3HELP NEEDED: Cases where sexually abused JWs were disfellowshipped as retaliation for reporting to authorities.
by EdenOne ini have read in this forum many compelling stories of people who were sexually abused as minors while associated with the jw's.
i need to be directed to threads where victims tell their stories (preferably if these ended up in court) of abuse and where there was this key element to the story: they were intimidated with threats of excommunication to not report their abuse to authorities and/or they suffered retaliation in the form of disfellowshipping/disassociation for reporting the crime to the authorities.
i recall one story, that i really would like to find again, when someone went to the elders with a complaint of having been sexually abused, the elders confronted the abuser and he denied.

"Young people ask" book claims 97% youth masturbatory or seen porn...not J.W youth??
by Witness 007 inas a youg man this stunned me when i studied the original "youth" book 97% had done it so i thought soo that's pretty much everyone i guess the 3% were witness youth!
also "awake" claimed 90% of students had accessed porn at some time.
everyone is doing it i guess 10% are the witness youth...how dumb was i?.

Personally, I suspect that all the Org's wank-related anxiety stems from one old closeted higher-up who thought all the jerking he did as a teen turned him queer.

Will there be a sense of urgency in 30 years?
by neat blue dog init's pretty easy to see how current events would have any jw convinced the end is imminent, but i just don't see how there could be a major push for zealous service, pioneering, etc.
decades into the future.
even if (when) world events happen periodically that could scare the r&f, there are now countless hours of hd video of jw leaders saying how close the end is.

The only genuine "urgency" being felt is at the top.
And I'm willing to bet it's more like "anxiety".

If you could pick out critical errors to the JWS religion what would it be ?
by Rocketman123 inmany that have come to this forum have left the jws religion and moved on with their lives but from a outsider's viewpoint what do think makes the jws religion wrong or incorrect as a active christian faith ?.
somethings come to mind such as its long continuous end times/armageddon soon doctrine which has really been a core doctrine for decades going right back to its beginning .. maybe they should have adopted the stance as other christian based faiths and adhered to jesus's own words when he said " no one knows of the time not even he ".

"Not Bringing Reproach on Jehovah's Name" is a Non-Sensical Excuse for Shunning
by truth_b_known infor whatever reason i was thinking on the topic of jehovah's witnesses' practice of disfellowshipping its members based on the concept of preventing "bringing reproach on jehovah's name".
follow me if you will -.
over 20 years ago a friend of mine did something rather crazy; he committed a major crime.

truth_b_known - "Here is what gets me - Do Witnesses not realize that life in the Watchtower's Paradise will be worse than life now?
- Watching inappropriate tv/movies or going to websites with unchristian content? No problem! They will no longer exist.
- Watching violent and competitive professional sports? No problem! They will no longer exist.
- Secretly wearing tight pants? No problem they will no longer be made.
- Listening to inappropriate music? No problem. Recorded music is history!
- No electricity. No running water. No sewage treatment."
Oh, it'd be much worse.
I'm sure you all remember what I've previously posted about this subject.

Does this look like the WT is going to be around a long time? One Watchtower @ One Awake for the public in 2022
by pistolpete ini keep hearing that the watchtower org is going to be around forever because of the many other religions that have been around a long time.
but i disagree because the wt is not like other religious cults.. the watchtower's breath of life is dependent on the last days that started in 1914. .
you can’t change 1914 without a death blow to the entire organization.. the watchtower's 2nd reason for staying alive, is it's continual urging that the life saving preaching work of warning people is the most important work ever.. but- it's very obvious to many, even the old ones that instead of speeding up the work------the work is slowing down to a drip.. comment by former believer; .

I've said this before, and I'll say it again...
...the WTS is, first and foremost, a corporation.
Ergo, its survival is dependent on its monetary solvency.
Now, in what weird-ass mirror universe are significant reduction in product output, regular asset liquidation, and constant legal troubles signs of robust financial health?
