  Thank you so much for all you have done to download these to youtube ! I have watched them all so far and am mesmerized by the Royal Commission . They have really done their research ,and there is no way the wool will be pulled over their eyes . Justice Peter McClellan is my hero !

  Wakey wakey Jehovah's Witnesses! Your real world is being exposed

  by Half banana in

  2. child-abuse

  the posts here are flooding in on the subject of the watchtowers toleration of sexual abuse being publicised in the world media.

  sure they print and say its wrong like everyone else does but what their policies show above all is the lack of genuine, humane care and considerate welfare for its members.

  there must be so many voiceless jw victims and perhaps now they can speak out..

  Did you catch the expressions on the face of the head commissioner when he asked if the Elder followed the news ? The Elder admitted he only occasionally skimmed the headlines ,and never watched the news on TV. He really came off as being ignorant ,and yet he just smiled ,and smiled as if he were some kind of celebrity . I hope Bethel is cringing .

  The Religion Of Rejection - And Now That Includes Me

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  due to some recent developments i find myself in a new place, and at this point i've lost all of my family and fri....oh that's right, i never really had any friends in the organization anyway.

  just people that wanted something from me and a few people that i would invite to do things that occasionally said yes.

  the recent rejections of me got me thinking, so let's take a rejection inventory.. i had to reject all of the holidays when my parents started studying.. i had to reject any worldly friends that i already had.. even family became rejected, and the new religion had some place in that.. i was rejected in school and bullied all of the time, not just because we were poor and i made good grades, but for jw reasons too.

  Welcome Dubstepped !! It never ceases to amaze me how so many on this site have stories that could be my own . It is a constant reminder none of us are alone in this struggle . For so many years we ,myself included,learned along the way to accept the rejection mindset established so well with in this religion.

  Isn't it invigorating to finally say "ENOUGH !" ,and start actually listening to our inner pleadings for normalcy .

  I have an older brother that was considered disassociated at 18 yrs of age . We were expected to reject him the rest of his life . This was the catalist for me to finally question everything . By the time 30 yrs had past , I could no longer wrap my head around the idea that he was still some kind of spiritual threat to anyone.The logic that if we shun him long enough he will come crawling back for our family association (as the experience at this summer convention states ) was not coming true.....So Why continue doing it ? He was married had a great family and was doing well in life . I too went to him to make ammends and to apologize for the yrs of rejection. Now because of my stand ,my other JW brother has decided to reject /shun the both of us .The craziness just never ends .

  Best wishes and welcome to the journey !

  One of my childhood friends told me she was finally df'd because of celebrating Christmas . Her husband and children are not Jehovah's Witnesses . She was busted because of a photo of her on facebook ,showing her at a Christmas celebration with her grandchild.

  The lengths this organization will go to suck any joy from a persons life is limitless .

  We had been inactive three yrs when I put winter decorations outside our house . Nothing that screamed Christmas mind you ,just lighted deer ,a sled and some white lights around the porch railing . The Elders stopped by in no time to express how much they missed us (after three yrs ) ,and by the way are you celebrating xmas ??   I told them the lights cheered me up from the winter blahs ,and closed the door . About four months later the Elder saw me in the grocery store ,and asked if he could stop by our home for a sheparding call .....silly me said, 'Sure come on over " , **note to any lurkers NEVER EVER DO THIS it is a trap !....   I am a nice person though ,and I usually expect others to behave the same way ,they call this affliction 'being naive " !!    So a few days later this Elder and another brother stop by our house .Immediately he begins the spiel about how bad the world is ,how close we are to the END ,and how much we are missed . After some chit chat ,and me telling them I have never been happier in my life than I am now ,why would I return to a lifestyle that caused me undue depression ,anxiety and general feelings of low self worth ???   When he ran out of answers he finally got to the REAL reason for their visit . He stated ' the REAL reason we came by tonight was to ask you if you are now celebrating Christmas '.( so in other words it was not because they love and miss us after all ) I laughed and told him after three years of non attendance ,and no interest from them ....that they no longer had any right to know my personal business . When he tried again I firmly told him I would in no way be sharing my personal life with him or answering any questions about my personal business. This put him off ,and he said it was easy to write a letter of disassociation ,but i told him I did not feel it necessary for me to do anything of the sort ,and I showed him the door .     Of course this was the beginning of undue harassment ,phone calls ,drop bys ,and finally an invite to a JC meeting . I contacted the Police ,and was advised to send a cease and desist letter to the Elders . The Police Officer made a personal visit to the Elders home to explain what cease  meant ,and that was the last i have ever heard from them .

  Now my husband has created an award winning ,computer aided light ,and music show in our front yard for Halloween ,and Christmas ! It is loads of fun .
