to all those who watched the dateline episode regarding the handling of child molestation incidents by the jehovahs witnesses:.
your television is now demonized as it received signals from satan himself.
you must get rid of it immediately.
TRUE STORY:
When I was watching Dateline the other night, the strangest thing happened, my t.v jumped off the stand and started dancing and singing,"Halleluiah! Halleluiah!". Then it grew arms and hands and started clapping!
Did this happen to anyone else?
blaze wrecks town church .
may 30 2002. by duncan gibbons.
a brownsover church was badly damaged by fire last night.. the roof of kingdom hall, in bowfell, was damaged and smoke and water ruined much of the remainder of the building.. jehovah's witness minister michael pickard said: "it's not a total loss but it's quite bad.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Now thats ashame!!!
What kind of hotdogs?
i couldnt sleep tonight, i mean i just went to bed and tryed, but something inside of me forced me back up to write this post, and im dead tired.. i guess i always knew that i did it, even though it fell deep deep into the pits of my mind.. at times ( like now ) when i look back and think " did i really do that " at times i almost convince myself that it wasnt me, it was a story someone had related to me, a scene in a movie that i somehow integrated into my memory and now wasnt sure if it is real or not etc etc.. friggin damb it though, as much as i find relief in toying with the forced denials of it all, and then wondering onto a different thought line without ever coming to a conclusion or facing my actions and dealing with it in an appropriate way......i guess thats what im attempting to do here at 2:20 in the bloody morning !.
i think i remember touching a girl ( she was 12 ) in an inappropriate way.
she was the young daughter of the family that were studying with my parents, and during the study i would play with the kids and anyhow.. im sorry if this sounds weird, its late, im tired and with all this talk lately i guess it has surfaced out from the latent annals of my deepest memory.. .
You need to go to the elders NOW!!!!! But don't worry they probably won't do anything to YOU. But if the girl was a witness.........
Sorry Bath but if you did that I'm Sure you remember-your not the victim here.
eu has noticed that a number of persons making up this forum are guilty of showing disrespect to jehovah's witnesses.
some refer to jws as 'hovahs and others talk about kingdumb hells, all the time professing to follow christ.. some may justify their rude behavior by saying that jws themselves can be rude.
even if the charge is true, and eu is not really convinced that it is, why cannot ex-jws rise above the fray?
<<<The term apostate is not meant to be offensive.>>>
Eu,
Who are you kidding?!?! Anyone that has ever been a witness knows that is exactly what it is supposed to be. Even as a child I knew that. I recall watching the Phil Donahue show with my parents and there was an ex-jw on the show talking about the things that go on in the org. My mothers eyes were as big as saucers as she said, "Oh my that guy is an apostate". I was frightened by the look on her face and said, "mommy what is an apostate?". She told me that it is a really, really bad person that hates Jehovah. I just sat there looking at this man on t.v like he was Freddy from "Nightmare on Elm Street. I was truely scared shitless!
As a witness you are taught that there is nothing worse, not even being a worldly person, then it is to be considered an apostate.
question: was the dateline show discussed or mentioned in the wt meetings today?
Realist,
DB talks about what was said at the meeting, their thread is two down from this one.
hopefully someone out there can help me with some advise or direction .
i was raised jw and disassociated 30 years ago.
my family all remains jw so i'm very used to all the usual "world is ending, you're going to die" rhetoric i've gotten from them over the years.
<If you ask me, my BIL is having audio hallucinations (he does have a family member who is schizophenic- is it genetic?
This is a genetic condition-but I would'nt call the elders, they won't "help" him. Your niece would probably be the only one close enough to get help for her parents. (Professional help)
if they did not know before this past friday's airing of dateline they do now.

If they did not know before this past Friday's airing of Dateline they do now. Dateline previewed this Tuesday's show. My JW Mom calls me the next morning to tell me about it. Of course, I pretend like I know nothing about it. The phone call I know is pre-damage control. She says right off the bat, "well at least there not paying people off to keep their mouths shut!"(Like the Catholics)How does she know, she has'nt even seen it yet? Now she will go to all of her JW friends and tell them about the show and we all know how fast things get around at the KH. Now I will get to listen to all the BS after the show, the excuses etc. And the same old thing, "Its' not as bad as what the Catholics have done". WHATEVER!!!!!
hi guys, .
do any of you know if van morrison was ever a jw or studied with the jws?
i was listening to howard stern the other day and his daughter was on the show.
How old are you Mike Musto? I thought from some of your other post that you were Mr. Hollywood.

Hi guys,
Do any of you know if Van Morrison was ever a JW or studied with the JWs? I was listening to Howard Stern the other day and his daughter was on the show. A guy called in and asked her about a song he sings, "Kingdom Hall". So I went to Kazaa and looked it up and sure enough it was there. It is on his 1978 album, Wavelength and they show the album cover with what looks like him smoking a cigarette (lol). At any rate, the song is about swinging and singing down at the KH. Swingng? The only swinging I ever heard about had nothing to do with dancing. I was thinking maybe he had not ever really been to a KH until I read his biography at Kazaa, here is a small part of it:
< Morrison mounted his first tour in close to five years in support of 1978's Wavelength; his performances became more and more erratic, however, and during a 1979 date at New York's Palladium, he even stalked off-stage in mid-set and did not return. >
He must of been a JW huh?
