  No response is perfect. It immediately ends "the drama" and shows they have no power over you.

  AUSTRALIA | TRANSCRIPT of Child Abuse Inquiry into Jehovah's Witnesses and Watchtower Society - April 2013

  by jwleaks in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  jw leaks has published the 17 page official transcript of the appearance by watchtower bible and tract society of australia and jehovah's witnesses before the "inquiry into the handling of child abuse by religious and other organisations" conducted on 11 april 2013 in victoria, australia.. http://jwleaks.org/australia/.

  quote from rachel van witsen, legal counsel for watchtower bible and tract society of australia and jehovah's witnesses, in reply to who is responsible for reporting child abuse within the religion of jehovah's witnesses... .

  ms van witsen at the moment, because there is no mandatory reporting for ministers of religion in victoria, then the victim, who has very often had their dignity removed, is then put in the drivers seat.. .

  Love this exchange regarding the secrecy around the Shepherding book:

  Mr T. O’BRIEN — It is exactly what is in the Bible. Yes.

  Mrs COOTE — Therefore why is it confidential?

  I have a feeling these guys know something's up here. They ain't stupid.

  MUST READ: Books for Young JWs - a Required Reading List

  by Oubliette in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've been contemplating a list of works of fiction that should be read by every young jehovah's witness, (12 - 18 years old).

  the goal is to plant seeds of truth and critical thinking skills which could ultimately invoking cognitive dissonance and help them wake up to the truth about "the truth" (ttatt).

  my idea is an adaptation of steven hassan's approach of not attacking a cult members beliefs directly, but rather indirectly by getting them to look at other similar belief systems and social structures, in this case fictional ones that mirror many of the destructive, oppressive features of jehovah's witnesses.

  The words of an uneducated, pasty-white mid 50's bethelite who never had children. He obviously knows everything.

  "The Truth Changes" with the text from the "Simplified" Edition WT

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the text i used in my analysis, "the truth changes: watchtower july 15, 2013" comes from the "study" edition of that magazine.. it is still available at: http://www.jwstudies.com/the_truth_changes.pdf.

  i have now used the text from the "simplified" edition, and it is available at:.

  WT Society Changes Definitions of Words to Control JW's for Their Agenda

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my wife and i were discussing this and thought of a few examples of words that the wt society changes meanings on in order to accomplish their own self serving agenda .

  the term - generation - definition in webster's new world dictionary : " generation - a single stage or degree in the succession of natural descent ( father, son, and grandson are three generations ) .

  the average period ( about thirty years ) between the birth of one generation and that of the next .

  I'm probably picking some of the lowest-hanging fruit, but WORLDY is one of the expressions that divided up my world from childhood into mid-adulthood.

  WORLDLY according to the dictionary means being "experienced in human affairs" or "sophisticated, worldly-wise"

  WORLDLY, according to the JW Loaded Language Lexicon, means "hopelessly ensnared in Satan's evil, awful, wicked system of things" and doomed for eternal destruction.
