okay i'm so excited, i'm celebrating valentines day today!
i walk into work this morning (normally a sterile office filled with boring engineers like myself) to find everyone clad in decorative hearts with streamers hanging from the ceiling and heart shaped goodies in the kitchen.
had i walked in on this last year, i would've kept my head low and tried to avoid all conversation unless it was strictly about work.
Freedom is not a dirty word , you should be able to do what you want ( lawfully that is ) without having the thought police saying NO you can`t do that
J.W.`s hone in what you can`t do according their rules , it`s more like a dictatorship.
Good for you Steph.

just watched this remarkable documentary about the exclusive brethren here in the uk.
their shunning policy is remarkably like watchtowers policy except even more extreme.
its heartbreaking how families are torn apart by such man made policies based on their interpretation of scriptures.
So what would YOU suggest Simon with all due respect .? Jehovah`s Witnesses , Mormonism ,Exclusive Brethren
etc , . etc, with over 40,000 Christian sects where do you start ?
And that`s only Christendoms religions , what about all the rest ?
It`s too big for one Country to tackle , it is only something that a united approach from a quorum of World Governments could achieve. If they have the willpower or the incentive to do so .
Surely in this 21st Century Religious superstition has run it`s course .

,
what is the word for jw religion?
is there any other religion that doesn't have a word?
catholics => catholicism.
i've been thinking this for a while.
even before the arc scandal.
it seems no matter what, the org.
Fisherman ...,Elders and MS, committed these crimes and they , the powers that be ,the G.B , .Legal ,dept. did not in any case in Australia , or in any Country overseas , did the Elders report Child sexual Abuse to the Law Enforcement Agencies , it has always been the policy to treat these situations in-house , and not to involve the police , social or child protection Agency`s , because they never did so .
It also has to be noted that individual publishers in the congregation have been involved in child sexual abuse that the Elders have been involved in judicial Committee matters within the congregation and again it has been dealt with in -house , with no involvement with the police or Child protection Agency`s .
We don`t want to bring reproach on Jehovah`s name .
So nobody in the Elder , Ministerial , Governing Body or the Legal Department ,ever notified the police or Law Enforcement Bodies or Child Protection Services of the Abuse against children under their care,.
And they never ever warned the public of a potential sex offender in their midst , who could still go door to door in the ministry ,failing the 2 witness rule , nor did they ever warn their own congregants of a potential sex offender in their own congregation .
And that remains a fact to this day.

i could really do with some advice on what's acceptable when you leave.
we have left of our own accord about 6 months ago.
we didn't celebrate xmas this year but have just celebrated my daughters birthday.. a friend of mine who is still a witness told me that an elder had approached her and asked if we had celebrated xmas and that if we did it was a df offence as is classed as apostasy!
You can always beat them to the punch by DA yourselves from the cult , in other words you DF them .

tor1500 ,
Welcome to the the real world , the ARC is an Inquiry into Institutional Abuse of Children by Organizations ,and as has been covered , can only recommend action be taken by the Judicial system where they see fit.
The ARC has no power to prosecute anyone itself .If they do make such a recommendation to the legal profession to investigate someone , it can take months or even years for this process to come to an end , one way or another .
The law moves at a snails pace , that`s the reality of it all .
Fisherman , how long has the Catholic Church been in , not only Australia , but the whole world , and they too are only now undergoing this scrutiny along with other organizations ,?
It`s long overdue.
