  GETTING INTERESTING REAL SOON NOW

  by You Know in

  i don't have a clue how a computer works.

  i just turn it on and point and click and i am able to do what i need to do, unless of course something goes wrong, or in the worst case scenario if my little machine experiences the dreaded blue-screen crash, then i am really in a mess.

  that is the way the financial system is for most people.

  YOU KNOW

  In all the years that I have been debating these issues I have never had anyone tell me that they were a victim of child abuse.

  Haven't you read the threads in here about the kinds of abuse people have suffered at the hands of abusive parents and elders? Haven't you read ANY of those stories? None? How can you be here and miss them? They are all over the place. Or do you just skim over those?

  YOU KNOW You have now met a victim of sexual child abuse in the organization

  YOU KNOW You have now met a victim of physical child abuse in the organization

  YOU KNOW You have now met a victim of emotional abuse in the organization.

  YOU KNOW You have now met a victim of spousal abuse in the organization.

  YOU KNOW You have now met a victim of spousal rape abuse in the organization.

  YOU KNOW You have now met a victim of elder abuse in the organization.

  No more excuses. And if you want the details they are written all over this web site

  Question for all Jw.com

  by haujobbz in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i dont know if you been asked this before but what made you give up your religious beliefs,i assume that not all on here were jehovahs witnesses so if you were not please say.well i will telll you why i left, i got baptised as a jw 2 yrs ago and then started to notice say 6 months after baptism that the followers didnt really heed the what they were being taught it didnt seem to motivate them in their hearts, to say display genuine love it was more like a routine to them to be at meetings,talk to same ones,read watchtowers,it seemed so mechanical like robots,im not saying this is what caused me leave because i was serving genuinely i was really interested in practising what i preached,but i found it hard because everyone wasnt trying to do the samething.so then gradually i started to question things and then i got the internet last year and was itching to look on these so called apostate sites,you see i wanted to prove these sites wrong but in the end i was proved wrong with things like prophecies,jws past history,etc.

  so thats my story

  Initially it was the abuse

  then the hypocrasy

  then then lack of love

  then more hypocasy

  after that some downright cruelty

  and of course let's not forget the shunning - such a display of love there too

  and finally I started reading apostate litter-ature

  so then it was Mexico/Malawi

  and the money

  and the asking for estates to be given to them

  and also the shunning and lack of love

  The failed prophesies

  oh yes double standards

  the mind control they use

  the lack of genuine caring and compassion

  and now I am back to square one - the child sexual abuse, the wife abuse, the shunning and the hyporacy

  Guess by now you coud say it it the whole sick thing

  Dubs Would be Totally Lost.........

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the topic of this thread is mostly directed towards jehovah's witnesses who still have some ability to think.

  this topic is important to those jws who may have some doubts about their religion, no matter how small they might be.. i'm going to make perhaps, a rather startling assertion and instead of presenting all of my arguments for it, will invite others to contribute their own arguments.

  if a person was to ask a number of jehovah's witnesses what was the single most important part of their religion, a variety of answers would be given, and without question, all of them would be wrong.. to put it another way, if one had the power to take away just one thing from the watchtower religion that would render it impotent and foundering like a beached whale, what would that one thing be?.

  Gosh Farkel does that mean that all the litter-ature I have now will scream if I try to destroy it. The only original thing I have left was my daughter's Bible - (good for going undercover at DC and for looking up false scriptures)

  Mimilly it would be so cool for us to meet in Montreal.

  I'm so glad you have one place that is safe and has good memories with good people. That is so important to our recovery. It gives us a foundation to work with.

  If you want to email where your brother is I will try to stop by and leave a flower for you. (((Mimilly)))

  edited to add

  I will be there next week

  MANDATORY REPORTERS OF CHILD ABUSE

  by YoursChelbie in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  according to the watchtower society's legal department, in some states the elders are "not required to report" allegations of child abuse among the members.

  but what exactly are they not required to report?

  the sinner's confession or the victim's allegation?

  I knew one elder who had his teenage daughter sleeping in the living room so that he could have the second bedroom as a study for his "private" meetings and phone calls. I felt so bad for that young girl especially when we had the book study in their home. She had no where to go, no privacy

  My ex-husband/elder always had his own office in our apt. and he had a file cabinet that I believe he kept locked - I never checked.

  But to the point here the WTS will try just about anything if it is to their advantage

  how Jehovahs witness keep the cong clean.

  by sleepy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is how jehovahs witness keep the congregations clean.

  when anyone does something wrong, adultery, childabuse etc only the elders dealing with the case are supposed to know about it , appart from those directlty involved.

  this means that appart from rumors and gosip, which jehovahs witnesses are instructed to ignore (i suspect this is the reason why)no one knows about it.this creates the impression among the general publishers that these things rarely happen.

  That phrase

  white-washed graves with dead men's bones

  goes through my head all the time in reference to them. It just fits so well because we were like dead zombies in there and only learn how to live after we leave
