  Standing up for myself, a lonely stand

  by troubled mind in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have learned in my life that i am the only one i can trust to stand up for myself .. many times i wished others would have 'had my back', like when i was seven and my favorite teacher committed wrongful contact with my class....we didn't know the term pedofile back then , and children were not taken serious when they made complaints about teachers .

  i wished my mom had been more protective and saved me from some ugly situations .

  i knew at 10 yrs of age that wasn't going to be the case .

  a bit of background: i thought that i was an ex-ex-jw until the latest new light.

  DVD "JW's Faith In Action, part 1 Out of Darkness" Omits! Omits! Omits!

  by Wasanelder Once in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been watching the new dvd and it is a bull fest about russell.

  i haven't even gotten half way and they already excluded one very important bit of information.

  you'll recall that russell "lost" his faith and "turning away from church creeds and searching for truth, russell examined some leading oriental religions, only to find these unsatisfying".

  Is water baptism required to get your sins forgive by the JW society?

  by evangelist 1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know many catholics and other religion say and make water baptism a requiremenet to get saved and get your sins forgiven, but how does the society see water baptism?.

  do they also baptized in three name or just only in jehovah name when baptizing a jw?.

  is only the elders allowed to get baptized or anybody can get wet?.

  Mr. Flipper Talks with Bethel Legal Service Desk Rep About JW Child Abuse

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  well - i had been wanting to do this for a long time , to question a legal department representative at bethel about the child abuse settlements and jw child abuse, since last year when the news came out about it.

  especially since my dad , an elder for years was never aware of it and has on his own taken steps to see that families with children are informed if a former pedophile is in their congregation.

  i was curious as to what the current views and policies in place are .
