  Watchtower Lies Hurt Victims

  by silentlambs in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  if you read the 97 watchtower cited below you are given the impression that a child molester who is known(that is confessed) would never have privileges in the congregation arrangement.

  is that really the case?

  in a conversation with the service department it was plainly stated to me personally that a child molester could re-qualify again after a long period of time had passed.

  Silentlambs,

  Thank you for exposing yet one more LIE to the LIST of them that the WBTS tell. My heart goes out to each and every victim!

  It's pretty damn sick when a cigarette smoker gets treated worse than a child molester. And a child molester gets treated better than his/her victim.

  I read your experience of attending a meeting recentely. The pedophiles get treated better than the loving, caring people like yourself, who try to protect God's young children too. Please stay strong and keep up the good you are doing! I've called to place two of the ads you provided us to in 2 of my local newspapers. when they appear, I'll scan them and mail them to you if you'd like. I also followed zev's idea and made a sign for the back of my car. I used #4 of your choices of ads to use on my sign.

  God bless you and your family. Thank you for all you do!

  peace,

  If I hade to vote on these nicknames, I'd have a hard time choosing between "the borg" and "watch the butt trick society".

  for those who "grew up in the borg"

  by zev in

  at this late, middle stage of my life, i've started wondering, now that i know what i know, about the things in my life that i "lived" with.

  having been raised all my life in the "borg" i have known nothing else.

  when questions began forming years ago, it started me thinking.

  hi, zev

  Having gone through my school years from the 4th grade to high school graduation, I went through being the outcast/freak for all those years too. very hard. When I worked part time during my high school years, I never told co-workers that I was a JW either. And like so many others here, I didnt tell any co-workers in my adulthood for years and years later. I'm also of the emotional retard class.

  peace,

  Feeling a bit Craggy today!

  Hi Yardirf,

  :To: Crag
  :Did I say that again? I meant "Chag".

  That's ok, I forgive ya. Like I' ve said before, I answer to anything lately. ( within reason)

  Anyway, you seem to forget that the expression "Jehovah's Witnesses" is a name that the WTS adopted for identification purposes.

  OK...I agree with you then. The WTS HAD to come up with something to call themselves because they needed to separate themselves from any group of people mentioned in the Bible, or in the world. If that were not true, then they would have just stuck to identifying themselves as Christians. ( as the early Christians in the Bible called themselves ) So for those who just choose not to have any association with the WTS, and just make the decision to be a Christain, then we can no longer call ourselves JWs. We only need to identify ourselves as Christians by following the Bible, and not some group of men that had to make up a name to identify themselves, and their followers. Ater thinking all day long at work about this, I found myself agreeing with what you said to neyank more and more. I could never call myself a Jehovah's Witness, and then turn around and say that I'm persecuted on account of Jesus' name anyway. That would be the same as saying this, "I am a Mike's Witness, and I'm persecuted on account of Stephen's name." It DOES make sense for CHRISTians to be persecuted on accout of Jesus' name though. Doesn't it? So in reality, the WTS patented God's name, and according to them, and JW's, nobody else can call themselves Jehovah's Witnesses. But anyone can say that they are God's Witnesses. Therefore having no association with an incorperated business in the corperate worls, called the WBTS.

  Before that I know of no one that was calling themselves JWs.

  agreed.

  :So, today, either a person is one of Jehovah's Witnesses (as in association with the WTS) or is an ex-JW ... one or the other.

  Jehovah's Witnesses are really WTS witnesses then. What you are saying is that one can't separate them. And that is why they baptize followers in association with themselves, in place of God's Holy Spirit, as Jesus said to in the Bible. It's all falling into place for me now.

  I would really like to explain this to someone who I speak to who is NOT a JW. Please don't ell me to ask any elders or to write to the society. For I've tried that and I've got alotta nothing really. no answers at all spoken in plain words that anyone would understand. So if I'm wrong in understanding what you said, please specify what I am wrong in saying and clear it up. You explained things in plain english, unless I'm misunderstanding AGAIN! <sigh>

  I have one more question if you care to answer. I've read that since 1951, the WTS gave the "ok" to be called a "religion". So...are Jehovah's Witnesses an organized religion?

  i'm not being a pervert, really.

  i was just wondering whether there was a psychological explanation for why people (women, i think) experience sex, when there's nobody physically there.. there's a lot made of this in dubdom, so i'm thnking there couldbe a connection with the dub 'culture'.. just curious.. philo (honestly, but still a male)

  LDH,

  Just a side point girls. While you're gazing longingly at those 19 year old boobs, rest assured, the men are saying "DAMN I wish I was cut like that! The women would SWOON!"

  I have had umteen millions of fantasies throughout all my years. But I have to say that while the pictures of fantasies are beautiful art, I've never had a fantasy involving a man, or men, that have horns on their heads, and "claws" for hands. That was the only turn-off for me, upon veiwing the art. If I had to look at men like that, I'd be looking at women only. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Maybe the demons don't have any hold on me at all! Heres a question to men out here who wish to come forward.

  Do any of you look at the artistic pictures that COMF provided and think what LDH says that men are thinking? Inquiring minds want to know.

  Don't we all wish our boobs looked like that! ( with no surgery, for big chickens like myself anyway ) Hey..a little candle light or dimmed lights work just as good, and it's cheaper and painless!

  You should come up with advertisement for a gym with that idea in mind! It'd definately bring more members in. I might visit a gym sometime, to work on this ( l ) too. I feel like I need it bad! The toning there that is, not to mention the other "benefits".

  hi LDH,

  Hmmm....I'm thinking this should probably be moved to the "Dating, Realtionships,Sex" forum, just in case it offends anyone on the main board. ( philo! do you know how to move this thread? )

  I hope your feeling well by now ( I know you said you were suffering from migraine headaches in the beginning of your "epectant" period., and I hope everything else is going well for ya too.

  I do know what you're talking about in regards to the "spontaneous orgasm". So...for your research/survey, it's happpens to me all the time while sleeping ( ain't that enough to wake you right up out of a sound sleep! ), and once when I was in a store, standing in a checkout line. Kinda hard to keep your composure in that situation, but ya do manage it. No, I wans't sleepstanding! It all had to do with the view that was directly in front of me. It's been said that women are not visually stimulated as men are. I disagree with that. Either I have some man in me in that way, or them invisible demons have a "good" hold of me! Either way, I call it spontaneous cumbustion when it happens.

  Yadirf,

  You're NOT a JW! If you were in fact at one time associated with the WTS, THEN you were a JW. Once you decided that you never wanted to have anything more to do with the WTS THEN you quit being a JW. Try to remember that before you became associated with the WTS you were not a JW ... get it? You returned to your vomit, in other words (that's as plain as I can make it for you).

  There are PLENTY of Jehovah's Witnesses who have nothing to do with the WTS. Jehovah God and the WTS are 2 separate things. One of them is God, and one of the is a muti-million dollar INCORPERATED BUSINESS. When people try to serve both, look at the pain it causes. Not only to other people, but to ourselves also.

  Like the Bible says, we can't serve 2 masters. It's one, or the other.

  peace,
  somebody
