i never post on here.
i am sanchy's wife.
i posted my coming out story about 3 yrs ago.
Way to go Corruptgirl!
The idea of JWs using extreme care at gatherings re serving alcohol had been going through my mind since the first mentions of it by those defending Tony Morris. You nailed the references that I thought must be there but had no idea where to look for them. Your research is outstanding and your communication skills are excellent.
That was a very enjoyable read on many levels. Thank you!
ralph candelario is a jw.
he murdered his jw wife (his second wife) around january 2014 in walsenburg, colorado.
his first wife disappeared and has never been found but the jury was not permitted to know this.
By my TV schedule it appears that NBC is airing it at 7.30 PM on the West Coast of the USA, 4-6-19 (Pacific Time Zone).
i remember reading this site and wondering how much of ttatt the writer(s) knew.
now i just found these series of you tube videos by the writer.
leaving jehovah's witnesses: "religion is a snare and a racket".
I've watched just 3 min of this video so far, and it is OUTSTANDING in showing the double standards of the Watchtower Organization. Now for the rest.
i was howling watching cedars latest video of tm111 buying a dozen bottles of scotch ((maccallans scotch).
you can't write this stuff.
right, i'm now off to buy a bottle of maccallans 😂..
I'm wondering what kind of backlash there will be about this within Bethel and the Governing Body. Maybe Watchtower will try to spin it, but how can you spin it into something that's ok? Bring attention to it might make it worse. It doesn't matter what you do, this doesn't look good for AM3 or the Organization.

One of the things that really gets me about this is that the Governing Body encourages little kids to give their ice cream money to Jehovah's Organization, while Anthony Morris III uses his money to buy hard liquor. The $850 he spent would have gone a lot farther toward "kingdom interests" than a child's dollar.
Another thing, mentioned previously, is that it's entirely inappropriate for someone that has taken a "vow of poverty" to spend lavishly on alcohol - I don't care where the money came from, even if it was his own.
a study of religious retention rates–that is, what percentage of people raised in a particular church or religion stay with it when they are grown–is quite interesting.

jdubs have alittle over 36%.
One of the most glaring JW failures is the inability to keep their young people. They are God's true people, so they say, but they have never come close to fulfilling Prov 22:6...
Train a boy in the way he should go; Even when he grows old he will not depart from it. (Prov 22:6, Revised NWT)
Elder's kids, pioneer's kids, ordinary publisher's kids, it doesn't matter. The majority have always left and today it's likely worse than ever.
i searched "gambling" on this forum and only found old threads.
so thought i'd share.
perhaps it has already been commented on and i am just repeating.. see you all in vegas baby!
When I came into the organization, in the early 1970s, I seem to remember that even penny ante poker was off limits. You had to play with tokens. Now recreational gambling is ok.
new dubtown episode.
poor melch cant take part in anything in high school.

Regarding the fact that some of the blood fractions that JWs are allowed to take amount to a larger percentage of blood than other components that are prohibited, young Melchizedek asks....
Is it true that size matters to the Governing Body, or is it what we do with it that matters? (at the 9:16 to 10:19 mark)
Oh dear. The subtle humor that Kevin McFree puts into his videos is too good!
when i was a faithful jw i was pretty much obsessed with the mormon religion.
to me it was like lord of the rings.
i knew the characters, the history, the events, the joseph smith stories, the religion's history etc etc etc and i long suspected even then that the watchtower society has been copying certain things from the lds church.. for example, the first thing i noticed was when the book study was dropped and family worship was started.
Has anyone mentioned the GoBags? I believe the Mormons have had those for decades too.
It makes sense that Watchtower would copy the Mormons. Mormons are only slightly older as a religion than the Watchtower, but there are about twice as many Mormons in the world as Jehovah's Witnesses - 17 or 18 million (according to the two Missionaries who recently came to my house) vs about 8.5 million JWs.
I too believe that the Governing Body is trying to copy the Mormon's success.
hi everyone, i got the news that the lawsuit against the watchtower for the child abuse issue has been accepted in quebec(canada).
that means it can proceed further.
it is a first victory.
While I don't like many things in the JWs, such as how they direct people's life outside the religion, shunning, blood, I do believe that the religion is the correct one according to the Bible.
There is no way all of that could be true.
