  Narrowly focused, sometimes illiterate

  three of my sisters - there are five of us - were baptized as witnesses.

  one of them has gone from reading voraciously to only reading her textbooks and watchtower publications.

  this does not seem to be unusual among witnesses.

  Reminder re: Spammers

  by Simon in

  just a reminder about spammers.. please ignore them!.

  they are idiots, we have a real "gay-for-j" zealot right now who hasn't got the message that they are not wanted and no one is interested in their bible-fantasy gibberish.

  there's a certain irony that their own site is covered in "don't spam" rules but they think it's acceptable to do it to others.

  Simon, thanks. I think these spammers are now “disliking” everyone’s comments.

  Many put forth little to no effort to learn proper English. It’s not “important” enough for them. I was (and still am) a voracious reader, as a kid I read everything I could get my hands on. Which is why I won all the spelling bees in school. 😀

  Anyone have stories about this?

  just reading on reddit...witnesses coming over to someone’s home after a death in the family to ‘pick over’ their possessions or asking about if they left any money to the cult?

  i remember, at my previous place of employment, a mexican immigrant at my workplace, had converted to jw from catholic, although i did try to talk him out of it.

  this has to be over 25 years ago.

I remember, at my previous place of employment, a Mexican immigrant at my workplace, had converted to JW from Catholic, although I did try to talk him out of it. This has to be over 25 years ago. Anyway, he was an unmarried man, with no dependents. He had an elderly mother back in Mexico. He had a massive heart attack and died suddenly. Some from his congregation had the gall to show up at our workplace and start asking questions about if he had any life insurance, who the beneficiary was, if they had any knowledge about his 401K, and who was getting that, etc. Our boss kicked them out rather quickly(wise man), he came over to tell me what happened, because of my background. He told me that his mom got everything. I was glad to hear that. What a lot of nerve!

  after my 4 and 6 year old sisters and i (5) were molested and covered up by elders, at 15 i'm disassociated for smoking.

  then years later after attending a passover with family members, i'm not suddenly disassociated anymore and attempted befriending begins.

  wow.

  Police raid a Kingdom Hall in Norway and question elders

  by cachito in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  police raid a kingdom hall in norway of jehovah's witnesses and question elders.jehovah's witnesses want to cooperate with the police and explain why they have an arc of alleged crimes.

  they claim that their elders are priests and must maintain confidentiality ... however ... the watchtower headquarters does not ask elders to refer to themselves as priests, that would be a disfellowshipping offense.

  and they do not ask their elders to maintain confidentiality ... they must give the information to high ranking officials within the watchtower hierarchy.

  Seems like they were right, the governments go after “false” religion first.

  My mom was all worked up about “the end” when the COVID 19 thing started. I countered her with, “Didn’t they say the same after 9/11?”. She shut up. Lol, poor woman knows she’s in a cult, but will never admit it.
