Is there a pedophile epidemic ?

by Snoozy in

after reading another thread on pedophiles i was wondering if there is a pedophile epidemic or is it just that we now have more access to the information?

it seems like everywhere you read there are more and more cases being reported.

are we becoming a nation with no morals at all?

RottenRiley

Can I ask for clarification, are you talking about a "Pedophile Epidemic" in the Congregation or Society as a whole?

I think it's been worse in the past because people got away with raping their little daughters or nieces and nephews, now with the Culture turning against the Falangs, things are getting better in the West because our World View say's Pedophiles are evil and need a bullet in the head!

The JW Congregations? There are many Pedophiles under the JW Version of "Witness Protection Facility" for the rich and famous Pedophile Elders, the Watchtower still protects these slime bags of human excrement because they are afraid the Pedophiles will sing like a bird and all the "Cover-Ups" will be exposed. What do you think?

U2 songs more spiritual than kingdom melodies

by kneehighmiah in

was getting some food when a u2 song came on.

i'm not a huge fan but i like some of their songs.

i noticed that the lyrics of their songs exude more emotion and spirituality that bland kingdom melodies.

RottenRiley

U2 is awesome, "Sunday Bloody Sunday", "In the Name of Love" and all the rest of Bono's music is awesome. I had a U2 T-Shirt I wore in 1982 (I think), back when they were kids, what a hell of a run U-2 has had, they have the staying power because they are what Music is all about! The entire band pours their heart in to each song, I saw them live in 2002, what a great band!

Jehovah's Witnesses Say They Are The Most Educated In The World. How Would You Prove Otherwise?

by minimus in

jw
friends

they claim their schools, literature and teaching are far more superior than any "worldly" education.

how would you counter that belief?.

RottenRiley

Dude, you don't even try to help anybody, why do you exists if your not here to help the other JWs? Is all the questions for your upcoming book? I scanned the threads, you only answer your own questions which is so JW-LIke, it's selfish, have you thought of becoming a Elder again? They are good at asking questions instead of loving support to individuals like "Confused and alone", you have been here since the begining of JWN, why don't you help these posters here?

To extract the selfish JWness still embedded in your soul, try to give a little more! I noticed this months ago but kept my mouth shut, I will start a thread asking what your Stats are on helping JWN Members in Trouble.

How many in the cong visited you when you started fading

by joe134cd in

i'm just curious speaking from a person who has stopped going to meetings.

i have heard reports from inactive ones (or from ones who the elders suspect of going to the dark side) of having so many visits from elders (cong members) that it got to the point of harassment.

surprisingly i have to say from personal experience and from numerous others that i have spoken to that the exact opposite has been the case.

MPC: 0

I know how bad things are when you began to fade, it's amazing to believe we put our trust in a organization that obviously had no love for anyone, we allowed people to walk out the door and never be seen again by our Elder Body.

Why did we allow our time with "Burned-Out Bob", "Pot Head Pete", "Albert the Wife beating Alcoholic", "Transvestitie Timmy", "Six Hundred Pound Sid", "Debby Downer", "Phil the Pedophile" instead of chasing after faithful members of the congregation who were battling problems at their Homes? We failed as a Organization protecting the Faders, why did we not show more compassion to the sick and infirm, the elderly and poor?

If we all knew the Statistics of JW Children that walked out the door after attending meetings faithfully for 15,16, 19 or 23 years never to return or get checked up on, it would prove we are nothing like the Shepherds Jehovah asked the people of Isreal to be.

Selective Statistics & extraordinary JW claims

by Syme in

* a jw family leave their crops and livestock unattained to go to a convention.

when they return, the crops and livestock are doing just fine.. * a desperate person is anxiously praying to god to give her a chance to know him.

even before the prayer is concluded, two jws knock at her door.. * a pioneer prefers to take leave from her work in order to attend the pioneer school, even though she's sure she'll be fired.

RottenRiley

Syme:, where do they come up with these fairy tales, I think most are lies. Did we ever explain to you how we created "Experiences" for the Parts on the Assemblies, we lied about our experiences because the Circuit Overseer or District had a Agenda that needed to be filled. Many of the parts were totally embellished, dressed or tailored to look great, most were half-truths!

