so i know there are so many who have been victims of issues with members of the watchtower who have been hurt by elder males in a ladershop role, ergo pedophiles..... but lets just ask.... what if you were a husband to a wife who engaged in internet connections with a 17 or 15 year old boy?
when the elders found out they looked out for your wife and just saw it as a fleshly issue and the others jw parent refused to press charges?
as an outsider and looking at it as an older male to female encounter i felt enraged..."thats my daughter!!!!
There's cultural dynamics in how males and females are viewed and how protection triggers are pulled. There is also the factor of how males view themselves vs how females do in a sexual or potential sexual scenario.
So the bias has always been that males like sex and most females need protection, so young males are viewed entirely differently from a young female in a similar situation.
I'm not saying that is right, i'm saying that is how it is.
recently there have been several claims made regarding prophecies that came true.
i've not personally seen a prophecy that i would consider as having come true.
i would consider the following as the requirements to say something is a prophecy and evaluate whether or not it came true:.
Then you clearly have no idea of the meaning of the word "evidence".
Your truth bar is set so low, that pretty much anything gets over it.

Religion is a snare and a racket, ... never a truer word was spoken.

hi, to everyone my username is enzo, .
recently a saw a video presented by john cedar presenting steve hassan as a cult expert.. .
but read this reviews presented on cult news about steve hassan's books, and it's up to you make your own opinion about the video.
kinda makes Mann look like a little whiney bitch now dont it?
the wife is starting to pull away from my family.
its my fault but i couldnt help it.
my fault because for years my sistets were indifferent to my wifes jwness.
Has she recently been to the district assembly or whatever they call it these days... (regional convention?) that usually kicks off a lot of cultic thinking for a while...
hi everyone.. i just realized that it has been over a year since i discovered this site and started to recognize i was shackled by invisible chains.
i am still in the process of chipping away on those chains.. i posted on another thread how these threads here are like little time capsules.
the moment, the emotions, the attitudes are all there frozen.. .
It gets to the point that listening to your JW relatives / friends talk gets to be a real pain in the ass....
Blah blah blah jehovah, blah blah kingdom, blah blah ministry, blah blah assembly, blah blah meeting, blah blah blah

Mann comes across as a complete tool. It seems to me Hassans "success" has driven her to envy and she doesnt give a flying f@ck about cult victims either...
i resoundingly say no they won't.
they will just worm their way out of it,.
I'd love to see it happen, but under the current system no they wont.
as a jehovah's witness:.
two things finally struck me:.
for now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now i know in part, but then i will know fully just as i also have been fully known.. _______________________.
marked thanks....
