a jobo i know has cancer.

her son goes and cleans her house and generally cares for her.

so does another non-jobo relative.. the congregation, interestingly, has shown very little support apart from the odd one rabbiting on about 'bible promises this and that'.. so, the co visited and said, 'but your son is an apostate(tm).

LHG - Very sad. Amazing to what extent the Sheeple JWs go to for the religion. They want their god's blessing and everlasting life to the point they nix their own lives.

Yrs. ago I read that a team of psychologists determined the JW religion was one of the most successful, highly, effective, mind-control, organizations, around. The magazines brainwash and the rest is all the meetings, etc. I get why the freedom of religion is important in this country but people need to be protected and know the facts before they sign their life, family, monies, away. I watch the Oxygen programs and can't believe my ears - it's worse than I ever thought.

road to nowhere -- oh wow re/"end of life directive" -- it's been obvious for decades what this is about. Believe me, they'll have to deal with about 8 trustees (re any JW heirs of mine) and probate hitters - they're getting nothing of mine. Anything left after heirs (dolled out via trustees) will go to the dog shelters. I've heard from professional bethelites how they run their legal in - (they're nothing but hawks) to grab the estates when people die.

No time spent outside of making money for the cult - no humaneness, kindness, compassion - just recruiting and donating money to WT - just run along the family member is going to die anyway and let the worms take care of it. They love it when the elderly have no JW witness heirs or the cult has nixed any lineage out of the equation -- the Gov Goons inherit more money - more whiskey, designer suits for old goats, silk ties, vacays, design services for their hotel-room penthouse. Has to be quite an expense for maintenance money for the wives' images alone. I highly doubt they still shop at flee markets (unless the witness shuffle from their Saturday service is still in 'em) and the majority are probably aging so not cheap. Takes serious money - pricey. How many bars/clubs do they have in the compound (mini country club) or do they imbibe alone in their high-rise cell. No Christmases, Valentines, Birthdays, etc., etc., when that money can be dumped into the cult's beg boxes. Holidays aren't more fake than their supernatural crazy and delusional death promises but the minions hang on to the fantasies - on and on. Plus the peer pressure fear of losing their friends/status.

Society has certainly failed humans - so weak.

Good info to the poor cancer victim. No one outside cult does understand (it's that crazy cultish) but you can't believe the questions asked by non JWs when they hear of the horror the religion does - shunning and a son not being able to care for their mother! Just horrific.

I heard yesterday that the expose was being advertised on several stations to those in US that have DISH satellite services. DISH is one of the 2 major satellite cos. available here besides COX. These people all didn't view the Oxygen/JW program (one did for a while) but were commenting and at least it's in the general public's eye. I don't know how popular DISH satellite is - most people I know are linked up with Direct TV or Cox which is under Direct.

How sad. It's one, powerful, very, wealthy, cult - clearly not hurting for money. Have so much they can continue choking people. They care less to comfort the sick and suffering. Even circulating to local news would probably just hurt the son/Mom but I'd sure scream it out if the cult returns with their rules. In fact I'd be making preparations/contacts immediately - not that anyone can stand up to them. Just sick.

For those of you who've watched the Witnesses documentary, let's suppose for a moment that...

by My Name is of No Consequence in

for those of you who've watched the witnesses documentary, let's suppose for a moment that the org was forced to make their database of abusers available to the courts.

if this database is as detailed and meticulous as it is claimed, how in the world could the org (in its present form) survive that?

assuming they don't go bankrupt after all of the new abuse claims, would they go underground, shut down the kingdom halls, stop the preaching?

LV101

I believe Mr. Zalkin has received many database files from WT - he has locked, file-cabinets, of them. That's progress, however, I don't know how many. He's under court order not to discuss but obviously reads/reviews for his cases. WT database files are confidential but don't think that means sealed. Religion and it's freedom to run on people - amazing.

The future of the Watchtower Society

i left way back in 2002, seems a long time ago now and i haven't really kept up with any developments since.. i've kept one ear open and noticed recently there is talk of the wt being investigated over the sex abuse cover ups, but over the years this story has come in and out of the news.. what is everybody's predictions as to the future of the borg?

i know what most people want to happen, but realistically, are we just looking at certain elements being hit because of the restructuring they did a few years ago to protect from this very thing?

looking further ahead, you'd like to think that more people would wake up?

Cult's heyday is over in this country (presently) other than real estate development/flips and illegal immigrants' infux, It will take yrs for the senior die-off - their offspring & their lineage to bolt.

They've one heck of a schtick (everlasting life on earth is a winner and never dying - tough to beat) and there's no shortage of hurting individuals - life is difficult/painful so one mammoth harvest awaits their next fantasy, recruitment episode.

Hopefully, legislation will be passed to protect the innocent from the criminal cult and FaceBook/stations like Oxygen, etc., will help spread the news - it's come a long way. Politicians should prove that they care about the children and people of the country instead of the filty rich corps.
