  Psuedoscientific Things JWs Say

  2. beliefs

  i distinctly remember more than 30 years ago asking my grandfather how all of the races came about after the flood.. "well, noahs three sons were black, white, and oriental, and thats how all of the races came to be".

  wtf, i thought to myself, even as a 9 year old kid.

  a few years later i remember sitting in the kh listening to the sunday talk when the speaker went over the old "water canopy" theory, but of course presented it as fact.

  Trying to differentiate between blood 'components' and 'fractions'. It's all blood!

  Leaving a Cult - Hollywood v Reality

  by Mickey mouse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking today about the classic scenario of someone leaving a cult; steve hassan's experience is a good example.

  when he left the moonies, he had a loving family on hand to support him emotionally, physically and financially - protecting him from the daily demands of normal life whilst he recovered from the psychological trauma he had been through.. sadly for jws, this is not the case, and especially not for us born-ins.

  we have to make our exit whilst alienated from family, usually whilst having to continue going to work, caring for children and dealing with the strain placed upon our marriages.. .

  Jehovah's Witnesses - A Child's Story.

  by Sic Semper Tyrannis in

  millions of children have grown up as jehovahs witnesses.

  lets start from the very beginning.. i owe my life to jehovahs witnesses.

  more important than what he was saying was who he was.

  As I look to people with the same experiences as I have had, I realize that the ex JW community contains one of the few people on this planet that I can truly relate to. I cannot eliminate Jehovah’s Witnesses from my life, as much as I would want to. They are always there, and nearly every personality trait that I carry today has some root in this upbringing. Instead of isolating myself, I’ll embrace it. Ex-JW’s are my people. We don’t all think alike, but we have the same foundations.

  I too can relate to this so much. Thanks for sharing your story.

  Do YOU Believe That JWs Have A Huge Problem With Pedophiles?

  by minimus in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i don't think there are more pedophiles in the religion than there are in others.. i understand that one is too many.

  but i think some believe that it's an epidemic within the organization.

  i believe their 2 witness rule can help pedophiles secretly abuse kids.. but i don't think that this particular crime dominates those in the religion.. .

  Not particularly, I just think their zeal to protect the image of the org is greater than their zeal to protect children - which is all wrong.

  How do you view human authority?

  by sabastious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  between 1 and 100 rate how you respond to human authority.

  where 1 is being in favor of anarchy and 100 is being in favor of humans having full control over your life.. me: 25.

  It appears that I am being hunted down (visited by two elders)

  by maninthemiddle in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  recently two elders caught my wife at the door while i was away.

  they mentioned the need to talk to me about something on facebook.

  yes, i know how facebook can be, but i choose to use it anyway.. the strange thing is, i just spent a alot of time looking at it, and nothing is publicly available, so unless a one spouse of an inactive jw is looking at it, i don't see how they were able to get this information.. anyway, that wasn't my real question.. i haven't been to any kh in over 2 years, i haven't seen the elder (24 year old) in about two years and don't even know the other (he is recently out of bethel, but older 50ish?)..

  Victoria, Australia: Brief Update - Steven Unthank is still Acting Prosecutor, etc.

  by AndersonsInfo in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  court hearing results for december 6, 2011:.

  steven unthank is still the acting prosecutor (and that's why he could not comment on the case on the"dialogue" program), and all 5 cases are still before the courts.

  the crown informed the court that the office of public prosecutions are "acting as a facilitator at the moment"; and that the police investigation is "quite well progressed"; and that the police are awaiting response from the department of justice.. .
