Wow. I hope this is the start of an avalanche of cases coming in. Although they will spin this as satans lies, the fact is they did have and still do have a modified 2 witness rule, which anyone can see is unacceptable. I hope EVERYONE abused comes forward now! This needs to be on the news everywhere. This will disturb many JWs.

The cases are starting to pile up. Now we see the reason the GB is disconnecting itself from local congregations, leaving things in the hands of the CO, and getting rid of the DO.

I also kept thinking about how they repress everything natural and normal. They say you must be different. No wonder there is so much fustration and depression amongst this lot. You can only be repressed for so long before you snap in some way.

Good thread BB. I noticed similiar things. The top line of pictures depict a normal, balanced well adjusted young mans life, the bottom a cultish, isolationist, boring wierd one. They take harmless, healthy things and make them dirty and wrong.
The article employed sweeping generalizations, as well as black and white thinking. Either you listen to "Satans" voice, which is your own heart or anyone else, or you can listen to "Je-hoovers" voice which only comes from the FDS, their interpretation of the Bible, elders, or other "spiritually strong" "true christians" Anything else is a prideful, "no one can tell me what to do" attitude.
They also made sure they had to get in a Korah and Abiram rebelling against Moses and Aaron reference, a favorite tool of cults. They miss the irony that Aaron made the golden calf and those that followed his lead were executed.

I agree magnum. They are not interested in intelligent critical thinkers. Only the most gullible naive are who they are after.

And he kept repeating- "does that make sense"? No intelligent person would have answered in the affirmative. It seemed like he was a swindler trying to fast talk someone into a pyramid scheme PUN INTENDED!

Any explanation from the WT as to why Adam and Eve did not have sex before they sinned? (and other Genesis stumpers)
by BU2B in(disclaimer- i know this is all fairy tales but i like to pick genesis apart since many millions still take it literally and is the foundtion of jw doctrine.
without genesis being real, the whole thing collpses).
i was just reading through genesis yesterday, and it really hit me.

I find the tribal people of the world debunk the whole "shame is inherent" thing. Shame about ones body is LEARNED. The only reason a child may be bashful about their nakedness is because he sees everyone else covering up, so naturally he would feel out of place. Certain body parts in our society are viewed to be "shameful". In tropical/subtropical climates around the entire world whether it be South America, Africa, Asia, North America, Australia, everywhere it was possible to be naked, people were or nearly so. NO culture in these areas had a taboo on womens breasts, some wore loincloths, many did not. They had to be taught by the christiain and muslim missionaries and explorers that they were sinning by being naked. Even many of the tribes in warm climates today that wear clothes do so because they were taught that it was wrong not to. They have 0 shame. This to me proves the whole, "nudity is sinful" because of the "original sin" is bogus. It is cultural/religous standards and nothing more.
