Our dear Heavenly father, Jehovah....
AND the kicker...Jehovah's happy people.

Catching the Manipulation in Sundays Watchtower Article
by Butterflyleia85 ininspired by many on jwn board, my goal is to every sunday study the article and find the manipulative parts.
if you would like to join me that would be great!
we can then find them together and then find what the scriptures or insights truly means with research, our own understanding, or maybe how it should be interpreted to ones self.

This brings back memories of JW articles while I was growing up...do you notice that they list the
"positive" things about a subject ALWAYS followed by another paragraph starting with, However.
Yes, college may be able to get you a better job, etc.. However, you'll probably become an alcoholic,
commit fornication and die of AIDS; that is, if the New System doesn't save you first.

I couldn't take it anymore and left at 18. Fortunately, I refused to consider getting baptised since
I knew I was going to leave as soon as I could.
I hated the threats. Like God wasn't going to love you if you didn't want to go and sit through
hours of boring crap THREE times a week.
I am actually writing a book on how it was growing up JW AND having a weight issue and how
I finally made peace with myself....

Everyone sang the soprano line and it was dreadful. I used to particularly hate it when a
long syllable word was compacted to fit the sentence. Thr'out instead of throughout~

Occupy Watchtower
by OnTheWayOut ini stole the idea from a fb friend.
just like occupy wallstreet (and the spread to various cities), imagine people without a single voice picketing wt at brooklyn and having warming barrels loaded with burning watchtower literature.
if you did, what would your sign say?

Yes. It's on lancasteronline.com
It's under the heading, Mount Joy Man sentenced for Sex Crimes...
Unfortunately, the writer failed to mentioned that he's a JW. I am good friends with her sister. I wonder if
I should say something.

Balaa...I think he was a ministerial servant. He had a disabled wife who actually walked in on the
abuse a few years before it came to light and she told him that he should confess. Well, he didn't.
It only came out when this boy was in 11th grade and his behavior was so bad that he was on heavy
medication. He was violent, moody and diagnosed as bipolar. However, now that it's out, he's off medications
and is hoping to join the service. I hope that he makes it. I called my mom and asked if she knew him. She said
the same sounded familiar. I told her what happened and she was like, oh, he's out now! I said, no, that, in fact, JW
relatives were in from out of town in SUPPORT of him. I told my mother that that is unforgivable in my opinion. They
were all saying how people make mistakes, etc. However, this wasn't ONE mistake. This was a course of conduct
perpetrated on a young victim three to five times a week over the course of three years...makes me wonder how
many other victims are out there.
My judge said, "I don't know if you've done this before," to which he shook his head no, that he didn't,"but at
least I can ensure that this never happens again." I don't believe it. I think there are MANY victims out there and his
local KH should start looking there.
One more reason I would never set foot in a KH again!

Sanduskly will be put away for life. He will probably get consecutive sentences for each, one after the other, for a total
of at least 100..but there may be more victims coming forward.

65 year old self-professed JW man sentenced to 20-40 years state for abusing a young neighbor boy
over a course of THREE years. He actually read scriptures to the boy after each abuse session, which
averaged 3-5 times a week...here's the kicker. When it came time for him to talk to the judge, his last words
were...."I'm not a monster. I'm not a monster."
My heart goes out to the parents who were crying their eyes out in the back. Parents who trusted this
man implicitly. Now their son is horrifically messed up. I see this all the time in my line of work, but this
sentencing will imprint in my mind indefinitely. Not only because he's a JW, but because of the emotion the
parents exhibited.
Sad...so sad....
