  Leah Remini to tackle JWs in new special

  by betterdaze in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  the star has a previous first-look production deal with the network to produce unscripted series following the success of her emmy-winning show “leah remini: scientology and the aftermath.” according to the hollywood reporter, remini will produce a special for the network during the break following season 3 of the acclaimed docuseries.. it notes that jehovah’s witnesses, while based on biblical teachings, have come under fire over the years for similar practices to the church remini left years ago.

  for example, practices of ousting or shunning members who have dissenting views, a blanket refusal to participate in politics and government as well as not celebrating christmas or birthdays are all things that the special will reportedly cover.

  additionally, the religion has predicted the literal end of the world several times, obviously to no avail.. .

  If it wasn't for that teacher Mr. Seaman tackling the young shooter and knocking the gun out of his hand, this would have been another massacre with perhaps 10 to 20 kids dead. As it was only one girl is in critical, but stable condition and the teacher got hurt, but will be fine. The teacher is a hero for sure.

  When are the leaders of this country going to learn ? It's sad, but we have to protect our young people more than the government - No.1 Because we as teachers & parents care more personally for these kids, and No. 2 because the government really doesn't give a damn

  Suicide note from pedophile elder's victim..

  by QuestioningEverything in

  2. experiences

  years ago at the kh my aunt attended, there was an elder from a prominent jw family who was accused of sexual conduct with several young men in the hall.

  he was an unmarried guy in his 30's who wore a terrible hair piece/toupee.

  his sister once told me he was waiting for the new system to marry so he could have a perfect wife--isn't that funny?.

  TOTALLY ADD'S statement, " We are all worth more than this cult will ever give you credit for. " Amen to that my friend , definitely.

  It's so sad that this young suicide victim's story can be repeated thousands of times within this criminal organization's WT Society history. I've personally known of several young people who committed suicide due to unjust treatment from elders due to child abuse, shunning, or other situations. It's high time for the WT leaders to be held accountable for their deplorable actions. One reason it's a good thing many shows are coming on exposing Jehovah's Witnesses practices right now. Take care, Peace out, Mr. Flipper

  at least three media venues have undertaken the daunting task of unpacking the insidious dark side of jehovah's witnesses' organization.1.

  douglas quenqua is a writer based in new york.

  his work has appeared in the new york times, wired, redbook, and cnbc.

  It's about time this nationwide or worldwide media onslaught happens. The media has allowed religions like Jehovah's Witnesses to literally get away with murder for years. But with Lea Remini's Scientology series exposing that religion and now her show will focus somewhat on the JW religion- perhaps the skeleton's will start falling out of many high control religion's closets. It's high time to pay the piper and for the chickens to come home to roost. Bring it on

  Receiving so much hate recently....

  well, as you all know, my wife (unstuck) and i are not df or da.. we just stopped attending several years back after my "apostate" online activity was found by a nosey employee of ours while she was working in our office (long story if anyone wants to know - it would have to be another thread).

  we never met with any elders - no congregation judicial activity occurred (as we would never consent to do so anyway).

  so our policy has been to be the same kind, loving, normal people we have always been.

  STUCKINARUT- You & your wife are handling this well. It's a tough situation no matter how you slice it - many of us are experiencing this shunning as well from JW family and there's no telling what's been said about me these last 15 years since I've been out of the JW cult. I feel for you both. But you just never know. One or more of our JW relatives may flip someday and escape the mind control and evil treatment by the WT Society- then like you & your wife are doing as many of us do- we will be there to assist exiting JW family when and if they escape to freedom. It's a good attitude to have as I know personally how lonely it was when I exited. Only my mom and my adult son out of all my family supported my decision. It's good to have support and it looks like you guys would do that if any JW relatives left. Keep up the good work, Peace out, Mr. Flipper

  BALDEAGLE stated " The chickens have come home to roost . "

  Man, have you got that right. I'm really looking forward to Lea Remini's show about Jehovah's witnesses. My wife and I have watched every show she's done on Scientology. This is going to be good in exposing the WT Society to a mass audience

  SLIMBOYFAT- " One striking thing....... is just how few JW survivors are depicted . I remember the old illustrations of JW's..........included huge crowds of people from lots of nationalities in a line. "

  Exacty , great point. What was the scripture they used to reference all the time in Revelation about a " great crowd of people out of all nations and tongues...... etc. " allegedly surviving this final " destruction " at an alleged " Armageddon " . Seems WT will use any marketing ploy ( like showing few survivors ) just to instill FEAR into it's JW members. Even IF it goes contrary to their Biblical beliefs . WT leaders would rather scare the hell out of JW's to keep them submissive & obedient than actually stick to any script from the Bible ( Think : Pushing the overlapping two generation theories instead of sticking with Jesus remarks about " this generation "( singular ) will by no means pass away . )

  It shows how WT leaders have been pulling doctrines out of their ass for years slinging them up on the chalkboard to make them stick. And all of their beliefs are running down off the chalkboard now into an unidentifiable goo on the floor. It's ridiculous how far they try to stretch

  in 1935 there were 63,146 who attended the memorial and 52,465 partook.

  (proclaimers book page 717).

  according to the bible teach book on page 78, it says, “since the days of the apostles, god has been selecting faithful christians in order to complete the number 144,000”.

  " Of those alive in 1935 who partook, let's say they were all 10 years of age or older. "

  How about, let's not ? You're joking, right ? Unless Rutherford was even more of a drinking deviant than we thought and insisted that the children he wrote the odd book "Children " for would get jacked up on wine at the yearly memorial . Of course, with this bizarre organization - anything is entirely possible. lol

  I just sent this video to a couple of my ex-JW relatives to show the insanity level of fear mongering involved here. JW's are indoctrinated to fear everything in this world. Even their own shadow. Even though in reality some of this stuff will never happen to them. Indoctrinated through fear with the " persecution complex " . Stupid WT leaders
