  Different Types Of Abuse

  by Amanda Moore in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  there is alot if press here in australua on the royal commission about child abuse in the jw faith.

  however that is just one type of abuse, abuse can be physical or mental, we tend to forget about the various types of mental abuse in the jw faith.

  my story is not unique and apologies for grammar etc.. my father and mother emigrated to perth australia many decades ago when i was very young.

  In Case Study 54 earlier this year Justice McClellan and the ARC explained to Watchtower and the JWs that their mishandling of child abuse amounted to more abuse of the victim. This secondary abuse is carried out under strict instructions from the GB and includes shunning, theocratic warfare, denying of wrongdoing, refusal to apologise, and the victimising of victims and tbeir family. It would not surprise me that the secondary abuse is also included in the redress scheme.

  Jehovah intervened in Russia

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i saw the recent video that the borg put out about the trial in russia and how pleased the russian brothers were that a member of the gibbering booty, brother sanders, came to support them for six days.

  well, there was a one-day delay in the trial which enabled the russian witnesses to have the memorial in their kingdom halls.

  well, brother sanders was very quick to point out that it was very evident that jehovah intervened to enable the brothers to celebrate the memorial.

  Jehovah did intervene. Kingdom hall maintenance is expensive. GB member Stephen Lett reminded everyone this when he said: "When doing the math we found that the amount of money going out exceeds the amount of money coming in." Evidently jehovah heard the prayers of he GB and have relieved the GB of the burden of kingdom hall maintenance in Russia.

  Richard Oliver
  From WatchtowerDocuments.org
  Incredulously, by mistake, one California court actually sent me court-sealed settlement papers which revealed that the Watch Tower paid out $781,250 to one victim. Multiplying this figure by 16 victims, the total was an even $12,500,000.

  I actually asked Ms Anderson, the owner of Watchtower Documents, about this and she informed me she had purchased court documents of cases for her book she was writing and this is how the court-sealed settlement papers were sent to her.

  Naturally I used my real name when talking to her.

  JWs: We don't respond to false accusations.

  RUSSIA: Jehovah's Witnesses are extremists.

  JWs: Here's our extensive response both on our website, by a worldwide letter campaign, presentations on our TV Broadcasting program by governing body members, in our magazines, in press releases, in all these written volumes of response, and in our media and TV interviews.

  here's the short article found in the "did you know?

  Imagine a loyal JW couple both 30 years of age deciding to have no children because "the end is so close" but put Watchtower's kingdom interests first.

  1938 - 2017 = 109 years (died and gone to heaven according to JW beliefs whereupon they learnt that all the teachings of the Watchtower were wrong and the end was not going to come anytime soon.)

  1974 - 2017 = 73 years (taken off the district work because of changes and sent out into the territory where he served as the cobe elder until 70 when he was removed because he was too old. They now live in a bungalow at the back of someone's house.)

  1987 - 2017 = 60 years (spent the past 25 years at bethel and then laid off with the downsizing. Too young for pension. No qualifications. No assets. No children.

  "[Jehovah's] Witnesses, visited us from France and left us the books Government and Deliverance, published by the Watch Tower Society."

  Watchtower's "Government" book by Rutherford is interesting in that the very thing the book criticizes the Soviet government on the Watchtower itself has become.

  Is it just me or is this weeks CLAM more "cultish" than usual?

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  maybe it was my mood, but last night the meeting seemed really over the top cultish.. mainly the latter portion that just focused on presentation videos which always seem creepy to me anyway.. then the local needs was pre-empted by a video all about ldc which seemed completely pointless.

  (on a side note my wife knew a couple of different people in it).

  the congregation "bible" study which dealt with the ever changing cover of the watchtower magazine.
