  If the elders were abused sexually this problem would have been taken care of long time ago.

  i feel the real problem with the wt cult concerning child abuse is it happens to children not adult men.

  notice i didn't say adult women because they don't care about adult women either.

  i remember a c.o.

  Hello rebelfighter,

  I totally agree with you on the emotional abuse issue. When I went through therapy I was told I suffer with spiritual abuse. This has and still does give me nightmares. They are fewer now. The abuse this cult hands out is enormous and for the most part the Wt is getting away with it. Thank you for your comment. If you can can you us what it takes to be a child's advocate?

  Hello Jonathan Drake,

  I thought what I said was very correct. Sexually abuse is to weak of a word for what is happening. Rape or brutal rape is a much better way for people to understand what is really going on. I do not feel for someone who was sexually abused is better than being rape or brutally raped. It's the same. I just feel the language many are using should be put in a more forceful or stronger term than just sexual abuse. Yes many who are rape as children do become predators but there are also many studies I have read that say this is not true. With that said those who have been hurt by being sexually rape as children bear the responsibility of breaking that cycle as adults. I feel your pain and I hope as time goes on it will become less and less. I am sorry this upset you so much. Still Totally ADD

  I feel the real problem with the Wt cult concerning child abuse is it happens to children not adult men. Notice I didn't say adult women because they don't care about adult women either. I remember a C.O. telling me that my experience of being abused as a child made me stronger as a person. This shows most men in this cult don't get it, it devastates a child for a lifetime. Let's all face it. The term child abuse is a very weak word for what is really happening. Instead it should be called rape of a child and in many cases brutal rape. If brutal rape of men was taking place in the Wt. cult this problem would have been addressed immediately without hesitation on the GB part. But because it is children they just don't care. This cult has a long history of ignoring the children who are trapped in this organization. I remember when I was a small child back in the early 60's I was told time and time again by many old adults children did not belong here. How unloving and unconcerned many in this cult were. It was not until the mid to late 70's that the Wt cult showed any concern for the children. That was because now they had another avenue for new members for the future and for making more money with their free labor. Just think what would be taking place if 1000's of men in this cult were being brutally raped every few years? There would be an uproar within the cult. But with children nothing. Why? Because the cult couldn't care less about the children of the cult. Instead they have featured magazines about the children who gave up their lives for lack of medical care because of cult teachings. I feel this is the cancer that affects the Wt. cult and we who have walked outside the cult box should be using the word rape or brutal rape instead of child abuse. Child abuse is just too weak of a word for what is really happening. Maybe by using this terminology many more eyes will be opened. Take care. Still Totally ADD

  within the past couple of days, women in nyc are going around topless in public.

  i read in a news article, that in new york city, there are no laws against women going topless in public.the article says that family people are getting offended and they want to stop topless women in public.

  in europe women show their breasts on on tv, the beach, and breast feeding in public.

  Thank you flipper for being the voice of all the victims of the Wt. Cult. For those of us who have been through this kind of abuse it is hard to put it into words sometimes but you hit the nail right on the head. Again thanks for your words of concern. Still Totally ADD

  As a child raised in the cult I was told by my parents to call everyone in the hall brother or sister so and so. If I did not I was in big trouble. It was the old hair brush on my back side for me. So it was out of love, I mean fear that remember to do it. Still totally ADD

  J.W. Elders Everywhere - Hang Your Heads in Shame

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  you are corrupt and you know it!

  you reap what you sow, and for many of you, your dirty deeds will soon become crystal clear to the "sheep" whom you sanctimoniously claim to "shepherd", but in reality, are helping wolves to fleece and rip apart!.

  you were complicit several years ago when you agreed to sign away the rights of their congregation's kingdom hall to the org.. you were complicit several months ago when you agreed to hand over all present and future surplus cash to the org.

  I remember my last elders meeting I was at in Nov. 2010 a letter was read about putting the Wt. on the congregation bank account. I was only weeks away from walking away. Put I was thinking how blindly the elders follow what the Wt. has to say. Key words the Wt. uses is simplifying things, less burden on the elders making things work more efficiently. When elders hear that they are ready to jump on the band wagon. This was the reason for the Wt. name being on the bank account at the time. I saw how they was taking over all aspects of the congregation moneys. I am so glad I am not part of that anymore. Still totally ADD

  Born Ins Vs Converts

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  did you ever feel like born ins were looked at differently than those that were converted?

  i always felt that there was a level of suspicion around those "raised in the truth".

  that we were always suspected of being jws to make our family happy.

  I hated it when someone would ask me if I was a born-in or a convert. When I told them I was a born-in they would always say I had it easy that my faith was not as strong as theirs. Now that I know better I would have asked them Oh was you made fun of everyday in school for 4 years because you was a JW. Did the teacher try to force you to salute the flag and when you didn't she would make fun of you and then punish you in front of the whole class. Then tell you better not tell your parents or you will be in bigger trouble. Did you have to fight off a group of kids who would seek you out to beat you up while the teachers looked the other way. Or how about the P.O. who tried to rape my friend and when I caught him doing it he ran me down and choke me until I past out. Then a few days later told me not to say a word because he could come in at night and kill me. Yes I had it so much easier than you converts who came in after you worked a life time making money then at your old age decided to become a JW because you did not want to die at the big A. I was a sacrificial child of the WT Cult and so was all the other kids raised in the Wt. Cult. As children they are the ones who have to make their stand weather they believe the Wt. or not. They are the ones that end up getting hurt because the Wt. never cared a bats ass about the children. I remember when I was a child one of the older ones at the KH told me that I should not even be there because I was a kid. Unloved in the congregation and unloved in the world. What a horrible way to grow up. Boy did I just blow off some steam. 61 years old and this is all I can remember about my Jw childhood. Still Totally ADD

  Why are demons so easy to make friends with?

  by GodZoo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one thing i have been wondering lately regarding a teaching of the org (and other christians) regarding demons... why is it they so easy to contact, make friends with and have them full on involved in your life on an almost immediate and daily basis?.

  why is it you can pray to god, jesus, angels, whoever, during an entire lifetime of offering them loyal devoted and unswerving service yet not one time in say 50 years of this lifestyle will you ever get a response, hear a peep, see even a wisp of a vision or even get the faintest hint of unquestionable interaction from god..?.

  yet on the other hand demons are ready and willing to engage and befriend you in a heartbeat, touch you, talk to you, even molest you in your bed at night, give you gifts, talents, charm and worldly success simply after buying an old mirror, a bit of tatty furniture or a dishevelled book from some dusty old second hand goods store, or simply watching a scary movie or listening to a sexy rock song... .
