  Have You Ever Seen A Pedophile "Letter of Introduction"? What was written in your Hall?

  by BucketShopBill in

  how did the secretary introduce a sexual offender or a repeated pedophile to your kingdom hall?

  i saw two different "letters of introduction" that really depressed me because i knew both of the victims and their side of the story was not reflected.

  how were those letters you read and did they reflect anything or describe the conduct of the sexual predator?.

  Drinking at meetings / assemblies / conventions ... who's done it?

  for me .... 1).

  last district convention after having 'read up' (took some family to it).. 2).

  last 'meeting' to watch step-father-in-law finally get his and get disfellowshipped for molestation.. ...both were taking vodka shots in the bathroom.. i'm sure there's lots of good stories out there..

  'The Land of Decoration' by Grace McLeen

  i did a search for this author and book on this forum but couldn't find anything, so apologies if this has already been posted.

  i'm surprised it hasn't got more attention here.. this book was published last month in england - i heard about it on the radio where it said that the author is an ex-jehovah's witness.. i haven't been able to confirm this anywhere else except to say that the author grew up in a fundamentalist religion.

  on reading the book, while not explicitly stated, it's quite clear that the main character is a witness.. i highly recommend it - it's a novel about a child who creates a world in her room made out of various objects.

  The Last Days and the Bible's Responsibility to Prove Itself

  by freshcrepes in

  according to the watchtower's interpretation of the bible, we live in a time of unprecedented importance.

  the current system is likely to end in our lifetime, and as the end draws closer the need to for the world to accept the bible becomes more urgent.. we are also in a unique time in that billions of people have the risk of eternal destruction upon death.

  as i understand it, the billions who have and will die before armageddon will get an 'auto-resurrection' after armageddon (save a few in god's bad books) but those who die at armageddon are gone forever.

  i've been lurking on this forum for over a year, and i thought i'd say a quick hello.. .

  i was raised as a jehovah's witness and managed to endure past the encouragement that one receives from age 16 onwards about what is holding me back, and never got baptised.

  i figured that making one of the most important decisions of my life requires a lot more thought than people seemed to be giving it, and shouldn't be based on emotion as is quite common.. .
