have you all read this weeks study article?.
oh my word it is full of fear inducing tactics....doom and gloom outlooks.... anxiety inducing methods to develop absolute control over witnesses and cripple them in any attempt to think for themselves!.
(notice i am saying "themselves" rather than "ourselves"?!
Sitting in it but out of it mentally it's quite sad that I bought into it for forty years. I was simply too trusting.
It's gang mentality. Our gang is better than all the other gangs. We'll present our version of the facts and all will agree. Because why would you disagree? Don't you want to be in the best gang?
Blindfolded we are.

there's a lot of talk on here about changes the society must make, one of them being the announcing of sexual predators in the congregation.
i agree.
but do any other organizations do the same?
So, in summary, simply report all accusations of what is a CRIME to the police. Immediately. Simple.
Cooperate with the authorities. Simple.
Support the accusers. Simple.
Seems to be fairly logical and common sense.
How the hell do they get it so wrong?
I like otwo's suggestion of reminding congregation goers to check whatever website lists sexual offenders for your area for the protection of your children. Again common sense.

I know that to work with kids here in the UK, you have to pass a crb check, and if you've got anything like that on your record then no way José. But if a crb check isn't mandatory (which it clearly should be), then does any other group do what we think the WT should?

a biology professor is speaking out, demanding an apology and calling for an end to attempts to perpetuate lies against evolution after a statement from him was taken out of context in a creationist article in awake!, a jehovahs witness publication.
he says that a portion of his statement was picked from the whole, leaving a completely different impression from his actual statement.. .
Well, I, for one, shall never trust professor Singh again after this quote in the Awake magazine. Incidentally, I'm very rich and was going to commission professor Singh to undertake several studies for me. But not any more.
(there, his reputation has been damaged and he's out of pocket financially. Go ahead and seek restitution prof!)
hello forum,.
i'm new here and not sure where to post.
so, i'm 21 years old and currently a baptized witness, however, i'm slowly making my mind up to leave and here's why.. first, there are certain things that make no sense to me in the organization.
Good for you mate, waking up so early. Wish I had.
You'll go far!
as an elder, i used to find a legitimate reason to wander.
remember this and other threads a few months back, on the subject that some kingdom halls in chile acquiesced to govt rules that every building should display the national flag on the day of celebration?.

many of us here and around the net, calling on our dub experiences cried "never would that happen!
Wow. I labelled it bs too. Sorry!
Can't read the letter but you guys' synopsis is damping. Wow.
