so i ran into this brother whom ive known for a while and the conversation led into me being invited to come back to the kingdom hall.
we talked for about an hour during which time i explained to him 607 being the wrong date and a lot of other stuff including the child abuse cases in australia.
but what i wanted to relate was the last few minutes of our conversation.
I realized early on in my waking up process that others will only wake up in their own time in their own way.
Just as I had to. It is incredibly frustrating when you see the potential for a normal relationship, but it is not possible
due to the indoctrination. No easy answers, unfortunately.
so we've heard from three different governing body members this year regarding child sexual abuse.. the latest one on the rc admitted there's a sexual abuse problem within the cult, yet lett and morris swept the dirt under the carpet stating they have a great reputation as far as sex abuse is concerned, and pointed their fingers at "apostate lies".
.
i'm left totally confused at the contradiction of this "organization"..
If you were left totally confused by the contradictions then the contradictions have served their purpose.
It's like a game of "which shell is the truth hiding under?"
today as i had the old timey music playing and the song love potion no.
9 came on, i remembered being reproved by a brother at a get together when i sang along to that same song.
oh that song is spiritistic, blah blah.
That makes me wonder.
Stairway to Heaven, Highway to Hell - what, the afterlife can't afford an elevator?
As far as naughty songs go, I remember singing along to "I smell sex and candy...." and getting the raised eyebrow/ stinkeye for my efforts. Killjoys!
i can't help thinking that there is something essentially wrong with gj's new description of the role of the gibbering biddies as guardians of the doctrines..
guardians immediately take on a role of authority, (dont ever forget who is in charge!
) guardians outside of the legal sense of adoptive parent has another resonance, it sounds like the inhuman bullies in some dystopian novel about oppressive religious politics.

Well they couldn't call themselves guardians of the bible because that has survived for centuries without their help.
These idiots need a check up from the neck up!!
has anyone here re-watched that last day?
the part where justice mcclellan is asking mr jackson if he feels that this royal commission is a sincere effort to make some good changes in policy...?.
and does mr jackson feel it would be worth it to put a collective effort, along with other organizations to compensate or find means of redress, for the victims of child sexual abuse?.
They hide behind religion. They would not be allowed to run a business like this.
I find the whole "we can get away with anything in the name of religion" thing so infuriating.
I'm sure that most people do too, this RC has highlighted major flaws in this religion.
I believe pandoras box has well and truly been opened.
ok....how is this possible.....at a 1 day assembly??.....
how do opperating costs, come up to $2300 in one frikkin day?.
watchtower owned.....4 congregation assembly hall , on a small island ?
You would think that if it was all legit they would provide a breakdown of the costs, electricity etc.
The fact that they do not makes it very sus indeed.
hey all,.
have you seen the new video on http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/activities/living-bible-principles/adult-survivor-child-abuse-video/ ?.
isn't this too much of a coincidence?
I'm beginning to realize in WT world there are no coincidences, only strategies, moves and counter moves.
The miraclulous timing of holy spirit - my ass!
