  JW.org Email Service - Now I've Seen EVERYTHING!!!

  by jw07 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  maybe i'm late but i just discovered that elders now have an email service run on the jw.org domain name.. those emails might contain a treasure trove of very sensitive material regarding rape, molestation, pedophilia cases etc.. the cult keeps getting creepier and creepier.

  why would they do that in this day and age, lots of damning stuff in one place?.

  The real stuff is sent by word of mouth, and as has been shared before, hand written in the elder books, or sometimes just heard not to be repeated!

  years ago it seemed there were a few per year in a congregation.

  I think more are keeping their mouth shut, out of fear of losing family and friends. And many others, just walk away!

  With two questions, i recieved two lies from some cart witnesses.

  2. friends

  today i walked up to a group of cart witnesses and picked up a watchtower.

  i opened the watchtower up to the first page , and asked one of the witnesses if he had read it.. lie # 1... he said he read it.. i ask my second question to a woman witness sitting next to him , who by the way was hard to tear away from her cell phone..... "whats this watchtower about?

  , "........ lie # 2 ... she said she read it , but forgot "exactly" what the main points were about..

  50+ years in, countless wt's read. Most of them, two days later, I would be hard pressed to tell you what's in one!

  Now if I were heading out in fs, a quick once over, would have refreshed my memory.

  After reading a few million of them, faking it is easy too!

  For all still in.... fakers. Help.

  am i alone in this feeling?

  i wish i could muster the cojones needed to tell my husband "i want a divorce, move away, not be a jw anymore!".

  i find myself screaming these same words over and loud inside my mind, several times a day, and yet on the outside my actions could not be more opposed to these inner feelings.. sometimes i worry that this internal conflict will cause me to go crazy.

  Oh so often I want to just pack up and go!

  
  

  I love my wife, were very good together, but there is no chance she will leave the jw's behind, or even listen to anything being wrong with them!
  

  I am stuck pretending, and it's so hard. I hate pretending to be anything except who I am! And walking on eggshells!

  I want to get on with what's left of my life! I want to find out how real people live!

  Yet, here I am stuck!

  I hope you peace in whatever direction, you chose!

  What backlash could you expect by telling everyone you 'hate the Caleb cartoons'?

  by Esse quam videri in

  what kind of response could you expect if you let everyone in your congregation know that.

  "... i hate those stupid caleb cartoons.

  i hate his crazy mother.

  Just don't call them cartoons around the CO's. They are Anamated programs! That's enough to get you a gook toung lashing!

  ATTENTION: Angela Montgomery, the JW "Mommy Molester" found guilty this Friday afternoon of 6 counts of child rape

  by AndersonsInfo in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  andrea montgomery was found guilty as charged on each of the 6 charges of child rape of her biological son, alan von webb, the oldest boy of four children.

  today, many media people were there in the courtroom for the first time since the trial started.. the verdict came in about 3:30 p.m. which took time for the judge to read, etc., so i learned about it at 4 p.m. when the father of the four children, now young adults, called us.

  one of the children has down's syndrome, and it's difficult to imagine, but he also was raped since a child by his mother.

  Very well done!

  Sadly most jw's that watch Nightline, will just change the channel. Like the good sheeple have beenwarned about all this made up apostate stuff!

  On the good but bad side. It may bring others forward, and help save others from this nightmare!

  Who leaves first, the husband or wife?

  by snugglebunny in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when it comes to a simple matter of no longer believing the teachings of jw's, it appears to me that it's more common for the husband to make the first move to leave the religion.

  Talk to a layer before leaving, when you leave the house, you give up lots of rights, that you may regret. When you move out, it's easy for the remaining spouse to claim abandonedment, and the can of worms is not easy to unopen! Just because the spouse says go, dose not mean you have to!
