Long last letter to dad...please comment-not mailed yet
by dawg in

dad, .

i doubt youll even read this letter since it comes from your son, a son youve abandoned over your religious views, but i wanted to write you one final letter to see if theres any hope that you can come to your senses as far as this religion goes and we can renew our relationship.

im doing this because i care for you and mom deeply and feel very much distressed that you two refuse to see anyones opinion as being factual other than your own when it concerns the jw religion.

The Future of the Watchtower Society and the Internet
by DT in
1. jw
2. friends
it seems that the watchtower society was very ill prepared for the advent of the internet.

perhaps, some of the governing body thought the end would come before it became a big problem.

now it is a big problem and is only going to get worse.

greetings gang!.

today is st. patrick's day (i'm irish) and a new project has begun in apostate land.. gary busselman and i are going to start a radio talk show on the internet.. we need your help.. i know nothing of the technology of doing this.. i have a lot of experience on regular radio interviews and talk shows.. as far as i know i am the only "called on" cult expert los angeles, so the news services are familiar with me.. here's what i have in mind and what i need from someone out there.. first the name of the show.. we are thinking the buss and watt show: "what we meant to say.".

(watt was my nickname in the pressroom at bethel, given to me by thomas cabeen).. it will be hosted at www.armageddonokies.com .. i choose a subject to discuss, for 45-60 imn.. we have callers.. no doctrinal issues discussed whatsoever.. the theme is social behavior with a humorous bent.. don't need ideas for what talk about or who to have on or what to say, but.... i need advice on the technology of creating a talk show on internet using existing services or whatever would be best.. i already have an audience.. i would sincerely welcome your comments,.

What Does Being an Adult Mean for Young Women?
by Praying4Justice in
1. jw
2. friends
my daughter was 18 when the jehovah's witnesses encouraged (and pressured) her to move out of her home because i would not allow her to go to any more book studies.

they went to work and found an apartment for her to move to.

she now lives with this older bitter and mean jehovah's witness woman.

Mr. Flipper Talks with Bethel Legal Service Desk Rep About JW Child Abuse
by flipper in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
well - i had been wanting to do this for a long time , to question a legal department representative at bethel about the child abuse settlements and jw child abuse, since last year when the news came out about it.

especially since my dad , an elder for years was never aware of it and has on his own taken steps to see that families with children are informed if a former pedophile is in their congregation.

i was curious as to what the current views and policies in place are .

How Jehovah's Witnesses Control Your Mind - Controlling Your View of Truth
by flipper in
1. jw
2. friends
for those of you, newbies or perhaps others who haven't read steve hassan's book - " combatting cult mind control" here are some very important things to remember of how jehovah's witnesses and other " mind control" cults operate .

it may help you to understand some things to see how we were all faked out at one time in our lives.

hassan's book states , " in totalistic cults , the ideology is internalized as " the truth ", the only "map" of reality .
