then i recall when they were building the molson center in montreal where the montreal canadiens hockey team would be playing, and i was thinking to myself, "they will never play there.....cause the end will come first".. .

I was a true believer, but I never could understand how the society could say that the preaching work was near finished.

I mean, come on, the general world populance doesn't know Jack shit about the JW's.

And right here in the US, where the religion got it's start, most people still don't know Jack shit about "the good news"

child abuse cover up

by looloo in

i wonder if anyon on hre can give me some advice , my daughter was abused by an ex jw , it came out in court that he had abused other childrn when he was serving as a ministerial servant years earlier , the elders knw about those victims and never reported him to the police , the judge called it a coverup , there were no press in the room so it never made it in the papers which i was very angry about .

had they reported him years ago he would never have been able to abuse my daughter , and i want an apoligy , i have tried to discuss it with the elders but they all mak out they knew nothing , which makes m wonder who it was that reported the abuse to london hq bethel as that was said in court .

do you think if i wrot to them we would get an apology, his wife who used to be a close friend is supporting him, and his jw family , i feel devastated by this, the cps did not persue the 8 charges for my daughter due to lack of evidence , even though he took my daughter and another victim to the same place, which his wife must just think is a huge coincidence, they critise the catholics for keeping hush hush about abuse but do the same themselves , i wish i could talk to another mum of a child who was abused by a jw , i cant talk to the other mums involved in our case as i think they have been told not to talk to me , i am not a jw but am married to a disfellowshipped man .

Welcome Looloo!

You will never get an apology from the society, they do not apologize for anything.

If you are not a JW, they will want nothing to do with you, they will see you as under satans influence.

If you are a JW, they will find a way to silence you, even if it means kicking you out of the congregation.

Their image is more importatn to them, then individual members are.

I was abused by my stepfather, the elders told me their was nothing they could do for me because there was not two witnesses to the abuse. And they forbid me to tell anyone else about it.

They sent me back home to live with the abuser, and never inquired about my welfare again.

They have no natural affection.

I am so sorry this has happened to your family.

by inactive? in

i would like someone to discuss some issues i have.

i understand all are welcome here, so i am sure some elders or former elders could help me.

i was a pioneer for 7 years, before that i was a regular auxiliarry pioneer for 3 years, i have been a witness for 17 years.

Thank you snakes, i think that was needed.

Inactive, I sent you a PM.

BTW, I always tried to be a good little dub too, and I have heard that expression used by active JW's.

The only thing more ridiculous then how your elders are acting is how you are acting!

They are treating you like shit, without explaining why. Why do you keep going back for more?

Still cleaning these peoples toilets is just wrong! Stop it!

Tell me, exactly how bad does a person have to treat you before you walk away? This is a serious question.

They obviously want you out of the congregation, do you think there is anything you can possibly do that would change their minds? It doesn't appear so.

Leave, walk away.

Quit cleaning their toilets and spend that time writing your daughter a letter. Use all that extra time and emotion on your family.

The further you are away from them, the happier you will be, and as a bonus, you will actually be able to think more clearly.

Would the blood ban be lifted if more men were dying of blood loss?

by Gill in

the watchtower did not wait too long to make factor viii a conscience matter for haemophiliac men.

i believe it happened inthe late 1970's but i'm sure someone would correct me if i am wrong on the date.. but, the blanket blood ban continues and women are still dying in childbirth unncecessarily around the world because they are jws.

if the boot were on the other foot, would blood transfusion be a conscience matter by now to keep jw men safe?.

aSphereisnotaCircle

If the blood ban affected old men the way it affects young women who have just given birth.

yeah, their would be a blinding flash of new light.

Those disgusting, pieces of crap, GB members don't give a shit about women, their newborn babes, or their other children.
