  Hello!

  2. experiences

  been reading here for a few years.. 4th gen jw, born and raised, served for a few years which was the catalyst for me.

  the politics, backstabbing, slandering and coercive tactics in particular caused a constant internal struggle.

  i started researching and focused only on the stories of ex-elders/servants to see if i was the only one - i wasn't.. the rest is history..

  Bringing Reproach on Jehovah's Name

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  all my jw life i was reminded constantly about the importance of not bringing reproach on jehovah's name.

  decisions on whether or not to disfellowship an individual often turned, not on the seriousness of the sin, but on whether the incident was public knowledge and had resulted in bad publicity for the congregation.

  i recall a middle-aged lady being reported to the elders for shoplifting a sweet worth less than £1- and the elders' insistence that a judicial committee must be formed because the store manager and staff knew that she was a jw (i successfully argued that all she needed was support for her dreadful family life, but that's another story).

  Is Silent Lambs and Bill Bowen still relevant?

  by HappyDad in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  when i joined this forum in 2004, silent lambs was a very important venue for those who suffered the crime of child abuse in the jehovah's witness religion.

  bill bowen was instrumental in exposing a lot of the cover up along with barbara anderson.

  i was wondering if silent lambs is still relevant and does it still help abuse victims?.

  I don’t think there are two JW’s with the same name of Alex Reinmueller. He looks like he is in his 60’s. Good Question! (Following)

  Midweek Meeting looooooooong prayers.

  by Davros in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one thing that aggravates me is long concluding prayers, especially at the midweek meeting.

  you work all day, rush home, grab a quick bite, dress up in meeting clothes.

  then, go to the meeting.

  If you are still in the borg and you know a certain brother that will give a very long prayer at the end of the meeting, be a leader and tell others to follow you to leave the KH very quietly when the brother will not stop praying anytime soon. It would be hilarious when the brother finally say Amen and see only one brother who is napping in his seat. The brother giving the prayer would probably get very angry and say Amen very loudly to wake up the napping brother who has the key to lock up the KH! I bet he won’t give a very long prayer again!

  Off Topic. I remember an elder only said Jehovah Thank you so much for this fine meeting! I pray thru your son jesus name amen. I was stunned about the very short prayer. My Dad said he gave a very good prayer! LOL!
