Exactly, Phizzy! The JW's are only another religion that has gotten into serious trouble because of their church policies. Nothing special about it. Not persecution. Not their godliness driving the "world" to madness. The drive to appear more "clean" than any other church groups has finally caught up with them. Big lump under the carpet there where you have been sweeping all of your dirt, WTS.

The One Redress to Victims That Never Happens
by LetTheTruthBeKnown init seems no matter how much money or press the victims get, the rank and file jw's are either unaware or do not believe what had happened.
the persecution complex takes over.

Overlapping Generations
by Lost in the fog inperhaps this explains why the gb have a fixation with time and chronology.
also why they keep their adherents in a prison away from the real world.

WT Teaching That You Can't Leave Behind
by jhine inafter posting on another thread it became apparent to me that it can be difficult for some ex jws to totally shake off all wt teaching , even after leaving the org.
do you still feel guilty going into a church for a wedding or a funeral .
can you bring yourself to celebrate birthdays or christmas .

I cling to the idea that there is justice. Somewhere, somehow. we have an inner sense of right and wrong and something seems definitely wrong on this planet. I still hope that there can be some sort of "healing" for the family of human beings.

Thanks again, Atlantis. I got all 4 years on my PDF storage app. Is it my imagination or are the more recent years showing a much smaller Bethel Family? For sure, one couple I know is no longer there.
Will these files self-destruct or are they safe where I have put them? I had them in "Notes" last time.
Cobbler! That's all a person really needs!

Atlantis, I had downloaded the Bethel directory a couple of months ago. Maybe a year. Anyhow, it seems to have erased itself from my iPad's memory. Is that weird?
Hey, but, Thanks for your work. It's probably me.
My wife was flabbergasted when I informed her that her friend, a married couple at Bethel, did not appear to be there any more. "How do YOU know?" " I looked them up in the Bethel directory." Silence...
You rock. I owe you a cold one.

In my own experience, it seems that, for all of the talk about conforming to a higher set of principles, the Witnesses are still self-centered and, in many cases, mean-spirited. It all just takes a different shape; they appear to be loving and kind because they're always TALKING about it, but they aren't much better than most people who don't try to make these claims.

Note About "Mr X is a Pedophile" Type Posts
by Simon inif you show up posting that someone is a pedophile but don't include any corroborating evidence to back up your statement (e.g.
a link to a news report or police statement) then expect your post and account to be deleted.. i am not the police.
i am not able to verify information that isn't in the public domain and there are enough malicious idiots about who will use libel to smear and harass people that we'd be crazy to take any statement at face value..

Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?
by Alex Williams inthis statement was answered in a form of a question to a question posed by one of his followers;.
jesus realized that composite slave had to qualify for such an appointment when he came into power of his kingdom promised by jehovah god.
[and they came to life and ruled as kings with the christ+ for 1,000 years].

Let's not be stubborn about it. There have been way too many off-target teachings that the WT has promulgated to blindly insist that a few things done right would qualify the WT as God's sole channel of truth. This would be like saying that God has made mistakes.
One mistake that God did not make is His giving us the ability to think things out, rather than having us wear blinds and not look to the left or right.
