  What shocking stories did you ever hear about?

  by Truthexplorer in

  as a pre-awakened ms, i heard of 2 stories that i found very shocking at the time.

  please keep in mind, i was following wt blindly at the time and was part of what i thought was the true religion.

  the first shocking story was when i attended a large meeting for elders and ministerial servants covering our circuit.

  An opposing husband in Hong Kong / Taiwan (can't remember which) torched a Kingdom Hall during a meeting, killing around 20 JW's. This happened in the early 90's

  today has been a horrible day.

  what began as a day of joy finding out that one of my lifelong friends had her baby, turned into a nightmare when her brother called me to let me know she had passed away after birth.

  i was in shock and didn't ask how.

  Most Poorly Written JW Book

  by JW_Rogue in

  2. experiences

  so i was thinking the other day that the wt corp has produced thousands of books over the years.

  although the writers have changed the style is almost always the same.

  however, some books are just worse than others.

  A sincere message to those from the organisation monitoring my posts....

  so, i know there are some from my congregation or from bethel who monitor my posts..... maybe you're looking for something to catch me out?.

  just a question: rather than trying to find fault with me, have you stopped and looked into the issues or facts about the organisation that caused me to come to a place like this forum??.

  facts are there for anyone to find nowadays....one just has to be willing to pull their head out of the sand.....

  In what way is following man-made rules valid? In what way is turning a blind eye to sexual abuse valid?

  For those monitoring & stalking stuckinarut2, this is for you:

  http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2015/dec/01/jehovahs-witnesses-fostered-distrust-of-secular-authority-royal-commission-counsel

  A damning submission to the royal commission on child sexual abuse has recommended 77 adverse findings against the Jehovah’s Witnesses in Australia.
  It was open to the commission to find the church fostered distrust of secular authorities and its response to child sexual abuse fell short of best practice, counsel to the commission Angus Stewart QC found in his submission, published on Tuesday.
  Since 1950 the church has received 1,066 allegations against its members and did not report any of them to police.

  
  

  Shame on you if you are not disgusted by this & shame on you if you continue to support this disgraceful organization which brings misery upon the lives of many by imposing illogical man-made rules while having NO SYMPATHY AT ALL for sexual abuse victims!!!
