trey bundy: one year of reporting jw child abuse.

it’s been one year since trey bundy first reported the watchtower’s child abuse problems.. twelve months ago the center for investigative reporting (cir) began publishing information about jehovah’s witnesses and their cover-up of child sexual abuse on their website, reveal.

just fine

Thank you to both Trey and Barbara for bringing this problem out in the open. Once the secrecy is gone the healing can begin.

This Website Was Mentioned By The Governing Body

by JW_Rogue in

okay, so at the "imitate their faith" ca there was a special speaker from the gb.

and he started discussing psalms 1:1 and how we today could "sit in the seat of scoffers".

he then mentioned that many bros. and sisters criticize the org and think they are so smart by researching online.

just fine

They act like scoffing at idiotic things is a bad thing..................

list as an accomplishment on a resume, "i escaped from a mind control doomsday cult?".

sometimes when i reflect on it, the magnitude of this accomplishment amazes me..

just fine

No, although I am proud of myself for having the strength to leave it's a personal issue, not a professional accomplishment.

A mentor I had early in my career advised against discussing it with anyone at work as it could make me appear naive and gullible, for ever having been a part of it. That advice has served me well in my professional life.

Does anyone think Jehovah is protecting the org. despite all the talk about THE ARC ?

i've been thinking this for a while.

even before the arc scandal.

it seems no matter what, the org.

just fine

A God that would allow children to be raped, molested, or abused in order to protect his "organization" is not a God I want to know.

Nope - not now, not ever. People used to trust what religious organizations said - they don't anymore, because people who claim to be the chosen ones of God are the worst liars there are.

Most Translated Website

by Pubsinger in

wt claims their website is the 'most translated' and claims over 750 languages.

but in the drop down language menu there are only about 50. so where are the others?

just fine

It must have been so much easier to lie before the Internet, now it takes 5 seconds to prove them wrong. What's sad is the people stuck in the cult will still cling to whatever statements the org makes even when faced with concrete proof of it being a lie.

Control - Whose worse, the JWs or the traditional churches?

we once experienced, the "you'll die at armegeddon," fear instilled into us as jw's.. was that worse or better than the fear of eternal torment instilled by more conventional religions?.

john spong gives his view.

I am not a member of any church, but I have visited on occasion (going with friends). The last church I went to was a Catholic Church, the service was very nice. The pastor talked about how to be better people and follow Jesus example of love and kindness. The service was very uplifting and enjoyable and there was a nursery/Sunday school program that the little ones seemed to enjoy.

There was no "OBEY or God will kill you talk" like at the Kingdom Hall.
