  Officials in Remote Northern Canada Thank Jehovah’s Witnesses for Special Bible Education Campaign

  by OrphanCrow in

  this article was published by the wts on their website.. i find this jw practice of targeting vulnerable populations to be so disturbing.

  the last thing that canadian aboriginal communities need is yet another institution that victimizes their members.. http://www.jw.org/en/news/releases/by-region/canada/inuit-bible-education-northern-canada/.

  It's funny how they will put this on their website but will not share with the R & F anything regarding the Australian Royal Commission. What are they hiding?

  It's amazing how many people we ask (some VERY uber) if the know what happened with the Australian Royal Commission last month. Not even 1 person knows anything about it. What are they trying to hide up in Crooklyn?

  What I said to an Elder and the matter was dropped.

  by Simon Templar in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i decided to tell this small story.. about 25 years ago, we lived in a certain area in the usa and associated with the local congregation there.

  coincidently, one of the elders was the assistant congregation servant in a different kh and congregation which i grew up in.

  therefore, we knew one another well.

  This is tough to say but false accusations are good. It's helping wake people up to the truth about this deceptive/lying cult! I know it helped us.

  "the religion is filled with real experiences of baseless accusations and the persecution of innocent people."

  Absolutely! I believe they enjoy ugly gossip and accusations and hanging people out to dry! We no longer choose to participate in their games! Life is way too short. We are enjoying life with no more judgement! Yippie!

  i was feeling particularly hopeless about the whole jws being assholes thing and sick to death of pretending so ....

  i rang my sister and told her that i no longer believe jws have the truth and the phone went silent, when i asked her to say something she just said if that was the case then she would have to hang up on me and then proceeded to indeed hang up..

  so i texted her back immediately with fu..

  Why did you choose Jehovahs Witnesses?

  by vinman in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm wondering why ones on this forum initially became jw's.

  if you were born in, why did you make it "your own"?

  if you became one later, what was your draw and driving force?

  Born in. Wish I had been one that could make a choice. I certainly would not have chosen the JW's!
