  Clergy Mandatory Reporting States

  by NowImFree in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i have a questions for everyone because i need information per a question from someone on another forum.

  this may have been brought up in another post but i haven't found it.

  my understanding is that the elders are told to report abuse to the authorities only when it is mandated by state law requiring clergy to report.

  The JW fall campaign about false religion

  by NowImFree in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i just wanted to find out if any of you have had strange experiences confronting jw family members about this brochure.

  i am asking because there have been two case of child molestation in my family both perpetrated by jw elder's sons and then covered up.

  we have also had a suicide in my family - my oldest brother killed himself after been disfellowshiped and shunned for years.

  Revelation chapter 9

  by NowImFree in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have been researching revelation 9 and have recently come to the realization that the jws are claiming in their own literature that they themselves are the locust horde coming out of the abyss spoken of in revelation 9 and they are also claiming that their king is abaddon the king of the abyss who they say is jesus.

  in their old literature they used to say the abaddon is satan and now they have done a flip flop and say he is jesus!

  this is just amazing to me that they would say this.

  To all active JWs or double life JWs

  by NowImFree in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of the previous posts made me wonder how many active jws post on this site and how many of you are only in because not wanting to lose your family and you are leading a double life and also how many of you are still active but questioning.

  please, all of you, i would like to hear your stories (of course not enough info to give away your identity) and why you are still in.

  i think a lot of us that are out would be interested.. nowimfree.

  Who's name are Christians persecuted for?

  by NowImFree in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have had the following realization before, but it just hit me again last night.

  i am reading this book called daughters of hope, it is about christians being persecuted around the world and their stories.

  in reading this book last night, it hit me again, all these people were being persecuted and killed for the name of jesus, not jehovah.

  What do you believe now?

  by NowImFree in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been out of the jws officially for over 3 years now, since disassociating.

  after researching the history of the organization and reading the bible (without) the watchtower, i am now a christian.

  i am just curious what happens to most ex-jws as far as their beliefs go, after they leave the organization.

  Death and Destruction

  by NowImFree in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm new to this board, only my second time posting, and i have been out of the organization officially since i disassociated about 3 years ago.

  i have seen so many bad things in my time as a witness, my disfellowshipped oldest brother committed suicide, prior to that he was terribly shunned by my family, my other brother and sister didn't talk to him for probably 10 years.

  two children in my family have been molested by the sons of jw elders in two u.s. states and in both cases the parents were told to not go to the police.
