Pennsylvania abuse scandal

by neat blue dog in

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/14/us/catholic-priests-pennsylvania-church-jury.html.

this is the latest catholic scandal .

and all that jws in my area have been talking about gleefully.

It is a chance to do some trickery I say. Of course it is up to you if you want to do this. But I would make some comments after they bashed the Catholics and their faith.

Any religion that hides such terrible crimes, can't be the true religion right?

I wonder how many Catholics are saying "Well the pope -archbishop etc are just men and they make mistakes! Aren't children's well being, physical and mental, worth protecting? Why didn't they go to the police? Only a religion that is more interested in saving face and money, tells their followers not to take it to the authorities.

It would be great if they agreed or added something similar. Then hopefully soon, when the WT is taking to task in a public way, you can remind them they thought those things were terrible about another religion, why aren't they taking the same stance for the WT?

Might give it a try. I do stuff like that at work. Never know when the last straw will happen for a JW.

I've watched the movie but also saw the documentary on these people. To go to sleep when you are a teen and wake up in your 60's. Doing the Charleston because it was the last dance you learned so many years ago. Many stopped using the drug when the side affects dominated the results. But one lady was very feisty and kept taking it even if the tics and involuntary movements made it difficult to even comb her hair.

Yeah, much like the WT has done to us. Took our childhood away and replaced it with the living nightmare of doom. Only then when you are old, you wake up. I wish I was as feisty as that lady. But maybe one day I will be.

well today marks the beginning and biggest day of our protest at the london excel.. we believe it's a record number at around 100 exjws at the front door.. we spoke to lots of jw's and one young man studying who has quit after talking to us.

we've been approached privately by jw's who thanked us for coming and the security at the event treated us very well.. if anyone wants to see some clips they are available on my channel the great apostate.. thanks to all for the support and love..

Wonder how the Wt will spin this? Silent respectful large group of ex jw's with lists of pedophiles and web sites. Maybe they will send a special group out with cameras to record faces and web sites.

"Don't be persuaded by the lies of the Satan Driven Apostates! Like the the cautious snake, they silently wait to strike at the unwary! How much contempt they must have in their hearts for Jehovah! to stand in the same place as his loyal servants!"

Yeah, they got to come up with something.

Were You Close To Your Non JW Family?

by minimus in

i was thinking of how little i know about my father’s side of the family.

i recently inquired about ancestry.com and i’ve come to the realization that even the closest sides of my family via my father, are unknown to me .

what a shame that jehovah’s witnesses kept us apart.

days of future passed

The most presents we ever got, was from the worldly side. I felt guilty but glad to get them. I knew my mother's mom the best. My father's side was like a gypsy's family - always a little crazy and dangerous but we did get to see them on and off thru the years.

But, because of my dad saving my brother from the JW religion, he is actually like a distant relative. We had little contact with him since he was living a real life and acquiring friends so now, it's difficult to have a lot interaction in his life.

Everyone outside of the bubble of JWdom always had that feeling of "okay they may be nice, but I shouldn't get to close to them"

they changed it a year ago

by galaxie in

just spoke to an elder at the carts, whilst discussing the gb (faithful slave) he informs me they are nowpart of the 'domestics'?

anyone have any 'new light' on this?.

So anytime you happen to meet one of the magnificent eight, he's going to be just an average joe on the street. Wouldn't it be just funny if a clueless "JW" met one and went on and on how he's just one of the guys without the rest of the "Anointed?"

days of future passed

Gotta work the way out territory! Make others feel special by being a pioneer for a day!

Can you imagine the experiences?

I found a house that had a doormat in front. So when no one answered, I courageously put a tract under it!
I heard a dog inside the house that was barking. I don't know how I survived the owner's attempt at persecution
I prayed to find someone and Jehovah answered it. I saw a man who was walking and started my presentation. I got to say it all even tho he ran faster than me.

How were God’s true worshipers to determine virginity of pagan girls?

by Ireneus in

in the genocidal instructions supposedly given by god we find this interesting command: “now kill all the boys.

and kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.” (numbers 31:17, 18).

in the midst of killing and plundering, how were the israelites to determine whether each girl “has slept with a man” or not?.

days of future passed

An Israelite man could marry such a

woman, but only if she took certain measures.

So he could have sex with her but not have to marry her if she didn't take certain measures..........

Concerning the steps such a woman was required to take, the Bible states: “She

must now shave her head and attend to her nails, and remove the mantle of

her captivity from off her and dwell in your house and weep for her father and

her mother a whole lunar month; and after that you should have relations with

her, and you must take possession of her as your bride, and she must become

your wife.”—Deuteronomy 21:12, 13.

And yes, for sure he waited a month before having sex with her.

Just another WT excuse like the one they have for rapists. Women are supposed to remember that the rapists have feelings too

The future of young Witnesses

by john.prestor in

there's a convention being held near my hometown, and as i was passing by i saw a father taking his young children for a walk outside.

and i wondered what would happen to those children, what they would experience at school and in their adult life.

i wondered if they would grow up repressed and anxious and fearful and full of guilt like i did, although i was not raised a witness.

days of future passed

What can you say?

Almost all of those children, will indeed grow up fearful, depressed (just from being dragged to an hours long meeting) and feel like they don't belong. Throw in the regular amount of the parents own problems and you have what a lot of born ins have to deal with.

But the good news (not theirs of course) is the internet. Also those handy smartphones and tablets. Makes it more possible they will escape when still young.
