No, it just means that they have given their self righteous priggishness another checked box.

Almost three months since Crisis of Conscience Cease and Desist

by ILoveTTATT2 in

jw
friends

i am very interested in getting crisis of conscience being fully available as soon as possible.

march 12th will mark exactly three months since the cease-and-desist letter was written.. i understand that things are slow and that deborah may be sick, but i was just wondering if anyone knew the status.

i have been asked twice already where the book can be obtained in spanish and i have told people that the book is not available.. there are ways to make ebooks extremely hard to share.

JWdaughter

I hope it's available soon. I appreciate your reasons for feeling urgent. I left around the same time as franz and his book was a validation for me. I got it in 86/7? Wish mom would've read it! When was it first published? I looked so hard for back then! I lived in NYC. Man, that takes me back!

ralph candelario is a jw.

he murdered his jw wife (his second wife) around january 2014 in walsenburg, colorado.

10 years ago his mom was arrested for putting her grandson in a dog kennel every night for 3 years. That's where he came from. She thought it was the only alternative to the boy running the streets while was at work. http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/grandmother-accused-of-locking-grandson-in-dog-kennel-charged

Greg Stafford no longer a JW

by My Struggle in

this may be old news to some while most won't even know who he is.

in case you don't know him, he was a jw that defended many of the jw doctrine publicly.

he did this mainly in the form of two books, jw's defended and three dissertations on the teachings of jw's.

last I read there was a divorce and estrangement of all kinds.

here is his blog from Jan 2016: http://elihubooks.blogspot.com/2016_01_01_archive.html

Part 3- Finale- Settlement Meeting with Circuit Overseer

by Randy M. in

this is the finale of my meeting with watchtower's circuit overseer henry turner in an attempt to reach a settlement agreement with some kind of resolution .

if you watched the 1st 2 parts you will need to see this because it is in my opinion the best part.

i have also included more still shots of the players so that it will be easier to follow.

Right or wrong, it is easy to see how people are discouraged from reporting to proper authorities.

Loud Fence [s]

by geevee in

hi all, whilst i have been a member of this forum since 2004, i have slowed down in my visits and comments.

i have called in to ask if there has been any discussion on the "loud fence" campaign that is to be seen vividly around our home town of ballarat victoria australia?

there are many catholic institutions around this town that have had ribbons of many colors looped onto their fences in support and acknowledgment of child rape/abuse and also as survivors.

JWdaughter

I say make the fences around the KH's "loud" and see how the R&F respond to it. Or how long it lasts.

Went for my first legal session today.

by umbertoecho in

the arc are indeed a patient lot who don't pressure.

they make sure a person feels safe.

they don't hold back with legal information either.

JWdaughter

I hope that you continually connect with those who comfort you best in this process. Take care of yourself. I know this is hard and I have barely done any of the work that I need to do regarding previous abuse and separately, my experience dealing with the WT after the abuse. There are a lot of us who care what is happening to you and hope only good things for you as you go through this.

A faded JW about to see the Circuit overseer

by pleaseresearch in

so my mum who is in and really is finding it hard that i have left and faded.

shes asked me if i want to the the circuit overseer next week.. i have never met him and this is more my mum wanting me to get my problems i have with the organisation out.

but should i share everything i've learnt or what?.

JWdaughter

I second Dagney. Thats the most loving response you can give her without giving in. Bless you for caring about her feelings in this. Sometimes we get so angry that we are ready to toss almost anything associated with the org-but not most moms! If she is still talking to you, do your best to reasonably keep that relationship. The older she gets, the harder the reality of the WT failings will hurt her. None of them will help her! I am keeping my relationship with my mom because though I don't "need" anything from her, I love her and worry about her well being. I have been tempted to let her issues hurt me and our relationship irrecocably before, but ultimately, they are our MOM's!

Animals were created without needing Toilet Paper ... but not Man ... Why???

by RubaDub in

my dog and other pets do their "business" and run away and are happy.. man does not have that luxury.

any thoughts on why animals were created with the "poop and go" capacity while man has to go through more steps?

was this perhaps an additional issue that god added on when adam and eve sinned (such as eve having significant more birth pains)?

JWdaughter

Animals don't wipe, but humans don't want to smell like a filthy toilet. Not complicated. We wear clothes and sit on furniture, neither of which they do, unless humans let them(ew, another conversation).

I have seen animals in the wild and they can be kinda raunchy smelling/looking. Even on a not so well kept farm animal you will see filth. Some animals lick themselves and then lick you. EW.

The difference is that we care. Not that our bodies need more wiping.

umbertoecho re the ARC

by umbertoecho in

hello to everyone.. i hope you are all well and sorting things out between yourselves.

i have temporary internet access which is probably a good thing for now.

i have been contacted by the arc in a respectful and loving manner today.

JWdaughter

The organizations, religious a.d secular are indeed facing the consequences of their action and inaction. Which is as it shoud be. There is no overreaction, rather, it is the proper reaction, compounded with the interest of time and the damage that built up in the souls of the victims and the escalation of crimes which could have been prevented. This is the only justice many victims will get.
