  by pale.emperor in

  it's come out in my old congregation that, not one, but two child molesters have been hiding in my old congregation.

  i knew both of them and one of them, an old man, was regularly at my house for field service meetings on a weekly basis.. in my old congregation there's an apostate who was awake long before i was.

  unfortunately he cant leave because his wife and children and parents are still full on believers.

  just been reading this week's study article for the jws:.

  imagine that an experienced guide is leading you on a tour of a wondrous and beautiful city.

  the city is new to you and to those with you, so you hang on to the guide’s every word.

  2. friends

  so i got a text from an elder who i consider one of the good guys and a friend in his own way.. he asked if he could bring the co by for a visit.

  he said it would be "just a pleasant call and visit and will hopefully encourage my wife".

  he says that "he knows she is dealing with a ton of pressure".. in all my years around the organization, i never had a visit from the circuit overseer.

  Dont meet.

  Simply remember what appropriate boundaries are.... and you may need to remind them of those same appropriate boundaries

  Special Talk During the Meeting Today About the Bad Press in Canada

  by RobertT18 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i was invited to a congregation in ontario, canada today and as soon as the meeting opened the brother conducting the meeting said there was a very important statement coming from the borg.

  this talk replaced the two last parts of "living as a christian" section.

  he started reading a letter from the borg about how much they loved us.

  Seriously disturbing stuff!

  To try and spin this as "satanic propaganda" is downright manipulative and wrong!

  As Honest said above, please send that letter to the Aust Royal Commission. They are the nicest people to talk to, and would welcome this sort of thing, as it gives an insight into the reality of how the society distorts facts.

  Geoffrey Jackson, Deuteronomy 18:22

  by Spoletta in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  not sure if this has been commented on, but while reading a discussion, deuteronomy 18:22 was mentioned.

  i looked it up, and was struck by its connection to a remark made by geoffrey jackson during his arc testimony.

  the gist of the scripture is that if a prophet declares something is from god and it doesn't come true, he is speaking presumptuously, and should not be feared.

  Semantics really....

  While they may not say they are "prophets" , they do say that they are "gods channel" and the only organisation "chosen by God".

  So no matter how they spin it, they claim to speak for god.

  That is no different to a "Prophet"

  my sister called me quite out of the blue last night.

  she's a full on active jw and actively shunning me like the rest of the family are.

  i dont quite know the reason why she felt last night was the right time to call but im glad she did.

  Yes, it is mind numbingly and astoundingly frustrating to try and reason with people who have a closed mind...or a "brainwashed mind"

  And yes, it's outstanding to believe that we once were the same....arrogantly convinced that we alone "had the TRUTH"
