I just watch the Montel Williams show on "THE CATHOLIC CHURCH: SCANDAL AND SIN". "It’s a scandal shrouded in secrecy that many believe the Roman Catholic Church has enabled…meet alleged victims of sexual abuse and hear the church’s response." I just sent him a response in regards to the fact that the Catholic Church is not the only religion that has covered sexual abuse in its ranks. I also sent him the link to Silent Lambs. Anyone else interested in sending him an email his web site is:

The ones that set these standards are a bunch of old farts that most of them never had children themselves. At the conventions I would walk my sons around the corridors to keep them quiet and have all those idiot attendants comming up to you with their stupid "Please be seated" signs. What a bunch of BS. I am sure glad i am free of all that crap.

If the Catholic church, with about a billion membership, is open for criticism, What makes you think that the WT has more clout?? I am sure its either a matter of rescheduling or the network doesn't think it will bring in much interest.

This is why the public should be made aware of the cruel, unchristian shunning policy of the Jdubs. If the public was aware of this fact they would not see the Jdubs as a harmless religion but as a dangerious cult.

i really miss the chesse danish's and the choclote pudding, and hoggie sandwichs, and people spilling their cokes behind me and it flowing into my kids blankets.. it was not comendable for the gb to do away with our food, dam them all them anyway, hell they were making good money on our eating their food, only a few of the items tasted any good, the rest tasted like goat shit.

I can hardly blame the kids from acting up as the Jdub meetings can be as exciting as watching "paint dry". I remember when I was little my mom would let me go to sleep on the floor. As a matter of fact, even to this day it’s a good place to catch a few zzzz. When my children were small, contrary to common practice, I would take them to the back room and let them play or fall asleep. I figured you couldn't force them to listen and you wouldn't make them listen by using negative reinforcements.

Most Jdubs that defend the WT actions have not being in long enough to remember the way the society "Demonized" the UN. As a youth growing up the book "Babylon the Great Ha Fallen" impressed on my young mind how the "Great Harlot" false religion, was prostituting herself and riding the back of the "Scarlet Colored Wild Beast" the UN. Since 1992 till just last October, the WTBTS was riding on top of that "Scarlet Colored Wild Beast" also. So any Jdub that deny the society ever said this is either fooling themselves or are lairs and regardless of what we think, the evidence points to the WT as being a bunch of hypocritical liars.

As far as I am concerned the CO and DO are nothing but a bunch of cheep free loading bastards that if they had to, could never hold down a day to day job, like the rest of us suckers have to do.

"Making real friends and being a JW" is a contradiction in terms. To be a Jdub youth you either have to be 2 faced or a big suck hole. Either way the WT are losing a lot of their future membership. In a few years as all the old ones start dropping off, they won't have the money rolling in. I am sure they the WT can see the writing on the wall.

for some time now i have been reading numerous indivisual life stories relating to their experience with the jws and one obscure ( or at least not directly elabourated upon) detail keeps popping up.. it would appear that whenever a person leaves the organisation by da/df/ia that people take it upon themselves to start spreading "nasty rumours" about the person in question.. it always seems that so much of these said rumours that were frabicated and then propagated throught the local jw community that the poaster almost never seems to have time to goint any detail about what exactaly was said about them in detail.. i would like to invite the posters here on the board to shed some light on their experience regarding their reputation after leaving the kh.. it would appear that once disfelloshipped that the jw community must make it abundantly clear that the person is of absolutely deplorable character inorder to justify their inhumane treatment of the df'ed indivisual.
saying that there is no honourable way to leave the oragnisation this seems to be rather common place.. i am also informed that even if the df'ed person were permitted to return that their reputation within the jw community would never be the same due to the tarnishing of their name and the stigma attached to being df'ed.. i may not be entirely too shure about this one but it would seem that if while still in good standing should the indvisual to become "publicly reproved" or "marked" that this would also be an invitation for the local jw community to begin the same process of defaming the character of the person in question.. would anyone care to discuss your personall experience relating to any private information which became public knowledge after you left the jw community or any half truths that were deileberately propagated to tarnish your name in the vacinity of the kh.
and even worse yet blant lies that were imagined and promoted about you inorder to permanatently damage your character.. i would also be interested in who exactly you think were responsible for the iniation of these rumours.. was it the elders?
I am not sure of what they spread about me but I was later reinstated and there was a number of Jdubs that would treat me differently. The bunch of hypocritical bastards.
