Got rid of some things, I feel relieved
by Mandrake inwell after a long way out, and the divorce of my jw parents, and a long internal struggle, i'm finally living with my mother, openly said to her that i'm not a jw anymore, she's ok with that and getting more and more open-minded every day.
today i visited my self storage space wich i rented after the family split and got rid of all the jw related stuff, my mother only asked me to keep the insight the scriptures volumes... i felt very relieved after disposing those things, one by one, not feeling, i hope my mother is her way to wake up soon :) greetings from santiago, chile!
(you will see some magazines in spanish others in english because i was in the list for the english versions hahaha)

Nothing demonstrates you have the "truth" like writing hateful threatening graffiti all over a woman's property.

Can you think of another group or organization (either religious or secular) whose official policy is to PROMOTE child molesters as long as they are good at keeping secrets?
Why would those in charge fight so hard NOT to change their PROTECTIVE policy toward child molesters?
Birds of a feather

Defender of truth, Thank you for correcting my statement that it was a form. Accuracy is vital at these hearings.
Nevertheless, can you BELIEVE this asinine question? Defend THAT Watchtower!!!

Yesterday I posted a topic with personal details of one of the RC staff.
by umbertoecho ini posted a topic with personal contact information on it.
such stupidity and i do deeply apologise to the person and the commission.. it has been taken down thank fully.. this morning i came skulking out of my cave, and with trepidation started the computer and checked my emails.............. there was a lovely compassionate email from the staff at rc telling me not to be too upset at what i had done.
they said they understood and it was important that i not get too distressed at the error.. then they said they were thankful for all the support and gratitude being shown to them from various parties and other places.

Umberto. unlike the WT$ you acknowledged your mistake, took active steps to correct it, then sincerely apologised. That's what decent people do.

by sowhatnow insomeone please tell me how or if i can find proof that the rumor [that is pasted below] that was posted by a friend [still in, but should know better] on my face book page is false, [which of course we all know it is,] this makes me so angry, i have to stick my neck out and comment on this post but need something to back me up....anyone want to enlighten me where this got started?
i need proof he never said such a thing, it seems to me its false.
whats interesting is this, the bible in the photo accompanying the statement below is the latest version.... [photo].

CalebinFloroda, It's interesting that the NRSV is one of, if not the most highly regarded Bible translations. I say this because up until I was about 9 the WTS almost exclusively used the RSV. I was taught to memorize at least a dozen scriptures from it. When the NWT was used exclusively by JWs I had to unlearn the wording of the RSV and convert to the clumsy wording of the NWT.
If the WTS thought they were improving a respected translation, they were WRONG!

Exposing one's identity. When?
by kairos ini've been toying with the idea of just coming out and posting my name and location as an attempt to be available to locals that secretly browse the forum that have known me for up to 25 years.
( "reaching out", so to speak ).
i'm not da'd or df'd, so this most certainly could end in a dramatic confrontation.

"My wife is seeking professional help with the goal of saving our marriage."
I am so glad to know that, Kairos. This is exactly what she needs right now. It wouldn't be a bad idea if you went too. Your life can't get better until you can work through the anger. The counselor can give you tools to help with that as well as strategies to handle your in-law problems and religious differences.

I recall a form from WTS that is to be filled out by local elder/s when a case of child abuse is handled. Question #9 was especially damning. It asked (I'm paraphrasing) Did the child behave in a way that ENCOURAGED the abuse?
If anyone can show this form to the RC I think it would shine a bright light on the core attitude the Watchtower Society has toward victims of child abuse.
I would like to ask GJ or any other high ranking elder, Do you believe that in certain cases the child "asked for it"? The answer would undoubtedly be "NO" Then pull out the form and ask, Is this form from HQ? Then ask, are you familiar with question #9? Then make the elder read it out loud for the entire world to hear!

Wow, Treckkor, you are either very brave or very pissed! Love the pic of your wedding. I hope Mrs. Kairos can extract herself from her rabid JW family and slowly learn TTATT.
Would she be open to taking a vacation? She needs to get away from all this BS. Sounds like a trip to one of the many awesome spas in your area might be the best gift you could give her right now.
