i thought of successfully fading out, but suffered a miscarriage last week.
i gradually decreased the number of meetings i attended.
in the latter half of the year it became once a month, then once in two months, once in three months ….. last week, two elders who visited me, after their bla..bla..asked: “where will you go leaving the motherly organization—the only truth now available on earth?”.
No that wasnt a miscarriage. A miscarriage is a biological process outside conscious thought. This was an abortion. You choose to kill your fade. Not judging, Just want to be clear for others who may read this and think fading is inpossible or even difficult.
If you wanted to keep your fade alive you could have simply thanked them for their concern and told them you would think over what they said.. or do what ive done and decline to speak with them at all.
Life is choices. Own them.
are you watching dr phil with the df wife and still in husband?.
"my husbands religious beliefs are ruining our family" is the topic.
i"m not home when it airs on cbs in the afternoon so i watch a rerun on ch 55 here in nyc at 8pm.
i have my cable box all set to switch over at the appropriate time..
Dear wild thing,
😂😂😂
1) you did respond.
2) i dont care if you choose to debate or not, your a jack ass for trying to create some hypothetical situation that didnt happen just to paint the wt as evil.
They did. The right. Thing.
It dosent mean its not a cult. It dosent mean they didnt do the wrong the thing in thousands of other cases.
This time they did .

They just said that the ELDERS called child protective services on him because they suspected abuse. I can't believe my ears! If he had a position of authority, such as being an elder, would they have still reported him so quickly?
for fuck sake is there no winning? They DID THE RIGHT THING!!! It dosent mean jw’s have the truth, it dosent mean they arnt a cult, it dosent mean they haven't done the wrong thing in thousands of other cases but on this one THEY DID THE RIGHT THING! Why be a jack ass and try to make it negative or speculate on the idea that they would have protected hin if he were an elder?

if you see someone about to be struck by a car or otherwise step into harms way but choose not to call out a warning or act in some way to prevent disaster, are you responsible for any harm caused?.
what defence, if any, can be offered for choosing inaction?
.
So i have a question.. i saw the op’s laters post regarding the situation that prompted the topic. Is it common in london for all trees to be inspected on some sort of schedule? It seems ridiculous to my american sensibilities to expect trees to be inspected and deemed “safe” somehow. How did the tree fall? Was the girl climbing on it? A big gust of wind? Was someone cutting it down? So many details missing here...
If this were a random accident, the tree fell and this poor little girl was hit then the owner bears legal responsiblity (under american law) but morally its a far more detailed discussion about where the tree was, was it obviously dead etc etc,... but if the only claim of moral responsiblity is that it had been more than year since some sort of tree inspection had been done...? Seems very bizarre to me.
despite decades of the feminist movement, watchtower's attitude of woman being inferior has changed little, with pauline sexism justified as inspired, on the basis that women are lesser emotionally, intellectually and physically.
jehovah's witnesses seem to accept this with little resistance.
is there anything about the #metoo movement that may wake followers up?
The farther you get away fron the cult it becomes more and more difficult to remember whats its like.
as descibed by the title here is a link to reddit of a what i believe is a powerful post with heaps of information.

“meetoo” isnt a movement, let alone one that would cause any change within the cult.
of course the religion condemns homosexuality but did you know any gay witnesses?
i knew some bethelites that were very effeminate and i remember 4 women who were suspected of being lesbians by many in the congregation.
they eventually moved away and were very vocal against males, especially elders..
Because one left handed son of bitch will ruin EVERY get well card they touch! Round em all up and shoot them all.

No. Nobody does. According to their bronze age desert god such things are forbdiden. You can also change. Their so called holy book says “that is what some of you were”. So, no, nobody knows any homosexual jw’s, strickly speaking.
Now in practicality are there homosexual jw’s? Of course. Jw’s are a cross section of whatever culture they live amongst. Why anyone think there are NOT homosexual jw’s? Or left handed jw’s? Or jw’s with peanut allergies?
Or did you mean practicing or openly homosexual jw’s? If that was your question see point one.
