Compound Complex Thanks so much for sincere apologizes. We are all in the same boat. That organisation took advantage of our sincere desire to please Jehovah god (and men if we are honest) and we where controlled with distorted/unbiblical teachings. We appreciate being able to interact with fellow survivors who prove by their behavior on this site that they are far from mentally diseased, demonized persons not fit for the company of jehovahs witnesses (thank goodness). So gratefull that you use this forum to share your extensive knowledge (which is power) WT loss is our gain! It works toward a healing for my family so thank you for posting and continuing the good fight. Mustn't let all those years of theocratic ministry school training go to waste! thanks again!

When I Was School Overseer . . .
by compound complex inwe were instructed not to give public counsel to the students, but to use the two minutes alloted afterwards to supplement, from the aid book, the subject matter presented by the students.
the following information on jehovah's answering of prayer came to mind when replying to another thread moments ago.. doubtless, our viewpoint on this and other scriptural matters has taken on a new direction -- if any at all.
having worked on this bible dictionary while at bethel, i retain a fondness for it.

After a prominent elder on a shepherding call opportunistically sexually assaulted our small child we protected him via the 2 witness rule. AID TO BIBLE UNDERSTANDING, "The Answering of Prayers," page 1331, paragraphs 2, 3 sound quite innocuous and put the onus on the publisher. Interesting that gods timetable of 12 years wasn't long enough for us to demonstrate the debt of our concern, intensity of motive. (completely emotionally shattered living on antidepressants knowing/waiting we would not be believed until another child was sexually assaulted) Heaven forbid we pressure Jehovah god into action to protect children in the congregation he evidently takes note of the extent of concern shown among his servants as a body(the local body of elders not too concerned he was there best mate),. We must be Too apathetic for Jehovah s clean organisation so reported to police and submitted to Australian Royal Commission.

---------------------------------thanks sally, jesus is directing the org and all decisions and instructions to us may not seem practical from now on, neither will we understand the reasonings behind many of the changes that the organization makes.

So good for the witness couple aproached by friendly, well spoken young persons such as yourself willing to engage in a respectful exchange of ideas. Great to give those still in cult mode (who we once where) the chance to change..........thanks! -

I don't know current stats per/male female but sisters get no respect in that cult!!!!
"You know, scientists say that the cranial capacity of a woman is 10% smaller than that of a man so now this shows that she's just not equipped for the role of headship. Her role is one of subjection to the man. Her role is that of submissiveness and that means that she should recognize that she is a woman and be glad to be a woman. Never want to be what you are not equipped to be. ... Sometimes we hear her say, "oh if-if-if-if I-I were a man I'd do this and I'd do that as if to be wishing to be something that she is not designed to be. Do you know what that borders on? That borders on homosexuality. And do you know what the Devil is doing nowadays? He's taking women who want to be men and makes men out of them. ..." The Value of Our Theocratic Sisters" Samuel Herd, Oakland CA 1971

I was encouraged not to let my kids have posters on walls of sports stars ect/ because of idolatry now this!!............
The US Holocaust Museum states: The Hitler Youth and the League of German Girls were the primary tools that the Nazis used to shape the beliefs, thinking and actions of German youth. Youth leaders used tightly controlled group activities and staged propaganda events such as mass rallies full of ritual and spectacle to create the illusion of one national community (assemblies)

Are the Governing Body broadcasts promoted at Kingdom Hall meetings?
by nicolaou ina question for those still attending i guess but are all these new jw.telemuppet.org broadcasts advertised to the the rank and file or is it more of a background thing?.
i'm wondering because i just can't believe my 70 year old die-hard jw mum would ever see them if she wasn't sat down in front of a screen and someone clicked 'play' for her.
i really want her to see the wizards behind the curtain.

I know of a community organisation that arranges for older/lonely members of the community who don't get but need more human interaction to come together as a group for "eating with friends" to meet mix/laugh and eat at different venues with varying menus....
Disgustingly, the LAZY WT society offers offers older ones/lacking computer skills a couple of hours of sitting watching some moron drone on and on and on electronically. What is loving/ healthy or wholesome about that????

Do you feel embarrsed?
by The Rebel inwhen you look through a keyhole, and see the person you once were?.
as for myself, i am just pleased i have mended my ways.
i realise ( now) my time as a witness was a keyhole that looked in to the ground, and licked the elders arse.
