due to the fact there are about 27,000 members of this religion that are known pedophiles, and the information about it is kept in a secret database file, i wonder how many lurking jw's as well as others are aware of the severity of this problem?

remember, it's 27,000 pedophiles that they know about.

what about the thousands that don't get caught?

BAD_WOLF- Wow. So sorry to hear that you knew of many young ones being molested in the JW organization. 50 % of the young ones you knew ? That's a lot of abuse victims !

This WT organization's leaders need to be held accountable , it's disgusting. There have probably at this point been hundreds of thousands of child abuse victims worldwide in the WT Society's 139 year history since 1879. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

LV101- Hey, yeah, thanks. Yeah, we've all suffered way too much with this JW cult. You and me both are confused as to why the government won't crack down on religions like the Jehovah's Witnesses, Catholics, etc. when it comes to child abuse. The US government lets freedom of religion evolve into criminality - and they still won't do anything to condemn criminal conduct by religions. It's like all organized religions get a free pass on criminal conduct. I totally agree with you that it's barbaric that the government doesn't demand religions obey the law. I mean- just think of how many JW's have died through the years due to the " no blood " transfusion policies. A good guess would be thousands of JW's worldwide have died due to WT leaders policies. And how much or how accountable has the government held WT Society liable for those deaths ? ZERO. So we do have the government to blame to a fair extent for not holding religions liable as much as necessary. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

It is now 2003.... Where is Armageddon?

i find it extremely amusing how each year is passing without armageddon.

"for the year 2000, i visualize a world transformed into a beautiful paradise!

but i don't think that either the present world or its rulers will live to see that day.. we are living in the last days of the system of things.

" It's now 2003 ( now 2018 ) .... Where is Armageddon " ?

Answer : The same place it always was - non existent. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Were You Close To Your Non JW Family?

i was thinking of how little i know about my father’s side of the family.

i recently inquired about ancestry.com and i’ve come to the realization that even the closest sides of my family via my father, are unknown to me .

what a shame that jehovah’s witnesses kept us apart.

flipper

Oh, and by the way, I do research on Ancestry.com and I've gone back 500 years on both sides of my family , if you get a chance to do it Minimus, I highly recommend it. Fascinating experience.Peace out, great thread by the way.Flipper

I was very close to my non-JW grandparents. My parents didn't become JW's until they were in their mid 20's . My non-JW grandfather taught me how to fish as a boy and how to swing a golf club at age 14 on the driving range. We talked baseball, and were really close. Same as both of my grandmother's, they were always interested in what us JW grandchildren were doing- in spite of us being JW's.

Fortunately my JW parents didn't avoid their non-JW parents and I got to know them well. In fact, I give major credit to the man I am today to both sets of grandparents and give credit to my JW mom - who never shunned me when I finally left the cult. I've have been able to get to know my 1st cousin now these last few years , a non-JW , and we get along great.

I always experienced much more authentic caring and love from my non-JW relatives than I ever did from my older siblings, or other JW relatives. None of my JW family ever calls me to see how I'm doing, I've always had to call them. Then they act really put upon or bothered that I called. It disturbs them that this non- Christian sibling of theirs could ever act more " Christian " than any of them. They can sit on their thumbs and rotate for all I care.

I'm not going to lower myself to their level of behavior just because they want to be assholes. I'll take the humane and peaceful route. I don't pursue their friendship but every 3 to 6 months I'll call to see how their health is. My mom would have liked me to do that, so I occasionally check on my siblings. Peace out, Mr. Flipper
