Umbertoecho here.
by umbertoecho inhello people.. i'm tired and a bit sick at the moment but i can't let anyone think that this is going to go away.... i am able to tell you a few things in order to prevent any confusion in the minds of those who are thinking that nothing will come of this arc;that nothing will effect the wtbts in america and other places.. i have been there and given my testimony.
helen milroy and her assistants were there along with another group of people who are there to lend assistance if you crack up at any time during or after the hearing.
i did not crack up but can see how this happens.. security is tight and anonymity is sacred to them as they want to protect all who come forward.

What Was The Silliest "Offense" That You Were Counseled For?
by minimus inwhen i was a teenager, i was told by an elder that because i smiled a lot and was known for my good sense of humor, that i should come across as "more serious".
so before i was appointed a ms, while in my late teens, i transformed myself into a much more "serious" brother.. were you ever told that you needed to work on something that you knew was stoopid?.

When I was 18 I left home to pioneer. ..got my own flat etc.. even had the group held at my flat.....except we had a stand in oversear visit and he called me to one side at hall...I thought he wanted to discuss my upcoming pioneer school attendance. ...instead he counselled me from the scriptures. ..the one that says
"The stupid one is isolating himself"
Because he had heared I left home and was living in a flat. ... i was in the same book study group as my parents so it was pure crap and I told him so lol

In the early 90s I had a part time job in a reputable video store....we didn't even have a video player at home at the time. ..but I got counselled abd warned I could be bringing demonism into the cong!
Why? Because of some of the films contents that people might be renting ....duh I argued back saying that as the store had a strict policy of only playing suitable family movies in store and I had no video it wasn't like I was watching it lol .....
This elder had me crying alone in his car with a pile of watchtower articles for over an hour when we were supposed to be on ministry. .when my husband told him off he said I was overeating and it was only a friendly chat.....a blatant lie as he made me pray with him before he started the CHAT

Could the Independent Inquiry in England and Wales expose jw.org's child abuse failures? And how can we help?
by defender of truth inwith all the talk about the org's policies and failures regarding child sexual abuse being publically exposed in australia, i thought that it may be a good time to highlight this... i apologise if this has already been discussed, but on the 9th of july the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse in england and wales was opened.
here is some information regarding it's aims.. "about the inquiry.
the inquiry offers an unprecedented opportunity to examine the extent to which institutions and organisations in england and wales have taken seriously their responsibility to protect children.. the inquiry will investigate a wide range of institutions including:.

I emailed the enquiry asking them to look into jws...don't know if it will help but explained how as a mother my child's safety was put at risk through JW policy on protecting the accused. ..thankfully she shared her concerns with me (she was 9) I removed her from having contact with him....and only learnt after that others had accused him!
As the branch is in the UK now and not here I figured it be appropriate to contact them :)

The height of evil is the following and yet at the time I was IN and didn't see it...
A family member who was df lost a child
As the parents were in good standing as in father was an elder a lot of jws went to child's funeral.
not one witness approached the mother to offer condolences etc...in fact they pointedly shunned and stared at the distraught mother...now who goes to funerals unless it's to comfort the bereaved? ?? Only sicko people
Is this just a one off...no when my step father died (an elder ) and the family were at the kh the family member who was also at the funeral was openly pointed out to anyone who wasn't aware they were df and advised to shun! At the funeral...she was so upset she left
Now I'm df I wonder if I will even be allowed at mums funeral as she has not spoke to me since I was df..and if I do go I will get the same treatment so what's the point....I'd only be distressing the rest of the family who are not in truth but not df

Wow! I can't even imagine it ...pinch me am I dreaming. ...?
Of course the congregations they get attached to will be told how blessed they are to be graced with ex bethelites and be forced to support them this shifting the guilt and blame away from the hatchet men at the top who kicked them out on their ear if these poor folks starve lol
