of course everyone knows about the news of the candace conti child abuse case which has gone viral , ( one would have to live in a cave, under a rock, or another planet not to know about it ).
that being said - it may very well be that those jehovah's witnesses who do not use the internet, or read newspapers, or in simple english are neanderthal's, still living in the 19th century or before , out of fear of negative reprisal from wt authorities may have not even heard about this case because they are in the habit of not watching the news or using the internet.. so- with those particular type of people in mind my son flipper jr. & myself decided to print up about 20 copies of the candace conti child abuse lawsuit from the england daily mail issue , here's the link : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2160605/candance-conti-molested-jehovahs-witnesses-member-age-nine-wins-28milion.html?ito=feeds-newsxml .. so what we did is since we are doing some out of town jobs in several counties we figured we'd leave these child abuse news releases under jw car windshields at kingdom halls while they are out in field service.
we left about 15 so far at 3 different kingdom halls under car windshields .
Good job Sr.& Jr. Flipper that's a fabulous idea.

i've been involved with the witnessess since 1976. my ex-wife was a baptised sister who fell in with the wrong crowd and left the fruth when she should have been disfellowshipped.
thats another story.
after returning home in 1980 from working in the u.s. navy, i contacked her parents and in 1982 started studying for ernest.
Thomask9: Welcome to the board. When I was 20 I grew a beard and caught HELL from the elders in my hall. They eventually disfellowshipped me for refusing to shave it off. Of course they didn't put that down as a reason to the society, because it's not a disfellowshiping offence.
Lord knows what they said to justify it, but whenever 3 men get together in a J.C. They can do whatever they want and no questions asked as long as they all agree. I know this to be true because I'm a former elder.
Of course that was many years ago that that happened, but be careful and step lightly around those brainwashed J-dubs. Look at J.W.facts.com and read Ray Franz books crises of conscience and in search of Christian freedom.
Dont get involved any further in this CULT.

check out this thread on jwtalk.
the level of cognitive dissonance is astounding.
Jw apologists deny child abuse,because they are pedeophiles themselves and don't want to be exposed.

a few months ago, i posted about a study who was getting baptised this summer at the upcoming dc.. we discussed a few things on fb.
i showed him evidence that the watchtower does not have the truth.
the last i heard was that he had gone to the elder's with the information i had given him.. i haven't heard from him since.. however, yesterday he contacted a jw, elder's son on fb.
Uk_ex_jw: Good job, well done faithful slave. Your award will be great in the heavens.

i was on a date tonight, eating in a cuban restaurant owned by jws (they have never met me, incidentally, the food was really good) when i realized that there was not just one, but two conventions in town.
one was the standard english speaking district convention folks, the other was the asl folks using the assembly hall in town for their district convention.. my date, who knows all about my jw past, tries to strike up a conversation with some of them sitting at the bar, asks them what they are in town for, etc.
they just said "for a convention".
I dont know about you guys, but I wouldn't go out of my way to preach after all the attention about the Candace conti court case. I would avoid even wearing the come look at me I'm a pedeophile supporter badge.
Most of them may be perv's for all we know.

jwn needs to form a committee to collect, organize and disseminate information to candace conti's lawyers.. .
several valid points have been made on this forum about the dishonest reasonings and tactics used by wt lawyers during and after this conti trial.
exposing the wt and using its own printed track record against it is what the good folks at jwn do best.. .

hey people it's been a tough couple of weeks for me, my wife and i have seperated i expected this, but it has been much more difficult than expected.
my family has gotten a million times more distant because of my inactive status and questioning ofthe org.
i do have wordy friends but still feel pretty bad being alone i have even contemplated returning to meetings for the sole purpose of not losing y family and life, but i cannot fathom the thought of bowing down to their rules and sacrificing my own integrity.
Free: Dont revert back to slavery. I've not been to a meeting in 9 years and even though I was a former elder I knew that leaving was the right thing to do. So much hypocrisy that exist in this man made organization. It is very hard to cope but please do more research jw facts.com and read Ray Franz books COC and in search for Christian freedom.
I was always worried that I never did enough because that was what I heard from the platform. It's hard but we are here for you. I was fading and never asked questions until a ex-bethelite helped me to think about the organization. His experiences helped me due to the hypocrisy he had seen in bethel.
There is so much information that it will overwhelm you but study,read, and learn. Do not give up.

my dad now an ex witnesses was visited last sunday by an active witness who said that during the special talk in the assembly in colchester england they would be advised to begin stockpiling food and water for what could a economic meltdown!.
my dad reminded him about the ancient israelites who relied on jehovah and were provided with mana after their escape from egypt, the point was lost on him!.
have the governing body become a pseudo survivalist regime, and where is their faith!!.
LOL!!! Where is their faith in the living God? If all these things were to come about at the end of 2012 they would not need to worry. The fact that they are stressing over hoarding supplies, shows they are guided by MEN.
Just go ahead and drink the kool aid and die.

well hello everyone.. after some thought, i realized that i've created a middle world for myself, that is neither jw, nor included in the other 99% of the population.
in fact, living here in jwn is like a cong sometimes.
the rumours, the gossip, the clicks, it's all here, if that's what u want.. what's happened to me is that i'm almost in a jw state of mind with the small group mentality.
I will miss you wha happened, God speed.

go after them and prosecute them - there is a new precedent that was read today!.
philadelphia a roman catholic church official was convicted friday of child endangerment but acquitted of conspiracy in a groundbreaking clergy-abuse trial, becoming the first u.s. church official convicted of a crime for mishandling abuse claims.

Avatar: I whole heartedly agree. If I were an elder right now I would be sh**ing my pants. Now is the time to exit this horrible SATANIC CULT. if they think this is Gods organization they are demented. Child abusers and their protectors who hide them have no sympathy from me or other people who love justice.
May the chips fall where they may. Look out WB&TS we are waiting for your downfall.
