  Is child abuse becoming the 'Benghazi' of exJW's?

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i've been noticing a trend recently that seems to becoming prevalent in posts which i think is a little sad and counter productive where, whatever the topic is actually about, someone will be keen to remind everyone about child abuse issues within the wts.. any sort of abuse, especially that of children, is a very serious issue but i'm not sure it's prevention is necessarily best-served by brining it up at every opportunity.

  it ends up looking a little like the republican party's obsession with benghazi where they harp on about it to such an extent that people have become blind to it and it almost becomes a punchline.

  people become less and less convinced of the claims because they hear them too often.. trying to turn any discussion into including comments on it, however well-intentioned, starts to look misguided at some point.

  Maybe you've got something there. Good advice.

  It's just that child molestation and other forms of child abuse are such heinous acts that it gets under a lot of peoples skin.

  DEMONS: the torment I suffered

  when i was in my teens i wanted a room of my own, but i lived with my grandparents whose house was very small.. my uncle had been living in a little one room bed-sitter way out in the backyard.

  he married and moved away and i moved in.. it was quite isolated and the ceiling was six feet from the floor.

  unfortunately, the top of my head was four inches higher than that!

  I was terrified as young boy too by the witnesses's stories of demons the things they could do to you. Over hearing the conversations of seemingly intelligent people tell horrifying supernatural stories to each other and seeing everyone nodding in agreement can be terrifying to a young child. 

  It was about grade 5 that I read a book at the school library about Isaac Newton's laws and I asked a teacher if theses laws had ever been dis proven she said no. It was about that age when I started to feel these stories that I was hearing were all a bunch of bunk and the adults in my life were getting it wrong. At least after that I could sleep better at night LOL. I didn't have to worry anymore about the demons grabbing the steering wheel of our car and crashing it. In retrospect the biggest danger in those days was the lack of seat belts LOL.

  not that i think i have much to contribute to the discussions here, but more out of a desire to show that yet another person has learned ttatt.

  i am a fader, not discussing ttatt with anyone as i know the inevitable outcome it would have.

  People havent improved their lifespan or quality of life anymore now than in the course of human history.

  I think a lot of the natural cures are good when dealing with relatively healthy people, for example insulin therapy for type 1 diabetes has extended the lives of millions world wide who would otherwise died as children. And there is no alternative therapy for insulin in type 1 diabetics,

  Ironically, the jws only believed in certain alternative healing and completely scored others. 

  Not to be too picky scored should be scorned.

  A lot of witnesses I knew here in Canada were sure into some weird alternative medicine, Medicine cabinets full of the weirdest natural vitamins and sometimes cupboard shelf after shelf full of vitamin bottles and they were always sick or getting over something. 

  Remember the alternative medicine guy on the show Seinfeld whose concoction turned George Costanza Blue and he had to be rushed to the hospital LOL, that reminds me of the witnesses and some of their alternative cures.

  while you are sitting there reading this, there are literally hundreds of thousands of young males and females all over the world [ mostly in america / canada and england] sitting in their grotty little smelly bedrooms or flats, designing computer viruses that they will up-load onto web-sites to cause anonymous innocent peoples computers to malfunction.

  these creeps spend literally weeks,months or even years hoping to make a computer viruses that will get into peoples computer bios to completely destroy their computers.

  they never see the peoples anger, frustration and distress.... the damage can cost each person about 1,000 [ $1,660.74 ] or more to replace a basic new laptop or tower.

  Still pointing your Finger when having a Rafter in your eye?

  by DocHouse in

  yes- everyone has faults and makes mistakes; an organization even more so.. yet, you ignore all the fingers pointing at you.. many here have no faith.

  many here go to churches who lie about everything biblical; look at x-mas!.

  but at least we know god and christ and try to live up to their name!.
