  Who am I? - How to find the well lived life after undue influence

  by Luther bertrand in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i was added fairly recently to the aawa network (thank you richard e. kelly ) and have been a lurker/fader for many years.

  the ex-jw community, from a far, has offered me so many ways to help go through my own thinking while awakening and working through my own crisis of conscience.

  however, i do have a critique of our community.

  Gay advice from the Governing Body

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to them you are not gay if you are attracted to the same sex, it's just hormones and you might grow out of it.. i wonder what hormones in particular they are talking about and if they feel that a female who goes through menopause is in danger of turning gay or even if taking hormones will adjust your thinking?.

  this is from the wt org website.

  I qualify for Mensa and have joined a few online high IQ societies. If you don't mind reading some books and knowing how to take tests, then you and anyone else can join Mensa. As for putting that on your resume, yea that's a tricky one. Some prospective employers will have their preconceived biases towards anyone openly above average intelligence, while others view it as a plus.

  Some days I have sympathy, other days they are the worst cult ever. Despite that, in the back of my mind there's a centeredness of knowing that whatever I do makes a positive difference in the bigger picture of things.

  Is there evidence for networks of abuse?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i tend to avoid the subject because it's too depressing, so i've probably missed lots of discussion about this issue.

  but i read a comment on youtube yesterday that shocked me and made me wonder.

  the person claimed that many years ago abusers in society generally identified jws as a safe haven for abusers and joined en masse order to exploit the situation.

  Slimboyfat you make an interesting post and pose some interesting questions. There is a lot of information to be dug up on this topic, however, like you, I also suspect that there may be a network of pedophiles within the org, perhaps even more than one.
  
  Do you remember Manuel Cano, the bethelite busted for video cam'ing young boys and teens in the Airport bathroom and who had hundreds of child porn DVD's /CD's in his room? Somehow the cleaning maids and his roommate were completely oblivious to this for decades. Although it is possible to think that Manuel Cano kept all the DVD's to himself, it does make you question how he could have remained secret with such a high control group when others were busted for much easier things to hide in their rooms. In addition, with so much pedophilia rampant within the org, I find it difficult to believe that he did not share his collection with other members, and also exchange DVD"s with others in and outside of the Watchtower org.
  
  As for now, we've got suspicions, hunches, and conjecture. However, there is a lot more to dig for. I don't put anything past this organization, however, I also look for evidence so I can continue to write to various officials about it.
  
  Here's a link on Cano http://www.silentlambs.org/bethelitechildmolester.htm

  Then you've still got a lot to learn @ Paul from Cleveland. Long ago learned not to put anything past Watchtower. Happy new year's to you btw.
