Kudos: for those of you who awakened with you significant others. You are so LUCKY!!!

by goingthruthemotions in

like the title says....those of you who made it out with you husbands or wives.

you people are so lucky!!!.

lucky because your wife or husband isn't brain dead and can think and reason for themselves.

I am really sorry to hear about your situation goingthruthemotions. I know it doesn't help a lot but you're not alone. Even for those of us whos spouse didn't wake up but also isn't a complete WT drone have had our relationship changed and aren't the same. It's painful and it hurts to watch a relationship get damaged or completely crumble over religion.

Please hang in there and keep sharing your thoughts on the board because you're not alone. There are so many here that have lost so much - this can be a great place of sharing and healing.

Run brothers run for the hills!!!! Those girls are trouble I tell ya!!

Sex is not worth it!!!!

Imagine the years and years of limited conversations about pretty much nothing!!!! nothing I say!!!!!

discuss politics? NO

discuss religion, besides how great we are? NO

discuss world events, besides how bad they are? NO

have a free flow of ideas and thoughts about life, love and God???? NO NO and NO

Ok I think I need a whiskey and for the record I dated a lot of dub girls just like those back in my day and know of what I speak. Find yourself a moabite mama or canaanite cutie (bethel terms).

JW EXPERT WITNESS FLOORED BY COMMISSION OF INQUIRY LAWYER

by steve2 in

much has already been written about dr monica applewhite, the expert witness hired by the jw organization.

her job was to provide "expert" testimony to the australian commission of inquiry into jehovsh's witnesses' policies and practices on child sexual abuse.

astonishingly, dr applewhite was unprepared for the inquiry lawyers' questions.

I hope the UK charity commission is watching and learning...

The Assyrian started to attack from Australia

by opusdei1972 in

the gb has been preparing the flock for the assyrian's attack, that now is starting from australia:.

elders, you can learn some helpful lessons from what we have just discussed: (1) the best thing you can do to prepare for the future attack of the assyrian is to strengthen your faith in god and help your brothers to do the same.

(2) when the assyrian attacks, you must be completely convinced that jehovah will save us.

"Report it to the elders if you hear anyone in the congregation talking bad about the GB"

by hardtobeme in

last night and elder gave the bible highlights at the congregation.

he talked about apostasy.

and among other things he said: "report to the elders if you hear anyone in the congregation talking bad about the governing body".

The more things like that get said from the platform the crazier they sound to newly interested ones. Even some (probably not many) long time dubs might feel uncomfortable with rhetoric like that.

Will Child Abuse Issue Keep Growing Like A Forest Fire?

i don't know if a commercial will come up and i can't find this on youtube as it is probably copyright material or i am just not in a good search pattern today.

I wish this issue never happened and I wish it wasn't the achilles heel of the witnesses - because this is a terrible terrible thing and no one should have to go through it. I hope the victims that have been silenced by their own doubts and fears or by elder bodies and family members find that they can come forward and be heard and get real help from trained professionals. And I hope that in the process the WTS goes completely bankrupt!

I agree - let's turn the silent lambs into roaring lions!!

I never thought anything like this would happen to the dubs - I am so happy that this Royal Commission is so thorough.

Even if current witnesses won't listen or believe what is happening this is going to have a definite affect on future non-children recruits.

JW Reaction to Royal Commission Reports

by maksutov in

has anybody confronted any jws with the royal commission reports on the news yet?

i showed my 8-year old daughter a newspaper headline about it, and when she told my jw wife that the jws in australia were in trouble for not reporting over 1,000 child abusers to police, her response was "oh, really?

well, i don't know what the rules are over there.
