According to Oct.1st 2012 WT Directions- Past Child Molesters CAN Be Appointed Elders

by flipper in

considering the fact that the wt society refuses to release in courts any of it's written directions to elders through confidential letters to elder bodies- i thought i'd do the courts and wt society a "favor " by posting excerpts from this oct 1st.

2012 letter from the wt society to all bodies of elders.

these instructions are very exposing of the negligence of wt authorities in how they view the seriousness of felony child abuse.

Great post.

It's unbelievable that they would let these sick predators EVER to have contact with children or their families. We can only hope that the media and attorneys will continues to put this info out there to the public. I think it is starting to happen. It will snowball..I believe that.

Stephen Lett said absolutely NOTHING about the countless lives that have been affected by the pedos or the harm to children and their families.

I don't think the JW religion will go away but I do think it's growth is stagnant, the money is not coming in and the masses are feeling beat down and tired (no encouragement, no kudos, no love and kindness). Nothing positive is happening and it shows.

We have heard so many active witnesses, that we still have contact with, tell us they are no longer donating. We have noticed that many of them will sit there and complain and bash the organization (Apostate style) and then say, "but it's still Jehovah's organization." Reminds us of the the Stepford wives! Crazy! Makes us want to scream...WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!

Why are so many Elders and Elders deleted so angry at the Flock?

by JWCartPusher in

has anyone else experienced the wrath of elders and ex-elders on innocent rank-and-file dubs?

what are these power hungry men and their wives so mad about?

where is the love we were promised when those witnesses spent hours indoctrinating us about the spiritual paradise of witnesses we would be joining?

JW's and the care of the elderly

by Lynnie in

i've been df'd for 35 years and my uber pioneer mother is getting on in years, 84 to be exact and starting to have signs of dementia and the social worker is worried that she can't be left alone at all anymore.

she just had her second hip replaced and is in rehab.

my uber elder cousin is the power of attorney since my mom was told i couldn't be trusted since i'm df'd.

Oh they do have facilities if you can afford $3500-$4900 per month. http://jah-jirehhomesofamerica.com/ I'm sure they make sure all wills and estates are made payable to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.

Of course your cousin is too busy "in Jehovahs work" to care properly for your Mom but if and when it comes time to settle a will or an estate they are front & center. We have senior family members who are not being taken care of by there Uber dub JW's because the children are just too busy, so the congregation ends up with the responsibility. We have witnessed this in our own families several times. It's sad

The Watchtower organization's crime against humanity

by TerryWalstrom in

who are the real heroes of society?.

are they not the people who are doctors and nurses and teachers and firemen and policemen and counselors and humanitarians?.

because of the watchtower organization, we are missing generations of those kinds of heroes who will not exist (but could have) because jehovah's witnesses destroyed them by convincing millions of it's members those professions are meaningless and unimportant for them to pursue.

"fireman is a pretty popular gig among JWs that don't want to be janitors."

Ouch! How many firefighters died on 9/11? 343 firemen, 60 police officers and 8 paramedics. Along with thousands of innocent people.

Governing Body Member Stephan Lett Lies On JW.TV

by Finkelstein in

i thought it would be important to clearly point in the recent talk by governing body member stephan lett, that he did in fact deliberately lie concerning what he described as lies and false information by apostates, concerning the organization being permissive toward people in the organization who had been involved in pedophilia.

the truth of the matter is thats exactly what the organization has been doing and perhaps for a long time.

the recent candace conti law suit where she was awarded 28 million dollars was levied against the wts for its irresponsible behavior by the elders who gave no notification of the accused jonathan kendrick that he had been charged with pedophilia and spent months in jail for his actions .

Lett briefly addresses the child abuse issues in new JW.org video

by Richard_I in

jw
friends

i just read about this on the ex-jw subreddit.

link to the video (10m06s).. skip to 7:35 where he says: "another way we can contribute to the oneness - rejecting false stories that are designed to separate us from jehovah's organization.

as an example, think about the apostate-driven lies and 'dishonesties' that jehovah's organization is permissive toward pedophiles.

ToesUp

How can anyone watching this idiot take him seriously? Just watching him makes my skin crawl.

Great post Pistoff.

I don't care what anyone thinks...this organization is VERY concerned about the pedophile cases. As they should be.

Midweek Meetings no longer Necessary

by Tech49 in

i am sure we have all seen the recent letter to the boe concerning the change that will take place to the meeting arrangement during the week of the co visit.

to recap the basics: the meeting that usually contains the cong bible study (book study) and a co talk will be discontinued, publishers are encouraged to use their family worship night that week to cover book study material.. so here is a point that i think has been missed, or not even considered:.

if that particular meeting is hereby deleted from the schedule, the co and his wife will never ever have to participate in or go to another "book study", or "bible study" night again.

ToesUp

We felt a huge difference after the book study in homes was eliminated. The kids enjoyed it and it drew everyone closer together. This organization takes all of the joy and anything that remotely seems to bring any happiness and either they ruin it or eliminate it. All the happiness is supposed to be saved for the paradise (not now).

They have discouraged (past and present)...marriage, children, nice homes, the purchase of vehicles, vacations, careers, college education. They tell the brothers how to cut their hair, no beards, the colors of their shirts, the types of shoes/socks that are and are not acceptable. The length of sisters skirts, types of blouses, if the wear pantyhose, the # of piercings they have in their ears. Where you sit at the hall or assemblies. Even the kind of sex you can not have within your marriage. The list goes on and on. The rules are endless with no scriptural backing.

Your happiness is just around the corner. NOT!!!
