although tomo's human hotdogs was as low as an alleged human could verbally go, tomo's fear-mongering was not an official video.. i'm wagering that the feb 2016 video will be pulled or adjusted.. what do you think, trash?.

What has ToMo got against garlic bread .? it doesn`t soil the bread it enhances it in my opinion .
Keep videos like these coming JW.ORG , their sure to wake more people up to this cult , it`s probably one of the best things they have done to help people exit the JW`s
Instead of being mysterious G.B. members , that held a mystique about them , they are now in full view as to what buffoons they really are .
They expose themselves as the Emperor with no clothes .

i was having dinner at olive garden with my cousin who was disfellowshipped for apostacy.
a holier than thou pioneer couple saw us.
if that was not enough i saw her take a picture of me with my cousin.
Threaten to sue those that took the pictures and the elders for stalking , if they take any action over this and make sure you name names in the lawsuit , I guarantee they wont take any action . ( you don`t have to actually do it but make the threat that you will convincingly )

this is in response to the thread about the supposed suicide of a bethelite in 1995.. when i went to bethel i and everyone else, signed a form stating that "if we died while at bethel the wathtower bible and tract society,had the right to keep our body.".
yes, we thought it strange at the time but as a twenty years old you didn't think much about stuff like that.
besides we were never going to die anyway.
You gotta be kidding me , seriously ? Is this some kind of sick joke ?
I`m with you sparrowdown , I`m utterly gobsmacked if this is true .

jehovah’s witnesses fight law on reporting child sex abuse to police.
trey bundy, february 1, 2016 .
I thought the official position with the Governing Body of Jehovah`s Witnesses , was that they did not have a Clergy laity class. Full stop.
I`m going back about 50 years now .
And I agree fully with Scully regarding the Sacramental Confession does not apply to Jehovah`s Witnesses as her/his post points out .
The confessor is one person , the priest is one other person , and no other human hears this confession.
With JW`S a confession may be made to one Elder , however it will then be brought to another Elders attention and then a Judicial Committee is formed involving another three Elders to investigate further what has been disclosed .

would the jehovah`s witnesses be a shoe in , for the most about face , flip flop , of doctrine , beliefs , and practices in this 21st century , to have previously strongly held beliefs and then for them to be discarded in their 140 ?
year history ?.
i think they take the cake .. smiddy.

i have been lurking on the site for a few months and thought it about time i plucked up the courage to step out of the shadows and say hello.. i am in the process of fading after realizing all is not right with the organization i had trusted implicitly for over 40 years.
there have always been 'truths' i have struggled to accept entirely, even as a child, but was confident that trusting in jehovah, building my faith and remaining patient would be enough to settle any nagging doubts that remained, so i pushed any inconsistencies to the back of my mind and concentrated on being the best witness that i could be.. over the last few years, however, i have been preoccupied with a number of crises in my family and stepping back slightly from 'theocratic' activity has allowed me to re evaluate a number of concerns and research sources other than the sanitized wt publications.. my eyes are now wide open - i found things which have appalled me and left me feeling extremely let down and disappointed by people i had really trusted.. i tried gently raising a few subjects with my mum (who was baptized early '70s and still remains a staunch wt supporter) but she will hear no criticism of the organization.
i understand this because the best part of her life has been invested in the religion and to acknowledge it may have got things wrong would be to recognize the last 40 years have been a vain waste.
Welcome Contramundum
I can understand you no rocking the boat with your mum at this stage , no point.
Welcome to the board by the way and take your time in your fade .
Don`t be too trusting with your " friends in the truth" it may surprise you how many want to gain browny points by outing some brother or sister to the body of elders , just be aware,
take care

my son is nearing completion of his 3-1/2 year chemo journey.
i have an appointment with his primary oncologist at the end of next month as an end of treatment exit meeting.
she and her team are leads at this particular hospital.
First off , I hope your son is responding positively to his treatment and that you and your wife are coping with the situation.
My 2 cents worth with your proposal would be to align yourself with people who have expertise in this field, such as Kerry Louderback-Wood ,who wrote an Article :"Jehovah`s Witnesses Blood Transfusions and The Tort Of Misrepresentation " in Medical Journals and has been active in giving presentations.
Also the work done by Bill Bowen `s site that highlights the inconsistency`s of the JW blood policy doctrine , rather than trying to start something on your own , add your support to some who have a bit of clout in what they do , and together you may accomplish more.
I wish you luck in whatever decision you make.

so said my pops one morning.
we were visiting my sister in eastern tennessee and the night before after everyone else went to bed pops was watching tv when all of a sudden and completely on it's own the tv changed to the tonight show, holy smokes!!
must be demons cause pops didn't change it!
Sleep paralysis , seems to be an evident explanation for me , I had these experiences , pre -teen and into my early teen years , and nothing after that .
Pre-teen was the most frightening , but why did I not say anything to my parents ? about these episodes ?
Was I afraid of being labelled a nut case ? Insane ? maybe both,
Funny I have never told anybody about these experiences before
How common is this ?
