  Australian Bethel propose building a media complex

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there's a post on exjw reddit stating that the ibsa are planning on building a media operation at the sydney bethel.. the estimated cost is $10 million aud and this in spite of the fact that they still have not joined the redress scheme or attempted in any monetary way of assisting abused victims within the organization.. the link below includes detailed plans.

  they will be converting part of the current printery into a media complex.. they also propose to build a theme park in the form of a historical biblical site, including a man made mound and what one person suggests is a temple.. its not surprising that a bunch of old men in new york has dreamed all of this up - film sets in new york, england and now australia.

  they are bonkers but it's a novel way of getting money from their followers.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/ernz3y/new_media_centre_at_the_australian_sydney_bethel/.compact.

  If you would like to recall all intimate and inappropriate conversations buy one of these machines go ahead. I see there benefits but the drawbacks for my lifestyle outweigh benefits. These machines have incriminated plenty and I have very strong civil liberties and loath government interference in my life. Government and religions are like cousins who see a never ending interference in ones life.

  Were You Willing To Die For Jehovah?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we were supposed to be dedicated unconditionally to jehovah god.

  we were willing to be persecuted to the death if need be.

  if it came to taking a blood transfusion or dying, we were loyal to jehovah and would be a martyr for god.

  I was in the cult when bitten by a venomous snake , lucky for me the head office had changed their views on blood fractions which antivenin fell in to. But if head office was still taking a hard line and because I did really believe these rules , I would of surely sacrificed my soul to martyrdom of watchtower. They are murdering fucks who would of left the animal in the well on the sabbath.

  First warm welcome, secondly if you want contentment and calm put that other foot on the side that’s OUT. Keep reading the experiences here on this site, then ask yourself if there is any god who cares he surely isn’t backing these frauds.

  Would You Ever Go Back To The Witnesses??

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  every once in a while you hear people say they actually “miss” their old witness friends and or family.

  some would have even stayed in the organization if they became a bit more liberal and open minded.

  I embarrassed I got sucked in to begin with, so to be fooled twice wouldn’t bode well for my intelligence. Nothing in this whole world would entice me back . To mentally torture myself with this guilt riddled religion is never going to be an option. No more cult membership from this little chook.

  are the witnesses now considered "clergy " ?

  by lancelink in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  years ago when i was a jw, one of their cornerstone teachings was that they were nothing like babylon the great.

  i remember being taught that the witnesses not using any type of clergy class distinction was proof that they had the right religion.. well, recently we had this article in the local paper, and an elder who was no doubt the presiding overseer tried to use the clergy class excuse to get out of answering questions regarding a child abuse case.

  here is the statement that really got to me.
