  I've emailed ABC 20/20

  by mauiboy in

  2. child-abuse

  it was so easy i should have done it long ago....i went to www.abc.com, filled in the search bar with "20/20" and then clicked on 'email us'.

  my request was simple "please do an expose' on j.w.

  's and how they hide and protect pedophiles and then require those same pedophiles to go into public neighborhoods....putting them in contact with innocents, while not even being known amongst their own congregation members for the vile persons they are".. if enough of us make similar requests.....maybe,just maybe, we'll get our request.

  Looking to speak to current & ex-JWs in Australia

  hope you don't mind me posting.

  i'm a freelance writer, and am currently writing a story on the jehovah's witnesses church for a melbourne magazine.

  i've spoken with an elder/spokesperson of a melbourne jw church, who explained the official positions of the church at length, but i'm really interested in getting more of a sense of the day to day experiences of jws, both current and former.

  I would love to talk to you and answer any questions, but my children and their children(my grandkids) are still in and if they found out, I'd be shunned. ITS A CULT. By the way I'm in Sydney and was raised a JW.

  When You Were Sitting During The Meetings What Were You Really Thinkng About?

  by minimus in

  i used to listen to all the stupid comments and wonder if i could sneak out of there and scram!

  even after i resigned as an elder, i went for a while and eventually began missing more and more meetings.

  but while i was there, i'd listen to comments, chuckle to myself how dumb it all was and then go home with the knowledge that my days were numbered there..

  u.s. open sponsor moet leads champagne toast to champion serena williams, a jehovah's witness who does not drinkreporters on tight deadline wait for inappropriate-feeling homage before williams can begin press conference.comments (7).

  by filip bondy / new york daily newsmonday, september 10, 2012, 12:00 am.

  howard simmons/new york daily newsserena williams is thrilled about winning the u.s. open, but she will not celebrate with a champagne toast due to her religious beliefs.. there was an awkward interval sunday night in the press interview room, when the u.s. open sponsors, moet, delivered a trolley of small champagne bottles to the assembled media who already had waited an hour to ask post-match questions of serena williams.. before williams could begin answering questions, usta ceo gordon smith led a toast that basically called williams victory the greatest match in open history.. .

  ShirleyW, can you let us know if she responds to you. I'm shocked that she has represented America in the olympics.

  Thanks for sharing Paul, I don't know if I would say I was a jw, but your experience shows that honesty is best.

  so here's the latest in my pathetic saga.

  i've tried to fly under the radar for the past year, but it isn't working so well.

  i've learned not to engage my wife in debates but rather to ask questions.

  outsmart, if you meet with the elders, I'd get your wife to be with you and see how they cannot answer questions.
