  I think you're me. How did I post under a different name?!

  It DOES suck, big time. I've got a time scale I'm working towards, it's very long term but I really wanna escape with family intact.

  jehovah church faces flood of sex abuse cases.

  "a woman who was abused from the age of four by a senior officer of the jehovahs witnesses has lodged a 500,000 claim for compensation in a test case that could open the door to hundreds more suits involving members of the religious organisation in the uk.".

  I've got it in Yorkshire in the print edition.

  The wife asked if I'd bought it for a particular reason as I don't normally.. I said I'd heard that 'we' were in it.

  I hope her curiosity will take over, I'll only get criticised for being negative if I point it out.

  But I know that she'll have the same attitude as stated above, 'if they've got minor details wrong, who knows what else they've got wrong'. (if only I could get her to apply that line of thinking to the world of jw!)

  Advice needed on Crisis of Conscience

  by cappytan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so, some of you may have seen my thread from yesterday about my wife waking up.. we had further discussion yesterday evening after i sent her the pbs video on the abuse scandals plaguing the watchtower.

  she was so furious and pissed off at wt hq.

  apparently a close relative of her's was abused by an elder and the only reason he was reproved and removed as an elder was because he confessed.

  I can't remember who said it, but someone gave me the advice to 'let HER progress determine the speed of your fade' .

  Kindalike being out for a walk with little kids, you go at their pace then they don't get disheartened.

  by nevaagain in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am starting this topic because i was wondering, i see many who leave "the truth" are glad because they can finally have a beard.

  is having a beard really a no go in congregations?

  how is / was it in your congregation?.

  No too bad in the UK, servants can have them (depending on congregation and body of elders) but definitely won't be asked to give a talk at a convention. I know a few servant with beards, and I've heard of an elder with one, (uncorroborated)

  Absolutely ridiculous man made rule.

  Stop Writing People Off

  by Coded Logic in

  2. beliefs

  if you choose to enter into a discussion on this site and you don't have the time, or patience, or are just too damn lazy to defend your position on any given topic that is perfectly fine.

  i'm not going to bash you over the head about it.

  however, please don't tell me that i'm "wasting my time" or that the person i'm trying to convince, "will never learn.

  True dat. I lurked for ages and it was only cos folk could be bothered to reason against dumb arguments that I eventually signed up. You may feel you're throwing your pearls before swine, but you NEVER know who ELSE is reading this...

  Introducing myself

  by maksutov in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my name is russ, i'm 40 years old, from the uk, and i left the jws nearly 5 years ago.

  i've been a member of the yuku board throughout that time, so there are probably some on here who know me already.

  there seems to be more activity over here at the moment, so i thought i'd pop in and say hi.i was raised as a jw, started questioning it when i was 16, but there was no internet back then (well, no www anyway) so i got sucked right in and got baptized when i was 18. auxiliary pioneered on and off for a couple of years, then became a ministerial servant.
