  by CovertsadJW in

  i have been wanting to write a book for kids who grow up in the borg or near the borg.

  it would be non offensive and factual.

  i am putting the chapters together.

  Nice idea!

  Perhaps include the BITE model.

  Help those young ones to identify :

  Behaviour control

  Information control

  Thought control

  Emotion control

  And I am proud of the way the Dutch media is having a field day exposing JWs at the moment! Especially re the child abuse mishandling!

  Bravo Dutch media and law officials!

  Please Switch Off Your Critical Thinking

  i have an uneasy feeling inside that something is coming this year or the next.

  perhaps a new big announcement that turns jwdom on it's head.. we've seen the statement in the watchtower november 15th, 2013 which said:.

  watchtower november 15th, 2013 - page 20, paragraph 17.. .

  Great thread PE!

  To be honest though, I don't think that the GB have thought that far ahead with any grand plan. I think they are just doubling down on "OBEY US" or else stuff. They haven't yet thought of what that actually involves...they are not that bright....

  Haha! yes, I am cerrtainly no longer stuck in a rut either!

  I originally chose my name as i was stuck as an appointed man in the cong, active in all aspects, but mentally out!

  So i chose stuckinarut2 ( as in "I am stuck in a rut as well" ) as i knew there were many others in my situation.

  I am now well and truly out ; and so thankful too! My wife is also out, hence her user name choice here 'unstuck'

  Australian States & Territories Fail to Sign Up on a Redress Scheme For Victims of Child Sexual Abuse.

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  at a recent coag {,council of australian governments} meeting the subject/issue of states & territories to sign up for a national redress scheme to compensate victims of institutional abuse sexual and otherwise fell on deaf ears.. not one state or territory agreed to sign up .

  not one.. i am sure the victims of child sexual abuse within various institutions not only the jehovah`s witnesses victims would be very disheartened to learn that.individual states and territories of government within australia do not support a national redress scheme to compensate victims of child sexual abuse .. the south australian govt.

  to my understanding is they will never do so .

  All it will take is one braves state to say yes, and the others will then feel morally compelled to do likewise.

  Almost like positive peer pressure...

  One elder condemned all sisters who wore boots (even in winter), because "prostitutes wear such boots!"

  Or another classic was when Viv Mouritz, the Branch Coordinator in Australia said publicly "the king of the north is Russia! Trust me I've been there, and I've seen It!"

  An elder with only one testicle

  by stillin in

  2. bible

  i happen to be one of very few people who know of this condition that the man has.

  he had an accident several years ago with some power equipment.

  leviticus 21:20 commands that no man present the bread at the temple with damaged testicles... so?.

  i have been on a fade for years, so this is the first time i have been in a kh for months.the deceased was barely 52 when he died.

  from cancer.

  one year younger than me.the memorial was the standard "read the obituary column word for word, then do the jw commercial for 25 minutes" plus a new twist (to me), they played a video called "around the corner" https://youtu.be/tfccoyp0vsu.

  Oh my goodness!

  That is just so plain sick! Both the showing of the video and the request to "send donations to the society"

  Wow.....I have heard it all now. The level of callousness has reached a new low!
