  "Don't you love Jehovah anymore then ?"

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  mrs phizzy ran into a jw lady from a neighbouring congo who has known us since we were teenagers, before we married, sometime in the pleistocene era lol.. during the conversation said lady asked if mrs phizzy was going to the r.c, to which mrs phizzy replied, "oh you haven't heard, we no longer go to meetings".. the jw lady then came back with the question in the thread title, which mrs phizzy handled well.. the point of this is though, what a god-awful, stupid, cult-minded question to ask !.

  did she think we woke up one morning and thought "we don't love god anymore" ??

  would that happen to anyone ?.

  maybe i would say--" oh yes--i still love jehovah-------but--evidently he doesnt love me anymore !"

  err--no. i would just burst out laughing and call her a looney.

  How Far Apart Were Your Legs?

  by Joe Grundy in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  several threads on here about the excellent bbc r4 programme this week ('the report') focussing on rape and abuse in barry, south wales, jws.

  fat pervert mark sewell later got 14 years and i hope he is enjoying every minute of it.. the courageous ladies who spoke on the programme were articulate, reasonable and made a tremendous impression.. the quote in the thread title made an impression on me, and i hope, on all listeners.. forget religious, theological, 'biblical' issues and cut to the basics.

  a rape victim was asked to demonstrate - to demonstrate, ffs - to three unqualified (middle-aged at least, presumably) men just how far her legs were apart when she was raped.. i have rarely heard anything so outrageous, and i used to investigate rape and abuse in my profession.

  a friend of mine--an ex jw----ive known her since she was a baby. shes late 40's now.

  she was d/f'd in her late teens for sexual misconduct. apparently the elders made her describe--in graphic detail---her private behaviour.

  this cannot be right--surely?

  are there any written instructions from the watchtower society as to how these elders conduct these hearings--? what questions are required ? does any one know ?

  _________________________________________________________________ in fact---her ( late ) parents were very good friends of mine--back in the late 60's--when i was a dub. in another thread i mentioned some ex jw women with various illnesses--well--this poor lady has more than her fare share. she only "came out" about no longer being a jw in recent years after her mum died. she had now been shunned by her natural sisters--just when she needs them the most.

  her dad--long gone--would turn in his grave if he had known how the cult would tear his family apart.

  Whatever Happened to the Remnant?

  by snugglebunny in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  back in the 50's, when i was just a skinny kid, my father became po of a new congregation.

  he'd only been baptised for around 4 years, so his rise was quite remarkable.just one of his flock in the new cachement area was of the "remnant".

  this lady was well into her 60's, childless but married.

  does any other religion teach this 2 tier system---the 144 k being a literal number ?

  Child Abuse - "I don't care. I haven't got any children".

  by cofty in

  earlier this week i bumped into a couple of jws who i recognised from the cult cart.

  a few months ago i had a long conversation with him one of them and found him to be quite friendly.

  he is new to the area in the years since i left.. this time he was very defensive and said he wasn't allowed to talk to me.

  when i first joined this site 5 years ago there was a regular contributor who claimed to be of the annointed--even though she had left the cult. go figure. i wonder if she still reads these threads.

  over the last few years since i joined this site--and the wonderful world of ex jws--ive come across a fair number of females who have escaped the cult. A high number of them have all manner of illnesses--both physical and mental----that i had never heard of before. coincidence =-or what ?

  i think--if truth be told--most born in kids learn to hate the cult----and only go along with it out of economic necessity. the majority leave sooner or later.

  Yet more trolley (in)activity

  i am currently having to spend a little time waiting for an appointment in the vicinity of a central london station.

  whilst waiting i am catching up on some work in a cafe.

  i can see a couple of trolleys and have been watching them for around an hour now.. not one person has stopped to take literature.
