this afternoon, i had a vision.
one of the past, present and future.. .
over the past two decades, i recall one distinct, universal phrase being uttered by older jehovah's witnesses on many different occasions:.
@MightyV8 It's just eerie that we ALL know Jehovah's Witnesses who say these words! It's hardly a commercial for their religion?!
@blownaway It's unfortunate, isn't it? In my mind, I see these failed prophecies to Witnesses as this vague (almost mythical) non-issue. By lining up the pictures so closely together (the first woman is Maria Russell and the last child is the Awake! April '15 coverboy), it suddenly becomes very real. Very tangible. Very inescapable.
This is discrimination against pastafarians. #triggered

This afternoon, I had a vision. One of the past, present and future.
Over the past two decades, I recall one distinct, universal phrase being uttered by older Jehovah's Witnesses on MANY different occasions:
"I never thought I'd grow old in this system of things."
Now, they may say it to be bittersweet, but to hear it THAT many times by folks approaching the grave is not just uncanny.
It's f*cking dark.
Watchtower's century-long scam has gone on for far too long. Save the future generations.
Please feel free to use/repost or even covertly show a loved one in an attempt of planting a seed.
Peace out,

a former jehovah’s witness who sexually assaulted three young boys says his homosexual inclinations were repressed by his religion and manifested in his crimes.. gavin andrew lamont, 46, was jailed for four years today for assaulting two vulnerable teenagers in the early to mid-90s and another boy about 20 years later.. lamont encouraged the teens to give him massages and suggested he needed help checking for testicular cancer.. district court judge linda petrusa said lamont, who knew he was homosexual from about age 13, had significant cognitive distortions around sex because of his religious beliefs.. .
she said the victims, who were aged between 14 and 16, were vulnerable because of their youth and lack of sophistication.. judge petrusa sentenced lamont to four years behind bars for indecently dealing with a child and four counts of indecent assault.. lamont was kicked out of the mundaring congregation in 1997 after one of his victims complained to other members, but was reinstated after doing counselling with elders.. he was kicked out of the congregation for a second time in 2014 after another victim made a complaint.. lamont’s crimes came to the attention of police last year through the royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse.. defence lawyer seamus rafferty described the case as complex, saying lamont struggled with his sexuality because his religion told him it was a sin.. he told the court the church was the essence of lamont’s being and said his client tried to repress his sexuality and ended up behaving in “naïve, unsophisticated and pathetic ways”.. lamont’s parents and sister are all living with complicated health issues and rely heavily on his help and care.. mr rafferty asked judge petrusa to give lamont a conditional suspended jail term, saying he was the glue that was holding his family together.. “this is a case for the exercise of mercy, its mercy towards them (his family) and nobody else,” he said.. judge petrusa accepted a prison term would be tough on lamont’s family but said an immediate jail term was the only appropriate punishment.. in a statement to the court, one of the victims said he felt that he was “forever stained” by lamont’s crime.. he said the abuse had made him self-conscious in his dealings with his own child.. lamont will be eligible for parole after spending two years behind bars.. .
Good intel, @stuckinarut2. If this glaring scandal can't wake up your elder father, then it's time to pull the cord on his critical thinking. I'm calling it. 00:38 Australian Eastern Standard Time.
has anyone else seen the movie "confessions of a teenage jesus jerk"?.
im still processing it, and trying to work out my thoughts..... i would be interested in others thoughts..
I felt shattered after watching it. It almost made me withdraw completely from all things ex-JW because I just wanted to shove that cult as far back into the recesses of my mind as possible. But I guess suppressing it will only cause it to come out at a later time.
The raw scenes of teenage humiliation at the hands of some Watchtower parents struck close to home. Natural, normal development turned into a rage-filled, devastating ordeal... The realistic depiction of a title-hungry parent more concerned about his status in the congregation than over the healthy functioning of his child... The trauma of four angry elders interrogating an impressionable mind, pulling every dirty trick to try and trip him up... And finally, the hanging...
The hanging.
That would have been me after waking up had I not been a mother.
i had to go into a office close to a supermarket on a very high traffic expressway with next to no persons on the street anyway ever near.
i see this jw lady about 65 yrs old standing there alone with 2 bags of groceries staring at the catholic church one side across the interstate road and the kh across the other side of the highway.

This guy makes the rambling tirades uttered by Tony Morris III sound on par with the Dalai Lama's eloquence.

@JunkYardDog: "I f"cked your little sisterIn the back of your KINGDOM HELL".
Sounds like you must love and support the current JW child abuse policies that protect crazies like you.

Anyone notice something gravely wrong with this scenario?
"Lamont was kicked out of the Mundaring congregation in 1997 after one of his victims complained to other members, but was reinstated after doing counselling with elders.
He was kicked out of the congregation for a second time in 2014 after another victim made a complaint."
The only reason another young child had his life destroyed was because Lamont WAS A FREE MAN! Back in '97, if the elders had GONE TO THE POLICE, they would have spared another victim from being traumatized at the hands of this pedophile! Those elders should be accountable for not shielding the youths in the "flock" from a child molester! As a mother (f*ck that - as a HUMAN BEING) his makes me so frustrated and deeply angry at the organization's detestable code of silence.
