  Is Pedophilia Really A Huge Problem With Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by minimus in

  jws say they are clean and pure and undefiled and not like the world but in reality there are those that do very evil things and they either have fallen through the cracks, have gotten disciplined or disfellowshipped.. we realize that just because a person says they are a christian, it doesn't mean they will always act like one.. regarding pedophiles, do you believe that jws have a huge problem involving an infestation of pedos?

  I think the kingdom hall is filled with pedophiles. After all it's a safe haven, the people inside are naive and they protect them from the outside. We had a couple of elders forced to step down in my old hall because of being accused of this behavior but the older sisters knew of many many others that you shouldn't trust.

  Candles are dangerous. Mom no longer allows them in our dump after all, you'd hate to burn down garbage :)

  Well all those teachings already listed are just too much to comprehend but my favorite doctrine was that you could date if you were chaperoned and only if you were considering marriage. That would explain the MS's sniffing after me when I was 15 wouldn't it?

  Would You Go Back?

  by Dune in

  yesterday, my aunt was talking to one of my siblings about how things have been changing in our [ex] congregation for the 'better'.. she mentioned how a new circuit overseer has come in and is shaking things up.

  the co appointed a ministerial servant (someone, the po & secretary didn't like and i know would never have voluntarily suggested appointment) and some of the 'brothers' that have had no 'responsibility' ever are being given #4 talks.

  she also mentioned that the book study will be cancelled and the meetings are being shortened.. a ministerial servant who had a vendetta against some of the elders wants me to talk to a co and basically tell him i left the congregation [and the religion] because of the incompetence of the elders.. i'm not talking to the co and i'm not 'blaming' anyone.

  Not even if Jesus himself materialized in front of me and told me it was really the truth. Not a chance I'll ever go back. Getting DFed was my escape from hell.

  Limiting comments by kids during WT Study

  by navytownroger in

  i was told recently by a ministerial servant that the word had come down from above that from now on only two comments by children will be allowed during the wt study.

  the reason: the meetings are geared to adults, not children.

  has anyone else heard of this policy??

  Meetings would have been better if I wasn't allowed to comment at all. Oh wait, eventually that did occur! Yaaay for me !!

  I just turned 18 and I'm wanting a tattoo myself. I've thought about the traditional mark of the whore just above my butt but maybe something smaller to start out with?

  Why Don't Witness Parents Get Angry?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are a great many puzzlements in regard to the meek and servile compliance of witnesses but one area has long interested me.

  specifically, why don't more witness parents get angry at the do-nothing watchtower society?

  i can recall one somewhat deranged elder's wife who got away with demanding to speak to the assembled body of elders because she was worried that 'all of of our kids are falling out of the truth'.

  For me the thought was "discipline is love" so the crappier I was treated the more love I guess I was shown. Yeah that works really really well

  I'm a newbie too but I think it's better to be called a virgin than a newbie, I mean that doesn't count until you've gone over 100 also right?
