in his video he mentions an elders letter sent to germany in 07 , i believe.
in this letter if i'm understanding it correctly the elders are being instructed to send most of any information on hand about child abuse in their congregation to headquarters and any thing else they have at home or in their personal possession to destroy it.
this seams to be the most obvious case of wt telling their elders to destroy information.
I think you guys have are suffering of the exact same thing you are criticizing crazyguy of doing. He's been in the forum for quite some time and has posted (when I checked) 5,739 times.
Scanning through his post, they don't strike me as a person just talking out of nowhere.
Just sayin'
i live in a pretty conservative area of the united states, and in the past two decades i can remember 2, that's right, two instances of seeing a jw with a beard in my area.
(not counting myself at times, 😜, and i'm obviously not counting bearded visitors dressed in casual clothes).. however at this year's convention, i saw about a dozen bearded jws .
this is like an explosion where i live.
...I realize that none of them are likely Ministerial Servants, and per current policy do not qualify to appear on an assembly program.
Maybe that's why they have it?
did anybody else notice in the convention drama when they went to the memorial the speaker called jesus "our lord and savior"?
when have you ever heard jws use that phrase?
christians, yes; jws, no..
I wonder what's the equivalent of that in other languages. Then I could tell if I heard it.
hi everyone.. this is just a thought, while reading bill bowen's silent lambs website i was interested to find out how long ago the figure of 23,000 molesters was published.. well it was in 2002.. in the spring of 2002, silentlambs was contacted by three different sources who claimed to have connected with people inside the headquarters of the watchtower bible & tract society of new york, located in patterson , new york .
these insiders provided silentlambs contacts with a computer data base number of 23,720 child molesters on file there.
so as the spring of 2002 was just over 15 years ago i wonder how many more have been added to the list ?.
there 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?
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.
why do elders ask such perverted questions during judicial meetings?
kinda creeped me out, actually creeped me out a lot.

They jerk off to them after.
so on our way to hospital today i see a car load of jehovah's pull up to a pump a row over.
i thought to myself, "not now!!
" we were running late to nicu and of course these dummy's take this moment to drive up to give us some good news.
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.
i 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.
it is quite a step to register, still in.
old family in, good marriage in.
i dont know exactly how much to say and not let too much out to get caught.
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.
That looks creepy! That is an odd choice of place to park their carts.
