Awake No. 2 2019 - Way To Destroy Your Childrens Hopes And Dreams Watchtower!

not that i spend much time on the cult's website, but i like to skim through their latest propaganda to make sure i'm up to date with their nuttiness.

(and when i say skim, i mean just that.

the wafer thin, dumbed down content can be read in like 2 mins flat).. i just had to share my thoughts on the above piece of trash.. no.
Atlantis

I know what you mean!
When I was 7 years old I was left "alone" on a street corner with a bag full of Watchtower and Awake magazines, and I was expected to place every one of them.
If I didn't place them all, I got a good talking to and no play time for the next day. My parents guilted me into thinking that Jehovah was not pleased with me.
The magazine day was usually on Saturday, and all I wanted to do was build tree forts with the worldly kids. But that's not the way things worked out.
I was expected to be MR. THEOCRATIC and step to the tune of the rest of the rank & file.
I had no choice but to follow or pay the consequences.
Many on this board remember those days.
It was....obey or get your ass whipped!

pale.emperor:
I don't see in the list where the Watchtower includes:
"A kid should be a kid"! Or have a childhood. They want kids to actually be adults and act like adults. They want kids to get right in step serving the Watchtower with the rest of the rank & file.

JW`s Religion are being investigated by { how many} ? Countries for there handling of Child sexual Abuse .?
by smiddy3 in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
i`m thinking about the last couple of years but more importantly there seems to be a greater number in the past year than never before .. off the top of my head i think i could name about 6-10 countries.. does anybody have any stats on this ?.

and is it only the issue of child sexual abuse that governments / countries are focused on or are their other issues that they are being investigated for ?.

such as charitable status ,do they really qualify ?
Atlantis

smiddy3:
From what I have noticed the 3 main issues causing unrest in several different countries are:
Child Abuse
Shunning
Blood Transfusions
And since the Catholic Church has gotten so much bad attention lately, all the other religious organizations are under the microscope to.
In the last few months I have noticed different areas of the United States, Netherlands, Ireland, Mexico, Russia, and a couple more in there somewhere, all mentioning child abuse, or claiming the WT is extremist.
On the shunning topic, there are just to many JW's who are in good standing that refuse not to speak with a family member who is disfellowshipped. Many associate with DF family members secretly.
Some JW's don't give a damn what the Watchtower says and they associate with disfellowshipped family members anyway.
Others who are really hard nose about it shun family members like the plague.
It's the "hiding of child abuse" that seems to get people mad enough to have smoke coming out of their ears. Then when JW's see others in the congregation being disciplined for mentioning the SCA topic, things begin to click in their minds that maybe the apostates were telling the truth all along.
Then the first thing you know they start to investigate.
Lets face it, JW's are tired and worn out from the constant whip of their task master the Watchtower. The stress,pressure, and burdens put on JW's by the Watchtower is enough to give someone a stroke or heart attack. Constant guilt that they are not doing enough, or giving enough financial contributions.
I mean....hell they already took the kids ice cream money!
Going to grab some tea.
