Two Or More Witnesses Policy Still In Effect For Elders In Child Abuse Cases
by PublishingCult indespite its assurances to the media reporting on child sex abuse cases, the official wtbts policy on dealing with child molestation in the congregation has not actually changed.
the most recent direction given to congregation elders in dealing with child molestation allegations can be found in the 2010 revised edition of the secret for-elders'-eyes-only manual, shepherd the flock.
this direction is in direct violation of the law regarding how ministers are to handle allegations of child molestation.

Fake Knock and Other Sneaky Tactics During Field Service
by sacolton inyeah, i hated "field circus".
i don't like bothering people on saturday mornings about the latest watchtower & awake magazines and try to convert them from their religon to become a jehovah's witness.
so, what i did was just wait until the group passes by and fake knocked.

If I did not feel like talking my opening line was "Good morning I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses" A sure conversation stopper Their usual response was " Not interested" But if they said " So what do you want " I was in trouble and had to think of something to say Usually I just offered the rags Oh and I never knocked very loud

Were You Happy That Jack Barr Of The GB Died?
by minimus ini read that some are quite happy that another gb bites the dust.. i think of my "faithful" elderly jw mother who helped many many families come into the "truth".
she's an intelligent woman.
however, she's blinded by her beliefs (being in a cult).

WT Society's Sly Guilt & Fear Tactics on Young People in Nov.15th WT
by flipper inas many on this board are aware- the wt society is losing younger members in big numbers.
statistics show that 2 out of 3 jw's raised in the cult leave between the age of 18 to 35. so like they always do- if the wt society sees a " need " or " problem " arising they address it in wt study articles.
thus notice how manipulative the wt society uses fear, guilt, and put down type comments to intimidate young jehovah's witnesses in this wt study article in nov. 15th issue.. under the titled article " young ones - what will you do with your life ?

Nothing is EVER good enough...
Those hammer talks based on that theme used to affect my ex so badly that one time coming back from an assembly she was trying to throw herself out of the car while I was driving Our daughter was struggling with her holding the lock down so that she couldn't. We were approaching the top of a bridge the site of many suicides. I knew that if I stopped and let her she would have been out of the car and over the side without a second thought. So it is not only the young who are affected

I can't really seek professional help. Any self-help suggestions for depression?
by easyreader1970 ini really don't have the time or the finances for a professional psychiatrist.
i know i am depressed and i know why.
the problem, as i have said before in one or two other threads, is that the solution won't really change my depression and may, in fact, make it worse.. so i am resigned to being depressed but would like to know if there are some coping techniques or other suggestions.

Is your depression caused by living with a bipolar as reading Grandma's post seems to indicate. If so I may be of some help since I lived with this for for 20 years My wife was bipolar

No Sex In the New System - It's Impossible
by mentallyfree31 infyi:.
if you think through the jw belief system, we would have to renounce sexual relations forever to get into the new system.
jw's believe that those coming back in a resurrection will not be married or given in marriage.

Jesus did not say no sex but no marriage. When I was a JW I figured since we would all be perfect then there would be none of the complications like jealousy and disease that there are now when we sleep around. So I imagined one big love fest. Single horny young brother that I was . I really looked forward to the new system

Hope for prisoners. Or, why not commit suicide?
by easyreader1970 inthis is copied from a post on reddit.com.
while i don't (yet) have the urge to remove myself from life, i can understand the hopelessness part of this.. .
the reason i am making this submission with this title is because i find my life to be mostly similar to a prisoner.

I don't see why sucide can't be a rational decision
