  The Memorial

  by TheDoctor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i saw some mention of this in another post, but i wasn't sure if there was a topic about it.

  being raised in the "truth" its always pointed out that even people who haven't been to meetings in years still come to the memorial.

  ive noticed that a lot of time that is actually the case.

  a lot of people do go to the memorial for their families. thats probably the only reason i would go.

  Wow, the year is 2008, and still no Armageddon!

  every time we enter a new year, i think about how i wasn't supposed to make it this long.

  i really believed we wouldn't live past the year 2000, and armageddon would change everything.

  it almost strikes me as living on borrowed time, but then i remember that armageddon is a story, not a reality.

  Program jws have to locate each other in emergency

  did anyone hear about the special program the jws had or have for locating each one of the faithful ones when the great tribulation occurs or something like that.

  my jw mom who passed away in 2006 was going on and on about this but i didn't want to ask to much.

  i would get an earful of preaching then.

  i seem to remember the lists.. addresses and phone numbers of each and every person that they passed out to everyone in the congregations back in the day.. That could just be lists too though.

  Have You Ever Reported An Abuser?

  by sweet pea in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  just wondering if any of you ever decided to report any kind of abuse, however small an incident it was.

  tonight i reported an incident of 20 years ago to the authorities.

  a man came up to me in london on the pretense that he was recruiting for christian dior and to cut a long story short we arranged to meet the next day for an interview.

  I was molested by my uncles when i was a child. They were not witnesses. It happened from the time i was a baby until i was about 8. I never told anyone. Years later i found out that these same uncles had been hurting 4 of my other cousins. All that time i had thought that i was the only one. When i found out that they had done that to the others.. it killed me. Especially the thought of them hurting my baby cousins.. whom i adored : (. Long story short i got together with the other cousins and we reported it to the police.. later going to court and testifying. Both of the uncles went to prison. It was a very difficult time for us all. But we got through it.

  I did tell her to give him my number when she talks to him again. But apparently that may be in months and months.. he is sporadic in his contact with her apparently.. so i thought i would try this way as well.
