BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?

by Black Man in

jw
friends

i often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.

while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).

a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.

Bumping up this thread, lots of old friends mentioned here.

Inside NYC's Social Club for the Former Devout!

by truthsetsonefree in

i am very proud of this video and article.

this marks the going public of a community that i co-founded with my friend todd kadish that is very important in new york city, indeed for everyone.

especially for those who have escaped from some very controlling organizations a chance to integrate into the real world while still feeling validated and avoiding bitterness.

Thanks guys...it's amazing the reception to this article. We have even started getting inquiries on our interest in doing a film project from a major producer! I have also been touched by the response from people who were never in a cult. Sadly so few know the damage these groups can cause.

OMG! I just watched this. This announcement was a long time in coming. His body language speaks volumes. They are having significant money problems. How is the work expanding if they are reducing branch sizes? This can only signify that WT is having real problems.

WT Lawyer trying to force His Honour to allow Miss Apple to garner more info showing how good WT is

by umbertoecho in

hello to all who are watching.

his honour is being tested by wt lawyer in the last thirty minutes of day 4. the lawyer wants to bring in updates on the societies handling of child molestation cases.. his honour tells the lawyer that if he "lawyer" wants a contest between who is better than who....forget it.. his honour is slightly pissed off as wt lawyer just won't back down and insists that this evidence is very important and........"progressive" ( i think ) his honour then continues to tell nice wt jerk type lawyer, that if he thinks this will dispel all that happened to past victims..........think again.. i rough summary but fairly accurate people......god, that wt lawyer is a hateful lying, scheming son of a bitch........

truthsetsonefree

I just saw that! I loved the way Eugene McClellan handled that. All the JWs want to do is change the subject and glorify themselves rather than admitting to how backwards their policies really are.

Hundreds of JW Child Molesters in Australia not Reported to Police- CNN News you tube

by flipper in

i felt it might be a good idea to post this so that sitting on the fence jw's or jw lurkers can see that this australia jw child abuse news of 1,006 jw child molesters not being reported to police by elders is a reality that has hit mainstream news media.

i thought this report was very well done.

here's the link : http://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2015/07/28/australia-jehovah-witness-sex-abuse-hannigan-lklv.cnn.

Thanks for posting this Flipper. I've been re-posting the video on various boards that ex-JWs and some of our local politicians can see. I'm so glad the Australians are doing this.

The Australian Royal Commission hearings on the JWs handling of child abuse begins here in the US later today. It will be streamed.

by AndersonsInfo in

the royal commission hearing starting on monday, july 27, 2015 - australian day and date - (and it could go on until august 7th depending on how many witnesses testify) regarding jehovah's witnesses handling of child abuse is supposed to be streamed.. it could be that the hearing will only be audio not video although we were informed it will be streamed.

we'll find out in a few hours.. i live in the central time zone of the us and right now here it is sunday, 3: 45 pm.

in sydney, australia, it is 15 hours ahead of us.

truthsetsonefree

I hope that the actions of the Royal Commission will be an example to authorities here in the United States. After all it's an American religion!
