  Our JW Friend told by Elder "Satan is using a Pedophile to Break your Faith"

  by flipper in

  i was given permission by a jw friend of my wife and me to post this experience.

  she's anonymous and posts on the board.

  she is married to a witness still but is fighting on behalf of children in her congregation to not be a next victim of a pedophile who attends her congregation.

  Why blame the elders or the GB when satan is such a handy boogey-man.

  ) why do animals suffer and die?.

  ) if this is all about god's soverenty, why cause the flood?

  how does it prove "man cannot direct their own step" if god immediately turns around and wipes men out for " eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage ?".

  What has your organisation done to protect children?

  What is your organisation currently doing to support victims of abuse?

  Be honest post do all posters on this site believe the bible is 100% or has flaws?

  we in the psychology/sociology field have a saying "when people protest too loud usually they are overcompensating".

  i did not understand that when i first started studying psychology but now i understand it completely and it is so true.

  when i hear someone constantly bashing something or someone such as gay bashing or ethnic bashing or religion bashing sometimes i wonder what are they hiding.

  JW Flash Mob

  by Listener in

  2. beliefs

  a flash mob is defined as a large public gathering at which people perform an unusual or seemingly random act and then disperse.. jws are now in on the act and were doing this in bath on unsuspecting convention delegates during their tours after the convention.

  they did this on at least three seperate occassions.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hmrqr-k4hq.

  here's another one, not so public though.

  Elders and priests what 's the difference?

  by sparrowdown in

  is being a "good" elder the same as being a "good" catholic priest?.

  is there any difference between representing the rcc and representing that other bastion of child abuse the wt?.

  No, of course child abuse is not confined to the RCC or JWs, the point is if you know that the religious group you are representing is up to it's eyeballs

  in child abuse cover-ups and abuse scandals dating back decades and that group refuses to address the problem or even acknowledge it.

  Then why the hell would you want to continue representing it (which would involve officially defending it) as an elder or a priest?

  Wrestling with change, technology, jealousy, and spiritual need...

  hey gang, i'm a fader and i've made a few posts in the past, but i mostly lurk.

  i had a visit with a family member the other night and they know how i feel about my life as a witness growing up.

  my life as a witness was not fun, i had no friends "in the truth," was picked on relentlessly in school, and basically my life as a witness left me with not one real good memory.

  Hi silent, the WT are full of it; lies, double standards, inconsistencies, hypocrasy. This embracing of technology is just the latest back flip.

  It can take some time to wash that cult right out of your hair, so hang in there. You seem to have insight into your tendency towards rigid thinking

  which is good news because what was learned can also be unlearned and it sounds like you are well on the way. Good for you.

  To The Chairman - It's not really about you though is it? You don't make the rules, write the articles or compose the talk outlines.

  Your boss The GB does. Your'e just there undercover helping people, what a hero. You need to start wearing your undies on the

  outside of your trousers and get a cape( sarcastic tone intended.)

  Maybe they would set up a chat room that only "approved" ones can use?

  I have no idea how it would work, but d2d work is so 1950.

  Let' hope he hasn't got his porn ready to play to the householder by mistake.

  Could make for an increase in "interest"-or the police get called.

  Either way that would be fuuunny.
