  i haven't seen anything about this in the news here in the u.s. do the jehovah's witnesses here know what is going on over there?

  Maybe!

  I am treading very carefully with my friend. She is mostly mentally out strictly over this one issue.

  She does a lot of counseling of sisters (non professional) based on her own story of survival and standing up to the Watchtower to get resolution.

  This could be the spark to the tinderbox so to speak, so I want to be careful. I would love her to join me where I am at mentally with this religion but that is a bit selfish. The way I resolve it is by gently introducing things and then waiting to see what she wants to do with it.

  on the next reveal, an investigation into the culture of secrecy within the jehovahs witnesses leads us to the story of one woman who was ostracized after she accused an elder of abusing her.. .

  Im afraid Doc is right. Even my one Witness friend who is somewhat of a child abuse activist within the congregation hasnt heard a word.

  I think it highlights the value of sites like this. If not for being a member here, I would have missed all of it.

  Hi Allison123!

  My suggested question:

  Do you think that policy will change now that the need for change has become clear?

  they are told that persecution is coming and that all will see it.. they are told that there will be lies in the media about us.. they even give the old brother king interview about brothers being jailed.

  the last sentence tony the tiger damn near screams at the camera to stay faithful you integrity keepers... he knows your fathers and husbands may be going to jail.

  this talk is all about damage control.. .

  Did he state that "your fathers and husbands will be going to jail" or is that a subjective statement by the OP?

  Im confused.

  confidentiality.

  how many times does ron de rooy state the importance of jehovah's witnesses being confidential?.

  This is just another example of classic Orwellian doublespeak on the part of the WTBTS and its representatives.
  In JW-land "confidentiality" really means: cover-up

  That is exactly right.

  One evidence of the accuracy of that statement is the fact that elders talk amongst themselves even to other elders in other Halls.

  There are guidelines supposedly about "only giving the details necessary" but as we all know, in the strange workings of the inner world of JWism, elders do what they want.

  Part of "doing what they want" is the unbridled gossiping" that is done by elders to elders after meetings, at Regional and Circuit and Special Assemblies and on phones late at night.

  Australian RC - Hot topic

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i have listened to segments of the hearing.. i am really impressed with the way the rc are well informed about jw procedure and the 'flock book'.. does anyone know how the rc got so clued up?

  are they just that good at what they do?

  (not saying they're not).. have 'mentally diseased apostates(tm)' been of use to the rc?.

  duh! (smacking own head...)

  The victims! Of course! There is the perfect ex JW or "in" JW to tell them first hand isnt there?

  Thanks for mentioning that, i had completely overlooked it- thus the head smack (ouch~)

  Why I believe in God. Why I don't believe in God.

  by The Rebel in

  2. friends

  hi i am delighted to be apart of the community.. having left the witnesses one of my first challenges was my believe in god.

  naturally.. i have concluded that i am alive and conscious.

  now my intuition tells me god exists, but my analytical thinking tells me god does not exist.

  Hi the Rebel,

  There are many viewpoints here. I would say as many as there are eyebrows!

  I picked eyebrows (instead of the usual belly buttons) because I think each of us at some point in this journey reached a point where we held more than one opinion.

  It is human nature to rush in to a nice tight well structured view point. It is because we feel more secure then.

  But free falling is not all bad so dont rush, the worst is over, the journey has begun.
