what happened to jehovah’s witness young men and why did it happen?______in the 1960s men of draft age were called upon to either serve in the military (during the vietnam war) or to comply with the alternate service option: serving in a hospital or community in need.. non-jehovah’s witnesses were faced with only one refusal: military service.jw boys and young men were instructed (in private) to refuse the alternate civilian service as well.
the superior authorities had made this exemption for people of conscience.the law was clear on this.
if we worked in a hospital community we would be free to go about our witnessing ministry - if we double-refused: we would languish in prison.a no-brainer to them.

Every one of us inside
were taken into the Kingdom Hall library respectively, and told what to say and do but strongly admonished
to NOT say we had been advised.
What percentage of brothers in USA were told that? I was never told that.
Nixon stopped the draft a month before I was scheduled to appear.
selena vertolomo, former jehovah's witnesses who was sexually abused in watchtower, went to visit tony morris in north carolina.
selena and her sister call in and explain their position.
callers dial in from around the world and ask plenty of questions.
all in the name of Rutherford's messed up, evil blood doctrine!!
History of doctrine[edit]
From 1931,[62] when the name "Jehovah's witnesses" was adopted, Watch Tower Society publications maintained the view of Society founder Charles Taze Russell that the reference to abstaining from the eating of blood in the Apostolic Decree of Acts 15:19–29 was a "suggestion" to be given to Gentile converts.[63][64] Watch Tower publications during the presidency of Joseph Franklin Rutherford commended the commercial and emergency uses of blood.[65][66] ...
In 1944, with the Watch Tower Society under the administration of president Nathan Homer Knorr, The Watchtower asserted that the decrees contained in Genesis 9:4 and Leviticus 17:10–14 forbade the eating or drinking of blood in biblical times "whether by transfusion or by the mouth" and that this applied "in a spiritual way to the consecrated persons of good-will today, otherwise known as 'Jonadabs' of the Lord's 'other sheep'."[70]

Originally Allowed. Blood transfusions and donating blood for transfusion is commended (Golden Age 1925 July 29 p.683, Golden Age 1929 May 1 p.502, Consolation 1940 December 25 p.19)
1945 - Forbidden. Blood transfusions first stated as wrong (Watchtower 1945 July 1 p.198-201)

1975: Did it happen the way we all remember it – or not??
Have you heard the term “gaslighting?”
Ray Franz didn't gaslight.
45 years ago, at the Annual Meeting where all GB members spoke, he apologized for 1975. The only one. They went like 1 1/2 hour overtime. I was there.
Not a word of his apology in the literature.

In a conversation with Randy Watters, he admitted to me that the literature was destroyed.

Perhaps they've destroyed enough now.

i hear of a plenty of personal testimonies of abuse but it is harder to prove organizational complicity.

Not sure which will be best, her book or the movie.
Their business model said they needed the abuser no matter what!
A bit ironic for all the abuse she suffered in Brooklyn, that she has a picture of the Brooklyn Bridge in her
living room.

a spanish court ordered the newspaper to publish the reply of the jehovah’s witnesses to a defamatory 2022 article.
the court found the newspaper has been fed false information by an association of disgruntled former witnesses and has uncritically published it.. .
Until recently the Unification Church in Japan wasn't a cult either.

bribing the children to serve--by request!
request from researcher: is it true that children in the early years of the watchtower society, were bribed into the field ministry work to make a profit to have money to spend?
if this is true, would you know where i could find that information?
So Brother Sharp's mum bribed him. 🤔
https://www.jw.org/en/library/series/life-stories-jehovahs-witnesses/dayrell-sharp/
(If Dayrell's mum also bribed him to sell literature, I'm sure it was omitted)
I was never bribed, no need to. With the mid week study of the 'Babylon The Great' book (the first time) and with the revelation type hailstones coming at any moment, the hard proclamation of Jehovah's day of vengeance at hand; that is hearing guilt trip speeches week after week on sell, preach, and sell some more, fresh in my mind. That's all that was needed for me to sell the literature before any manifestations of the wrath of God showed up and not bellyache about it.
But, I always had to turn in the money to Mum. I did get rewarded a couple times though if I sold a good number of magazines on a Saturday. Afterwards we'd go to the Farmer's market and I'd get to buy a car model.
