Dear Dad

by Euphemism in

happy father's day to all the dads out there!

i wrote this letter to my dad.

i'm not going to send it, but wanted to share it with people who i know will understand it.. .

Father's day is a depressing day for me. My dad said I'm no longer his son and threw me away. I think I'm going to take a few shots (Kraken rum). Maybe that'll help.

my wife asked me if i believe that christ came to power in 1914. sadly this question shows how little she knows even about her own religion as she knows the heart of my problems with the society start with the 607 bc debacle.

obviously no 607 means no 1914. alas....the conversation eventually morphed and it got to the point where i decided to ask her a point blank question.

what would it take to get you to realize that your religion is false?

TimeBandit

I thank my lucky stars that my wife listened to my tearful appeal and considered my research findings about the jws. She saw how heartbroken I was to know the truth about the "truth". I was able to stir her into addressing some of her own doubts. That combined with my heartbreaking realizations and findings was enough to sway her. We disassociated together last summer. I got lucky I guess.

I hope she sees the 'light' and realizes you are right about what you are trying to tell her some day. Hang in there brother!

The Watchtower Punished: Society loses legal battle over child abuse case

by cedars in

it's taken a while, but i've finally managed to put up an article on this remarkable court case.. a link to my article is below:.

http://jwsurvey.org/general-information/the-watchtower-punished-society-loses-legal-battle-over-child-abuse-case.

i've tried very hard to make the article as factual as possible by reading and comparing the various documents available.

In some of the comments posted on the news stories (abc news, nbc news etc.) some jws or apologists were calling Candace Conti a gold digger.

Here's proof that she's not:

Plaintiff awarded in punitive damages -21M & 1 dollar. Total award, 28M & 1 dollar. Here's more info

by AndersonsInfo in

the plaintiff, candace conti's goal from the very beginning was to bring enough attention to this problem to incentivize watchtower to change its policy of secrecy.

the award can be explained as it was decided: separate compensatory and punitive damages.

the punitive award is established in law to punish wrongdoing - here, the conscious disregard for others - and deter that conduct in the future.

"The elders admonished Kendrick to stay away from children and stripped him of his unpaid role as a ministerial servant, McCabe said, though his fellow congregants were not told the reason and police were not notified .

"The elders watched him after that," McCabe said. "They met with the family, and the family seemed like they were working it out . No one saw him do anything inappropriate after that, or heard anything inappropriate. ... The congregation never put (Conti) in a situation of danger with this man ."

"The congregation never put (Conti) in a situation of danger with this man." Really? They put her in " a situation of danger " because "His fellow congregants were not told the reason and police were not notified" ...

Lying Bastards !

How does a congregation handle being found guilty in a lawsuit?

by OnTheWayOut in

as in the current oakland, california case, since the congregation must vote on expenditures and pay on such rulings, is there any announcement concerning the specific case and rulings?

are the elders removed to make it look like it was their blunder.

any real info along with wild speculations would be welcome..

TimeBandit

They can do no wrong since they gots da holy spirit...They'll never admit to any wrondoing because the organization looking good is thier prime concern. They're being 'persecuted'. The loss of the lawsuit is an attack by evil Satan and his apostate minions...They'll probably pin metals on the elders from her congregation.

The jw Lawyer said :

“We’re stunned by the verdict. We hate child abuse and EVERYTHING TO DO WITH IT .”

EVERYTHING TO DO WITH IT? Huh? That shows just how little they think of abuse victims. Sounds like they hate helping the abuse victims too....

It took me a long time to write this...i'm staying.

by MsGrowingGirl20 in

it took me a long time to write this....i'm being brutally honest...i am still a reg pioneer...three sundays ago,i was praying and asking god for a sign or something because i was so confused...i told him exactly what i needed to see for me to believe.i was feeling terrible--crying and feeling sick because i was so confused.ten minutes after, i walked into the kingdom hall and to my surprise--my prayer was answered!

i soooo wasn't expecting it, even though i prayed.

so this is where almighty god wants me to be,ii've reasoned.

TimeBandit

Yer so gonna regret it some day. I hope you have fun waiting around for Armageddon to come like all the other Sheeple. Best wishes!
