  Email from my grandmother yesterday.

  here is an email that my grandmother sent me yesterday.. .

  shawn, it's very difficult & sad to come to this decision, but because of your attitude towards the truth & us personally (thinking that we are stupid) we're going to treat you as a disfellowshipped person from now on.

  actually, you're worse than them because usually they know they have not kept their oath to jehovah & don't speak abusively of the organization and don't turn apostate.

  How many JW pedofiles do you personally know?

  by oldlightnewshite in

  i was just thinking that out of the 200 jws that i actually know, at least 4 of them to my knowledge are pedophiles.

  i know for a fact, through personal confidences.

  that means, as far as my circle of jovo friends/acquaintances goes, 2% of them are kiddy fiddlers.. without mentioning names or details, how many do you know of for a certainty to be pedos, and what percentage does it work out at, considering all your circle of jovo friends?.

  1 elder was in the Tamworth congregation I was at as a teenager. He outed himself by keeping a diary of his exploits which his wife found.

  He had molested all 5 of his daughters and their even had sex with their goat. He was jailed on a unrelated fake injury at work insurance scam for 7 years.

  He remarried and was reinstated not long after he got out of jail.

  if so, did you enjoy the show?.

  i loved it.

  missed quite a few episodes due to attending kh meetings, but i'm making up for that.. the show reminds me so of growing up in a large family, having to share everything, and looking out for each other..

  'Grandpa Walton' Will Geer was gay in real life and 'Grandma' Ellen Corby was also suspected of being lesbian.

  Not that theres anything wrong with that.

  by MrFreeze in

  or agnostics too.

  are you open about your beliefs (or lack thereof i should say)?

  when people talk about anything religious, do you mention that you don't believe in god?

  I have zero christians friends.

  The last one was a neighbour who was a Catholic single mother of 7 but that was years ago and she knew I was a non believer.

  We had a falling out over her barking dogs.

  How Come I Rarely See People In Field Service, Vs The 1980-1990s Doing House2House?

  by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  field service hours have hit new records each year, but i am seeing less people working the territory.

  where is all the time spent, that people are putting in the field ministry?

  it's been close to ten years, since i have seen people working certain territories.

  Who's to say the numbers aren't fudged right at the top. After all they wouldn't wanna discourage the brothers with numbers going backward..

  All religions are struggling these days. I drove past a catholic church the other day after service and ever single person was over

  60 years of age. This generation aint buying the fairytale anymore.
