  so my father, who is an active jehovah’s witness, told me yesterday of an experience currently doing its rounds amongst the witnesses in relation to cart witnessing.

  there is a bridge called ‘the bridge’ which is a well known place for people committing suicide.

  apparently the jws have been setting up there literature carts there for a while now and ever since they have there has been no more suicide attempts from the bridge.

  Child sex abuse Stratford upon Avon UK

  2. child-abuse

  this appeared in the local paper 'stratford herald' october 2015. the guy was supported by his congregation and he has now been released from prison and is once again part of the same congregation.

  allen (43) of evesham road, dodwell, stratford, was jailed for two years and eight months and ordered to register as a sex offender for life after he pleaded guilty to two charges of sexual activity with a child.. prosecutor andrew wallace said jehovah’s witness allen had met the girl in the mid-2000s through the church.. the girl, now a young woman in her 20s, said she began to fancy allen, who had started to pay her compliments.. then on one occasion when he gave her a lift, despite being fully aware she was only 15, allen put his hand down her trousers and penetrated her with his fingers.. she did not object or tell anyone what had happened, and there were further consensual incidents between them, including various types of sexual activity but not full intercourse.. someone who suspected what was going on between allen, a family man in his 30s, and the girl said something to her mother.. but when she challenged both her daughter and allen about what she had heard, they both denied it.. things stopped after the girl began to feel guilty about what was happening, and she eventually decided to come forward last year and contacted the police.. she said she had been dramatically affected by what had gone on, and that what happened with allen caused her to suffer a breakdown and still haunts her.. when allen was questioned by the police he accepted the incidents had taken place, but claimed it was the girl who had taken the lead, added mr wallace.. elizabeth power, defending, said allen, who has a son and a daughter who are now both in their 20s, had attended for a voluntary interview with the police and made admissions.. “he did not force himself on her; but he was the adult and she was a child.

  he says he was weak and was attracted to her.

  The book of Jeremiah

  2. bible

  it occurred to me the other day that i don't actually know all that much about the bible.

  dont get me wrong, i was a very dedicated and studious jehovah's witness and i studied the bible every day - or so i thought.

  i have now realised that during the time i spent in that religion i didn't study the bible - i studied jehovah's witness theology.

  i work in a village called drakesbroughton in between pershore and worcester in worcestershire.

  its a large village with about 400 homes.

  recently it turned into a no cold calling zone and someone in the village ordered stickers for every household saying "no cold callers, no surveys, no canvassers and no religious callers.

  feeling like a true apostate today

  2. experiences

  it was back in 2011 when i was convinced that jws dont have the truth.

  i rejected so many teachings and was open about that to members of my family.

  it took me another year to pluck up the courage to attend other churches.

  Colossians 1:15,16 all (other) things

  by truthwillsetyoufree in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this thread isn't meant to go into discussing how deceptive the society has been over the translation of this passage of scripture as that has been done many times on here.

  what i want to know is this - the society has inserted the word other in the collosions verses and the one in philippians (above every (other) name).

  they've done this for doctrinal matters.

  please spare a moment to consider the difiiculties faced by gay jehovahs witnesses.

  i was raised and baptised as a very serious jw.

  every waking moment of my day was lived for jehovahs and his organization and for nothing else.
