  by Phoebe in

  2. friends

  for months i have been telling my friends - very devout jws - about the problem of child abuse in the organization but it wasn't until they saw the bbc report that they finally believed it.

  (i made mention of their reaction in an earlier post.).

  today they have emailed me to say the bbc report has hit them really hard.

  I had a brother in my hall say to me this week after seeing the BBC News at Ten item about the adult victims being quizzed by the judicial committees in New Moston, Manchester - "How can I go on the work? It's embarrassing."

  we all recall the appalling example of vin toole during the australian royal commission when he was questioned about"theocratic warefare".

  here is a great video that shows how the society has used, and in turn tried to lie about "theocratic warfare".

  I was impressed by part of today's symposium entitled ' Safeguard your children from what is evil'

  well i have to give credit where credit is due.

  it was the part of today's symposium - build a house that will endure.

  the part i was most impressed with was 'safeguard your children from "what is evil".

  "Unshackle" - "I just hope they put truth and mercy ahead of their own interests sooner rather than later."

  That has never happened and will never happen. Why would you think that it would?

  Remember Your First Taste of Freedom?

  by Funchback in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it's around 10am here in the northeast of brazil.

  i have just finished having coffee and a light breakfast.

  i am reflecting on my saturdays of jw past, where i would be just about ready to leave the morning field service group and go door-knocking.. honestly, i hated every second of field service, always keeping one eye on the clock, counting down the minutes until service would be over.. 12 years later since i last "preached", i am also reflecting on the sense of freedom i experienced (and still experience) when i definitively said "no more!

  1975 and the burning question/s??

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  ok. so i'm sitting there at the convention.

  the video comes up about 1975 and the fact that the faithful brother in the video maintained his faith in the bible by adhering to the scripture that says:.

  'no one knows the day or the hour as to when the lord is coming'.

  And the question for paragraph 35 which "bennyk" has put up in the previous post?

  35. Why is this no time for indifference and complacency?

  "John Davis"

  Are you talking about Paul Shields or Jonathan Rose who was convicted and sent to prison? I was asking "darkspilver" about Paul Shields.

  JW renaming things: "It's Not this, it's ....."

  by Muddy Waters in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this was brought up in another thread, but i thought it should have its own thread.

  feel free to add your own observations and experience.

  the jws are so duplicit, and they rename things to somehow justify their own irrationalities.

  "Darkspilver"

  In the Paul Shield's case - what exactly did the JW's find him guilty of to DF him?

  Also did they turn over their records to any secular investigation of any judicial cases they had with him? (Oink! Flap!)
