  If there is a large group of people in that Scottish town, it would be a "lot of Twatts!"

  Seriously, this is just like the scribes and pharasees...."making endless rules" and "binding heavy loads on the shoulders of men"

  WAKE UP witnesses! This kind of inappropriate control over personal choices is a sure sign OF A CULT!

  Pervert`s go-ahead to watch over kids ( A JW ? ) With A Childcare Centre

  by smiddy in

  2. child-abuse

  from an article in the herald sun newspaper wed.dec.7,2016 ," a convicted perverts plan to open a childcare centre have been given the green light by the victorian civil and administration tribunal".

  " he was found guilty of wilfully and obscenely exposing himself on five seperate occasions between 1982 and 1997.".

  apparently" he masturbated in front of two 16 year old school girls asking them if they had a good look and if they enjoyed that.".

  As the ARC said : This shows a lack of understanding of the nature of ones who offend"

  I would like everyone to be given the benefit of the doubt, and the chance to change...but to do so with caution. Not to allow him to open a CHILD CARE centre for freaks sake!

  It is almost as if they were testing out the waters to find any rebellious ones when that article came out! Those that were "potentially rebellious" would grow a beard, and then they could be spotted easily and targeted!

  Straight from the horse's mouth - Jehovah's Witnesses are mentally diseased

  by evilApostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  many of you may remember the july, 2011 study edition watchtower magazine which stated that, "apostates are mentally diseased" ( http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2011524?q=mentally+diseased&p=par ).

  to jehovah's witnesses, anyone who leaves "the truth" is an apostate.

  the funny thing is that logically, anyone who teaches false doctrines is also an apostate.. according to the watchtower, anyone who listens to false teachers also classify as apostates (see http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200000309?q=false+teachers&p=par ).

  Yup. Good thread.

  Deut 18:22 "If a someone speaks in "gods name" and it does not come to pass, then reject that one as they are NOT speaking for God!"

  "You Wouldn't Believe How Many Have Crawled Back To The Meetings"

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  that's a comment i heard from an elder i haven't seen in over a decade, yesterday.

  i mentioned it all on my other thread.

  i responded that i knew of no one that was crawling back to the meetings and gave him an incredulous hearty chuckle.

  Why people would want to crawl back into an abusive situation is beyond belief.

  It is just the same as a domestic abuse situation. Once someone gets out, why would they want to go back? Only if they are so downtrodden that they think that is the "best I will ever deserve".

  Sad...sad

  by Sorry in

  my sarcasm will get me df'd one day.

  after being disgusted by the bs of the sunday meeting, i chatted with one inactive brother came back for that one meeting.

  i can't exactly remember how it came up, but he told me and a sister whose a close friend of mine that she shouldn't be so uptight, we're no longer under the mosaic law.

  So in two adjoining verses, the Mosaic law condemns Tattoos and Shaving a mans beard off. But of course, the Society only applies the Tattoo part...and completely disregards the Shaving off the beard part!

  My mother's treatment. Unreal.

  by quellycatface in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i disassociated myself 3 years ago but have never told my mother, as she lives quite a distance from me in the uk.

  i've have told her that i no longer go to meetings, neither does my son, who is 16.. i haven't seen her for 3 1/2 years.

  i offered to come visit this week but she was incredibly offhand with me and said she couldn't meet with me today as she was on the ministry!!

  Hi.

  sorry to hear you are going through this. It's actions like this that confirm that they are in a high control cult like group....nothing else explains such terrible behaviour.

  Stay strong, and don't allow that situation to dictate how you feel.

  Are they beating us ???? According to Matt. 24:48..

  by tor1500 in

  2. friends

  it occurred to me the other day...the society is loading us up on all types of ways to reach others....jw.org, all types of literature, all types of different ideas, maybe you could use the tools jehovah gave us this way or perhaps you can use it that way, maybe you can volunteer, maybe you can go where the need is greater, maybe you can give more $$$, maybe you can give more time, maybe you can look at how you can be in the ministry more, maybe you can meditate more, maybe you can do this or that for your family study, maybe you can talk to a seasoned witness & find out how they.....& i know there are tons of other things maybe we can do....or yes, forgot this one, maybe you can quit your job....then maybe you can get some rest, because you can't serve jehovah when you are tired.

  how can you get more rest if, you don't have no money to live indoors...anyway, with all these maybe's we can do..... it came to my mind that the gb isn't here as of yet & it seems the org.

  is pressing the friends for bible studies...they are saying....we are giving you all these tools & so why are you not getting bible studies or return visits...it's almost as if they are brow-beating us...do more because the society has given you more...it's not us, folks just ain't listening to us at the door any more....they are not even opening up the door.

  It really doesn't matter how widespread that message goes or how many opportunities or avenues they use.

  If the substance of the message is still based on ridiculousness, or past mistruths etc, people will see it for what it is.

  It's no different to a multi national fast food company being located in every possible area on every street corner. Just because it's easy to get does not mean that the product is healthy for you
