jehovah's witnesses scripturally based position on child protection.
i am having trouble understanding paragraph 5. it says: .
As JohnCedars and CovertFade just said on Twitter, read that policy back and substitute murder for child abuse and you see how utterly disgusting it is.
As a victim of child abuse myself, when you are abused it’s as if your life is over. I can’t put it into words but you are ripped apart emotionally and mentally and you never ever get over it.
The WT disgust me. They are making the name Jehovah synonymous with child abuse.
i know of 1 that watched the video and never went back.. i think for some it was a the sum of the total or the "last straw" if you like.. karter..
I don’t know anyone here in the U.K. that has even heard of it.
my friend has just returned from mid week meeting and emailed me to say 'this was released at meeting tonight' and sent me a 3 page document entitled 'jehovah's witness scripturally based position on child protection'.
has anyone else had this.
i'm in the uk.

She didn't say, just said it was 'announced' so that doesn't sound like it was handed out, does it? Maybe they just referred them to the website and she sent me a copy

Thank you for sharing P.E I totally relate to this too.
It's only recently through a year of counseling that my psychologist made me see that I was locked into this mindset of going out of my way to please people and hence people saw me as weak and just walked all over me.
I have spent my entire life thinking I wasn't good enough so I had to make up for it by going out of my way to make people like me. I had no confidence in myself yet somehow I could chat to strangers, go on the platform without nerves and put myself out of my comfort zone in many ways. But I felt so bad about myself and I'm sure people sensed that and could push me around and they did.
I'm sure it's a result of years or indoctrination where we are told we are never good enough and also for me, a family telling me how rubbish I was all the time.
The good news is I'm breaking free of it and beginning to like and accept myself for the first time in over 60 years. So, we can change if we need to.
we’ve all heard them all our life.
my two biggest stupidest ones i think are, “ we can really tell the end is almost here with the way people drive on the highway.” and a girl who said she wants to hurry up and marry her boyfriend because she’s scared if the end comes before their married, she’ll have to wait 1000 years to marry him.
oh and also a poor old lady saying that she hopes jehovah wipes away the memory of her disfellowshipped sons that he will have to destroy.
Oh, just remembered...my super duper uber JW sister told me once she can't wait to meet David in the paradise. Apparently, he's very handsome and she has a bit of a crush on him ;)

One sister said Jehovah will make her forget she ever had her DF children.
Heard of sisters say they will stockpile mascara and lipstick because it won't be readily available in the paradise.

So many.....
we hear a story regarding the life of thomas and emma.
she states that "when thomas and i first learnt that i was pregnant, we were both really shocked" she doesn't explain why they were both really shocked but it seems an odd reaction unless they were using the safest contraception invented or hadn't been told about the bird and the bees.two experiences that touched the heart of gb sanderson were as follows -.
in russia a jw was jailed for 6 months, the jailers did everything to try to undermine his faith, which included violence.
I've just watched John Cedars rebuttal to the April Broadcast.
So, basically, no abortion at any cost. Even if a woman's life is at threat.
A failing marriage was because the woman didn't understand her husband needed to feel 'respected'
Another failing marriage left a woman with an unscriptural divorce for 15 years until she got back with said husband.
Some pretty old Russian experiences.

A Barry White type music video about romantic love which, despite the singer having a great voice, was just plain weird.
My parents would not recognize this religion.
made the mistake of opening the front door today...i was expecting someone to service our central heating...oh dear, it was a sister instead :(.
she tells me jehovah misses me.
it seems god only sees me if i go to the meetings.

So true.

No one misses me at that congregation. They pretty much made my life a misery. No one spoke to me. No one cared. I came home from most meetings in tears. Why care now?
It was just her reasoning 'Jehovah misses me' that I was nothing to God unless I attended the meetings. He couldn't even see me. It sounds so ridiculous.

She tells me Jehovah misses me. It seems God only sees me if I go to the meetings. I am here...on the earth...still praying and still believing in God...but because I don't turn up at a hall twice a week, God doesn't see me. It's only now that I am out I see how utterly absurd some of the things they say are.
I happened to ask her about the new data protection requirements. She said yes, they all had forms and would be filling them in. I told her they could no longer makes notes about householders in the ministry without consent, to which she said the 'brothers, would find a way around that.'
