From the offical WT website ... new light?
by sacolton indo the witnesses believe that their religion is the only right one?anyone who is serious about his religion should think that it is the right one.
otherwise, why would he or she be involved in it?
christians are admonished: "make sure of all things; hold fast to what is fine.

I guess the witnesses don't believe the 23 thousand cases of child abuse that are in their legal department. That is why I just love Barbara Anderson, she had the smarts to take down the details and she surely did a great job. As well as a great risk to herself. You are a courageous lady Barbara. It is impossible to dismiss trail transcripts. However JW's are trained to be afraid of their own shadow so I doubt they would even investigate to see whether or not we are telling them the truth. If we can just save a few people from the Organization then we have accomplished a mission. Orangefatcat

Welcome to the board. Well it is nice to meet you. So glad you had the chutzpah to get up and just leave, that elder had some nerve let me tell you. If it had been me I would have told him if he didn't like that I was ministering to my sick sister then he could pay for a nurse to stay with her and someone to keep the baby for a week until she was able to come home. That would have shut up the idiot in two split seconds. What a stupid moron. Some of the elders are just so ignorant they have virtually no idea how to be kind and loving any more, its so cut and dry, why aren't you at the meetings. why aren't you in the service, why haven't you got your magazine studied and you've missed the last three book studies, Do you realize sister you are in serious trouble you can become spiritually shipwrecked. Are you still praying to Jehovah and are you doing personal study.... yada yada yada. Some of them think that they are judge jury and executioner all wrapped up in a happy meal without a surprise inside. orangefatcat

JW's and Others Take Heed - Child Abuse is Masked Behind Respectability
by flipper init's well been stated before when a pedophile has been found out molesting someone's child that friends and family can't believe how the allegedly "joe the respectable " friend , father, pastor, elder or ms , could possibly be molesting a child !
2 cases in point here in the sacramento, california area .
the first case a stepfather just committed murder-suicide on himself, his wife, and 2 small children .

I would like to tell you of someone near and dear to me who is hurting very much because of something her child son had done. When my friends had settled into their new home they invited the family that helped them move to their new home. All were enjoying a lovely evening of super and conversation. My friends have a son of 17yrs. and the guests had a small five yr. old son as well. My friends son took the small boy down stairs where no one else was. He took this small child into the washroom and molested him. The small boy let out a loud scream and was crying and crying and when he finally reached his mothers arms he said mommy mommy.........hurt me. He put his penis in my bum. Well needless to say this turned the evening into chaos. Nothing in my friends home would ever be the same ever again. Nor for that little boy and his family's life again. It destroyed two family's and friendships. The son was just a fraction off from his 18th birthday and was tried as a juvenile and was sent to a home and was under strict supervision at all times. For two years he stayed there. He has since left that place and I saw him twice in 10 years once when he was at my wedding and again at my husbands funeral. It devastated his parents because he can't bring himself to talk to them and he won't see them because they will not allow him to bring his male companion to my friends home. That is all they ask of him that he respect their wishes by not bringing his companion, and so he hasn't been to his parents home in years. They telephone him and leave messages but he doesn't respond. He does speak with his youngest sister though. As for the victim I am not sure what happened to him. I am hoping he got help and support. And a lot of love and understanding from his family; As for my friends they are lost as to know what to do with their son, they can't make him visit and they can't make him change his life style. So it appears there is a stalemate. my son keeps in touch with the son as they have been buds since they were 5 and 3 my son was floored when he realized his best friend was gay, but it is okay with my son, they still sometimes go out for lunch and talk on the phone and so he kind of keeps us in the know about him. Yes this family were JW's, but we all left at the same time the organization, they left for one reason and I left for my own reasons. It is too bad we can't turn back the clock of time and then we could have done things differently. Damn it sometimes just damn it.. Orangefatcat

Goodbye to JWD ... hello to JWN !
by Simon inas i announced some time ago, jwd as it is will not continue .... ... but .... it's clear from people's comments that they do like the site and many would like it or something else like it to continue.. one issue was the forum software that was self-developed and not really in a good state to hand-over to anyone but i've been working on that and can now reveal the first release of what will probably be called jwn (son of jwd):.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/.
it is still work-in-progress so not all features are enabled yet but it will allow you to browse the site in a similar way to this one and it is pointing at the same database (although because of the way the caching works, new posts made on this site won't appear immediately).

If Grace picks on you outlaw it is because she loves you, and while no discipline at the time is nice when it is thought over it works out for the best. So stop whining and be a good boy scout and take you lumps and go straight to bed with no desert for two days. Just think of it Outlaw like this, if granny wants to say goodbye everyday that is okay cause you know full well she will be back tomorrow. She is just funning with you. So stick in you spurs and mossy on down to the saloon for a cold and frothy beer. I'm buying. Orangefatcat

Look nothing suprises me any more when it comes to witnesses and I don't find it difficult to believe that there may be some instances where satanic rituals have come into play when their have been instances of sexual perversion and molestaion of children. Lets face it nothing but nothing can convince me that they are free from committing any kind of wicked deeds including satanic rites. As for secret tunnels and stuff like that I am not sure but there are plenty of secret rooms where no one frequents in alot of years. like the room Barb Anderson found a book about who really was the frist president of the society.

Star of Bethlehem = Satan?
by sacolton inhow many of you were taught the star of bethlehem was actually satan directing the magi to jesus so they could report back to king herod have jesus killed?.
when i first heard this from an elder, i started doubting their teachings.
why must they demonize everything that is beautiful in the bible?.

Your opinion?someone sent me this
by mouthy indispensationalist thinking - right or wrong?
all the fringe religious sects, and even some mainline christian churches, adopt a dispensationalist policy these days.
dispensationalists are people who believe that the gifts of the spirit, such as tongues, healing, prophecy etc all disappeared with the death of the apostles.

perhaps to you Elsewhere that is what the bible means but to those of us who beleive in it it is not bs. It is alive and is powerful and I am a little dissapointed in the way you expressed it.
I know we all have our own opinions Elsewhere but it can be said in a nicer way don't you think so?

that is why I won't go to the movies, they are so expensive, and the treats are equally expensive and with all the money you spend I would rather go out for a nice meal in a resturant and rent a movie or watch one on the internet.

PS I use to love going to the drive in but now I have no wheels hope to one day though and if that happens then I will go to the drive in from time to time. I bring my own treats and pillow and blanky.
