witnesses are supposed to be the "most honest people in the world".
most jws i know of do not put business deals in writing.
they simply "trust their brother".
A number of times - and the sordid details are unmentionable.
I was "screwed" figuratively, and repeatedly.
My wife was raped literally, from age 6 to 13.
BTW, they are all still in "good standing" (with the apostate Watchtower Corporation, and its apostate ruling religious clergy class and hierarchy).
At least one is an elder.
Another was a Circuit Overseer before.
in the last 6 months my family and i have stopped attending cold turkey.
it is incredible to me to see how our so called friends have dropped us like we were a snake covered in spiders.
we actually havent really said anything to anybody about why we stopped.
What a blessing for your family to be shown clearly what they have left behind.

Could someone concisely explain:
what is "mild pedophilia"?
if an argument is being advanced that it should be more acceptable?
if yes, is this a valid argument?
if no, what is the purpose of the word "mild"?
i think wt interpretation about the rev.
mystery great babylon is too general, saying that is all false religion..... from reading revelation, it looks more specific because it says, it is the mother, ( maybe origin or root ).... what's your view ?
thank u and hoping for ur replies.
If their is arsenic in the honey, how do you eat it?
There is one part of the mystery.
The other part is telling them apart.
The honey is faith, spirituality and the liberating gospel message (what God has done).
Religion is the arsenic (apostate legalism, moralism and doctrinal ethnocentrism).
On the one hand you have to be at least very firm with toxic and destructive persons.
On the other hand they are (wilfully?) blind to their dysfunction.
A bit of a no-win situation?
breaking this subject down into categories.
this is--obviously --only my opinion.
any offence caused is simply intentional.. .
Watchtower appointed hounder: "tell me how much you have in the bank and I'll tell you what you are worth".
the annual meeting of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will be in october 2014.. .. in november 2013, just after the last one they published this now famous statement in the 15th of november 2013 watchtower page 16 paragraph 17 says:.
"at that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.
all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.".
The Watchtower Sanhedrin has repeatedly been put on notice of their corruption, but believe firmly that the dumb sheeple have nowhere else to go.
First up, there are many better places.
Secondly, it is not "where else" but "whom else".

"yes, sadly it is only a matter of time before pedophilia and incest becomes an "alternative lifestyle".
it was true in parts of canaan and rome.
So these folks would like to put same sex relationships in the same category as incest?
Or suggest that those in such relationships would condone incest?
Maybe these upstanding religionists would care to answer three simple questions:
Is legalism apostasy?
Is moralism apostasy?
i was just looking over this list of wt lies http://hourglass2.com/historical/the-list/list7_03.htm and found the following, circa 1906, in the middle of a self-justification by ct russell about his ex-wife:.
by 1903 mrs. russell had laid by in bank a little sum of money which evidently was consecrated to the injury of her husband.
the opportune time for its use came, and with it she published a new kind of tract .. to misrepresent me, to slander me.
One wonders what William Henry Conley made of Russell and the direction he was taking the Watchtower.
(William Henry Conley was the first president of Zion's Watch Tower Tract Society, from 1881 to 1884)

Atlantis is on fire!
Oh dear, just when we thought the apostate Watchtower Organisation's foundations could not get any shakier...
It seems we are here looking at the father of Watchtower lies, chauvinism, and power mongering...
