How long did it take before you realized that you missed the obvious?

remember when the public speaker in the kingdom hall or convention related the ten plagues and the parting of the red sea?.

the finale when jehovah closes the red sea and swallows pharaoh's entire army of egyptian men.. when i was a little kid about 5 years old and listened to this story, i would think---wow jehovah is strong.

when i started school and started learning compassion as early as the first grade i started wondering?????.

Pete, that’s what they told me, too! I didn’t know why we sang that 🎶 Fear not those who kill the body, but cannot destroy the soul. If they teach that we don’t have a soul, maybe we should fear those who would kill our body. I asked my mom, and she told me not to think too much, or I would think myself right out of the truth. So sad.

No matter what you do, it’s never enough. Glad I’m not in that toxic environment.

Do you sometimes bemoan the LOST idea, or Belief, that Someone Powerful was going to set all things right?

so it looks like about half of my jw relatives are not going back to the meetings once they open up the kingdom halls.

the main reason all of them give is that if we were truly living in the last days, jehovah would not have allowed the door to door preaching work, and kingdom hall meetings to stop for over a year.. the elders have talked to some of them and tried to convince them that letter writing is accomplishing the same thing as door to door, and zoom is the same as meetings-----------but my relatives just won’t buy it anymore.

just a note here, at first, the kingdom hall lock-downs, and the no preaching door to door was not that bad,the relatives still held on to their faith strongly because they believed it was temporary.

Methinks the society made a BIG mistake closing down the Kingdom Halls and door to door preaching for so long. Unless they are planning to be “raptured” soon.

Wanting articles on statistics for the incidence of csa between the Catholic Church and JW

by joe134cd in

had an ultra jw relative say to me the there are only a few examples of csa in the jws.

the catholics are significantly worse.

i’m after statistical information that proves him wrong.

Biahi

I can’t quite give you that, but I know those stats are out there, especially in Australia. I think, 1006 victims, 1800? Abusers? Not quite sure of the numbers, but compared to the Catholic Church, much higher percentage.
