  my old congregation's regional convention was the week before last, and for the first time in 20 years, i wasn't there.

  instead on the very same weekend, i went to a geeky fan convention called magic city con.

  i had loads of fun there, i cosplayed as a jedi and the doctor (which is my current profile pic).

  Sounds like a lot more fun than the JW conventions for sure.

  ...and need a bullet to the head.

  my wife found a post on instagram where some jw nutter claims that either lett or morris said this in a talk.

  any confirmation or video of such?

  http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/cross-dressing-jehovahs-witness-raped-13311020.

  a cross-dressing jehovah’s witness raped and molested a girl while making her wear adult women’s clothes.. david fuge, 69, wore dresses and silky underwear when he repeatedly abused his blindfolded victim from the age of eight to 19.. .

  liverpool crown court heard he gagged her and on one occasion tied a belt around her neck and left her hanging from a hook in a room.. he photographed the child naked, made her read pornographic magazines, beat her with a piece of wood and abused her at a golf course.. .

  Who would support this vile excuse for a human?
  

  Donald Trump supporters.
  

  OK, that wasn't nice (feels good, though). Hillary Clinton supporters (better?).
  

  I made the statements above because of what I am about to write.
  

  You will be surprised that there are always people who support the most vile and hideous criminals. There are serial killer groupies, there are people who support sex with minors and believe that it is possible to have a romantic/sexual relationship between an adult and a child.

  And I wouldn't be surprised if there was some kind of transgender rights advocate who wants to use that to make it about transgender rights, even though cross-dressing and being transgender have nothing to do with each other.

  There are people who believe that the cross-dressing part will be made as some kind of psychological problem, and they oppose to that view, hence may feel that supporting him will make people "aware" of how judgemental people are over people with those proclivities.

  The list can go on and on and on. We are no longer in a world where a crime is just a crime. Crimes are now used as platforms for each one of its components to be exploited by supporters of some cause or point of view.

  And there are some people who somehow convince themselves that the criminal is somehow a "victim". And there are some people who ejnoy getting negative attention by supporting a POS like that. They get a cheap thrill when people around them say "WHAT!" or something.

  Latest son of thunder video on YouTube and the 07 letter to the elders.

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  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'

  Beards a-poppin!

  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.

  The Watchtower Database of Child Molesters.

  by WHATSGOINGON in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  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 ?.

  I'd be more concerned about why they are keeping a database. What is supposed to be the purpose of that?

  Zalkin

  by the girl next door in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  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.
