  Terry Obrien is the Australian Branch Co-ordinator. The top guy in the Australian branch.

  He was one who was brought in for questioning at the ARC.

  JW’s do NOT shun... (apprently)

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my quora campaign of answering all jw related questions truthfully with evidence is going well.

  however, one jw had the audacity to claim that "jws do not shun".

  they seem to want to present a fake, squeeky clean image to non-members and seem to get angry when answering questions regarding shunning.. like this asshole, dennis cybulski.

  Typical Jehovah's Witness:

  "We do not shun. We feel hurt and saddened when someone chooses to leave associating with us. We feel upset when they choose to turn their backs on us!"

  Just like the way Terry O'brien responded when asked those questions during the Australian Royal Commission!

  Hahaha!

  He deleted his "like" from the post!!

  So he clearly got the message and felt awkward...and so has deleted the like. (I didn't even know it could be done)

  So I have deleted my comment from the post to him as well. Otherwise it would look odd having it there.

  What JW habits do you still have?

  by Exelder in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since leaving the jw's after over 4 decades, i can see exactly what it is and hate everything it stands for.

  however, there are still some jw habits and traits that i can't get rid of:.

  1. i can't swear in general conversation (i'd have to be really angry).

  A Question About Elders Knowing About Child Molesters

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  supposedly the society sent a letter out on march 14, 1997 to all elders contained an instruction that inadvertently admitted they had a big problem: “the body of elders should give the society a report on anyone serving or who formerly served in a society-appointed position in your congregation who is known to have been guilty of child molestation in the past.” .

  can anyone here confirm/or not that this was a real letter that was sent to elders?.

  Oh wow...

  The glaring flaws in that whole process is appalling!

  How do they not see how wrong that guidance is??

  What about REPORTING TO THE POLICE??

  New abbreviation POMOSI

  by NeedToKnow in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was thinking that i’m not exactly pomo but more pomosi - physically out mentally out spiritually in.. anyone who is familiar with the life of raymond franz may understand what i mean.

  so i haven’t been to meetings in a while and i’m so over the whole mind control thing but i do love jehovah and believe in his purpose for us.

  the org doesn’t go about it properly imo so i have been doing my own reading and understanding.

  What do you define "Spiritually" as??

  Do you believe that "Jehovah" is the god that uses Jehovah's Witnesses?

  Sure. Remember that YOU have the control over your own life.

  Let them know that you do not recognise their claims of authority.

  Tell them that "it is pretty clear already by my decision to stop attending the kingdom hall that I don't consider myself one of your number. But so that you do not misunderstand this, here is a letter confirming this. Take care"

  ...and walk out. NO conversations required.

  Fair point Simon. Perhaps "cyber-stalking" is the wrong expression. I'll accept that.

  I do think its odd that he just "liked" that one post. Nothing else.

  Maybe he is just saying "I know what you are up to!"

  I say "Good!".
