Great intro ElderInNewton!
It's wonderful to hear a success story every once in awhile.
Welcome!
well another big bad elder here just wanting to say sorry.. i'm sorry that so many were treated like crap, and shown that god's love is not to be found around jehovah's witnesses.
i'm sorry that inadvertently i've likely taught many to judge and as such see that racism permeates every corner of the jw world, else why else would someone be of the world, or even inactive.
i'm sorry i sat in on a jc, and voted to df.

i commented on this on another thread- but i believe this has enough importance to create a thread about this situation in and of itself.
at the current district convention as you know the wt society released a " sophie & caleb " video allegedly warning parents about the dangers of child abuse.
they don't really use the words " child abuse " in the video - but just say if " someone tries to touch you in a manner you aren't comfortable with " and portray it as a cartoon !

Your CONSCIENCE?!!!? You CONSCIENCE can protect you? !!!
You have to be fucking kidding me.
So, basically they're blaming the child. His CONSCIENCE wasn't working properly and he submitted to a molester. Fuckin unreal. . . .
Now if you don't see it, think of it this way: if this was a video of two teens on a date, and one teen starts putting the moves on the other, IT IS YOUR CONSCIENCE THAT KICKS IN AND SAYS THIS IT WRONG!!!! I get that. BUT. . .
We're talking about CHILDREN AND CHILD MOLESTERS YOU SHITHEADS!!!!!
Consciene has not a godammned fucking thing to do with it.
BTW - I said nothing to my wife about this video before she watched. Her fuckin jaw dropped to the floor when they said YOUR CONSCIENCE WILL PROTECT YOU.
Someone should make this available to the media. It's freaking unreal.

so ofs was at the wt this morning, and on par.
14 the question was, "what trust can a faithful christian whose relative is disfellowshipped have?".
after awhile when no one else raised their hands ofs did, and was called on.. ofs commented, "one of jw can have the trust that god will lovingly give them the ability to uphold the disfellowshipping arrangement by totally shunning family members.".
my wife has a friend at her kh.
she is 37 and her friend is 88. i know it sounds kind of strange but they are both the wives of ubm so they kind of stick together.
my wife is very sincere in this friendship and this lady is a nice person.
Oops!
I accidentally hit the "like" instead of "dislike" button on the OP. . . . .
Ummmmmmmm. . .. . .Really????????
the difficulty of finding a marriage mate is well known for sisters.
but i would say it's hard for brothers also.
i was talking to a jw last night.
Take a look at the 2014 Pew survey.
You'll realize why this-- and a host of other issues, particularly MONEY-- have become problematic for our favorite cult.
