  2. child-abuse

  https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/03/15/national/jehovahs-witnesses-whipping/.

  the most cited reason was “napping or talking during congregations.” others included “answering back to parents” and “playing with a schoolmate.”.

  some respondents said they have been suffering depression as a result of whipping.. “i still cannot forget the sight of children screaming after they were taken into a large room at a congregation when i was a child,” a 44-year-old victim said, stressing that jehovah’s witnesses should reflect on what followers have done.. in february, a group of lawyers started supporting those second-generation followers.. in a statement issued on march 1, the japanese branch of jehovah’s witness said it does not accept child abuse.. https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20230315/p2a/00m/0na/006000c.

  Actually, being raised a JW in itself is child abuse.

  What Will JW's Do If They Find Themselves Still Conscious after Death?

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. beliefs

  we all know that despite many scriptures to the contrary, jw's believe that when they die, their consciousness will cease.

  my question is this: what will be the likely reaction of jw's if they find themselves conscious after death?.

  The WT Borg corporation breeds "confustion".

  On one hand you have the Borganization manipulating the sheeple with the ''end, the end, the end'', or ''bib A, bigA'' on which the goalposts are constantly pushed back. While you hear about this mass buildiing projects,,, planned years in advance, WTF?

  So, when the sheeple awaken in the afterlife,,,,welll confused,,,perhaps?? No body has ever come back to relate this.

  or,,,it will be some cathartic or placebo effect suddenly people will have some grand enlightenment. The Borg has continuously flip - flopped on it's doctrines, proving it doesn't know what it's talking about.

  If anything, the Borg is masters of confusion. To say the least.

  i came across an xjw post on redditt from a rn.

  she states that nearly every jw she ever treated was on anti-depressants or anti-psychotic drugs:.

  https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/f35vaa/just_about_every_jw_i_come_across_is_on/ i once read somewhere that 1 in 5 jw's were on anti-depressants, but i couldn't find any documentation.

  '' Not sure if she was crazy, but she sure looked it. ''

  Probably was crazy, having a panic attack, going nuts or probably all 3.

  JWs confused when they realize they're conscious after death? Why....the GB has admitted they "err on doctrinal matters". Confused would be an understatement.

  They'd probably panic and ask for the GB's direction.

  Years ago I head at least 60% were on anti-depressants, back in 2006 or so.

  That wouldn't surprise me.

  Yes, more exposure all the time.

  Child abuse. Yes. To expect a child to sit there and listen to adult - level content and expected to sit quietly and motionless for 2 hours, couple times a week. Then, a$$emblie$, CONvention$ also and get a licken for not being quiet for all that time.. Hearing stories of being told to die instead of taking life-saving blood,,,armageddon talks....getting a licken after,,,,

  Yes, it is child abuse.

  I think the Borg realizes that 99.999% of JW sheeples are NOT stupid. And by scaring them by fear-mongering keeps them from developing critical thinking skills and waking - up and leaving. Please read Ray Franz' "Crisis of Conscience" & "In Search of Christian Freedom" !!!
