gossiping about a pedophile GRRRRRRR

a publisher can get disfellowshipped for gossiping about a pedophile.

a pedophile molested his own child but showed the elders that he was repentant and still lived with his family.

this child had told your child about her dad molesting her.

South East England - love of the greater number cooling off

hi everyone, in the congregation i grew up in, it was very cold and unloving.

circuit overseers would come and go, they would give counsel and nothing changed.

at one time even the do came at the same time as the co and gave counsel to 'widen out'.

HAVE YOU TRULY LEFT THE WITTNESSES OR ARE YOU STILL ACTING LIKE ONE
by nightwarrior in

2. child-abuse
its been a while since i last posted on the site.. as a wittness i was governed by what i said was supposed to do and even act towards other human beings,my sinful life was ripped away by people using pages of the bible, showing what god wanted from me as a person,unfortunately being scriptually replaced by a character that i never realized, nor truth be told acceptable to jehovah god, but under the guise of a christian, we accept all that is brainwashed into our silly minds.

accepting all and everything without question,therfore this is known as being brainwashed, without you even knowing it iike so many within the congregation, was forced to adapt to a hidden manifesto which was be seen but not heard.

complain about any of the elders and you will be disfellowshiped, most of my time i was serving jehovah with a muzzle on my face which would only allow me to speak if i agreed with the elders i wasnot blind but what i saw and experienced as a wittness left me cold.

ok, i've been df'd for 5 months or so now and i'm getting ready to write a letter requesting reinstatment.

i'm assuming something like "i know jah has already forgiven me so now i"m asking you imperfect sinners to forgive me my sins and give me my life back please".

wouldn't work.
