the jws just called.
they are new to the congregation since i left in 2002/3.. they were offering a dvd for deaf people to 'learn what god requires of me".
i said there were no deaf people here.. the other guy that was just standing there asked if there were deaf people in this area.
J.Hofer - Yes I was the same. I prepared a really good presentation from the reasoning book so that I could engage the householder in a discussion and still get the 'im not interested' response from them. it had the JW partner that i worked with whoever that be say 'oh thats a really good presentation'. So i looked like i was trying but really i didn't want to be responsible for bringing someone else into this mess and destroy their family

no Im not new to this household. Ive been here all my life. So I know all the oldies in the local cong. They are new. I watch across the road though, there are JW's living there, they moved in about 5 years ago. The jws didn't go into their house. so they obviously know them and are from the local congregation

They looked so uncomfortable like they didn't want to be there.
What kind of a presentation is that. Presenting to deaf people. You wouldn't come across them much and by this presentation you exclude all the other potential recruits. It shows they just want the majority of house holders to say 'no' or 'not interested'

i remember i use to have a lot of hate in my heart when i was a jw.
i remember i used to hate gay people a lot!
when news reports came in about gays getting jumped in parks at night or killed.i would always smile inside.
I wouldn't say I hated gays when I was in. I worked with them and loved them. But I loved most people. The fact was I never believed that all the worldly people deserved to die bec they weren't jws. I refused to believe they were bad/evil or whatever else.
Now I'm glad im out and 'free' to enjoy people and appreciate them

I think the people that they are outing as gay or sexual predators or involved in scams should sue for defamation.

"there have been too many revelations of adults who have averted their eyes from this evil," she said.. the evil of which she speaks is said by the mother of one victim to be endemic.. pat feenan's son, daniel, is now 36 years old.. this is a royal commission which will be looking across religious organizations as well as state-based care and the not-for-profit sector.
it is not targeted at any one section or religion.. pm julia gillard.
Smiddy,
Yes the dubs do hide behind the catholic cone of silence bit...but the difference that someone was telling me the other day is that the catholic priests dont repeat what they hear to any other person, whereas the JW's tell the branch the details of what they hear. So really they can't use that argument in refusing to report crimes.

hiya,.
i'm new to this forum but just wanted to talk to somebody about this.. i was brought up as a jw and left just over a year ago.
i'm now 26 and feel messed up sexually.
I agree. Growing up as a JW does mess you up sexually. I am 35 and am a single mother. I left in 2002/3. After that time I met my ex partner that turned out to be extremely violent and a child came into the situation. He was extremely abusive. Even sexually. I did not enjoy sex with him as it was not satisfying - he was an alcoholic that had impotence. He also made me hate myself physically which is something I still suffer with now 4 years later.
Im sad that I never got to experience sex with another young person in the situation as your first love. Ive not done anything I would like to sexually, which is not a great deal but even making love the whole night - I've never experienced that, nor a weekend away.
The situation for me is that if and then when I get over my feelings about myself that he made me feel, how on earth will I ever be able to get back the experiences that I've missed especially now that I have a child. Not likely.

so i had my two daughters with me this weekend (their jw mom has them the next one) and it was saturday morning around 10am and i said let's have a short "daddy school" on how to do research on the internet.
so they were plopped on each side of me and my laptop and i was inbetween and was showing them how you can type in "jehovah's witnesses" or "watchtower society" and get lots of vids off youtube on these things and that they can always do their own research if they have any questions on the things they hear at the kh when their mother takes them.. so we were watching one and right then there was a knock at the door and it was two teenage jw girls (from a neighboring cong) offering the magazines... very funny!
my oldest got rid of them and they were giggling and laughing about how weird it was that they would show up right then.. the jws are popping up everywhere in my life lately, ie, at the store, at the mall, at the gym, etc.
Well, having just been through the family law system in Australia, the court ordered that my ex was not to get my son to call the other woman 'mum, mother, mummy' or any other term like that. and also ordered that he not speak disparagingly of me to my son.
So the court has powers to support the victimised parent when evidence is given to the court.

Aussie Oz, what should he be careful of?
I can't speak for overseas countries, but in Australia the Family Law system creates equality between both parents calling it 'shared parental responsibility'. In that both parties need to negotiate and agree upon medical, education and religious aspects of the child/rens upbringing. So if both parties dont agree well something will have to be decided in a court of law. My advice would be to go and seek some legal advice. Because here in Australia the Judges DO NOT LIKE it when a parent HATES the other parent and tries to TURN the children against the other parent. There was a case in Western Sydney in the last week where a mother lost custody of her daughter ( the child was sent to live with the father) due to the judge deciding that the mother had 'hatred' for the father and would not foster a close relationship between the father and child. So having said that an ex JW would only have to show the judge the WT literature talking about shunning anyone that leaves or is D'ed and that they deserve to die etc...and how honestly could a judge then make a decision to leave the child with the adversarial parent?
Just sayin
