Jehovah's Witness teen happy to be 17 years old
Treatments working for leukemia sufferer
Shunned father's daughter is undergoing alternative chemotherapy treatment at an undisclosed location in North America. She made headlines earlier this year when she refused to receive blood transfusions. Her battle has torn her family apart. Her parents are now embroiled in divorce proceedings, split over her refusal to undergo blood transfusions.

with working on client's projects and playing on this board i finally squished in some time in to finish my site.
it isn't anything fancy with animations and shockwave magic shooting all over the place like i have done in the past.
it is simple, clean, and straight forward boring html.. the work is just a small portion of what i have done over the last year or so.
Great work Dave!

Hi Qwerty,
There are some of thes break-away groups in Eastern Europe. But this "Union of JW's" is just the legal name in use by thes Brooklyn-loyal Witnesses. I just checked http://www.jw-media.org/ . This official WT-site mentions the same attacks.
Greetings,

Hi
Syndromology ,
Yeah that was me. In January there was a full page article in the biggest newspaper of the Netherlands (De Telegraaf) about me. It was so big they didnt have enough space for one page (the second part of the article was further on in the newspaper). I was a little embared it was so big, thats why I never told it on this board

Hi Syndromology,
Are your parents from the Dutch Caribbean (I speak a few words Papiamento)?
Sorry for the 'exxxxxagerating'. I have to respect if someone beliefs in the Devil. For me that's a little bit difficult because I don't believe in God either (but that is another discussion).
There is sure more abuse than van den Heuvel says. I know also some very sad cases from our country.

Hi
Syndromology
, welcome to this board!
I am also from Holland and have a broad network of contacts, but you are the first person who reports that it is common within the Organization that sexual abuse goes hand in hand with devil worship.
On a Dutch discussion-board
you told us something more about your therapy sessions. These sessions are based on the teachings of a natural healer named
J. Korthuis. In the scientific community his method is seen as
quackery. I am also very skeptic about his methods.
Although I did not partake in the Discussion on the Dutch Board, I have seen there that you are quite obsessed with Satan an his demons
It is very good that also child abuse cases in The Netherlands and other countries come to light, but lets be careful to make a rash conclusion regarding the involvement of devil worship in child abuse.

BTW
Sorry for this attackful welcome ;)
when i surf on this discussion board i feel a lot of anger.
this is totally understandable because a lot of us suffered or still are suffering from their association with the watchtower society.
some of us are victims of child abuse.
Hi RandomTask,
" When it comes to blood and pedophiles, these aren't just "issues" that need to be dealt with, they are at the core of their belief system!" Of course it aren't just issues that need to be dealt with like it's some minor defect! When faced with problems like pedophiles and blood transfusions (especially when minors are involved) I think it is necessary that the government intervenes.
"Besides can you honestly tell me that even if they changed their stance on blood and "two witnesses" for pedophiles that you would go back to an organization that has such a grip over your own family for them to shut you out of their life for what you have done?" No, I never would turn back to the Org. But if you don't agree with a religion you don't have to have the opinion that this religion has not the freedom (of course with some limitations) to exist.
"You know its evil when you see people in the congregations nodding their heads when they are told not to independently think for themselves." Besides the 'major issues' (bllod, child abuse, shunning) this is also one of the issues that have to be fought against.
" So when people on this board express hate for the organization, they are justified." Yes, there is a time for hate and there is a time for love. But I think it's for your own benefit if you let hate block your own recovery process. Hate is one of the stages of a recovery process; not the final stage of recovery.

Minimus,
Yes, I am Disfellowshipped (for questioning the blood-issue. See
my story
).
Zechariah,
"Righteous indignation toward the WTS is whats being expressed here. The WTS has hypocritically and self-righteously criticized and demonized the Catholics and other religions of socalled Christendom to the Nth degree." Thats right they have more to say about others wrongdoings than the wrongdoings of themselves. The Catholic church has done the same towards Jews (even supported pogroms), Muslims (Crusades), Indian-tribes (inqusition). Nothing new under the sun
"This distorted self image is the source of many abuses suffered by its members." I fully agree with you on this part. Because they believe they are Gods people it make them blind for great injustices among its own flock.
"The anger of the many they have harmed is well deserved. I for one am mad as hell and ain't gonna take it no more." You have the right to be angry; but I hope it doesn't rule your view on reality.
