So, is it the publicity, or act itself that "brings reproach on Jehovah's name"?

by stuckinarut2 in

as we all sadly know, a common expression used by the society and elders in cases of abuse, or scandals, is "if you talk about this, you will bring reproach on jehovah's name!".

this is uttered in order to deter making something known.. but really, if it is a case of abuse, is not the act itself the thing that brings "reproach on jehovah"?.

making it known is not the problem.. rather hiding it, or not disclosing it to authorities is the thing that brings reproach!.

Groundbreaking. Since God sees all things, the act itself should be regarded as the reproachful thing.

I've never thought of it like that. Good post!

from facebook:just saw my jw mother after not seeing her for more than 2 years.

when i do see her, it is brief, she never asks about my life, doesn't ask about my 4 children her grandchildren, doesn't ask about my grandchildren...her great grandchildren, she doesn't ask about my other 2 brothers that she is also alienated from, she doesn't ask about my brothers family.

she doesn't talk about the jw/org either.

I am grateful for leaving the watchtower corporation. Innit!

by punkofnice in

i dislike long topics......so here it is.. i suffered for my religion, now it's your turn.. when i first left the corporation my life exploded into a suicidal chaos.. my family broke up.

i lost my so called friends.. luckily, i had worldly friends from all walks of life that supported me, even though they had no idea why i was so suicidal.

in as much as they hadn't left cults.. i went from the corporation to a baptist church.

That is awesome!!! (not the Black Death part, but your band)

The 70s and 80s saw some incredible music from English composers. I had a thing with Jimmy Kaleth (lead singer from Jonesy and Gold) back in '10. He's in Brighton right now. Still on friendly terms : ). Don't want to hijack your thread, but have to share this oldie from Jonesy:

Any Kiwi Elders Here?

by richgirl in

it's rachel from new zealand here.

i am currently helping a nz journalist source potential interviewees for a short documentary she is making about child sexual abuse issues among jws in new zealand.

nothing of this nature has been seen in the news in nz before so this is quite exciting!

Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho

Hey Rachel, I'm forwarding this to a New Zealand contact I have. Hopefully he and his wife can assist : ).

Can all 7 members of the Governing Body ride in this elevator at the same time?

by Alfred in

in case the picture didn't load.... i'm referring to an elevator with a (quite common) weight capacity of 1,500 lbs.. would the 7 members of the governing body exceed this weight limit??

david splane: 195 pounds.

stephen lett: 205 pounds.

Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho

@punkofnice Fkn lol. Mark Sanderson is probably bald because his wife kept harassing him to lose that extra five pounds, so he just shaved off all his body hair.

As for boobies... you know how Baywatch was iconic for Pam Anderson's tits? JW Broadcasting is renown for Mark Sanderson's C-cups. What I'd give to see those puppies jiggling in slow motion.

2nd Pedo In My Old Congregation Has Been Discovered

by pale.emperor in

i learned today that a "brother" from my former congregation has been arrested.. the rumor mill was in overdrive (you know how the jws are), my ex-wife and a pimo member filed me in just an hour ago.

both gave 95% the exact details so i take it as legit.... when i used to do sound desk there was a brother in his late 40s/early 50s who for some reason always had a tan and always sat at the back of the hall.

he was a loner, i used to feel sorry for him so would make small talk while i was setting up the sound desk and he was sitting there.

Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho

He can kiss that tan goodbye in prison. His head deserves to be more than photoshopped on somebody else's body.

@punkofnice You wouldn't say Mark Sanderson is large? Look at those stumpy fingernails:

I bet this gravy-sweating, fat f*ck deep fried his hands before biting those nails.
