New Monthly Broadcast - BE LOYAL! - Shut Up and Sit Down!
by ttdtt inthe new broadcast is - predictably - about being loyal to the gb.it's a shut up and sit down message.. one of the funny things they keep bringing up is the correlation between the gb and moses.those who don't listen to the gb are like korah.. this is a false choice, why?let's look at a quick comparison.
(this is from the point of view of the bible).
was moses directly picked by god?- yeswas the gb directly picked by god?- well no, we actually are not told how the gb are picked and why the qualify.. did god talk to moses?- yesdoes god talk to the gb- no, they admit they are not in direct communication.. did god inspire moses to write laws and judge.- yesdoes god inspire the gb to write laws and judge.- no, they admit they are not inspired, and they are always wrong and need to change things all the time.. did god give the israelites undisputable proof that moses is his channel?- yes, many miracles visible to everyone one around happenddoes god give jws undisputable proof that the gb are his channel?- no, there is no proof, actually contrary.. was moses ever wrong?- nohas the gb ever been wrong?- every time.

Latest UPDATE UK Charity Commission investigation
by Watchtower-Free ingood afternoon,.
i am writing to give you a quick update about our ongoing statutory inquiries into safeguarding and charities linked to jehovah’s witnesses.. as you may know, one of our inquiries is into watch tower bible and tract society of britain.
we opened this inquiry in 2014. watch tower then initiated what turned out to be protracted litigation against us.

Bumping this thread because it is really important that as many victims as possible come forward with their experiences of family shunning, domestic abuse and child abuse etc. the charity comission has to show proof that the WT policies are damaging and therefore the charity is not beneficial to the public, with actual case studies, the more the better.
i am providing my experience of mishandling of domestic abuse and my kids problems with the bad association rules and difficulties leaving leading to depression etc. I urge more to do the same.

by zeb ini am writing to ask for your help in progressing our inquiries into the watch tower bible and tract society of britain.
as you may already know, our work is divided into two parts.

I've just replied about my experience in a JW abusive marriage, I went to elders several times over the years and was told to be more submissive, work on my Christian personality and that the abuse was not bad enough to justify separation. Thankfully I eventually woke up and left the abusive relationship and the abusive religion. It never became life threatening in my case, although left a lot of damage on me and my kids. Nevertheless the elders current way of dealing with this could easily result in vulnerable young women being sent back into potentially dangerous situations, and I hope this commission changes that.

I'm so sorry for all that you've been through and the lack of human compassion and support that your received from the elders. I would not be surprised AT ALL if there are some very senior members of the WTS on this list that they are so anxious to conceal, from the top down it is otherwise inexplicable how unwilling they are to protect the victim, in cases like this even seeming to prefer to support the perpetrator and to demonize the victim and their family.

I feel frustrated
by BlackWolf inhello all, things for the most part have been somewhat better for me because my parents haven't talked about baptism or anything recently.
i got a scholarship to go to art camp for a few weeks which has been fun (since its free, my parents didn't refuse) but it has also been very nervewracking for me.
i haven't been around any non jws for more than a year and its like being in a different world, a world where people are actually real and genuine and not mindless drones.

I have 2 teenagers who recently left the org and me too, partly what woke me up was seeing their struggles with the strict bad association rules and the very real detrimental effects it had on both of them. I can only tell you how they handled this problem.
My son wanted to leave like you from about age 14, he would make friends at school etc and wanted desperately to go out with them, he was very 'normal' and popular (not what they want you to be at assemblies), always befriended them on social media, texted them, played online games etc, he would tell them his dad was really strict and he wasn't always allowed out but he didn't give them the whole religion back story, not unless he became very close with 1 or 2.....then he started to make excuses to meet up time to time for a 'school project', he then started sneaking out, in the meantime being as friendly and normal as possible during school hours. The results was that when he made the break he had a big group of friends waiting to greet him.
There were lots of rows with his dad, lots of nights in crying alone, lots of hidden texting and sneaking out....but as his mum I could see all this and the fact that he just didn't have the friends he needed in the org, and worse, when it became clear he was struggling, the witnesses started to shun him (even though he was still doing his best to be a good jw) It was a very painful 2 years for him but now he's out and I am too.
