  "observador" the leading online daily newspaper in portugal, published today an in-depth investigation about the practice of shunning by the jehovah's witnesses.. starting with the ongoing petition that i have submitted to collect signatures, the investigative reporter tânia pereirinha details how the branch is organized, who is who in the local branch office, the history of the organization, the pedophilia scandals, interviews lawmakers and the person responsible for the overseeing of the law of religious freedom, and the focuses on four life stories of people who were shunned.

  one of those stories is of our very own tj curioso, who posts in this forum.. https://observador.pt/especiais/eles-mataram-me-em-vida-o-inferno-nas-testemunhas-de-jeova/.

  "they killed me while i was still living - the hell of jehovah's witnesses" is the name of the article.

  I understand and accept your statement about the insertion of the divine name made by the Watchtower in the New Testament.

  My purpose was not to address all the divergent points, but to focus on what seems to me from the most shocking and aberrant doctrinal point of view.

  Although the insertion of the divine name into New Testament passages may be questioned, this in itself does not (from the Christian point of view) put the salvation of one concerned.

  And that was exactly the point I wanted to show in speaking of Jesus' mediation. I used the New World Translation exactly so there was no basis to claim that I was not using arguments that they themselves might disagree with in citing another translation.

  I think "to sin" must be by excess and not by restraint. I believe that anyone reading the letter, either by the Judicial Committee or through the link that I have shared can have good results. Already today I received several positive comments, among which I highlight this:
  
  "Carlos, your disassociation letter is so clear and pointed and rational while still being kind and empathetic, so inspiring. I sent it to my faded sister last night, who was still held by so much guilt, doubt, and self judgement from our upbringing. She read it and said it really opened her eyes and she no longer believes the jw religion is the truth. Thank you so much".

  Thank you for your words. I know it is most likely that this letter will not be read in its entirety. But I wanted to express exactly what I felt about this organization and only sinned by default.

  When I have the audio ready and translated into English, I will also share with you (yes, I recorded EVERYTHING!).

  Hi to everyone!
  
  I was summoned to the Judicial Committee and went.
  
  It was a respectful conversation from one side to the other. In the end I handed the dissociation letter in hand and a binding to each of the elders, with an article I wrote on the subject, "Are Jehovah's Witnesses a Destructive Sect?" where I analyze from the scholarly point of view of psychology, psychiatry and sociology the phenomenon of destructive sects applied to the Watchtower organization.

  PORTUGAL: Filed a petition to the parliament to erase the legal entity of the Jehovah's Witness

  by EdenOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  based on legal arguments that revolve around violations of several articles of the portuguese constitution, and of the law of religious freedom, a petition to the portuguese parliament has been set in motion to extinguish the legal entity that represents the jehovah's witness in portugal and remove this community from the national register of recognized religions protected by law.

  the petition does not seek to ban the jehovah's witness as a whole in the country.

  the petition denounces the institutional policy of shunning former members as a violation of basic human rights and psychological torture, and asks the portuguese legislators and judicial authorities to take action to stop this abuse, and suspend legal recognition to the branch office entity until the policies of shunning are changed.
