  Elena would his family still be together? Would he have better friends and quality of life? Would his children have a happier childhood and future than the one they have now?

  Are you serious?!! They'd be witness to their father psychologically abusing their mother on the daily - only without so much chance of her escaping (without a shed load of self recrimination and guilt). For witness girls without positive outside influences there'd be the possibility of a similar future mapped out for them, too.

  Jana I cannot and will not defend or debate his actions, admissions and accusations.
  

  Clearly......even a tag team of Judge Judy and Rumpole of the Bailey would have their work cut out there!

  Jana I only wanted to come in here and be clear about my level of involvement in his channel.

  oh it was plenty clear enough without you coming on here

  jana wouldn't you rather there be someone there to bring a sensitivity to the topic? To bring a lived experience to the topic?

  ah my favourite phrase..."lived experience". Is there any other kind? Do you think your life experience in any way excuses you from such gross insensitivity as to collude - lets not be coy in order to chalk up clicks and subs - with a repeat sex tourist who used some of the worlds most traffiked girls, for whom consent nor age can ever be verified by a punter, on of all things a CSA video.

  I just hope your 5 mins of noteriety was worth it...

  he does seem to have kept Dijanna's family to ransom to a certain extent. by the sounds of his previous rants.

  Aside from those execrable letters he sent to Dijana, for which I have no words, the way he blackmailed her long-suffering parents with the threat of denying them their only grandchild (at the time), demonstrates the emotional response he reverts to, time and again, are the crumbs he picked up at the table of a controlling and abusive cult.

  My grandmother called my mother

  by Anony Mous in

  2. experiences

  so, i’m just posting this as a warning to lurking jws.

  if you’re still on the fence, here is a story.. my grandmother, now in her 80s hasn’t talked to anyone in the family for over 20 years ever since my mother was the last one of her children that left ‘the truth’, she had sent my mother a card to never talk to her again.

  so here we are 21 years later, she gets a call out of the blue that she needed help, she hadn’t been able to get into her kitchen.

  My dad is 91. Lives in a apt. by himself with only 3 other neighbors nearby in a small town. No backyard, no pets allowed, just four walls and his zoom meetings. I own 75 acres of wooded land with ponds and much wildlife less that an hour from him. He loves nature. But, he'd rather end his days in misery rather than enjoy his sons and grandsons who can't live with his WT lies.

  sea breeze that kills me to hear things like that. How tragic to miss his grandsons and such heaven on earth like that

  I think the UK actually calls the organization “Social Services”, although isn’t it part of NHS now?

  Hi yes we do call it that Anony mous it's not exactly part of the NHS but its run in the same way. Each borough or Shire has its own social services department which is mostly funded by the local council via council taxes with some top up from government. So eg my step daughter is a social worker who is employed by our (next door) borough council. Some services are run by private companies and paid for by the elderly themselves such as "home help" cleaning and "meals on wheels"

  JW Chrisians in name only-what do you think

  by enoughisenough in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jw claim they are the true religion and they mention the love they have among themselves as proof.

  i have been watching a youtube creator who had some thoughts on the subject, bringing out jw were not really christian, based upon their actions.

  he made a pretty good case.

  "However, if interested parties wish to email the address below (i.e. journalists, investigators, etc) we will consider requests on a case by case basis. Pennsylvania abuse survivor hotline: +1888 538 8541

  what a pompous bloody great asshat!!! Those blue forms* can be found fucking anywhere on the internet for goodness sakes! "Case by case" means if theres something in it for Lloyd he'll be big enough to make himself look important & show you one. As for this elder seeing something rare, bloody hell how many times to elders have to sit on a judicial involving minors and sex in the JWs.....considering the stats are around one pedo per cong its not that unusual.

  *He's not referencing that specific blue form the elder filled in, but the blank ones in general.

  DerekMoors Sorry but I have no sympathy for these trolls who might suddenly be realizing that they've been taken for a ride by this fat ass. He and Redwood and Richard Kelly and the rest knew Lloyd was a bully to everyone in the community, knew he stole CoC, that he shit all over the protests (even those that led to the special on that Canadian channel)... the list goes on. They either joined in (like Haeck squashing that story) or turned a blind eye.

  Complicit.The lot of them. It was so infuriating to watch them become so controlling and petty in their jealousy of their new found (conveniently lucrative) feifdom. Their complete refusal to participate in any joint endevour or celebrate the success of others - however minor - stood out like a sore thumb.

  JW prepper fiction

  by Teddnzo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there have been a few fictional books written about jw interpretations of the future.

  one brother called ek johnson has written a few jw prepper fictional books based on jw timeline of events great tribulation and all.. i love prepper fiction particularly post apocalyptic prepper fiction but not zombie fiction i’m fed up of those.

  i view jw fiction the same as the rest, just like any good fiction.

  thats the one! Its a classic and already rarther prophetic !

  "at the morning meeting, Brother Thorn publicly reprimanded Rob and I for watching television. The elders have decided that, henceforth, watching videos is prohibited since we do not want our new paradise to be contaminated by the old world. Thorn speculated that one day we might have “theocratic television” from the Society. The Watchtower Channel? Spare me."
