Why is it so important to them to let child molesters go out in the field ministry?

by Eustace in

what's up with the watchtower society still letting those they know to have sexually abused children go out in the field service despite that being crucial to the ruling against them in the conti suit?

they don't let men with beards go out in the field service in america with the justification that "beards are not the custom" and that therefore they "are not considered acceptable for christian ministers," but having sexually abused a child is somehow acceptable for a christian minister?.

last i checked molesting children isn't considered socially acceptable according to the customs of the united states and certainly finding out that child molesters are allowed to be jehovah's witness publishers is a whole lot more alienating to potential converts than them seeing jehovah's witness publishers with beards.

Yeah you get reprimanded for doing something completely natural like grow a beard.

Yet a prolific pervert ( one of which used to be in my Cong) can freely go out in the ministry studying with anyone.

That's watchtower world for ya 🙄

Today's local watchtower study. On csa! Must read

by nowwhat? in

my wife told me that the wt conductor said in in the strongest most emphatic way.

that all child abusers will now be reported to the authorities whether there are 2 witnesses or not!

and this is new thinking!

UnshackleTheChains

Though they do dance around the fact that child abuse being a criminal act, they have now opened the door slightly further for individuals to contact the authorities if they wish to do so. Hopefully in time their duty of care will encompass elders contacting the authorities when a serious allegation is made. With their rigid 2 witness rule policy, I can't see that happening anytime soon.

If You Were Invited To A Judicial Committee How Did It Go??

by minimus in

was it awful?

did you feel freedom?

was it a kangaroo court!.

UnshackleTheChains

Very intrusive and felt more like an interrogation. Then humiliated by being publicly reproved. Shouldn't have expected anything less from a cult!

Kids being disfellowshipped

by Nikki collins in

so some ex-jws and i were at dinner last night talking about how some of the ones baptized this year were so young.

a few under the age of 10!!

can you imagine if a kid got dfd at that age.... would the congregation shun them?

UnshackleTheChains

Youngest I've personally known as disfellowshipped was a 14yo girl.

This makes my blood boil. What a despicable cult to put a child in such a position. Disgusting

i have read extensively about the origins of birthdays, and i still don't get it.

but it's not what it means today.. even wedding veils were used to ward off the "evil eye".

but it's not what it means today.

If I was still in I would not be enjoying this weekend!

by nowwhat? in

after busting my butt at work this week, half of saturday would be out in service half of sunday would be at the meeting.

then i would be stressing to get the yard in shape for the summer.

and maybe after that have a couple hours to relax!.

Weekends are a chore for j dubs. I hated feeling guilty because I missed field service or a meeting.

Why I now believe Jehovah's witnesses are a cult!

by UnshackleTheChains in

i always tended to avoid using the word 'cult' to describe jehovah's witnesses.

instead, i preferred referring to them as a 'high control group'.

however, having watched the shocking and bizarre behaviour by so called jehovah's witness elders toward eric wilson (borean pickets), this now confirms beyond any doubt in my mind that the watchtower organisation is nothing more than a cult.. i would seriously encourage everyone to watch the video in it's entirety and see how truly cultlike they are.. my jaw still hitting the floor 😮.

IICSA.... Haven't we heard all this before?

by UnshackleTheChains in

haven't we heard all this before?.

UnshackleTheChains

The reason I mentioned this was there was high hopes the charity commission a few years back were going to make an impact on watchtower, but it all kind off fizzled out. So with that in mind, is there much hope that the 'Independent inquiry child sex abuse' will make a difference?

witnesses brag about their brotherhood and incredible love that exists within the organization.

they say they are really the only true religion.

is the jw religion the closest thing to jesus christ himself?.

In a nutshell, the insidiously controlling, intrusive nature of the organisation
