  2. experiences

  im new here, and dont know much about jw, other than what im reading.

  i have my best friend who is having bible study in her home with 2 witnesses, and she is soaking it in.

  she is very defensive and is getting more and more closed off.

  It will not be long before your friend quits having any contact with you.

  Her 'Bible' Study teacher will show her 1 Corinthians 15:33 in the Jeghovah's Witness book they mistakenly call a bible.

  Which says that "Bad company corrupts good morals" in most English language bibles.

  You are considered BAD COMPANY by Jehovah's Witnesses because they believe that everyone who is not a JW is bad company and has no moral compass even though the direct opposite is true, Jehovah's Witnesses have no moral compasses because they allow 7 wicked men in New York to dictate their so-called morality.

  If you attempt to show her any information that is critical of Jehovah's Witnesses she will reject it and believe it comes from an apostate (You).

  The best thing you can do is show her scriptures such as Luke 7:48-50, 1 John 5:12-13 and John 10:27-28 and ask her if she believes what Jesus said is true.

  "REGIONAL" conventions for 2015 - anyone been assigned yet?

  by freddo in

  2. friends

  usually by this time in the year we are getting km's through telling jw's what to wear, where to eat, where to sleep, how much to tip (and not to take all the breakfast food to the assembly as your packed lunch) and how to get to their summer conventions - nothing coming through here in good old england - how about where you are?.

  My family has known I'm an apostate

  by cognac in

  2. friends

  i found out that my husband has not only gone to the elders, but has been going to members of my family about me over a period of a few years.

  this piece of news is just so depressing.

  i've been wondering how my family knew i didn't go and thats why so many of them have becoming more and more distant.

  Why the WTBTS is liable for Sex Abuse Cases

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the problem isn't just that kids are getting raped by people in their congregation.

  the problem's also that anytime someone has "serrious charges" brought against them the elders add notes to that jws publisher file.

  and, if the elders don't take the matter to the police or, as is often the case, tell the victims families not to take it to the police either, this establishes a level of accountability.. take daniel fitzwater for example.

  i started perusing it this weekend and wish i had found it 10 years ago when i was on my way out.

  anyways, long story short, was df'd for you guessed it...fornication or "loose conduct" even though i had been a pioneer with an elder father, grandfather and uncle and no previous issues.

  Welcome eyefell4it2

  I love your handle.

  I have a couple of questions you can answer privately to yourself.

  1. Do you still believe the Jehovah's Witnesses have da troof?

  2. Do you believe that other denominations may not be as evil as the JW's believe?

  I hope you enjoy the board.

  I have been out for 10 years this month (November 18) and have more real friends in than I ever did in the JW's, unconditional friends at that.

  Some of them are christians, some are not.

  Some are even members of the opposite sex and contrary to what JW's teach, none of try anything when we are alone together.

  I saw more fornication, adultery and broken up marriages in the JW's than anythingt I have seen in the world.

  Most of the marriages I observed in the JW's were miserable and one or both spouses were very depressed and unhappy.

  Personally, I believe the denomination causes a lot more problems in marriages than happines.

  It certainly doesn't provide and viable solutions to screwed up marriages.

  Most marriages that survive are the ones where both spouses ditch the wacky religion.

  1. social
  2. current

  i was ready to vote today but i found out i had to be registered 30 days in advance, i missed the mark by 4 days.

  anyway, even though i selected a party, i was on quite a few votes going to vote for other parties.

  here is why, i was looking up the websites of each candidate.

  I vote for the person based on his stand on issues and programs.

  I have crossed party lines quite a few times in the last 10 years.

  Rick Simons vs Irwin Zalkin

  by Calebs Airplane in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  they're both doing an excellent job... but which lawyer do you believe is currently best equipped to expose the watchtower's child sex abuse scandals and cover-ups?.

  Zalkin

  He knows his shit and he knows the Watchtower's too.

  Plus, he bypasses the local congregation goes directly after the Watchtower Society for not doing anything after they found out about the molestation and because the Watchtower Society owns the kingdom hall where the perpetrator attends or attended.

  New JW Podcast Show - Amazing Interview with Irwin Zalkin!

  by God_Delusion in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello guys & gals!.

  we've just launched our brand new episode, s01e01 - irwin zalkin, which we recorded last night.. you can listen to it right here - http://www.jwpodcast.org/2014/11/03/s01e01-irwin-zalkin.

  in this ground-breaking bumper show, we interview irwin zalkin, the lawyer who filed and won this new child abuse case against the watchtower organisation, which saw the victim, jose lopez awarded $13.5 million.. i think you'll agree with me (after listening to the interview) that irwin really knows his 'watchtower' stuff!.

  Very informative and interesting.

  Can't wait for the next one.

  P.S. I hope you do podcasts on:

  607 B.C.

  UN/Watchtower NGO affiliation

  Pedophile cases against God's organization of 'spiritual cleaness and purity. so folks can see what can happen when religious leaders gain too much trust.

  It depends on how much of a threat to the congregation you are perceived to be.

  Telling just one JW what you really think and have found out can get you invited to a kangaroo court and subsequent shunning by most of your family and friends.

  Keep in mind that your friends and family are involved with an oppressive, high control group which cares nothing about indivual's feelings or constitutional rights.
