If some kids got molested, the parents should have told the police, it wasnt the watchtower's fault....

by Joliette in

aint that about a bitch!!!

when my brother said this to me the other day, i tried my hardest to try to explain why the watchtower's polices on sexaul abuse and molestation in the past, and he said that it was the parents fault (not the watchtowers fault) that these children got molested, and that its the parents job to protect the children.

i tried to tell his thick headed, simple minded self that back in the day parents were threated with disfellowshippment and dissassociation if they reported this to the police.

Even today, they will tell you its up to you to report the matter, but that "it will bring reproach on Jehovah's organization." Perverts.

If we lose a few hundred oh well

by RayPublisher in

wasn't there a quote in one of ray's books where a gb member said something to that effect?

they were going to change a policy ("new light" lol) and i think it was grant suiter who said, "if we lose a few hundred oh well we'll gain lots more from this!".

i have both books (hardcopy and pdf) and tried to find it but couldn't.

You're just a number. That should be clear by now.

JW's are allowed to be nudists? Something seems off to me.

New one

i've been lurking on this forum for over a year, and i thought i'd say a quick hello.. .

i was raised as a jehovah's witness and managed to endure past the encouragement that one receives from age 16 onwards about what is holding me back, and never got baptised.

i figured that making one of the most important decisions of my life requires a lot more thought than people seemed to be giving it, and shouldn't be based on emotion as is quite common.. .

Welcome. I am fortunate enough that most of my family and friends still talk to me, even though it isnt the same as it used to be. (I am not DF'd). I completly agree that Ray's books should be read by all witnesses, and even more importantly, by anyone considering baptism. Thanks for joining and sharing.

Interesting video "ex jw elders meeting"

this is a long series.

im finding more and more that jw's are so illequiped for debate, that they cant even make coherent arguments.

Confidential Body of Elder Letters from 1981 through 2006

here it is guys.

this is what darth frosty was talking about in his post the other day (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/149460/1.ashx).

this is a collection of confidential letters from the watchtower society that were sent to the bodies of elders in the years 1981 through 2006. these are the letters that you were never meant to see or read.. there's all sorts of information in them ranging from the boring and mundian to instructions about how to handle child molesters.. many thanks to darth frosty and others (who i'm not sure can be named) who worked very hard and took risks to collect and scan the information.
