yes friends it is too late for most of you to return to jehovah's org.
based on the new garlic bread parable in this month's broadcast with the illustration using loaves of bread.
it is obvious that the doors of the arc has been closed shut by jehovah's hand for some of us.. according to the new parable that can be found on jw tv.
@Fisherman:
The Bible records how Jehovah curses and plagues and becomes at war with and even exterminates any entity that threatens or causes any harm whatsoever to his friends.
Question: Does this apply to the JWs who practice shunning others for leaving the Society? Will YHWH exterminate these people for the threats and harm done to His adopted children?
I am not mad.
I have forgiven my family.
But I will not sympathize with anyone that shuns another.
People are not a consumable product to be thrown away!!!!
i see alot of youtube channels that have footage of the hearing, however i can not find the original footage?
can anyone point me in the direction of where the original footage is?
i am working on a project and do not want to strip footage from someones channel or steal someones work in terms of editing it or downloading it and uploading it with changes.
PDF Transcripts are here.
I did a search on YouTube: Royal Commission on Child Abuse day 1
Start with day one and all the parts...move to day 2 and all the parts, I forgot how many days there are of hearings. Eventually you will have watched them all. I hope.

Do I hear crickets?
Awesome video!!!
my son is nearing completion of his 3-1/2 year chemo journey.
i have an appointment with his primary oncologist at the end of next month as an end of treatment exit meeting.
she and her team are leads at this particular hospital.
@ azor
I hope your family is doing well and my prayers to your son for a healthy life.
I was also going to ask if there are any charities for doctors and nurses who work with children. From my observations it appears they suffer from me illnesses and die younger. I was thinking of starting a charity along these lines.
I would suggest St. Jude Research Hospital. They do so much for children all over the world.
time to take a break from debating religion.
take in a breath of fresh air and be healed by the wonders of nature around you.. how many of you have a garden?
how many have a nice flower patch to go with your vegetable garden?
Thank you Bonsai. We all need a bit of nature to watch and enjoy. It also is a good way to share gardening ideas with spring just around the corner...sighs 3 months and counting down.
Here is another tip:
If you have "ant" problems, plant some peonies away from your house. Ants and peonies have a symbiotic relationship.

blondie suggested someone start a thread with a list of books that are valuable to read when exiting the jws.. i will start.. i left the jws way back in the early 70s and didn't actually deprogram until into the 80s.. one of the first books i read was "the orwellian world of jehovah's witnesses" by gary and heather botting.
canadian exjws from calagary.
an excellent book and one that still resonates with young people today.
"The Kingdom of the Cults" by Walter Martin from 1983.
It's mostly likely outdated and maybe revised since my copy, but that helped see the lies and open my eyes.
for a while there i was confused as to what clam stood for .. ideas that crossed my mind .
christ left a ministry , or meeting .
children`s lives are mine .....( pedo`s in the borg ).
Maybe they had this in mind with all the dancing at the meetings?
this forum offers the stories of folks with as many variations as there are folks and a “great crowd” of lurkers whose stories may never be offered.
i am an outsider with a broken heart for some insiders that i love more than they know.
after reading nearly every “apostate” book ever written, lurking, being worn out searching the wt cd, i have come to an idea that i present for your appraisal..
findTheLost thanks. (worth more than $0.02) I am wondering if "find the lost" is your identity?
Long time ago before all the information on the internet about this organization, I DA'd myself and have been shunned for close to 30 years.
Right now I am trying to find my lost family members. I recently did find a niece posting here 9-12 years ago and that lifted my hope that others might have gotten out. Maybe I will find others as I lurk here.
As to my moniker...that is the reason...I am trying to FindTheLost.
