Interviews I've seen with the Wayon's indicate that their parents are "in the faith" i.e. JWs.
They had a great story about the parents walking out of their movie "SCARY MOVIE" very early, in disgust (of course, the seemed to please the Wayon's greatly).
They said their mother later said to them about the short part of the movie she stayed to watch: "It was funny, but not Momma's kind of funny."
They themselves did not indicate they were JWs, they only said their parents are dubs.
please note, this is a different question than, 'how misguided or deceived are they?
feel free to answer them both, if you like, but i'm just wondering, do most witnesses know that something is happening this week?
or has the wts managed to keep them in the dark completely?
I really doubt any R&F are aware.
Within the bOrganization, good news travels at light speed (and usually gets even better in the process). Bad news is stifled.
anyone here ever been a practicing amish ?
i always wondered what life was like in the amish community.any help would be appreciated.i did see the witness movie with harrison ford and thought it was a good movie ,but was it in anyway realistic?
inquiring minds wanna know.
If you want to hear VERY funny songs, with new lyrics song to Rock&Roll classics, check out ELECTRIC AMISH:
You will be glad you did.
1. if your reaction to someone wearing a cross is the same as a vampire's, you might be a jw.
2. if you think demons can reduce their size to fit in jewelry, furniture, books, or into blue smurfs you might be a jw.
3 if you equate the numbers 1 to 5 with hours on a time slip, you might be a jw (just not a very good one)
Excellent work, Fatal Error. Very funny!
today i called my non j.w.
sister.
i had sent her the silentlambs website and some information on it.
My two cents, your personal experience should speak volumes to your brother. Assuming he believes you and knows the details of your story as you've explained here, that should be a good common ground your sister can ask him: "Why didn't they report XXXXXXXX when he was beating the stuffing out of our sister?" and "Do you think that not reporting was correct?" and "Would you handle it differently now?"
He might actually believe what he is saying, and he might actually report abuse when he comes across it. Then again, he may be one of the good ones and we will welcome him here soon.
Now, I don't believe they (WT) have learned their lesson, and I suspect they will still "cover up" rather than report. However, even taking your brother's suggestion at face value, it raises the question: why would "God's Organization" have made such obvious mistakes in the past? Does that sound like it was "spiritual food delivered at the proper time"??? How would he feel if we were talking about some other organization or religion. Would he so easily dismiss years of cover-up? I think not!
that's what the watchtower's lawyer maintains.
does canada have a statute of limitations?
in the u.s. there have been reports of abuse by priests alleged to have occurred 20 or more years ago.
From the story:
Church lawyer Colin Stevenson was challenging the woman's first-day testimony on the stand when she began crying.
"If you don't accept (the woman's) recollection you end up in a situation where you have to question seriously all her recollections," he said.
Interesting to see the gyrations the defence is using. The above quote implies that they are questioning whether or not Vicki was molested. Seems like they have forgot that during their opening statements they said that they were not questioning whether or not she was abused. They are snakes, but then again, that is what def. is supposed to do.... even if it tears apart the Plaintiff.
Vicki, our thoughts are with you and our fingers are crossed for you.
i grew up as a witnness, and was baptised, but currently not attending.

Thanks in advance for not feeding the troll.

These pictures above show the twin towers and a plane. I'm confused. Did the Watchtower prophesize about the Sept 11 attacks? It sure look like it. Could you please exlain why these pictures are on the 70s and 80s covers of Watchtower magazines? I am only 13 years old and am very curious about this. Thank you and God bless A fellow Sister :)Once again, I appreciate your suggestions in how to reply to this young sister, both serious and not-so-serious. Thanks everbody! ~Quotes http://quotes.jehovahswitnesses.com
