NY Legal Floodgate Opens, Hits Watchtower and Boy Scouts

by GLTirebiter in

an article at churchmilitant.com [known for hard-core catholicism] discusses lawsuits filed against jw.org and the bsa as soon as new york's child victims act opened a one-year suspension of the statute of limitations.

the attorney cited in the article, irwin zalkin, has a track record of success against catholic dioceses.. "now most of you have probably heard about priest abuse and clergy abuse within the catholic church," said zalkin.

"but the jehovah's witnesses have been flying a little bit under the radar.".

Newsweek and NY Times = same? I'm not googling to verify because I don't subscribe to NYT.

A warm welcome to the many newbies who have joined and posted these past months .

by smiddy3 in

it is truly heartwarming to see so many new ones sign up to this site as most of us know it can be quite stressful at first ,because of the indoctrination we have all gone through in going on apostate sites .. the guilt ,paranoia ,fear , apprehension ,even being a judas fear, all unnatural fears put on us by a mind controlling cult.. that wants us to be captives of there religious interpretations about the bible.. however this and other sites like it are the only way we can find out about {the truth about the truth} ttatt.. welcome everybody..

Welcome aboard, Benny. This place is a real refuge and hiding place from the storm (as you've gathered) and lots of reality 101 about religion, science, you name it.

why the shunning if someone leaves?

why are they working so hard to keep everyone in?

is it money?

LongHairGal -- I prefer being shunned when I'm shopping (doing anything) because they know I'm happy and was miserable around them (what little time I forced myself )- ahhh, memories 101! You and I aren't being chased around for handouts - suits me just fine! I prefer to give/spend my money in a worthwhile way.

Has anyone read the Huffpost article posted by Anderson Info: Wednesday: Silent No More, Part 3? He certainly has a different opinion/analogy than most. Some interesting links under that topic. It's easy to find - Vidiot has bumped it forward.

I think a bunch of people have left from the sounds of it but reckon the cult is hangin' on for dear life to the die-hards. Yeah - they certainly need money and lots of money!

So many don't want to walk away from their social club or lose their families, wives, friends, etc., and the rest aren't giving up their delusions/fantasies.

The Power Of An Indoctrinated People

let's face it, thousands of people in one place together can be mesmerizing.

watching some of the videos for the witnesses conventions this last week, from all over the world you get the sense of what total brain washing can do.

happy people waving banners saying "see you in paradise.

WOW re/the comments - this page should be a billboard! If only JWs could read and screetch at the same time - would be good anti-serum for them. Brutally honest comments like these should be opening page but guess they'd scare the teachable ones away.
