Why can't everyone on every level get behind the idea that we need to end child sexual abuse and open up full transparency upon institutions like the Watchtower?
Look around you, the world is not a functional place.

Zalkin
by the girl next door inthere may not be anyone on the planet that has inside information about watchtower abuse in regard to sexual child abuse than zalkin.
he has been given a plethora of inside information but can not share it by order of the court.
when will the courts lift this veil of protection for religious entities?

So I'm really surprised they would bother. I don't think this person knows our circumstances on how we walked away, but he had to know I at least knew what they were selling?
They are cynical. It wouldn't surprise me if the JW that knows you was the one who sent the other to talk to you.
Anyone have any tried and true quick topics they discuss with these people to get their gears working?
I just tell them to fuck off. I have no time and space for them. I know your circumstances are different, I wish I could give you another suitable answer.
In any event, I wish you the best to you and your newborn.

Becoming a jw actually made me a much more worldly person.
by lancelink ini was raised a catholic from birth to age 15, that's when my dad started to study with some jw's that came to our door.
i was too young/ naive to notice how my lifelong friends were slowly being replaced with so called " outstanding spiritual youths".. anyway, there was randy and kevin, the sons of the po from the hall, everyone thought that they were the most spiritual people i could hang out with.
these guys taught me the fine points of :.

Been there done that myself. That's how it was with many of the "spiritual youth" of one of the congregations I grew up.
I have the feeling that you may have discovered/experienced those things with catholic friends too, though.

Welcome. I think that just being here could help you sort things out. No need to tell anyone anything. Use this time and space for yourself. It will be time well spent.

we have a laid off bethelite with an engineering degree!
by nowwhat? inthis guy have been at bethel for 25 years when he could have been making 75-100 thousand a year as an engineer.
so they kick him to the curb so they don't have to house him and his wife anymore.
they run into a problem at warwick and they ask him to come back for 3 weeks.

How Can a guy with a college degree be so blind and stupid?!
Yet again, equating intelligence to brainwashing, confusing what a person knows with what a person feels.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses a cult just as evil and dangerous as Islam?
by cookiemaster ini know you might think i'm exaggerating but if you really think about it, maybe i'm not.
these two religions originate with the same ancient belief system.
islam is a dangerous middle eastern cult that seeks to control every aspect of its members' lives.

Actually, you are exaggerating, especially all that nonsense about Islam.

Stonewalling and the Governing Body
by UnshackleTheChains inwhy do the gb stonewall individuals with legitimate questions.
for example, they refuse to speak to investagative journalists like trey bundy, unless they happen to get caught somewhere walking about in the street by chance.. i remember the panorama documentary 'suffer the little children' where the presenter tried to arrange an interview with one of the gb.
i can't remember if the gb either refused or simply didn't reply.

Because they are a cult and have things to hide. It's not in their best interest to be under scrutiny.
