I believe that the greater percentage of JWs-You Will Not Be Able to Help, no Matter What Facts You Show Them.

by John Aquila in

so i ran into this brother whom ive known for a while and the conversation led into me being invited to come back to the kingdom hall.

we talked for about an hour during which time i explained to him 607 being the wrong date and a lot of other stuff including the child abuse cases in australia.

but what i wanted to relate was the last few minutes of our conversation.

Yeah, that is a pretty disheartening conversation, JOHN AQUILA.

But in the end if someone wants that crap, by all means they can have at it.

ONE pedophile and TWO victims per Congregation

by Marvin Shilmer in

"sadly, though, most [pedophiles] go unpunished by authorities today.

in australia, for example, it has been estimated that only 10 percent of offenders are prosecuted, and few are convicted.

other lands have had a similar record.

I see the public demand happening in Australia over what Watchtower has done with reports of child molestation. My hope is that the same scrutiny occurs in other societies, communities and nations. .. ..

. .. . and "lands," please don't forget the "lands." 😉

New video "Jehovah Has Done So Much for Me"

by NoIdeaWhatToBelieve in

hey all,.

have you seen the new video on http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/activities/living-bible-principles/adult-survivor-child-abuse-video/ ?.

isn't this too much of a coincidence?

breakfast of champions

Wow. They have a lot of fuckin nerve to put this out there right now. . . .

So let me get this straight:

Will Jehovahs witnesses ever involve women in the decision making process in the congregation?

NO

Will Jehovah's witnesses put aside the 2 witness rule in cases of abuse?

NO

Then what will Jehovah's witnesses do in response to the royal commission?

Publish a three minute propaganda piece.

Discussing the RC with a friend and my JW wife was listening.

by Driving Force in

i am fuming at the moment and my wife has made me so angry.. i live in germany and an ex jw, a friend of mine is also ex jw but does not understand english so i was giving him a rundown on the friday session of the rc with gj.

my wife was in another part of the house but heard my phone ring and so she came to listen, i did not realize this, because when the phone rang i closed two doors between myself and my wife.

she opened the first door and started listening to the conversation.

Ugh, horrible. So sorry. But I think OPPOSTATE is right: your wife is a cult victim, and the screaming and crazy behavior is just a symptom of it.

I hope things get better.

by umbertoecho in

straight after the commission ended today within minutes, the phone rang.