I left my house to a brother inlaw so I could attend the District Convention, after pumping himself full of drugs he left the animals in the house and I had to drive home from San Diego, Calfiornia. My house was full of dog shit and cat piss, maybe I should have left the animals in my house and enjoyed the Convention, i am sure a Angelic Janitorial services would have cleaned my house and my pets would not have starved to death.

We stopped attending the District Conventions last year after it being a constant battle, the best part of the Conventions were speaking with the Ex-JWs and Christians protesting the Convention, I thought I was really being persecuted by kind, loving and compassionate individuals trying to get us to think! Thank you everyone for protesting at the conventions, there must be a better way to get their attention and not allow them to get off thinking that they are being attacked by Satan's Agents, there has to be a better way.

No more circuit assemblies

i heard from a reliable source that there will be no more 2 day assemblies, but instead 2 one days each year.

anyone heard this yet?

supposed to start new service year.

Don'tCallMeShirley, I enjoy your posts very much, what level of worldy education did you acheive? I can't name all my favorites but everything that comes out of your mouth make's me smile or ponder how stupid I was to be stuck in this Cult so long.

I had a chance to speak to another brother at a Circuit Assembly and he gave me more courage to step down and the wobbling began. The first time I began to have hatred of the Cult was the Circuit Assembly, my fellow Ex-JW was battling his own demons and we sat down and talked at the Four-Plex in Santa Maria, I told him about the man who had given a talk on the stage was a Pedophile and the next man who was up on "Secret Sins" was a compulsive gambler and thief, each remained elders until I got the strenght to come forward and report the abuse I suffered! I can't thank the brother enough, it's not enough for him to know he has impacted many in a good way, I get afraid he might go over the edge because of all the shit we learned at Circuit Assemblies and how the Congregation and Family turned against this good brother.

Maybe you might be able to give me good ideas how to encourage a man who put his life on display for everyone, he is self-sacrificing but the Cult and it's hatred is under his skin deeply.

how would you counter that belief?.

RottenRiley

How come you ask so many questions but refuse to help others in their time of trial? All you do is ask questions, where are your efforts to help other JWs?

Are you a robot preprogrammed like the Jehovah's Witnesses, it's too hard to help your fellow JWN Members so you just are a "Taker'?

Please correct me and show me how you are helping other posters on JWN by your number of comforting posts, or are you a Bot?

Did JWN Discredit "JehovahIsJudgeUk" website?

by RottenRiley in

they use poor reasoning, they wiggle around the question and ignore the fact the watchtower was affiliated with the united nations.

this website fails to ignore the facts that we were not allowed to join the ymca even though we did not follow the charter rules, the watchtower agreed to follow the un charter and did so from 1992 to 2001 when the scandal was exposed.. .

have any of you seen works to debunk their slanted arguments and dishonest play of words?.

Jeffro, that was beautiful! He is just a Troll, not a JW, not anyone somebody would notice if he died in his sleep. The World would actually turn a little greener if this troll died, really, nobody would go looking for him other than Satan the Devil to collect his soul he lost in a cheap game of Watchtower Roulette.

"It's pretty obvious that billythekid46 is just a plain old troll, but the saddest part is he's not even particularly good at that. He seems to be resorting to some kind of 'tactic' (using the term loosely) to 'challenge' me to rebut... 'something' (also using that term loosely)... except he hasn't actually provided any material, other than some entirely irrelevant copy-and-pastes on another thread that weren't remotely relevant to JW beliefs about 607 or 1914. (In fact, most of his content has been in defense of the Unification Church, about which he became particularly sensitive when I reported that others consider it a cult.) Meanwhile, he's destroyed any impression of credibility that he might have had by showing himself to be an insulting fool with no actual position.

FoundSheep, that's harsh after Pioneering for 13 years but it's the common issue with the Watchtower's Rules.

If anyone is doing something wrong they will spare no expense and use resources from ten different congregations to bring a person down, that's how FUCKD UP the Watchtower Religion is, "Leave No Questioner of Kooky Doctrine Behind (A Reverse Marine Mantra) In Good Standing". They won't send help to a Lost Sheep, they will let half the Congregation fall off the green grassy cliffs but if one sheep start's to hang out with a Ex-JW, We must not have that, hence The Flood Gates of Time and Resources Are Poured Out With Infinte Time and Hours To Hunt That Bad Sheep Down!

What a joke of a religon, how sick are they?
