are the perpetrators abusers or an abusive organisation?
Both. The organization itself is abusive, and it also gives individual abusers a safe haven in which they can flourish.

Abusers or abusive?
by ozziepost in.
many are the accounts we read of abuse suffered at the hands of jws.
we only have to read the personal experiences forum to realise that, with the experiences of emotional and mental abuse, the bullying by elders, and so on... still, it begs the question, are the perpetrators abusers or an abusive organisation?

Being a JW is not conducive to getting a good education. Neither is being addicted to crack.

The GB actually communicate with the Annointed from the Heavens
by gumby inya think i'm kiddin ye bastards?.
i wonder if the governing body actually hear the voices of the resurrected annointed ones.
does the heavenly bride of christ whisper, or talk normal, or do they do it by "silent suggestion" in which they move them to a conclusion or answer so they'll all agree.. what about when they have to vote on things cuz they can't agree?.

It all depends on what they're putting in the kool-aid.

Can someone help me decide what to do?
by Kaylen incan someone give me some feedback on what they would do in this situation:.
last weekend my best friends husband told me that three years ago he caught (and spied on for about half an hour) my husband and my very best friend "getting hot and heavy" (his words) in our spa and that he watched them because "he found it hot".
the three of them decided that they would not tell me and kept it a secret for the last three years until he told me (because he was drunk at the time).

Sorry to hear about this. You are not overreacting at all. Being intoxicated doesn't justify what they did. It's a cop out. You were betrayed by your husband, best friend, and her husband in the worst way. Their conspiracy of silence was not to save you pain - it was to save their own asses, and adds insult to injury. If I were in your shoes I doubt I could ever trust any of them again.

So, Why are YOU mad at the WTS?
by Seeker4 ini've been thinking about this for a few days.
i'm pissed at the wts, but not like bitter or vengeful, but more like the "i'm sick and tired of it and i'm just not going to take it anymore!
" kind of pissed.

Because they are abusive, and they work to keep their members too stupid to recognize how abusive they are. They are a hemmeroid in the rectum of mankind - a pain in the ass, but in the global scheme of things, they are less than insignificant.

EMail response...to pro-JW article...
by upside/down ini sent this response to an email...it was in response to the article here on jwd about "jehovah's roofing service" or something like that... .
anyway...i've recieved a couple of unsolicited witnoid (thanks tetra for that term) emails and this is one of my responses...with their post at the bottom.
i accidentally deleted an even better one...a 77 yr old witnoid "sister" who automatically called me a liar and that it must be my fault that the "brothers" treated me unkindly...as jojoba would never allow that....yeah right!

I've exchanged some emails with some of these guys too. One even went so far as to suggest that my ex, at 4 years of age, was in the wrong and brought the sexual abuse upon herself.
And people wonder why I have problems controlling my blood pressure...
