  As a Matter of Conscience, I Am Resigning from the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Sail Away in

  after listening to the hearings of the australian royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse, i am no longer content to have simply walked away from the organization.

  as a matter of conscience, i do not want my name linked with the organization in any way.

  i know this letter has been posted previously, and i thank the author.

  Oh yeah, they are just bullies in a suit and tie.

  Sometimes all it takes is a few to storm the barricades and the rest will find their courage to do the same.

  When I think of the perks this religion must be eligible for, for it's not for profit status it makes me angry.

  They are a religion of free-loading bums.

  Remember the two elderly sisters?

  by John Aquila in

  about a month ago i posted what had happened to two elderly sisters who were reprimanded by a couple of elders for crying because the jw broadcasting was going to be stopped at the kingdom hall and it was up to each publisher to learn how to use the internet.

  if you recall the sisters got together with my mom and talked about it and it resulted in all of them declining to make meals for the pioneers.

  here is the link.

  Maybe not cultbegone, but it will bog things down that have up till now been a given.

  The more legislation they have to work around the more difficult it will become for anyone "reaching out."

  Also, how does this bode for the Theocratic ministry "School" and the children enrolled.

  Children going door to door with anyone other than their parents?
