think about this.........23,720 innocent little lambs, those that are jesus' precious lambs......have been sexually abused and mistreated.. that is a shocking number isn't it, considering the watchtower claims to be the only religion approved by god himself!
it is appalling to say the least!
besides that, the mere fact that it took one unsuspecting person to stumble onto and "uncover" this filthy secret file and expose it....is disturbing.
this news should be in every paper and on every news station
Every witness i have talked to about this says it is a lie
as they are not allowed books or internet dealing with this subject
how are we supposed to show them they are worshiping a perverted organization?
now that you're no longer a jw, do you wish people "good luck" or say "bless you" when they sneeze?
wish people a "happy easter" voluntarily and not just mumble "same to you" when they wish it to you?
i do, and every time i do i get a little thrill and smile to myself because it's just one more thing i now have the freedom to do, and it's a little thing but i think it shows care and respect for my fellow humans.
I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS VERY SUBJECT
Every year I made ukranian easter eggs now my husband wont let me make them
so here is a present for everyone
HAPPY EASTER
my daughter has been dating a non-baptized jw boy, 18, we will call him "casey"; she is 17, and he seems to be ok that i am an apostate.
he comes over to the house, spends hours talking to the entire family, including apostate me, and he is truly remarkable in that he cares not what others might say about his association with my daughter and me.
good kid.
I FOUND A PICTURE OF A GROUP OF ELDERS

Very informative post thankyou
If we do not see a point at first we should keep trying to grasp it, rather than opposing and rejecting it and presumptuously taking the position that we are more likely to be right than the discreet slave
that has always been my problem. I dont believe anything they say
I believe I am right and they are wrong
I dont believe in 607BCE
just wondering....
i was publicly disassociated years ago
i never told anyone it happened in another country
the people that study with me dont know ,neither does my husband
I wonder if it would make any difference now?
this is my one big secret. I could not tell my mother because it would have hurt her to much
i was publicly disassociated for talking to Mormons
below is an interview with the drunken, pipe-dreamin, selfish, psychopathic bastard back in 1930.. the interview with j.f.
rutherford that appeared in the sun diego sun, march 15, 1930. .
"but how will you identify king david or any of the other representatives from god?
but with one grand radio station operating without interferience and with unlimited power,such will enable the people at all times,with their superfine receiving sets,to hear the message of the lord and join in praise to his name(preperation)pg332
the primary reason and purpose of jesus coming to earth was to bear witness to the truth of and concerning Jehovah and to vindicate jehovahs holy name (enemies) pg 151
all liars and murderers are religionists (enemies)pg 118
the question is ,will great britian and america become fascist under the dominating control of the roman catholic hierarchy?the scriptures and the facts appear to fully support that conclusion(enemies)pg291
Just a few thoughts from the Judge
i pertain to a congregation in the orange county.
from the ages of around 5-16 i went to all the meetings etc etc.
i am currently 18 years of age, although i am not the ''ideal'' christain boy, i have strong faith in jehova.
actually ive looked into the mormons, budda, athiest, lutheran, protestant and it all sums up to be a bunch of BULL CRAP
Kosmik you have alot of learning to do
As I have stated before it is not true what you have been taught is a lie
you havent researched enough go back to go and start again
the only bullcrap is the faithful discreet slave
its the blind leading the blind put your contacts in and look again
the mormons have the apostles you have the FDS
they have their book of mormon you have the new world translation
whats the difference
like you said it all sums up to a bunch of bull crap
i just wanted to introduce myself and tell everyone that i have enjoyed many of the posts.
i wish that this resource was available 7 years ago when i walked away from the organization, it would have helped my transition a great deal.
i also wanted to say that it is enjoyable to come to a forum that is not on an angry rant about the organization on a constant basis.
Nice to meet you exjdub
