@A believer people are held captive to this horrid cult and that's why they have to pretend to be Jehovahs witnesses and go to the horrid cult meetings. leaving the religion has huge ramifications. Ps if Jehovah sees all how come he does nothing about the child abuse cover up with in his so called organisation?

Jehovah God is Real
by TakeOffTheCrown inthere are many on this site that do not believe that jehovah truly exists; that he is not a real being.
but, he is as real as next breath you draw into your nostrils.. some of you say that there is no evidence that he exists.
yet, none of you can prove that he does not exits.. cofty, (you come to mind), i appreciate that you have stated, without reservation, that you do not believe that god exists.. yet, you cannot prove it.. hope in jehovah..

Yahweh (/ˈjɑːhweɪ/, or often /ˈjɑːweɪ/ in English; Hebrew: יהוה) was the national god of the Iron Age kingdoms of Israel (Samaria) and Judah.[2] His origins are unknown, although they reach back to the early Iron Age and even the Late Bronze:[3] his name may have begun as an epithet of El, head of the Bronze Age Canaanite pantheon,[4] but the earliest plausible mentions are in Egyptian texts that place him among the nomads of the southern Transjordan.[5
If you want to believe in Yahweh shouldn't you know his history?

Tell your cousin to tell the elders that geoffrey Jackson said under oath at the Australian royal commission that they don't pursue inactive ones. why would they go against what the GB says?

Islam is pure evil. Why on earth would a decent human being join this filthy, murderous unpeaceful barbaric cult?
Anyone who takes heed from a pedophile prophet is just as evil.
Your prophet fucked a 9 year old little girl and yet you praise him and his evil book

Some recent baptism figures in the UK - is there a "bounce back"?
by freddo inwell, round my way (south of the uk) all the way up to and including the regional conventions this summer, baptism numbers have been extremely low.
but i have just received news of three recent circuit assembly days where the figures seem to be higher.
(all have been across the last three weekends at a uk assembly hall in october).

That is not impressive baptism numbers. Thank goodness, although it would be better if there was zero baptisms.

New, but needed to vent- thank you :-)
by Danni Jackson ini discovered your website this morning as i was trying to find some information about 'marking'.
you see a very close friend of mine was 'marked' earlier this week and as i know the ins and outs of the situation (as we are close friends) i disregarded the talk immediately as i know my friend is obviously having issues but is no way a 'danger' to anybody else's spiritual health.
basically they are dating a non-believer- hence the talk.

I was born into this religion ( cult) I can tell you this is not a isolated incidence. jehovahs witnesses are a high control group, your life is ruled by them. There is no allowance for individuality or individual circumstances. It's a one size fit all and if you deviate you are punished.
I have seen it all. From child abuse cover ups, markings, disfellowshipping for questioning or disagreeing, family break ups, children dying and kidnapped from hospitals to avoid blood transfusions ( in the 80s), false prophecies and pure lying.
As a honest person who values truth and justice I could no longer support this evil cult that forces families to shunn their own blood and encourage conditional friendships, I left and allowed my natural instincts to take over.
I think you are coming to that realisation that this organisation is unjust. I have seen so many good jw's come to this realisation and left the organisation. When something smells rotten it usually is rotten.
I encourage you to research what is supposedly Jehovahs organisation has done in regards to child abuse. How they really take care of their victims 😉 see if it is in line with your instincts.
You also need to separate religion from God. I notice that you imply this organisation to be representing Jehovah God. These are assumptions and also a very elitist view ( no fault of your own as watchtower drums this arrogance view into its members)
Jehovahs witnesses do not have a monopoly on God nor are they the one true religion ("the truth") after all if they have lied and falsely prophesied countless times through out their 140 year history I doubt they are the truth.
I wish you well and hope you truly research with out rose spectacles and be honest to yourself and those you love.
Ps clear your browser history everytime after you visit here. We have had many on here that were being spied on and were caught and then punished for visiting this site. Please be careful....
Pps be a true unconditional friend. Your friend will be feeling humiliated, degraded, ashamed and lonely. An act of loving kindness can save someone.

" World conditions" omg is he serious? Sure we have Islamic terrorists and political problems but world conditions today are more superior than our past years. I once asked a jw which time period would they prefer to live in? I asked them would they like to live in the 15th, 18th century or todays world. That jw responded with today's world, well world Conditions are not that bad are they 😉.
Then he went on about homosexuality being accepted I then again said historically we have has periods of rife homosexuality eg the ancient Greeks. So how is this any worse? ( not that I believe homosexuality is wrong)
These people have serious mental illnesses and like to blame everything on world conditions and love believing a fairytale that it will all magically dissappear and they will instantly be happy. Deluded..

Extreme rules on Dating – is this for all congregations?
by Bonnie_Clyde injust found out that in the congregation we used to attend there are two young brothers, both are sons of elders and recently engaged to girls in neighboring congregations.
instructions are that they may not sit together at assemblies or meetings.
but get this….they can’t even ride in the same car even if their parents are also in the car.

I had that same experience. Although I was allowed to sit next to my boyfriend I was not allowed to call him my boyfriend, kiss him till our wedding night, nor was I allowed to stay at his parents house for dinner past 9 pm, or look at my fiancee as if I wanted to have sex with him. he was not allowed to kiss me when we had our engagement, and the night before our wedding when we had to go to the wedding reception to finalise details I had to sit in the back of the car while he drove because we had no available chaperones. we were chaperoned heavily ( which had made me lie on many occasions so we could have alone time, oh and we never had sex during those times, I was a good jw) I then was told to not kiss on my wedding video so I wouldnt bring shame on "Jehovah" and our worldly relatives would see how clean we are.
I disobeyed all of those rules.
I am very happy with my partner. We are best friends and have left the jw's together. In the end we won..
