  by Terry in

  i had my previous toshiba laptop plugged into the wall five days ago when a sudden electric storm drove a jagged bolt of electricity earthward and fried my hard drive.

  i posted my sad status on facebook.

  guess who saw it?

  Can I pick up a New World Translation from the JW London head office?

  by Camperdown9 in

  i'm an anglican and not a jehovahs witness.

  what i dislike about lots of church congregations is their readiness to make unpleasant and unhelpful comments about other christian groups.

  recently someone in a church tried to tell me a little about the views of jehovahs witnesses.

  Be careful what you ask for. Cults manipulate people.

  I am losing

  by NoMoreHustle in

  i haven't posted anything for a bit, but wanted to express how i am losing this battle.

  it has been over 3 years now since i woke up about watchtower.

  the battle that i am talking about is the tug of war with my wife (i adore her immensely), watchtower is winning, she simply will not give in to my so-called negative thoughts about the religion that we are in.

  Do you have to play the game or can you agree to disagree? As spiritual head, you could say you refuse to lead her astray and yet you won't force her out because of your respect and love for her.

  Then leave off snarky commentary and pick up a new hobby or language when she's off serving the Borg.

  Please don't raise kids in the Borg no matter what! Parents have to put kids first.

  It'd funny, I have seen churches disband because not enough supporters could pay the rent/utilities(uncompensated pastor). Members just joined another church and had to travel a bit more for services. There was disappointment, but not life changing upheaval.

  This thread is just a reminder of the fact we were truly in a cult!

  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

  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.

  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!

  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

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.

  2. scandals

  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

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  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.

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