Rough Draft Chapter from our Next Book

by vienne in

a few of you follow our research into watch tower history.

i've posted a rough draft of a chapter from upcoming volume 2 of separate identity.

on-point comments are welcome.

smiddy3

Its good what you are doing vienne publishing Watchtower History /Jehovah`s Witnesses using their very own published material .

Since the Jehovah`s Witnesses often publish a sanitized version of their own history leaving out the embarrassing bits that they don`t want people to know about.

interview on melbourne (australia) abc radio - regarding watchtower's refusal to "say sorry" (global campaign).

Thank you Steven { jwleaks } for that update , I know you have fought tirelessly over a number of years on behalf of the children of Jehovah`s Witnesses who have been abused . Years ago you took on the WTB&TS in a Court of Law at your own expense and you have been relentless ever since in seeking justice for the abused children of JW`s.

Kudos to all those who have worked alongside you in this endeavour .

Why is the Watchtower omitting even more scriptures from their bible?

by Tameria2001 in

i was searching for something online when i came across something that perked my interest.

i left the jws back in 2001, and have recently discovered that in 2013 they released a new edition of the new world translation of the holy scriptures.

but something i have also discovered it that they have omitted even more scriptures than what was in the 1984 edition as if that was bad enough.

smiddy3

The Ethiopic bible has 81 books in the Old Testament , the Orthodox Bible has 51 books in the Old Testament ,the Catholic Bible has 46 books in the Old Testament and the Protestant Bible has 39 books in the Old Testament .

These are just a few that come to mind.

Apparently these all have the same amount of books in the New Testament..

So which Bible are you going to believe in ? Can`t GOD make up his mind how many books should be included in the Bible ?

So their are at least 42 books of Scripture that are excluded from some Bibles { mainly Protestant } that other non Protestant religions have .

Maybe Tameria 2001 you should be asking why have Jehovah`s Witnesses omitted so many of these other books that learned men have seen fit to include in their Bible .

And why did the WTB&TS see fit to adopt the Protestant view as to what was acceptable and what was not as they were also viewed as Apostate Christendom by them .?

Of course they have always held a special hatred of the Roman Catholic religion as is evidenced by their many publications since they began in the late 1800`s .

The Ultimate Abuse Against Children of The Jehovah`s Witness Sect That Goes undetected .

by smiddy3 in

surprisingly this category of "no to blood transfusions" and if you do have one you will be df if you are a baptized jw and shunned by all of your friends and family in the religion indefinitely .. and even if you are not baptized yet you will still be marked as a person who has violated gods commands and you will still be ostracized from your family and friends for who knows how long.. then their is the pressure from family and "friends" encouraging the child to refuse a transfusion and be loyal to jehovah and if the worst did happen and they died they would be assured of a resurrection into their new world paradise.. coupled with all of that is the jw liasion committee that involves themselves in such cases putting added pressure on the young child not to give in his resolve to refuse blood because he would be letting down his god his parents/ family and all of his friends at the kingdom hall who expect him / her to remain faithful.. what a tremendous load of pressure that is to put on a child.loss of family friends and support at such a young age.. no wonder he/she would feel compelled to refuse a blood transfusion with all of this hanging over their head in their vulnerable state and at such a young age.. and then their is the awake magazine that shows all of these children who put god first and died for refusing to take a blood transfusion at the direction of the wtb&ts / jehovah`s witness religion and held up as martyrs for doing so.. if that`s not child abuse at its worst then i don`t know what is.. the jw/wt religion should be taken to court and charged over this abuse of children .. child abuse that leads to the death of a child..

Surprisingly this category of "No To Blood Transfusions" and if you do have one you will be DF if you are a baptized JW and shunned by all of your friends and family in the religion indefinitely .

And even if you are not baptized yet you will still be marked as a person who has violated Gods commands and you will still be ostracized from your family and friends for who knows how long.

Then their is the pressure from family and "friends" encouraging the child to refuse a transfusion and be loyal to Jehovah and if the worst did happen and they died they would be assured of a resurrection into their New World Paradise.

Coupled with all of that is the JW liasion committee that involves themselves in such cases putting added pressure on the young child not to give in his resolve to refuse blood because he would be letting down his God his parents/ family and all of his friends at the kingdom Hall who expect him / her to remain faithful.

What a tremendous load of pressure that is to put on a child.Loss of family friends and support at such a young age.

No wonder he/she would feel compelled to refuse a blood transfusion with all of this hanging over their head in their vulnerable state and at such a young age.

And then their is the AWAKE magazine that shows all of these children who put God first and died for refusing to take a blood transfusion at the direction of the WTB&TS / Jehovah`s Witness religion and held up as martyrs for doing so.

If that`s not child abuse at its worst then I don`t know what is.

The JW/WT religion should be taken to court and charged over this abuse of children .

Child Abuse that leads to the death of a child.

Jehovah`s Witnesses / WTB&TS and anybody else can legally delay signing up to the National redress Scheme for survivors of Child Sexual abuse up until the 3o'th of June 2020

Why does it have to take close on another two years for them to make their mind up about joining the scheme.?

And you can bet your life JW`s will stop at nothing to extend that even further given half the chance.

Why does the Government give these institutions so much leeway before they have to comply ?

The more I learn about this process the more skeptical I become..

Its already been about 5 years since this Australian Royal Commission into Institutionalized Child Sexual Abuse was proposed by Julia Gillard of the Labour party. { correct me if I`m wrong }

It all seems like delaying tactics to me .

And Governments are just giving lip service to appease those who are demanding justice. And given time it will all be forgotten as other issues will take precedence .

Call me a cynic

My JW friend

by former2free in

jw
friends

i have been on a journey to leave and my plans are starting to come to their fulfillment.

i got the job i want back to move away from where i’m at and i have just a couple of hurdles to get past.

one of those was telling my best friend whom i’ve known since i was 13. he is still very active and indoctrinated and we had a long conversation where i told him i’m leaving the organization.

smiddy3

I just looked back at your first post 10 years ago where you said it was all BS and you were going to leave then ?

And you still haven`t ? After 10 years ?

What about your then wife ? You don`t mention her in your latest post is she still a JW ?

You mentioned that your brother was a doubter back then 10 years ago also ?

I think you need to explain yourself a little better my friend .

Just saying.

Back after 4 years!!

by ohnightdivine in

gosh i can't believe i would still be able to log in to this site after around 4 years.

i simply just forgot my password and got the lightbulb back in my head a few minutes ago.

not sure if anyone can still remember me (i was just one of those occasional passers-by a few years ago with some relatively depressing experience after waking up to ttatt).. in the last 4 years, i:.

smiddy3

Welcome back OND , you say you have woken up to TTATT yet you still occasionally go in the preaching work ?

I`m a little confused what does one who has woken up to TTATT say to a householder while representing themselves as one of Jehovah`s Witnesses ?

According to your own words.

am no longer participating in the 'preaching' work, only occasionally ??????

I Got Very Stange JW Doorknocker Yesterday

by pale.emperor in

i had an ex-jw uncle of mine visiting me yesterday from another part of the country.

i usually only ever see him at weddings and funerals but we keep in touch on facebook.

we were catching up in my place with his wife when about an hour into the visit there's a knock on my door, this was about 4pm.. strange... the only people who ever knock without calling me first are the postman and my ex-wife.. i open the door and it's a face i recognize from my last congregation.

smiddy3

If I was you p.e. I would track down where he lives and do a cold call on his residence late in the morning or early afternoon when he would more likely be sober and sound him out as to why he called on you .

It could be very interesting to see what his response would be .
