  Effectiveness of exposing child abuse

  by Tallon in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  thought i would try and gauge your views on the effectiveness of current child abuse exposure within the jw's.. i am aware of the arc investigation into historical and current child abuse, the uk charity commission investigation, and the excellent work of trey bundy.. however, how effective has the above been in exposing child abuse?.

  would not an investigation in the manner of spotlight, be more effective in exposing it to a wider audience?

  to prove that the abuse is 'systemic'?.

  Hello Snowbird

  5-1-17 ... is a 'bank holiday' here in the UK.

  So I'm enjoying the day off work (I took tomorrow off as paid leave too).

  What joy it is to not wasting away the day by door knocking.

  What was it like being a JW in the 1960's and 1970's

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  2. experiences

  this is obviously a question for the older generation.

  i'm really curious what it was like to be a witness in the 60's and 70's?.

  was the society as strict as it is today?.

  My parents started studying with the witnesses around 1972. I was 9 years old - too young to really understand what was going on. My siblings and I studied the book 'From Paradise Lost To Paradise Regained'. Can't say that I remember much about it however, some of the pictures in that book were disturbing.

  My life as a JW began in 1980 / 1981.

  Mental Illness

  by Tallon in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  over many years i have been pondering how mental illness has impacted upon jw's due to the effects of indoctrination.

  in my case; when i was 21 i had a breakdown and was hospitalised for 6 weeks.

  i was diagnosed with anxiety tension state disorder.

  Thank you to all for your posts. Really appreciate it.

  My breakdown occurred 30 years ago. It took me about 1 year to get back on an even keel. I have long since recovered and no longer take medication.

  I do think the FOG which I was hammered with (which we were all subjected to) played a huge part in causing the anxiety and tension / stress I felt.

  Anyway, here's wishing good health to you all.
