In the end after the BBC trashed this man’s name, he took the BBC to court and won... in his interview he said that if he was the common man and not financially secure, that would have been impossible to clear his name as he would’ve be forever branded with something that he really didn’t commit.

So no... I hear the media and then make up my own mind.

In the joke side... maybe Mr Trump is onto something with his “fake news” disposition 😆

Ladies and Gents.... Domestic violence!

by Theonlyoneleft in

domestic violence in the “tooth”... is this a thing?!.

you are starting to know me by now as i’m always full of questions... my clogs are always in motion and never stop... so another question for you to give me some guidance if you can.

based on pasts experience or cases you might heard of or seen, what advice could you give me in helping someone that is a jehovah witness, married with another jw but lives a marriage that is plagued by emotional domestic abuse and financial control?

Thank you for your responses so far.

physical abuse is not yet presiding in the home, “the odd shoving out of the way”. Who knows if this will become worse in time?

The control is constant belittling, anger rages, ignoring ideas or pleas of help, even in case of illness.

undermining authority within the home. Constant causing excuses to cause unnecessary stress.

Cutting contact with the school by requesting only the abuser will be contacted in case of any school needs. So vital information is not passed on.

keeping the mail box locked and the only person allow to access it.

Control of finances so much that is causing hardship within the family such as feeding the children, but this person will splash on take away foods on itself, while dinner has been made and served for the entire family.

Keeping the home cold in winter so does not pay high electricity bills. ** this really impacts the family***

leaving the home with the kids without informing the wear abouts of the children, sometimes from morning to night.

Etc etc....

Elders have visited this family various times, the result is an improvement of days to go back to the abuse as normal behaviour.

yes the submissive thing is big in this case, “submission and things will change with my actions” (I’ve been told) the victims idea of keeping things quiet....until now hasn’t worked as the other part often mentions...”are you trying to show me how better witness you can be than me?!”

Person involved feels that needs to stay to improve the situation.

So... in light on new details and please no judgment... how can I help?

This person has shorten the relationship with us in fear of being judged.... I’ve been told to hold my tongue and give advice to be a better spouse and witness.

Young children are much involved.

How would you go about trying to open this persons eyes? 👀

thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Thank you for all of your comments, is good to see things in a different perspective 🙂.

smiddy3 I really like the idea of passing on bits of me to help others in need...after all life is precious... I’m sure I won’t need my organs anymore.

I have also thought give myself away for scientific purposes?! 🤓

but if so no organ donations will be allowed....then whom ever can go down the pub, have a pint and celebrate my life. Sorted.

"Gem from the November 2019 WT. Reject apostate material because JWs trust in "their brothers."

by Daniel1555 in

dear friends.

i didn't post for a while, but i still enjoy the great jwn community.. just wanted to share a "gem" from the november 2019 study watchtower.. paragraph 8 from the article "are you maintaining your large shield of faith?".

satan, “the father of the lie,” uses those under his control to spread lies about jehovah and about our brothers and sisters.

Theonlyoneleft

Trust our brothers And Sisters!... they forgot that bit.

Anyhooo.... how can brothers be trusted if they are themselves imperfect?

And are not these same brothers AND sisters that would turn on anyone for anything other than a small infringement?!

There’s no trust inside of Congregations... it’s a pretend game that some are better at than others.

Everyone has to watch their own backs to FIT IN with the purpose of it all.

This simple hypocrisy should signal not a true love religion.

I mean, if you are no longer a Jehovah witness (KH ceremony) what would be your choice of ceremony? Who would be your speaker choice?

I only ask because when my mum passed away... even though she wasn’t a JW she did get a witness inspired funeral by my jws family (she would’ve be proud as my brother did the speech ) BUT not as happy with a clean cut funeral service .

I would never would like this to happen to me, So I’m gathering ideas WAAYYY ahead of time(I hope 🙂)!
