  back in my teen years this story swept through jw land, that according to, the guinness book of records , freddy franz, was listed as one of the seven, most intelligent , men in the world.

  dose anyone else remember this?

  i remember trying to look it up, but never found anything in print, and ii point that out once or twice , and was told a co, had told about it, and he wouldn't lie!

  I lied to the elders

  by atacrossroads in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i stopped attending meetings all together in january 2015. before that my attendance was irregular at best.

  my husband followed suit a few months ago after months of research, agony, and indecision on his part.

  from the very beginning i laid low and did not share with anyone what i found out about the witnesses because i did not want to be df'd.

  Keep your heads down, the pair of you.
  Try to let the emotions subside a little. Be careful your own mother doesn't try and "set you up" with a second witness.

  That.

  Just get on with your life, try not to get involved in any discussions on the matter.

  Hopefully time will smooth over you family's perceived hurt and they will come round.

  But, if they don't that's up to them, try not to worry about the things you can't change.

  Good luck!

  There's nothing like a JW when it comes to self righteousness and judgement.

  BBC Radio 4. 14th February 2016. ''Sunday'' program with article on Witnesses and child abuse.

  2. child-abuse

  the sunday programme investigates allegations that the jehovah's witness ordered the destruction of documents that could be used during the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse.

  was this in contravention of section 21 of the inquiries act 2005 which is punishable by imprisonment?.

  More to follow ...

  Do we know if they are bound by the dpa yet or if they have claimed exemption?

  It would be amusing if they had claimed exemption as their statement claimed the reason for the instruction to destroy documents was the DPA.
