Vienne and Beth Sarim some said the same many years ago (in 2001) when five activists from this very same forum uncovered the UN Scandal.
I was told by some not to take the story to the mainstream media. I didn't listen to those naysayers and proceeded to write up a piece for The Guardian newspaper in London which I sent to Stephen Bates via email. He published the piece I wrote with a few tweaks to the wording of his own before it went to press.
Shortly afterwards the story was picked up by literally hundreds of other newspapers around the world and the article I originally wrote went viral, taking out over 10,000 Jehovah's Witnesses in the first year after publication and cost the Watchtower Society over $1 billion.
If I had listened to those naysayers / JW apologists telling me not to proceed, many thousands of JW's might still be in the cult and the story would have remained buried without my direct involvement over 20 years ago.
I don't treat such matters lightly. I'm still to this day heavily involved with investigative reporting on international geopolitical issues having gained the attention of several Prime Minister's since for my hard hitting reports. I'm not some wet behind the ears newbie fresh out of the JW's.

How Many Masks Will You Wear?
by minimus inthere are recommendations that we should start doubling up on masks.
some have even suggested that tripling masks would even be better!
what’s your opinion of wearing numerous masks?

Celtic looks at Minimus brow furrowed with a face that looks like he just chewed a wasp over the top of his spectacles (whilst still writing in the third person) LOL. -

Out of morbid curiosity...
What is the Jehovah's Witnesses current view about the vaccine rollout?
Is the Watchtower Society advocating the position to take the covid vaccine? Is it a personal 'conscience' matter? How many JWs are refusing the vaccine does anyone know? Conversely, are there a lot of JWs who are taking the vaccine?
My elderly parents (both devout Witnesses) have both taken it.
Me? No bloody way. Stuff that.
Anyway, what is the current JW stance on covid vaccines, does anyone know?
Sorry I've been out of the loop now for so many years I have no knowledge about their current stance. Hell I don't even identify anymore as being an exjw it's been so many years since I left (df'ed in 1995) and all JW issues rarely if ever go through my mind anymore. It's almost like a completely foreign subject to me now. Didn't think I'd ever say that many years ago when I was at my most suicidal and doing shit loads of drugs and drinking myself into oblivion.
Does anyone want to buy a boat btw lol? -

Boat workshop is up near Stithians about 25 miles from Newquay. No need for me to get to know any other ex witnesses - they all do my head in. TBH as I said the JW issues very rarely go through my mind these days and I don't see myself as being any different to anyone else now. Completely forgot that I even wrote the post above Stan that's how infrequently anything to do with JWs goes through my mind these days. The JWs and exjw's come to that all feel, well, a bit of a foreign concept to me these days I've now been out of it all for so long.
The only exjw I keep in regular contact with was my best mate that I grew up with in the witnesses, he's been out for many years as well now and about 3 years ago we caught up again and rekindled our childhood friendship and now we're still best mates and write each other each week constantly taking the piss out of each other.
As for ever receiving any compensation out of the Watchtower for the years of abuse I went through in my entire childhood I've long given up that as a lost cause. People just aren't interested in addressing the abuse many of the 'brothers' went through as children themselves in the organisation - it's only the 'sisters' who get the attention on the child abuse front. Us men, our issues are / have been conveniently swept under the carpet. Sad but true. -

Hello Simon (and Angharad - hopefully I got the spelling correct from memory). Thank you for the welcome. Yep interesting few years since we last wrote - must be 20 years now since I left this place.
Life has got better and better in many regards but still a struggle with everything going on in the world but still doing my best (and doing a lot better financially than many). Still not well off by any means but at least I'm still alive and kicking (and as cantankerous as ever and even more eccentric than I ever was lol).
Yep Elpi is my best friend. She's just lovely. Great companion for me. Love her to absolute bits. Pretty much inseparable now. Here she in just hanging around on Corfu (in the dog carrier I made for her) when she was a little pup. Gorgeous lil thing. -

Me? Yeah all good. Still out of course. If truth be told JW issues hardly ever go through my mind these days if ever. Well, I have been df'ed for over 25 years now and counting so I should hope by now I'm over 99% of the issues. Bloody nora, looking back I was in a ruddy bad state back then, fuck only knows how you all put up with me. A lot of you helped back in the day more than you will ever know so take this as a big thank you for putting up with me all those years ago and giving me the encouragement I needed to keep going. How I never committed suicide I don't know.
Anyway that's all behind me now.
Spent several years volunteering on the refugee situation in Europe. Was heavily involved with the refugee boat rescues on Lesvos (lost over 3,500 including many women and children to drowning - very stressful). Last few years back working for myself selling boats and outboard engines here in Cornwall. Pandemic bollocks hit my profits hard this season but all things being equal still not a bad trading season, at least I've still made a good profit and I'm still working flat out and I absolutely LOVE it.
Still no woman in my life lol. Any takers LOL? Gormless twat (6FT 6 and 53), no teeth, bald as a coot, crazy sense of humour, smoker, very light drinker, addicted to 'work', must love boats...please send photo of boat and outboard if you have one. :)
Elpi (half the Greek work for 'hope') photo attached was found next to the refugee camp run by the German anarchists at No Border Kitchen Lesvos (where I also volunteered) 7 miles from the Moria detention facility on the outskirts of Mytilene. Found her when she was just 3 weeks old and could fit into the palm of my hand and we've been inseparable ever since - now 4 1/2 years old. Scooped her up (stray pup) popped her into my van which doubled as my sleeping 'pod' to keep my costs down and hand fed her to the healthy happy daft dog she is now. The rest is history. She came down with me again in the van to Athens from west Cornwall (United Kingdom) in 2017. -

A long time favourite artist of mine - I listen to this sometimes in the woods in my van with a camp fire going. On a full moon up on Exmoor or Dartmoor it doesn't get much better, sipping on a few glasses of red wine with Elpi my dog for company and smoking a spliff completely relaxed in utter peace and quiet.
