  Actions speak louder than words

  gday to you all.

  i have had a thought i would like to share with you.

  i cannot remember who it was, but i believe it has been mentioned (maybe paul grundy) that if you wish to null & void your baptism because you were so young when it took place that the wtbts will not allow it if you have been participating in the believes & practises of the religion when you were older & able to make a decision of your own free will.

  GDay to you all. I have had a thought I would like to share with you. I cannot remember who it was, but I believe it has been mentioned (maybe Paul Grundy) that if you wish to null & void your baptism because you were so young when it took place that the WTBTS will not allow it if you have been participating in the believes & practises of the religion when you were older & able to make a decision of your own free will. So it is your actions of participation that speak NOT your words, according to WT, yes.

  That being the case I would like to state, that all those participating in WTBTS activities today, e.g. attending the K Hall/field ministry/donations/memorial/etc. Are in fact by their ACTIONS showing support to an organisation that protects Child Molesters. They are showing by their ACTIONS that they approve of the October 2012 policies as set out by the GB . Lets face facts here, with the RAC & all the other info that is now available, ignorance is inexcusable. They are showing approval of No-Blood policies/Shunning policies, & every other bad policy that WT has set up in the name of Jehovah & Jesus Christ.

  If Actions speak Louder than Words, it must apply both ways, this is an undeniable truth is it not?

  Baker, His conduct came to light & he got much needed help. Can some-one please explain what this much needed help would have entailed? Personally I think it is BS, they just say they will help so that they can gain even more info about the person store it up & use at a later date to kick them out. One Elder told me, that the gossip amongst the elders on the Gold Coast is prolific. When they had an elders meeting with the CO one of them put his hand up & asked what he should tell his wife, the CO apparently said the same thing you should always be telling her, absolutely nothing.

  It's amazing how they want to gossip about everything but when it comes to pedo's their lips are sealed a.

  only a few days ago i was walking around the house in a mindless wander thinking if i needed to seek professional help.

  then i got the courage to seek the comfort of complete strangers on the internet and found a world of support here on this website.

  thank you simon and whoever else has made this website possible.

  Big Big Big Big Big HUG for you & your husband. It will seem over whelming at times but I promise it gets better better better. I was reading your story & they have just knocked on the door it's funny i haven't been to the hall for a couple of years but I still got up & ran to my husband for emotional protection, so I am so happy that your husband is right beside you it makes it so much easier when your man just puts his arms around you & says " it's o.k. baby I got your back." Always keep that in mind it will help you to keep positive.

This morning my husband & I were talking about how nice it was, how free we felt with our opinions. Then he said, "That is why JW's gossip all the time, it's because their conversation is so limited. You are afraid that you may watch the wrong movie or say the wrong thing maybe slip up with a swear word & then you become the subject of gossip. Maybe they will run back to the elders & there will be a marking talk on you". Well I think he may be right, cause really your whole conversation should centre on talking about the Borg,if it doesn't then you must be spiritually weak, not good association.

  What do you think, why so much malicious gossiping?

  good morning from the east coast.

  i have a question.

  This is all BS, what Respectful Observer said is more to the truth. The only thing they are interested in is the monthly report, who in the cong participated in doing the 30 hours (pioneer) they read them out & make the rest of the ones who cant do it feel like crap. Nowhere in the gospels did Jesus require a number of monthly hours. When you listen to them that is all they talk about. Who is pioneering. I think it is an insult to Jesus that that is their main concern.

  "Oh Jehovah, Jehovah, didn't I go out during memorial season & do my 30 hours when so many others didn't . See I deserve everlasting life."

  let's set aside our differences for the moment and appreciate this excellent documentary cedars put together that should prove to be an invaluable tool in helping to expose the child abuse issues in the organization.. i was humbled to be able to help with this project on such an important subject, though my part in it was insignificant..

  Scary21, no it was a group in America & they had some kind of guru who took the lead. It was years ago now. More recently on Hamish & Andy I saw some Asians strapping weights to their bollocks & lifting them up to strengthen the muscles so they could last longer. The things men do with their privates it's a wonder they don't drop off.

  Jehovah's Witnesses: A Clear Decline

  2. bible

  it is rather clear that the internet is to put it mildly, wrecking the world of the watchtower bible & tract society.

  if not for foreign language i doubt there would be much growth at all.. digital trends and analytics are very real.

  i live this analytics world i assure you to some degree you can take it to the bank.

  Hadriel, when the numbers go up it is Jah's holy spirit making it grow, when the numbers go down it's Jah's holy spirit clearing out the crap & refining the cong. They always got a bloody answer. They told to many porky pies & they are being caught out.
