  The Writers Curse

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social
  2. physical

  i've begun to suspect this act - this will - this compulsory muse which i call "writing" is, in fact, the illusion of catharsis.

  like a mirage shimmering far off on the horizon i gaze upon the unreachable waters of a quiescent mind.

  and far too often i've trekked through these shifting sands of unrefined ideas and abrasive conclusions towards that placid falsehood.

  is there a way to have a jw who will not leave someone alone spammed with anti-cult information and anti-jw information?

  Pell said in a statement reported on CNN: "The whole idea of sexual abuse is abhorrent to me"

  Jehovah’s Witnesses said in a statement reported in the Guardian: “Jehovah’s Witnesses abhor child abuse"

  They both like the word "abhor." Coincidence?

  Child Abuse Charges Laid Against a High level Catholic Cardinal

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  its taken a while for this to happen, but the victorian (australia) police have decided there is sufficient evidence to charge cardinal george pell with multiple sexual abuse charges.. .

  pell was once the highest ranking catholic in australia, but once the accusations of child abuse started to surface, he was shipped off to rome where, since 2014 pell has been prefect of the secretariat for the economy, (the vatican’s treasurer).. he is generally seen as no 3 in the world catholic heirarchy.. full story: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2017/jun/29/cardinal-george-pell-charged-with-multiple-sexual-offences?cmp=soc_567.

  so in my last post i talked about how i had told my younger siblings how i didn't plan to get baptized or ever be a witness.

  i thought i could trust them but i guess i was wrong, they're just kids after all.

  my oldest brother (who's 11) told on me today.

  Blackwolf: Do you guys think that's a good idea?

  I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. But it is you that has to deal with this.

  Seeking advice from strangers on the internet is a tricky thing at best and potentially dangerous thing at worst. Most of us here are ex- or current-JWs that no longer believe this religion is "the truth." And, while generally we are as a group caring, compassionate people, few of us here are specifically trained to counsel others. We speak from our hearts and our experience.

  Also, most of us here are quite a bit older than you are.

  Finally, none of us really know and understand your situation. We only know what you've told us and that is not a lot.

  In your previous post you wrote: "I told my younger siblings (who are trustworthy don't worry) about how I don't want to be a jw and my plans to leave."

  You have now learned a painful but important lesson: you can't trust anyone that is in the JW religion. No one. The only person you can trust is yourself, and you've been indoctrinated all of your life not to do that. This is something you have to learn how to do.
  

  Proceed slowly and with caution. Ask for feedback here. Weigh the pros and cons of what others write in response. But remember: all decisions are yours.

  Keep us posted!

  So basically, Watchtower of January 2016 Study Edition, page 27: these pictures are photographic evidence that everyone in them are disrespectful, arrogant sinners lacking in theocratic humility.

  We would show a lack of respect if we treated such ones as celebrities.

  And what does it show if "such ones" ACT like celebrities?

  konceptual99: Most people would roll their sleeves up when doing even a trivial amount of washing up. Especially if they were wearing a nice timepiece and cufflinks.

  Exactly. I'm calling bullshit on that picture of Anthony Morris "washing dishes." Totally staged!

  Fake news ... LOL!
