  Shameless.

  My father has pretty well cut all contact since he realised "we were apostate" and not just "weak".

  He is indeed "an exemplary elder" clearly...

  so as of july 2nd my wife delivered by c-section our little one pound, three ounce daughter izabella.

  it was a very scary night that started with a decel and turned into multiple decels that greatly concerned the doctors.

  by early morning they felt the need to take her for her safety.

  chasing me for a report

  by Phoebe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm fairly new on here and i've told a lot of my story but to recap, after 60 odd years i've stopped going to the meetings.

  my husband had already left the truth years ago and my children didn't become jws.(phew!).

  i had a horrendous childhood growing up as a witness which included sexual assault by a close relative, also a jw.

  Thanks for sharing your awful account Phoebe. Much love from all here!
  

  I agree that every time they reach out to contact you (for whatever reason - such as reporting), calmly ignore that question, and mildly ask "So how are we progressing regarding my abuse letter? I haven't heard from anyone. Feel free to contact me with an update. Have a nice day"

  So that sends a powerful message that you are in control of any interaction. Not them.

  Fallacies in the article on war at Awake! No. 5 2017

  by Master_Bob in

  2. bible

  why did ancient israel go to war?.

  what some people say.

  the israelites worshipped a bloodthirsty “tribal war god.”.

  So if they went to war to combat those practices of the "evil nations", why did they do the same sort of activities?

  I mean, their own young were killed in wars. Their own young girls were taken as child brides and subjugated . Their own God demanded endless animal blood sacrifices.

  What discernable difference was there between "gods people" and the surrounding nations?

  None!

  July Broadcast - Bible Teach book and Keep Yourselves In Gods Love book

  i didn't manage to last the whole broadcast.

  it was so unbelievably boring that i only managed halfway before i switched it off.

  in this broadcast anthony morris iii (who i affectionately call "the don") stresses to us the importance of studying - not one - but two of their publications in order to understand the bible.

  Thanks for posting!

  Yes, trying to maintain relevance is an ongoing problem for all 'brands', be it commercial or religious.

  Thats why we see retail products being sold as "new and improved formula" all the time..

  Why would it be any different for religious entities. People need to be kept hooked....

  Even after the Australian Royal Commission shone a HUGE spotlight on the inappropriate practice, the arrogant GB persists with such brazen statements....

  But you know, this isnt a cult or anything!?

  Aust Census Data shows decrease while Yearbook shows increase

  by shepherdless in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  on threads about 8 or 9 months ago, i put up some detailed data from the 2011 and 2006 australian censuses.

  data from the 2016 census is becoming available in stages, and i mentioned recently that i would do an update.

  finally, as of about today, some data of interest is available, and i have started to look at this, but it is time consuming, and i am time-poor.. anyway, the first search i have conducted is just a simple breakdown of the number of people describing themselves as jw's.
