  Should I Return?

  by Darth Rutherford in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  we all are at different stages in our journey from the watchtower organization.

  some of us have been free for years, and some of us are at that moment of initial discovery.

  as for me, though i began to conscientiously fade just a few months ago, my discovery actually began years ago - even while serving as an elder.. i have no illusions that this journey will be easy.

  Who knows GB email adresses?

  by mauiboy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just an idea: could we contact members of the gb thru email...or even snail mail, to let them know how many of us are aware of what is on the horizon in australia with the wwc/unthank/victoria court case with hopes of urging them to come clean.

  if i were amongst the gb members, i would be losing sleep after watching whats happening to penn states joe paterno, jerry sandusky and mcqeary for taking part in the pedophilia scandal cover-up and the responsibility they did not fulfill in contacting the the police to handle the situation instead of handing it of to their next-up superior.

  i doubt the gb would be so honest as to take any action, but it would be interesting to test the idea.......make them squirm, perhaps.

  by mankkeli in

  1. jw

  is it really possible to continue as a jw but not believing in it anymore.

  for how long can one keep up with this pace of life?.

  i will appreciate it if any scientific study had been done on this and what has the result showed?..

  How important is or will be the WWC case? too good to be true?

  by Aussie Oz in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  how important is it now and how important will it be?.

  i think of some of the cases in history that the wt has fought.... the 40s and 50s were spent defending the right to preach.

  ok pretty important gains for everyone in freedom of speech etc.

  Media notification?

  by mauiboy in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i would love to see the wtb&ts/ wwc case in victoria austrailia come to national or even international media attention.

  i plan on finding as many media sites 'contact us' as i can in the next few days.

  if enough of us email/phone/written bltz hit the tv and newspaper media asking for coverage of the story as it unfolds in the coming months, maybe someone will pick it up... anyone up for sending some emails?
