  Sexual abuse victims in Australia - read here

  by l p in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i would like to encourage you to come forward regardless of how long ago you were abused.. i believe the commission is looking at removing the statute of limitations (ie the timeline) to get to the bottom of this issue in organisations - although dont quote me on that...i am sure i read it though..... .

  please come forward and let the royal commission into sexual abuse in institutions in australia know..... .

  if you know of other victims, talk to them, support them to come forward...... .

  the more silent you are - the more powerful these perpetrators get..

  the more they are uncovered, they can be dealt with by the authorities...and this can then hopefully keep other children safe

  yes - YOU can do something to help other children.

  if i was a victim i certainly would come forward.

  I also would support in every way that i possibly can those victims to come forward and see the distance.

  take care

  Jehovah's Witnesses and Divorce

  by Eustace in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i really hate divorce.

  it was my parents getting divorced that helped messed up my childhood.. part of why i came to conclude the jehovah's witnesses don't have the "spiritual paradise" they claim to is how many of their marriages end up in divorce.my parents i could dismiss as an exception to a general rule, but i could never understand how often it seemed to keep happening to lots of different people when the watchtower society teaches that divorce is wrong except in case of adultery.. but what really brought things home for me was this study by the pewforum on religion survey showing that even though jehovah's witness are less likely to be married than the general population, they're more likely to be divorced or separated.. http://religions.pewforum.org/.

  they really have a nerve telling people in the jehovah's witnesses religion that they shouldn't have sex outside of marriage when they've done so little to protect jws who get married, and their children, from the extreme stress and conflict of divorce.. it's really messed up.. heck, even the catholics they're are always dumping on have a lower divorce/separation rate than the jws.. jw divorced/separated = 14%.

  Pioneering - the best job in the world!

  by MMXIV in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how often did i hear those words at circuit or district assemblies - that pioneering was the best job in the world?

  how often did i hear a fake job advert for pioneering where there was 100% job satisfaction working for the most powerful person in the universe and you'd get to travel the world and live forever.... i've done both jobs and would say that the job advert should more honestly read like this:.

  secular job.

  Hi,

  like the others have said: Can the meeting - Do not go!

  Otherwise - they will get you on apostacy

  this will then lead to you being DF

  then your wife might leave you

  then you might not see any of your kids much anymore and your relationship with them will be damaged bec of the CULT

  PLLLEEEAAAAAASSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEE I beg you - Call them and cancel the meeting...just say we are fine at the moment Will call when we need your support. Thanks anyway...

  and then put extra effort into your relationship with your wife and family...

  keep us posted..

  all the best

  Planning exit, alternative venues to preach?

  by Goodstein in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  background:.

  i've come to the conclusion that many doctrines of the wts are unscriptural after many years of privately disagreeing with some of them but feeling that the society was "mostly right" and still being used by jehovah.

  this turning point has happened in the last year or so.

  Sometimes sorry isn't enough...

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i thought you might like to see a rare example of the society saying the actual word "sorry" in the literature.. in 1992 someone wrote in to the awake!

  and their comment was published in the july 8th edition in the "from our readers" section, page 30.. their comment read as follows.... "your suggestion that sex education be considered a 'family secret' could accidentally result in great difficulty for some of your readers.

  social workers, teachers, nurses, and other professionals are now trained to watch for signs of child abuse.

  I guess Unky PunkofNice is right. The writers are child abusers.

  "Strong hope enables us to resist apostates and their gangrenous 'empty speeches.'"

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  those obviously aren't my words, they are from the latest study edition of the watchtower (april 15th, 2013) page 11.. .

  it's nice to know that, not only are we "mentally diseased" - we are also now "gangrenous.

  " since the society seems to enjoy using medical terms to insult us, are there any bets what the next published insult will be?
