"your cong accountable"- I'm a ubm, never been a jw, I would never align myself with such a disgraceful organization masquerading as a religion claiming to speak for God.

"Read the threads about df."- how about you reading about people who were actually molested and raped by jw's and then had to go sit in a meeting where the abuser is up on stage preaching! and there are even people who's own parents are yucking it up after the meeting with the abuser who they know raped their child. It is unconscionable that anyone who is an abuser is put in a position of authority or even be amongst law abiding people much less telling people how they should be living their life.
Yes, these abusers often do admit to their crime but if they cry about it enough and say how bad they feel they often are barely even marked. If they do get df'd , big deal, they go sit in the back of the hall for 6 months, cry some more and all is forgiven by the elders. The entire congregation and non jw's should know this person is a pedophile!
A rare time I talked to an elder he admitted allowing a pedophile back into the congregation and knocking on our doors. Why? there were not 2 witnesses to the crime. I think he has since developed a conscience because he seems to have gone missing. Perhaps he is on board like this one.
Some day you will have a dark night of the soul and I wish you well; because your constant sticking up for this ungodly perverted child pedophile protecting cult is sickening. Even you one day will see that you have been complicit by attempting to justify their mere existence.

Let The Right One In (novel)
by LoveUniHateExams inso, i've already posted stuff about the 2008 film of the same title, directed by tomas alfredson.. i rate that film very highly, so i thought i'd treat myself over the xmas holidays with the novel by john ajvide lindqvist.
the book is a lot darker in some aspects - the film sensibly tones down the paedophile desires and exploits of haakan, the girl vampire's carer.
nobody wants to see that kind of stuff on screen.

Nisan 14 or not?
by LostintheFog1999 inif jesus memorial meal is meant to follow on from the jewish passover celebration, would someone explain to me why the jehovah's witness community are holding their "lord's evening meal" on tuesday 4th april; when the jewish community are not holding their 2023 passover until the 5th april 2023?
doesn't this mean that the jehovahs have got their date wrong?.

Don't they always have it wrong? someone once explained it to me but it is lost in the nonsensical files of my brain. Hopefully someone else can explain.

You do understand they actually go there to reject the body and blood of Christ? (as it is known in much of Christendom)

If you were a jw in LA in 1995 would you have read the article? Were they as dogmatic as they are now about not reading or looking at anything not printed by the wt/gb back then?

Can people not read? - I realize it is frustrating when searching for something but remember others do not have everything at the tips of their fingers at a moments notice. Where have you already searched?
It is out of the goodness of people's hearts that they give answers at all, be kind when you can. Many here will take time to search out specific jw quotes to help you and out of interest of others. When they do it is a favor granted.
Have you googled, jwfacts.com, ex jw reddit, ex jw sites, youtube's? (just to name a few)

How far has Watchtower and the GB of Jehovah's Witnesses gone to stalk and silence critics?
by Balaamsass2 inwe have all watched some of the documentaries about the church of scientology hiring detectives to stalk and harass their former members,( their "apostates").
i have heard of individual cases of rabid jw elders stalking ex-jws, and of course, one would expect some enforcement of corporate copyright infringement on anti-jw websites.. what were the most outrageous jw "stalking" or investigation stories you remember?.
tonight's 60 minutes into ebay stalking a middle-aged couple who writes a newsletter reminded me a lot of the menlo park congregation watchtower "takeover", closure, and stalking of local elders to mind.

I remember a story from here and sorry if not completely accurate as it was a number of years ago. A guy who left the org was living with a woman they broke up and he joined the military. I think he was stationed somewhere and he got a message from his old gf that some elders came by her apartment looking for him. She was never a jw if memory serves. Anyway he sent them a picture of himself in his camo to let them know to leave the woman alone. If he still posts here maybe he can elaborate. I thought it was outrageous they would go to a non jw house looking for someone.
Another story from here years ago- some elders were trying to catch someone behaving badly and set up like the cops on a stakeout outside their house and down the block for an extended period of time.
Stories of elders going to people's places of work to have a discussion. They have no boundaries!
There were so many stories about how elders acted it made me nearly paranoid when my jw joined up. Like elders sticking their foot in the door of a jw who missed meeting or even walking in while a woman alone was coming out of shower in towel, he was there to shepherd her? Elders who took it upon themselves to 'help' a single mother by putting the kids to bed! what the hell? yes, you can guess how well that worked out.
So many stories, what a crazy bunch they can be.
