Can't deny my JW's past

by StephaneLaliberte in

today was a beautiful day and so, decided to drive by my old town with my wife.

at some point, she asked me to stop talking about jws to which i said: i'm talking about were i lived, what i did and who i knew.

its just that all of it was jws!

I don't feel any need to deny my Jobo past. from the time I left I was aware of the need to eradicate Jobo thinking, and the feelings that certain things brought up in me which were due to the "teaching" , which was basically Mind Control, I needed to identify that I was being triggered, and to approach whatever it was in a new way.

I learned to get rid of any fear of our LGBT+++ friends, to no longer fear Demons, Satan etc, Armageddon etc etc, but most importantly of all, that lingering distrust of "worldly" people.

I am now emotionally free from all that nonsense, and of course mentally free in the sense that I see how very wrong it all was.

My Jobo past was as though I had lived in a nasty, twisted Authoritarian Country, and now I live in a pleasant Country, where I am free to think and say what I think to be right, and, chief of all, I am free to be the Real Me !

Is paedophilia covered up in the UK?

by The Fall Guy in

jimmy saville not being exposed until after he died.

(too well connected with royalty & establishment figures?).

the charities comission "enquiry" into the abuse by jw's resulted in nothing more than a telling-off for the "charity".. the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse (https://www.iicsa.org.uk) has so far been a damp squib.. the muslim paedophile gangs in england were tacitly approved of by police & social services.

This wonderful project to fulfil the needs of Jehovah's wonderfully expanding org seems to be taking a bloody long time ! maybe those "needs" are not so pressing.

But they may now need to speed things up, as no doubt leaving the E.U will mean their existing Properties may well go down in value !

Simon said " At one point I naively thought that pioneers were hardcore, dedicated and zealous ... I realized a lot of them were just lazy frauds, who didn't want to work"

Two of us called on a lovely guy and his Mrs. They invited us in for tea and cakes, we spoke a bit about the Bible etc, and then the lady said " So and So calls on us, I think he is one of yours" ( a local Regular Pioneer), so we said " I guess he has told you all about the Bible then ?" she replied " Oh no, never mentioned it, he just calls in for tea and cakes". Ha Ha !!

Just another piece of Archaeological proof that the Bible is not accurate, or truthful, when it deals with History.

Can You Name ANYTHING That Jehovah’s Witnesses Have Been Right About?

by minimus in

jw
friends

regarding prophecies, i can’t name one thing jws have been correct about.

as a matter of fact nothing stands out to me that shows the witnesses have the truth..

" Smoking is bad for you. Yay."

But it took the Holy Spirit over a decade to catch up with what the Surgeon General of the USA had said about smoking. Damn slow that H.S !

The Children Act - New arrival on Netflix

by WinstonSmith in

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6040662/.

as her marriage crumbles, a judge must decide a case involving a teenage boy who is refusing a blood transfusion on religious principle.. i saw the trailer for this a long time ago and its subject matter immediately got me interested.

it has just been added the netflix catalogue here in australia and i am looking forward to finally watching it.. please, if you've seen it, no spoilers!.

I have read the book, not seen the Movie. I have also read the comments of the book's Author, he was not setting out to expose the JW belief system as the rubbish that it is, that is our job, he wrote a Novel. But, a Novel based upon a real Case, and he sticks much to the facts of the Case, but of course dramatises the lives of the protagonists.

The sad truth about the real boy in the story/case, is that eventually he went back to the JW's, and died for lack of a Blood Transfusion.

JW's now, on the "Knock knocks"

by Phizzy in

hi all, i can just see the damage limitation that the org will have to do, and they will school the drones with some answers to give householders who challenge them about the scandal of child abuse .

.what do you think the jdubs will be told to say ?

to the public ?

Hi all, I can just see the damage limitation that the Org will have to do, and they will school the drones with some answers to give Householders who challenge them about the scandal of Child Abuse

.What do you think the JDubs will be told to say ? To the Public ? A Public that will have seen the T.V progs. on this issue, and so will actually have much more factual information than the JDub !

Here in the U.K we had recently an excellent expose on the national T.V on the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire prog. it contained NOT ONE factual error, and I am sure Trey Bundy's Doc on Oxygen will be equally accurate.

How will JW's try to counter this ?

Article: What Is The Clergy-Penitent Privilege And How Can It Protect Sex Offenders?

by AndersonsInfo in

https://www.oxygen.com/the-witnesses/crime-news/how-clergy-penitent-privilege-may-protect-sex-offenders.

how clergy-penitent privilege may protect sex offenders | crime news.

it’s a practice that is centuries old: confessing one’s sins to a trusted clergy member.

Here in the U.K the Priest Penitent relationship is not protected by Law. So here the JW's have NO excuse for not reporting even a hint of Abuse of a vulnerable person, STRAIGHT AWAY to the Authorities, those trained to deal with it.

How often have they ever done that here in the U.K ? Rarely I would guess. One Elder that I always respected, went to an Elders meeting where they divulged that they knew for sure of a case of abuse by a JW against his daughter and another child, that Elder stood up and said " I don't know about your brothers, but I am going straight to the Police ". Good for him.

A few years later we had a case of a lad around 16 abusing at least one young girl of around 4 years old (sick). One Elder told me that they were not going to involve the Authorities, and mentioned they "had to keep confidentiality", I said " No you DO NOT", pompous prat The Elder had to go and check, presumably with Bethel, he then later told me I was right, and the Authorities were involved, I think though I am right in saying the Parents did this first, because of the dithering of the Elders.

The whole JW situation is a mess of huge proportions, and all because they will not put a proper Programme of Safeguarding in place, and do not instruct their Elders, and parents, to contact the Authorities forthwith. Which is the Moral duty of these people.. Disgusting.
