I met my wife as a JW. We are out together, and our children are amazing. If I went back and changed anything, I wouldn't have that. So as much as it sucks, I wouldn't change anything at all if it meant missing out on the people i love.

Yeah a logical mind would consider that a catch 22, but a JW mind will immediately reason themselves out of that cognitive dissonance....and probably end up getting you to say something about changing teachings. Once you do that, they can box you out. -

Clive Parker, an elder at Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses where Joshua and his family worshipped, said: "I believe he was conscious enough after the accident and he made a stand on the blood issue. He made the choice personally."
You go to hell Clive. This was a 15 year old boy, and the only "issue" is that at that age any normal adult would know he is doing what he is told, not expressing his well thought out and vetted belief system. What a clod!

Could this happen to you?
by adjusted knowledge inthere was a jw who was a born in and faded about 10 years ago near a congregation i attended.
he never married or had children and was in his late 30's.
his parents shun him for the most part but then he had a major stroke.

I am glad the parents took care of their children. While of sound mind they felt differently, but if the price for being in your 30's and having your aging parents care for you round the clock is some drool time at meetings......small price to pay for such help.

For once and for all
by Pistoff infor the latest apologists for the gb and the lawyers that rank and file are paying for:.
the wt has not changed their policy.. they still have a 2 witness policy about child sexual abuse, and think it's a good idea.. they will still appoint someone who has sexually abused a child, if they want to.. they say that they won't allow an abuser to go door to door without supervision, but this means nothing, as they protect the identity of abusers; they refuse to tell all elders and ms's who they are, witness mr. kendricks.. nothing has changed..

Why is any parent not with their child in the ministry anyways? That seems bizarre. You are out with your parent, or you aren't out. End of it. -

I think this is not a legit anonymous video. Maybe someone who identifies with them or is one of them sort of.....which is still fine. But nothing has been hacked. I would like to see them get the database for reported molesters. That would have meaning. -

I congratulate her. I am sure it is exhausting and expensive. Its a small consolation victory after coming so far. But the WT is very adept at using the first amendment as both a shield and a sword whenever it suits them.
I do hope she didn't sign a gag order, but that is certainly her right, and I wouldn't think any less of her. Gag order or not....I am sure there is a way to find out. :)

How are the JW's reacting to the new USA gay marriage laws?
by purrpurr inpersonally i think this is wonderful.
i have nothing against gay people and wish them only the best.. but of course i'm in a minority of one, the jw's around me are posting away on fb the most homophobic vitriol imaginable.
a lot of them are even saying that it's the start to armageddon!!.

Nor will they try. they will hail it as vindication of their policy, and breathe a sigh of relief that negative press about these inconvenient dead people can also be relegated to the past they are attempting to re-write. Praise him!
