My experience with a JDub pedophile

by Sour Grapes in

back in the early 1970's i was an elder and sat on a judicial committee that dealt with a male teenager in the congregation.

he was inappropriately touching his sister.

it was of course viewed as a sin, not a crime.

Back in the early 1970's I was an elder and sat on a judicial committee that dealt with a male teenager in the congregation. He was inappropriately touching his sister. It was of course viewed as a sin, not a crime. The council was given, and it was all kept hush-hush so as to to bring reproach on Jehovahs' glorious organization.

This brother moved to another congregation, and in about 4 years got married to a sister and they had a couple of children. One day the wife comes home from shopping and caught her husband abusing their young daughter, She immediately called the police, he was arrested and spent time in prison. She did not even wait for the elders to.have their kangaroo coverup meeting.

Would this sister have married this brother if it was publicly known he was a pedophile? I was on the committee; and even though I was only 21, I have carried that guilt for almost 50 years.

I also sat on committees in the early 1970's where I disfellowshipped four different brothers and sisters because they could not give up the habit of smoking. All four were shunned by their families and the families were broken all because of the Borg's holy righteous position on smoking. This too I have carried with me for decades.

During the late 1950's and early 1960's there was a 10 minute intermission between the public talk and the Watchtower study to give the public time to leave if they did not want to stay and it also gave the public and the brothers the chance to go outside the Kingdumb Haul to lite up a cigarette before the meeting started back up. The Borg tired of this and gave a 6-month countdown to stop smoking or get disfellowshipped.

The Watchtower Company is one fucked up religion.

Apostate - what does the word mean to you?

by Tallon in

over a period of time i got to thinking - what does the word 'apostate' mean to me.

having given it some thought, this is my view;.

the org has given the word its own definition and basically use it to demonise people and consider them pariahs.. however, the jw meaning of 'apostate' is a mere word and only has power if recognised as such.

Sour Grapes

I guess to me the word apostate, due to my wasting 50 years in the Borg, means someone who rebels against the "Truth" and actively tries to turn a JDub into an apostate.

Why are JDubs scared to death of apostate websites?

by Sour Grapes in

when i was an elder back in the 1970's i loved to debate and challenge ministers, preachers, and holy rollers.

now you can be a loyal jdub fully indoctrinated for 30 years but just take a peek at an apostate website and you are doomed.

yes, satan now has you by the gonads and all of the years of being at the meetings, all of the family worship nights, all of the conventions, and all of the personal study just go up in a cloud of smoke.

Sour Grapes

The JDubs belief system is more fragile than a soap bubble.

The clown factory at Warwick

by Sour Grapes in

it just amazes me how the clown factory at the borgs basilica in warwick could produce 8 clown popes that act like self-licking ice cream cones and the jdubs take them so seriously.

if the popes said that they were going to have a bible signing session at a king dumb hall 8 hours away that so many jdubs would make the trip the town would be swamped with traffic.. you know what is truly sad is when during jdub public prayers, the governing body gets more praise than the head of the congregation.

all jesus gets is the final "in jesus name.".

Go Bags, Safe houses and cartoon of two kids.

by scruffmcbuff in

i have been out a good 10+ years and until recently didnt pay much attention to what the jehovahs are up to.. why have they taken this turn with the bunker videos and making all the brainwashed people like my parents pack a go bag.

now let me just clarify.

im a military man i believe everyone should have an element of preparedness canned goods,bottled water and a bug out bag is a great addition ( ill stop waffling on about that now).. but what concerns me is the fact they are advising elderly people to bug out.

Sour Grapes

The Hateful Eight act like the JDubs are paid workers with benefits. For god's sake, they are freaking volunteers.

Are Jdubs supposed to hide in bunkers or stand out in an open field with that stupid grin on their faces when the armies come after them? Maybe next year there will be more things to do.

The eight self licking icecream popes have their cult groupies running scared.

The great 1914 turn around

by Sour Grapes in

i must say there is no other religion in modern times that has lied more to their cult followers than the watchtower company and no more brain dead, gullible cult members than the jdubs.. just three examples.

when russel was in charge 1914 was prophesied to be the end of the system of things with armageddon and the earthly paradise.

that didn't happen and poof now 1914 was not the end, oh no, it was the beginning of the end.. the second example, the generation that saw 1914 would not pass away before the end came, which meant in all jdubs minds that paradise had to be here in the late 1990's.

Sour Grapes

1914 will POMO and do the fade just like 1975 did. In 20 years when the old timers are gone the religion will look like a holy roller church with swinging music and some loud "Amens" from the audience. Nothing will be live just Watchtower movies with popcorn and coke. 1914 and 1975 will be a long distant memory like the pyramids in Russel's day.

The third example is 1975. Many of today's JDubs don't know about the "stay alive till 75" war cry and don't even care. Us old timers were lied to and then the Borg hinted so many times that they never said the end was coming in 1975 and we had overactive imaginations.

How can the JDubs still worship in a religion that has lied to them so much and bow down and kiss the ring of the 8 popes in New York who are like self-licking ice cream cones?

It is almost like apostates have the ability to cast a magic spell over the brain dead JDubs who get high smoking the Gibbering Body's crap.

Explain why you are happy if you believe there is no afterlife vs when you joined JW's

by Bad_Wolf in

one thing that has intrigued me are so many who have left, who are wholly convinced everything in existence is merely by chance now, also claim they wouldn't want to live forever, and perfectly fine if this is the only life.

now, i would understand that if you were raised into the religion.

i was raised into it.

Sour Grapes

If I had to chose between the few remaining years before I die or living forever in a paradise run by JDub elders I chose death.
