  Where did the WTS condemn the Catholics for pedophilia?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i did a search of the publications - perhaps i used the wrong words, though i thought i used the correct combinations.

  i can find plenty of condemnation of catholic church, but nothing that specifically condemns the catholic church for the pedophilia issues within.

  i was sure that they had done so over the years - but was i just reading my jw taught judgementalism into articles that weren't specific?.

  How much control does the WTS really have?

  by dozy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a theme regularly running through ex-jw / apostate posts is their conviction that the worship of jws is at best of a high control basis or at worst exhibits cult-like tendencies , so they often delight in the freedom that they now enjoy.. but in reality , how much control is exhibited on the average witness?

  to take one example , at least 40k are dfd in an average year , and one would assume 3 - 5x this figure are reproved privately or publicly.

  that means that over a 10 year period 20% - 25% of jws are seriously flouting the strongest moral code of jws , usually for immorality , emphasized in wt after wt , meeting after meeting.

  What Actually Made You Leave The "Truth"?

  by minimus in

  for me it was a combination of things over a long period of time.

  being raised as a witness, you do things by rote.

  but when you see sooooooooo many watchtower inconsistencies, mistreatment of the "brothers", elder abuse, and simple lack of love, it begins to make you start seriously thinking.

  what's in it for the women???

  by chelsea in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have often wondered what's in it for the women???

  i just read the story of minimus and it is so clear that such power and privilege on offer to males in the borg would be enticing and probably addictive... but the women will never have such offers or opportunities.

  they will always be required to be in subjection.

  Need some Gardening Tips

  by Yizuman in

  2. friends

  i just finished hoein' the garden bed, loose soil and all.

  i have bought 4 bags of lily bulbs, each bag has 6 bulbs each.

  i have sought info in regards to gardening from various people, but the main question i have not been able to get answered is whether or not any kind of weed killer (chemical or otherwise) can harm lilies if i sprayed on them by accident?

  CULT LEADERS & 'APOSTATES'

  by DannyHaszard in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  cult leaders, in religion and politics, demand fealty.

  san francisco chronicle - san francisco,ca,usa.

  it seems that nearly all cults follow a predictable program: there is the charismatic leader, who is dynamic and promises love and paradise for his adepts.

  Last week, Fox News interviewed some man who said he is the 'reincarnated' Jesus Christ. The commentator didn't make a big issue because he knew it was ALL bull. It was however interesting, especially when he questioned him about the amount of money and property he owns.
