  i was so impressed by what the brazilian xjw's are doing to inform the world about jw's unfair and harmful sanctions put upon those who leave the religion that i just had to share their efforts with you.

  congratulations are in order for a work well done.

  i asked sebastiao ramos ramos, a former jw to explain in english what abravipre is all about.

  The Story of My Sister - Lurkers: Is this logical?

  by Funchback in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my sister got baptized at 17 or 18 years old in 1983. she was ripe for the jw picking as she was shy, quiet, naive and with low self-esteem even though she was tall and beautiful and she attended one of the best high schools in philadelphia.. she wasn't outgoing and she only went out on a couple of dates prior to her baptism.

  she worked at a day care center.

  she loved children and animals.

  Funchback, the main point is: how is your sister now? Has she moved on and is she happily married and pursuing a meaningful post-JW life?

  Did anyone catch the irony in the December JW Broadcast?

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there was an interview with a 107 year old lady who had been a jw since the age of 10 or so.

  remembers seeing the "photodrama of creation" when it was still a thing, etc.. so she's explaining about herself & her husband witnessing thru the years, 1930's thru now.. she says at one point, her husband called on a guy who said something like "the last time i got a call from a jw, it was 50 years ago in xyz village by a guy on a bike who said armageddon was coming soon.".

  the lady was just so tickled, because the guy on the bike was her husband, who happened to run into the same guy (who remembered him) 50 years later.. and i'm thinking "wait a minute....her husband said 'armageddon was coming soon' 50 years earlier...obviously he was completely wrong.

  Lunch today with.. JW step father....

  by raven in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it has been a while since i've posted, i think its because i have finally gotten some peace and quiet as far as harassment from the jw elders.. my step father, the one who reported me to the elder police for a sinful act invited me to lunch today.. it has been almost a year since the incident, we have talked here and there, it has been just casual though.

  he says he is in town for work and asked if i would like to meet up for lunch, i couldn't think of any excuses so i agreed.. i hope it goes well, hope that we don't go into the jw nonsense.

  hope he doesn't bring elders with him, am i paranoid or what?

  Hi Raven, I'm sure he isn't going to have any other elders there at the lunch. For one thing, he's from out of town and unlikely to have talked another elder to make the trip with him just to have lunch with you.

  Actually, it's to his credit that he's taken the initiative to ask you to lunch, and not stick to the hard line of shunning.

  Special Talk During the Meeting Today About the Bad Press in Canada

  by RobertT18 in

  2. child-abuse

  i was invited to a congregation in ontario, canada today and as soon as the meeting opened the brother conducting the meeting said there was a very important statement coming from the borg.

  this talk replaced the two last parts of "living as a christian" section.

  he started reading a letter from the borg about how much they loved us.

  "- The media has decided to ignore all the material on JW.org regarding Child Abuse despite them telling to look into the articles, broadcasting and magazine articles about protecting the child(s) /members of the cong."

  So that's why they recently dredged up an earlier broadcast by Tony Morris and are running it again.

  "Also, the cartoon depicts sexual predators as "demon" like when the most insidious - and likely - source of sexual abuse is adults in positions of trust."

  That's why most perpetrators are elders or ministerial servants, and seldom members of the rank and file (except in the case of a close relative).

  Active JW's, can you defend "THE TRUTH?"

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as of yet, no member of the jehovah's witness faith can defend their unique beliefs.

  when the dust settles, it all comes down to blind faith in men's ever-changing ideas.

  this "unique belief" was not a "true teaching of the bible.

  i would imagine that most brooklyn bethelites attended congo meetings via subway.. how do they manage transport from warwick?.

  I believe they're going to have a real logistical problem, in that there are far too many Bethelites per capita to farm out to the limited number of local congregations within reasonable driving range.

  Why Did JWs Abandon Brooklyn for the Sticks?

  by Room 215 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i may have missed this, but can anyone tell me what was the pretext the gb concocted to justify their abandonment of a perfectly suitable, high-profile, high-visibility complex in what is arguably the world's greatest metropolis for the bucolic isolation of upstate new york.

  any how does the move square with their purported belief in the imminence of armageddon?

  Sure, money is the underlying reason for the move. I suppose my question really is: how did they sell it to the rank and file?
