  I didn't have it in me to do that. I would have offed myself if I had to go to another meeting or assembly, not even for my family.

  Letter to former JW friends

  my mother has been burning to write a letter to old friends among the witnesses.

  we move around so much and were never great at keeping in touch.

  no one knows we've left the b0rg, but we don't care who finds out.

  Great job on that, I would like to send that letter to some of my own old JW friends. Thanks for sharing this, I can't think of anything to improve it, it is really well organized.

  should i report this child abuser?

  by highdose in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i've already posted this on a recent thread, but just in case it gets ignored, i wanted it to have a thread of its own.

  as i'm quite uncertain as to what to do.... in the area that i just moved to i have discovered that there is a jw here that i used to know.

  the interesting thing about this jw is that when i knew him 20 years ago he fled my congo because a young sister spoke up and said that he had been raping her for years as a child.

  Just because he is married with a child doesn't mean he wont continue to hurt other children, or sadly enough even his own. I don't want to pass judgment but in this case I would say you have a responsibility to the children in the congregation to report this. The elders won't do anything if you tell them, they will sweep it under the carpet, that is assuming they don't already know and are just keeping quite. Perhaps you can let parents in the congregation know anonymously, no matter how you do please make sure people know.

  OK let me be a little more blunt. I am agnostic, I don't care what the bible has to say. I respect you two as individuals and your individual right to choose your own faith. I don't need scripture quoted at me I am asking for help to expose an organization that destroys families and lives. God is taking to long and I'm not convinced there is a God. IMO if there is a God he isn't very nice. So, please if you want to quote scripture at me feel free but I will simply ignore it. As I said I respect YOU, I do not respect the bible.

  This thread is about getting hard copies of WT literature if anyone can help please let me know.

  Been there done that :P I didn't record it but I burned all my WT literature years ago.

  I run a youtube channel "CSTheApostate" (kind of new) but I would like actual hard copies of WT material for some of my aposta-video's, and a much more involved youtube project that would involve me passing as an active JW. I would have to look the part by being equipped with their stuff, songbook, NWT and the like.

  I appreciate that, peace has been found, now its time to speak out against the WatchTower. They are destroying lives and I am going to do my small part in helping people find out the truth about the troof.
