Witnesses have been so used to mindlessly talking from the script door to door and its so good that you provided information to help them to think outside of WT parameters. I approached two brothers at a trolley to question them about their two witness policy(my 5 year old child was abused by a prominent elder and we obediently stayed muzzled for 12 years under two witness policy) resulting in a terrible mental, emotional and physical cost to our entire family. The older "brother" smug slave (who had never met me before) very patronizingly informed me I must have my facts wrong because he was absolutely sure that the brothers/ Jehovah's organisation in my case would have handled things correctly. (I am third generation family full of anointed and elders but somehow questioning them in public somehow transforms me into a stupid women). In our case I was told that the "investigating elder" took his friend the accused molester camping because reporting my child's abuse had stressed him! Never hurts to share knowledge especially to WT slaves who are under such deep mind control. Been there done that! have the scars.

Just two weeks in our new home and the knock at the door happens!!
by truthseekeriam injust relaxing with my morning coffee enjoying looking at the pictures fipper shared of the camping trip when the dreaded knock came.
of course the dogs beat me to the door followed by my daughter trying to catch them, she looks through the giant peep hole and waves me away saying "its them.
" i almost just walked away from the door when i saw the sweet face of a 5/6 year old little boy with his mom and dad and couldn't resist talking to them.. i opened the door and smiled and said jehovah's witnesses?

Is The Watchtower Corporation Getting Ready For A Huge International Fire Sale?
by Brokeback Watchtower inwith all this talk about selling existing kingdom halls and robbing the congregations of savings accounts.
massive relocation of headquarters selling over a billion in prime real estate, gobbling up property and getting all the free labor they can from the rank and file slaves to fix up these properties and donate more and more money to cover the cost.. it looks like they are in the process of some type cannibalization of its self in an effort of self preservation.. are we on the cusps of a giant fire sale as the lawsuits pile up and build pressure i suspect things will get far worse leaving many congregations kingdom halless and traveling greater distances just to make a meeting every once and a while when they have enough gas money.. with a royal charities commission inquiry into inappropriate conduct of the wt corporation and loss of charity status and the eventual loss of such operational status in one country after another things are looking very bleak for this end of the world jehovah scam cult with it 1914,1975,2000, expiration dates long past..

Bring it on! That tyrannical publishing company has distorted Christianity into what Nietzsche calls a hypocritical creed that has turned sexlessness into "purity", weakness into "goodness", submission to "obedience" and not being able to take revenge into "forgiveness". Nietzsche (the son of a line of pastors) also states that "Christianity amounted to a giant justification for passivity and a mechanism for draining life of its potential. WT cannibalizes your soul, your free will and tramples on your human rights (for its own gains). Forums like this and the Australian royal commission requires that those bigots justify their action or decisions in a very public forum. -

I cant be bothered wasting my time being patronized by someone who is only able to speak watchtower. Although I cant resist very kindly, quietly and respectfully engaging in some education re: two witness policy, ect when I see them parked with their little trolleys. -

In our submission we made it quite clear that a pedophile repeat offender in our family was protected by that cult while we had to move 2,000 klms to get way from the shunning and abuse for speaking out about the 2 witness policy. The abuser is now deceased buried "with full honors" of course. Heartening to know that I the granddaughter (3rd generation) have less value than a dead pedophile! -

Thanks so much truthseeleriam. So much for shepherds looking after "lost sheep". I felt I was a lamb lead to the slaughter. We are all so brave really they dismantle us and then we have to summon up the courage to take them on while they hide. -

In the Australian context information gathered by a Royal Commission is of the highest standard and very respected as well as widely published. When making my submission I was treated in a very respectful and professional manner with counselling offered at he end of the session. It is so stressful to speak publicly about former JW family members and friends but quoting US Judge Brandeis again " “Fear of serious injury alone cannot justify oppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burnt women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.” -

I have posted before my Mantra quoting Justice Louis D. Brandeis Assoc Justice of US supreme court "Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman." The all powerful male governing bodies distorted version of religion is a disease that causes real social, emotional, physical and mental harm not only to its it poor brainwashed victims ( I was) but to society as a whole as they are just parasites that don't contribute in any meaningful way to the very communities they live in other than piously and dutifully preaching door to door ( a very hard thing to do for lots of witnesses most with minimal education, fragile mental health and low self esteem). -

There is No Reason to be Afraid!! ( of Freedom )
by kairos inthinking of leaving the jws for good is frightening.engaging a quality fade is nerve racking!there can be horrible consequences that can leave one shunned.even the most careful fade can be undone by many means and loved ones.. one must weigh the consequences of leaving with true freedom.yes, that kind.
where you always make the decisions in your own life.. no need to be reckless and wild to destruction.
be like almost everyone else in society that enjoys life to the full and looks out for their fellow.look around you at happy, friendly people in your community.

I agree its incredibly cruel to manipulate mostly nice gullible people eager to please "Jehovah". (with a payoff though paradise) How many people have put aside artistic endeavors, children and potentially enriching friendships with worldly groups or people that often do real material good for the community. For what??? A cruel mirage. Life it too short to live a nasty little life continually putting people in sub groups worldly, active, inactive, weak, pioneer....how boring and brainwashed was I?
