"un temoin de jehovah mis en examen pour viol sur mineure de 15 ans.
Even the translation of this story did not make sense to me. My nephew who live near Paris responded to me:
Bonjour Bryan !
I read it. C'est terrible, indeed.
But it's a strange article though. It seems like rape is a part of the witness ritual... And I'm not sure about that. Wouldn't it be better to say that this cult doesn't do anything to make that kind of thing stop ?

the full cover reads, "report on 'everlasting good news' assembly of jehovah's witnesses around the world june 30-september 8, 1963", 192 pages.. it appears to be a report on each of the conventions that were held around the world at that time.
a little wordy for modern taste, but there's lots of neato pictures.. hubby is borrowing it from a friend.
is this document available elsewhere or as a scan?
I was there, but I was about the size of you thumb, residing in my mother's little tummy.
She astually only attended one day. Morning sickness was keeping her at bay.

i read about the high incidents of mental illness and psychiatric disorders among jehovah's witnesses and it .
started me thinking about why this is and how so.
then i made this list and realized how much a child's psyche.
Well, I sat in on a theropy session the other day. (Not mine, but I will have a new theropist soon.) We were discussing my being raised a witness and it seems the theropist has worked with several witnesses. She agreed that the witnesses are actually brainwashed.
I firmly believe that, at least for those born in. When from infancy you taught that you need to do certain things, believe certain things, or you WILL die. It will mold you mind (Brain's Wiring) in a very nagative form.

ok so in a previous post i told all of you a little bit about my inlaws and what they put my husband and i through.
i asked all of you if you thought it was ok to keep them cut off and out of our lives, if it was the right thing to do.
many of you posted and stated that you thought my husband and i were doing the right thing and i thank you all for making me feel better in my decision.
You know, they can't hurt you. When you feel upset, feeling someone has hurt you, you hurt only because you choose to let them hurt you. Don't give them your power.
Feel sorry for them. They are lost.
Best,
Bryan
i've done research on the subject and realized that it really is talking about whoredom when its referenced in the bible.
any other points regarding that word?
We had new topic on this lately, but search seems abit slow this morning.

Makes me sick!
you know we hear it all the time.
witnesses are persecuted by satan, and this is one of the signs of the 'true religion'.
they love to quote wwii and the concentration camps, but really only 5,000 died versus 6 millions jews.
The new January 15th Watchower (for dubs only) states:
"Anointed Christians have met and will continue to meet severe opposition from Satan's world."
Okay, so the 8,000 anoionted Brothers & Sisters are being severly oppresses... where and how?!
Delussionus Persecutus Complexus
Give me a break.
Can any Witnesses here tell me the last time he heard of an anointed person meeting SEVERE OPPOSITION?

Cognac,
This was the first forum I ever posted on, period. It was difficult because you have a few people who feel emboldened, at times, because they can hide behind their computer.
The last burn here about the woman who died of cancer (who never existed) has people on edge.
This is a great place, but as in any family, sometimes you just wish they'd chew their meat and shut up.
Glad to have you both here.
Best,
Bryan
haven't read the posts on the other thread yet - will do so asap.
in the meantime, had a long day myself, did not got for a walk, worked nine hours without a break!
busy day, had breakfast, only a yogurt for lunch, was glad to come home and have a bowl of cereal.
I started my diet on Tuesday. Nothin' but meat baby!
I'll let you know how it's going next Tuesday.
bryan
i have read the new wt and am thinking of going back.
i believe a lot of the teachings and i see what is going on .
i just feel a lot of confusion right now.
I went through that. I was back in for two years before I got out for good.
I really don't understand how you believe the teachings. The UN thing and lying about paedophiles and not viewing them as victims doesn't bother you?
The best to you that brings you the most internal happiness.
Bryan
