  Child sex-abuse database?

  by Jerohobobonadad in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  hi all.. just read the post about the court ruling in california.. i may be remembering incorrectly, but when that tv programme about child abuse was aired in the uk (early 2000's), i think the spokespeople denied the existence of a database.

  my elder dad was also adamant that there was no database and i am 110% certain he was not lying to me.. how do we know it exists?

  what is to prevent the wtbts simply destroying it or hiding it amongst one of it's corporations either in the us or abroad?.

  A THANK YOU to the board

  by Jerohobobonadad in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello again.. i just thought i'd say "thanks" to all of the contributors to this board (and other boards/ websites, but mostly to this board).. i only started looking on the internet for info on the wtbts about 2 months ago.

  for years i had huge doubts about the org, but no facts to rationalise these doubts.

  some individuals have obviously spent many hours going through the societies literature and researching the history of the org and made this research widely available on line.. i can only imagine what it must have been like 10 or 20 years ago if a "witness" had doubts - where would you go to find out the facts?

  Strange Experiences

  by Jerohobobonadad in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello all i hope you are well.. i've had very strange experiences recently.. i've had discussions with a few friends, who i would never have thought would say anything against da troof, who agree with all i've said about the inaccuracies of the org and said things i hadn't realised.. i've had discussions with one of my siblings and they said they didn't believe any of the wtbts teachings, then later that week had discussions with my parents with sibling present, where sibling has sided with parents and disagreed with everything i've said, even though they agreed a few days before.. i've had discussions with a friend, who hasn't been to meetings for ages, say how disappointed they were with some of our friends who have stopped going to meetings.

  the friend could only talk about when the big a would come - why don't they go back to the org then?.

  i have learnt recently to never be amazed by the ability for rational humans to state beliefs in private, yet publicly say the absolute opposite.. i feel as though i'm on the outside looking in when i talk to these people.

  "Worldlings" - What was your opinion when you were in the Org?

  by Jerohobobonadad in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello all.. although never a fully paid up, dunked member of the club, i was at times very keen on the whole jw thang.. when i was in, i thought all worldly people were lying, cheating, alcohol and drug addicted, sex obsessed gambling criminals who should be treated with ,at least a very high degree of suspicion.

  as per the classic pictures in the 80's books - all women looked like hookers, all men were pictured smoking or with a whisky bottle.. did others here have similar opinions.. i remember being 8 or 9 and my idea of a worldly man was a picture in the pale blue (creation book) or the red one (dunno the name) - i'll try and scan the picture i mean one day, it's brilliant.

  it is a chap with a black moustache and a white shirt sat at a circular table looking all forlorn.

  What's the deal here?

  by Jerohobobonadad in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello all, i hope this post finds you well.. i was wondering - the same hardcore dozen or so posters seem to be the only ones who reply to and start topics.

  looking at the member directory, there are loads of members, but most do a handful of posts then disappear.

  is there just a crew of regulars here?

  Odd announcements for disfellowshipping

  i've not heard a great deal of df announcements to be fair, but i remember when i was about 9 or 10, i was visiting a friend during the summer vacation.

  at the midweek meeting, his elder dad got up to give an announcement.

  he began by mentioning a large plant, from the cities botanical gardens that had made the news, that flowered once every 50 years.
