  An interesting book

  by joao in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  can anyone tell me the reason why jw.org has never mentioned this book: the obedience of a christian man, by william tyndale?

  i mean, they talk and write articles about his translation of the bible, about him being against the pope, etc.

  so, why didn't i ever read or hear about this interesting book?.

  A question about pedophilia

  by joao in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i've been absent for a while, because i've been focusing more in helping portuguese readers know the truth about jw.

  we're trying to form an association in portugal to help people abused by religious and non-religious organisations.

  i've also been trying to get a little away of these issues because my life has been really complicated since i slammed the door on jw's face!.

  Leaving JW - My own experience

  by joao in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as some of you may know, i disassociated myself from wt$ last april.

  and i did it in the noisiest way i could find: i wrote my disassociation letter and made sure to send it to all elders of the two congregations in my town and to all jws whose email address i possessed.

  i knew this would bring loads of issues because my wife was in as well as our younger daughter.

  The problem of questioning or the lack of politeness

  by joao in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a forum is a place where people should be able to talk to each other, to question, to have meaningful interactions with others in a polite and educated way, to contribute for the growth of one another.

  it seems that, here, there are some people who think that the others know nothing.

  they have all the facts, all the truth and have the disrespectful attitude of ignoring concrete and respectful questions.

  Family division

  by joao in

  1. social
  2. family

  the worst part of my experience of getting rid of the shackles of wt is not the shunning.

  i can live with that.

  if people don't want to talk to me, there are many more who do!

  Mind control

  by joao in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  wt has really been doing a great job at mind-controlling their members.

  how can people who say they are your friends not even want to know why you're leaving when you want them to know?!

  eh!

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i sent my disassociation letter two days ago!

  i couldn't stand it anymore!

  so many lies, the exploitation of sincere people, the ridiculous amount of rules and all this protection of pedophiles, plus the life of gb as if they were wealthy dictators!
