  mr. flipper here.

  has anybody had results talking with believing or non believing relatives or friends about the molestation coverup?

  i talked with my mom who has been a witness for 55 years and she was quite concerned about the wrongness of what's going on and wanted me to send her the ap news story on it, which i did.

  Nope and my niece was one of their victims....her mom, dad, grandma, brothers, uncles, aunts side with the WT Corporation. They could care less about my nieces pain...it's all about Gods organization and how satan wants to destroy it and this is how god cleanses his organization by bringing Pedophiles to the light Although nothing is done about them because they repent and their victims are the spiritually weaks.

  The more time I spend with "worldly people" the more I realize...

  ... that they actually have more of a desire to get to knoww you then jehovah's witnesses.

  for years at the kingdom hall although i was an elder everyone "knew of me" but no one knew me.

  i realized that i never really had a friend who knew anything about me as a person or my background.

  “46. BIBLE TRANSLATION.... It is not necessary for Bible translators to know Hebrew and Greek. They do not necessarily have to be the translators with the most experience…”

  “50. CONFIDENTIALITY: It is important that translators keep their work confidential. Apart from the responsible brothers and those involved in the project, others (including marriage mates and other Bethelites) do not need to know (a) what is being translated and (b) who is translating a particular item. No publication should ever be associated with a particular person. This is especially so in the case of Bible translators. This confidentiality protects both the organization and the translators.”

  ... REALLY???!!! .... WOW ... I am so glad I am out and I NEVER LET MY CHILDREN NEAR THIS CULT AND RELATIVES STILL IN ...

  there wouldn't have been any good way to hear the news i suppose.

  it's just so strange to recall the conversation yesterday.

  my "still in" parents are with me and my inactive sister having a pleasant conversation.

  Something that I noticed when I read the New Testament by myself (without Watchtower CORPORATION glasses) is that if you read the gospels, acts of the apostles and the letters from the apostles, one don't end up with the idea of living in a paradise here on earth ... in the original old testament I think the word paradise appears a few times and always in different context than the Watchtower CORPORATION put it ...

  Stuff You Would Lose If You Went Back

  by Nosferatu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so we know all the things the wts prevents us from doing, but that's much, much different than the stuff we've grown accustomed to.. for those who have been out for a number of years, what kind of things would end up being abandoned if you suddenly started going back to the kingdom hall?

  you know, stuff that you now do on the nights you used to attend meetings, the things you own, the things you wear, etc..

  i have been lurking for a long time here and i think i'm prepared to speak about this experience openly.. .

  i was born in a jw family and i grew up as the average jehovah's witness does.

  even being very young, i helped with the territories and other work in the congregation.

  2. friends

  do you ever look back and cringe thinking of things you said or how you acted in the door-to-door ministry?.

  i recently had two jws at my door and posted about that here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/210246/1/jws-at-my-door.

  they were gracious and polite.
