  Child abuse

  by Jrjw in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i was talking to a jdub yesterday about child abuse in the organisation and this was his response:.

  "it has been known for kids to make stuff up.

  we have to trust the society on these things, also the legal process is there.

  JWs justify the children's death , due to the parents refusal on blood transfusion.

  Why wouldn't they justify or shift the blame on Child abuse ?

  Did You Go To Meetings in Very Inclement Weather?

  living in new england means having lots of snow and cold.

  elders were very reluctant to cancel or reschedule a meeting due to the weather.

  i lived 3 towns away from the kingdom hall and if it was icy and treacherous my vote would always be to cancel the meeting....and forget about rescheduling!.

  Why Cant Big or Small J control the weather to be pleasant during meetings, FS and conventions ?

  After all, its the most important Life saving work in this whole universe.Rain or storm or snow should only be between 10PM to 6AM, local time. All should be cleared at 7AM.

  Well...It's 2018 and still no ''Armageddon''

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1972 : we started studying with the jehovah's witnesses when my uncle became an elder and put fear into our family that armageddon was close.

  1974 : my mom, my brother and i were all baptized after all the convention talks and watchtower magazine articles that 1975 would likely end this system of things.

  1999 : being told that the year 2000 was going to mark the 6 thousand years of mans existence and that the 1000 year kingdom in the new paradisewould come in the year 2000.

  2. beliefs

  last week i celebrated my birthday.

  accepted well wishes from people near and far.

  had been happily accepting wishes from people since i quit the cult.. as a jw, (brainwashed ) belief that birthdays are evil was the stupidest belief i had in all my life.. when in, i had a hard time to explain to people that i don’t celebrate birthdays.

  Thanks nowwhat and LongHairGal.

  The more years go by, away from the cult, the more happy we become while getting adjusted to normal mentality.

  Jrjw, Sorry to hear that. Even a friend of mine who came out, had the same Situation.

  His son, who was raised in the cult for 15 years, now casually accuses him of ruining his childhood in the cult.

  Last week I celebrated my birthday. Accepted well wishes from people near and far. Had been happily accepting wishes from people since I quit the cult.

  As a JW, (brainwashed ) belief that Birthdays are evil was the stupidest belief I had in all my life.

  When in, I had a hard time to explain to people that I don’t celebrate birthdays. Some openly commented that I had gone nuts. Now I realize that they would have considered me the weirdest Wacko they had ever seen

  Actually what is a Birthday? The day we were born and we remember it every once in a year to recall your birthdate and to feel great that you have made it alive up until then.

  Our well-wishers wish us happy birthday on that date of the year, to make us feel special and we happily realize that people remember us. It gives a sense of warmth that we are remembered, because humans are social animals. What is evil in that?

  This whole Cock and bull story of the Watchtower about birthdays, that people were murdered and god views death day more important than birthdays …. What a ton of garbage thinking.

  How did you all consider Birthdays when you were in ?
