  DATELINE VIEWERS BEWARE!!!

  to all those who watched the dateline episode regarding the handling of child molestation incidents by the jehovahs witnesses:.

  your television is now demonized as it received signals from satan himself.

  you must get rid of it immediately.

  i just spoke on the phone to amazing (jim whitney) who is in intensive care in a chicago hospital.

  on monday he had a major heart attack, had a stint put in an artery to unblock things and may have bypass surgery.

  he's comfortable enough right now, but of course will have to make some big lifestyle changes.

  i joined this group in february, however had been surfing the various websites that expose the witnesses' lies since being disfellowshipped last august.

  the support from those sites and this board have been invaluable.

  today, i no longer have the fear of having left the organization.

  Jim Whitney in Intensive Care-heart attack

  by Dogpatch in

  2. friends

  i just got off the phone with jim whitney and he is still in intensive care, due to be released to home by the weekend.

  the poor guy did not have insurance, so he is going to be busy working on that angle as well, since he had a major heart attack, and need probably a quad bypass.

  the doctor told him "this is as bad as it gets.

  Wakeup Call for Sister-in-law

  by Carmel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last evening my cell phone rang and it was a sister-in-law of mine who had left her jw husband (one of my older brothers) because he was molesting their daughters and the elders blamed her for not being an adequate wife.

  she left and was df'd for it.

  anyway, we have had correspondence for the past four or five years but never did we talk about the "private" matters.

  This is the best thing I could ever have read... That someone because of the Dateline show is able to step out of the guilt prison the JW religion puts people in, is the best news in the world to me.

  I hope Bill, Barb and the others read this so that they will know what their efforts have produced. They are not only helping victims but families of victims.

  Carmel, maybe you should email Bill and share this with him, I'm sure it would make his day or even better maybe you could get your sister- in-law to send him a "Thank You" email.

  for those who may feel discourage by comments by jws about the program ... don't despair ..... think back!.

  how did you respond publicly when you saw negative information when you were in the borg?

  how did you respond privately to yourself when you saw it .
