  Mr. Flippers Son Anti-Witnesses to his Fanatic Witness Mother

  by flipper in

  2. friends

  so, my 22 year old son called me this morning and said his witness mom, my ex, sent him this website link- http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,313683,00.html .

  it is an artcicle about a 14 year old witness boy with leukemia who died because of refusing a blood transfusion.

  doctors said he would have had a 70 % chance of surviving to live a normal life if he had accepted blood.

  I recently had a nonwitness visiting my home and they wanted to attend the

  Sunday meeting. After the public talk my visiting relative said that the speaker

  was not very good and the talk was boring, where as my believing wife said how

  great the talk was. Those stuck in the cult and can't think for themselves think

  that the meetings are great. Once your eyes and heart are opened you wonder

  how could I have been so stupid.

  i am just so, so annoyed & sad about this shitty, creepy religion.

  i really feel for all these needless victims of abuse.

  the more i learn of how these things have happened & all the cover ups, the more i get sad that my dear wife & kids are so blinded by an evil cult that they call 'the truth'.

  I like your description of "creepy religion". That really is true. All you have to do is listen

  to the comments during the Watchtower study, or see the happiness in their eyes and

  faces when they talk about God bringing an end to this old system which means that

  the God of love will murder 99.9% of the worlds population.

  My thoughts on JW pedophiles

  by TooBad TooSad in

  2. scandals

  what disturbs me the most is not that there are pedophiles in the congregations of jw's because.

  there are pedophiles in all religions, it is the fact that the wtbts has always pointed an accusing.

  finger at the churches of christendom for not following the bible, thus not being christain.

  there are pedophiles in all religions, it is the fact that the WTBTS has always pointed an accusing

  finger at the churches of Christendom for not following the Bible, thus not being Christain. The Witnesses

  believe that they are special because they receive the thoughts of God thru the "faithful and discreet slave."

  If the WTBTS would just admit that they have a problem with child abusers, and that in the future even

  "repentant" child abusers will be turned over to the authorities, that would go a long way. Admit that they

  have given millions of dollars to people who have been abused to settle law suits. Just say that we are

  sorry for letting the flock down. But we all know that is not going to happen because they will be knocked

  off of the high pedistal that they have put themselves on and they know that there would be large numbers

  of borderline witnesses who would just stop going to meetings and how they would have to change the tone

  of the Watchtower teachings about false religion. One more thought. The media statement that the

  WTBTS gave out dated 10/15/07 that dealt with child abuse is a farce. To say "during the last 100 years,

  only nine elders have been sued for child abuse." I have two female relatives who are still active. Recently

  they told me that they were abused by two elders when they were young girls and did not even tell their parents

  because they were affraid and ashamed. To this day their parents do not know about the abuse. There are

  not doubt tens of thousands of cases that are not even known about except by the victim and the Witness

  pedophiles. The whole thing just makes me sick to realize that I have given most of my life to a religion

  that is worst than Christendom and that does not have God's blessing any more than a ground hog does.

  Midwich,

  You are 100% correct. How many have repented before the elders for being child abusers and were

  not reported to the police. Child abuse is more than a sin it is a crime. It is like robbing a store and saying

  " I am so sorry." Then you are let go by the police like nothing ever happened.

  This just makes me sick thinking about how the witnesses will continue to defend their holy religion.

  I was told by the elders and my parents that I would never have to graduate from

  high school because that end was so close. That was in the mid 1960's. Now

  my children have gone thru high school and I have grandchildren in junior high.

  When I remind my mother of her words she says "but just think how much closer

  it is now than then." You can not reason with unreasonable people.

  Former Elders and Everybody- You Are Appreciated On JWD !

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wanted to say to all you guys who were elders and everybody, at least for myself thanks for the help and assistance you have provided me since joining jwd !

  i know when in the witnesses elders and all of us probably did not get the commendation we deserved for our efforts , and it was a thankless job for elders having to spew out cult influenced counsel from the governing body, especially if they disagreed with it.

  i know i had bad dealings with elders when a witness because of unjust treatment not only of myself , but that of others , but want you guys here to know, i look at you as friends on a level basis now !

  When I was appointed as an elder I was not old enough to be an elder. That was the year that

  the Watchtower smoking ban took effect. I was the Presiding Overseer and had the job of cleaning out of the

  congregation all of the smokers. We had about 6 brothers and sisters that were disfellowshipped for

  smoking. There was not much mercy shown since they had a year of advance notice that it was

  going to go into effect the first of the year. I and the two other elders caused a lot of pain and suffering

  to 6 families. I deeply regret the pain and anguish that I caused the the ones disfellowshipped and their family members.

  At the time I felt that I was doing Jehovah's will. I will never stand in judgement of a person again in the

  name of religion. I wish that I could go back in time and undo all the harm and injury that I did.

  That is why I have my name TooBad TooSad.
