to ask it when the reality is she really has nothing to say, she just wants to stop other people being able to talk.

  what a stupid cunt.. sadly, the left is indoctrinating a generation to think that *this* is what political discourse and "taking a stand" is.

  JWs and the Holocaust

  by Stealth in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the jws always like to highlight their persecution during the holocaust.

  while true, the chart below showing numbers of victims for jw was the lowest of all persecuted groups.

  even lower than spanish republicans.. im guessing there have been more victims due to the wt blood policy.

  Lloyd’s new book

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i see there has already been discussion over lloyd’s new book how to leave the jehovah's witnesses.

  this includes discussion around his personality, motives and financial gains.

  i have written a foreword for this book, because it is an important topic that has not been covered in such a complete format before.

  Wow! I must be one of the onlypeople on this forum who does not know 'Lloyd Evans'.

  So many people here must have met him and spent many hours getting to know him personally.

  I assume they must be very close to him to know so intimately his personal circumstances, his personal finances and his innermost thoughts.

  I bow to your superior knowledge on this and value your informed opinions.
