judge orders jehovah’s witnesses to turn over internal documents related to childhood sexual abuse.

Thanks to Barbara.

it’s been a while since i posted, but for those who remember, i came on here to get some information about jehovah’s witnesses because i have a nephew who was getting engaged to a girl who was a jehovah’s witness and, along with some other sites, i was recommended this one.. since then we’ve been busy with passover and jehovah’s witnesses have had something they call the memorial of christ’s death (i believe i have that right).
this clashing of the two observances apparently did more for this girl than anything else i ever saw in our months of conversations with her.. respectfully, jews do not proselytize.
these are people who, of their own desire, “join the tribe” after some years of study and practice--something this girl has just begun to do.

Welcome back!
The few who´ve posted by no means represent "most" on this forum. I find what you say about cultures complexity, history, scripture, philosophies and values to be, fascinating and refreshing.
Sorry that your interesting story within your expanding family meets with such suspicion and vitriol by a few here. It´s a fascinating turn of events for everyone including the JWs involved.
PLEASE share MORE of your explanations and viewpoints .

" Keep your friends close...keep your enemies even closer."
Lifelong, recorded knowledge of private and personal details of both friends and enemies underscores the wisdom that "Knowledge is power".
Sociopaths can destroy or reward people through what inside knowledge they care to reveal or conceal
i am interested in getting a list of lies that the watchtower has said or wrote in the past that could actually be proven to be as such, or, for the very least, deliberately misleading.

Thanks Petra, Atlantis & Co. so very much - heroes of freedom.
Might we use this thread to expand on your contacts important points ..
#2 "...retains information on ...former members with consent."
Did members from 70´s and 80´s ever give consent? if so, how?
#3 "WT retains more data about former members than on existing members. ....without knowledge or consent ...they intend to retain this data."
indicates WT is very concerned about the effects apostates are having on their social credibility and bottom line profits (hooray)
I think THIS is their greatest liability - having documents on file like judicial records, character assessments, molestation complaints, homosexual witch hunts, interference in family relationships, etc. - that are freely shared among themselves and serve no legal purpose other than to label (gay,apostate, pervert, brazen etc.) and persecute those who exercise their lawful Freedoms .
Apostasy, sexuality, association, expression are human rights, not a crimes and this fact needs to be laid bare before theocracies of any stripe in democratic societies.
WT could pay a huge price for violation of rights in liberal countries.

it's my first time on this site though i am no stranger in the ex-jw community.
i come to you now asking for your assistance in what to present to the dean of students at my university.. why am i meeting with dean of students, you may ask?
because today, while innocently finishing an assignment in the school library, i happened to look out the window and see the jws with their stupid little cart.
Sarabethy -
Good on you for enlightening the dean.(another heroic gesture)
And good on the campus for championing free speech - something the JWs neither preach nor practice. .
Thanks for studying to clean up this wonderful world - and have fun kicking one crappy cult to the curb while you do it.

What an absolutely brilliant idea.
and that recorded would would be worth a ton of the mockery and ridicule the "smugity" lying hypocrites so richly deserve.

Vincent Tool (Australia) on record that there is no shunning.
Jackson at ARC - presumptuous to claiming GB to be the sole channel to the divine - their favourite current and full time lie is the exact opposte stance and hence the need for total, absolute and blind obedience and loyalty from the rank and file.
Lying about the significance of the numbers of the annointed going down now up.

You made my day and are now my hero
My humble blessings are upon you for doing the right, brave and proper thing in support of your righteous indignation.
Righteous indignation is typically a reactive emotion of anger over mistreatment, insult, or malice of another. It is akin to what is called the sense of injustice. In some Christian doctrines, righteous anger is considered the only form of anger which is not sinful..(Wiki)
Mistreatment, insult and malice are the stock in trade WT/JW treatment of any who no longer respond to their propaganda of fear, obligation, guilt and . We are legion and with you 100%!
Also congratulations for making it to university, and claiming this place of education, reason, and research as ..."..what I consider my territory." Shocking indeed seeing a familiar, abusive cult hawking their bronze age beliefs on campus.
Perhaps before your meeting with the dean, you could collaborate with students from journalism and sociology etc. etc. to record another encounter which would document the basis ignorance, lying and deception of WT claims to benefit others through charity.
Take your time,prepare well and perhaps your uni can set some precedent for vetting the conduct of religious abusers who expect a free hunt on campus rather than outside on the sidewalk where they belong.
Please continue to share with all us here.
