Yet another JW child abuse cover-up in the UK news...

bradford pedophile massimo capazzo was disfellowshipped for grooming and abusing two young boys, but the elders never told the police.. he was only prosecuted after turning himself in.. not surprisingly, both victims now need professional help and wrestle with "feelings of worthlessness and guilt.".

Mormons getting hollowed out: The tipping point has occurred.
by Qcmbr in

2. beliefs
ever since mitt romney turned the spotlight on the lds church a growing tsunami of disaffection has been accelerated and brought to a head.. the lds core faithful members are leaving in increasing numbers such that growth has not simply stagnated in the west but it has actively reversed.

to their credit the church is responding aggressively but not only is it too late, it is an impossible task.

you can only paint sh*t so many ways.

WT August 15, 2013 QFR - Sitting next to a disfellowshipped child at meetings
by Designer Stubble in
1. watchtower
2. bible
page 8 of the latest wt (insider version) has a whole page dedicated to the question whether it is appropriate to sit next to a disfellowshipped child at meetings.. not sure how to paste this in, but check jw.org.

perhaps someone can do this for me.. horrible, no words really on how pharisee like their cult grip and control has become!.

first of all, without any shame they are talking about disfellowshipped minors.

WT SHUNNING POLICY: What has it done, or could it do to you?
by flipper in
1. jw
2. friends
hi y'all, this is mrs. flipper.

please share your experiences with this, or possible consequences of being outed.. this recent controversy and resulting arguments all stem from people being outed - possibly losing friends and family because most jw's will blindly follow the watchtower's rules to shun them.. among people i know and experiences read here, the grief and loss caused by this is terrible, and maybe now is a good time to put up some experiences here, and put the focus on the worst villians of all - wt policymakers..

looks like the awaa people are here to stay.

i sense they have withered the rentless criticism and now have been refined for the long haul.

they have been washed in the previous blood of jesus christ and declared fit to the fine fight.
