Completely agree with FFGhost. In addition, any kids who want to leave the organization when they reach young adulthood, they prefer them to be condemned to lesser education, so it is more difficult to make a decent living. Then they can point a finger and say, “This is what happens when you leave Jehovah.”

this is for all the ex-jw's on that dreadful day..... do you remember where you were when jfk was shot in dallas, tx?

Biahi

I was barely 4 years old, my mom was sobbing, and saying, over and over, “he loved Jehovah’s Witnesses, he loved Jehovah’s Witnesses.” I became so scared, because I thought we were all going to be tossed into jail or something. (I was only 4). I thought this president was the only thing keeping us from persecution. I became scared, too.

Literature Carts

by NotFormer in

whenever i see a photo of a literature cart, they all look the same to me.

are they a standard design?

who makes them?

Biahi

Fortunately, New Day, they only need to set up the cart for 5 minutes per month, to be ‘active’. That should cut down on the liability.

Lawyers release survey on alleged Jehovah's Witness child abuse

by Tahoe in

a team of lawyers has released the results of its survey on alleged child abuse by members of the jehovah's witnesses religious group in japan.. the team held a news conference in tokyo on monday.

it provides legal support to former members of the group as well as to children of its members.. the lawyers conducted the survey, following the publishing of the health and welfare ministry guidelines last year about child abuse related to parents' religious beliefs.

a total of 560 people responded.. the survey shows 81 percent of the respondents said they had cards indicating they desired to refuse blood transfusions.. the ministry's guidelines state that parents' refusal of medical treatments for children on religious grounds amounts to neglect --- a form of abuse.. the lawyers said investigations are necessary to find how many people died from refusing blood transfusions, and how many of them were children.. the survey also shows 92 percent of the respondents experienced whipping, 96 percent were banned from school activities, and 93 percent were forced to limit their human relations.. the lawyers said many of the children experienced physical and mental abuse, which afterward led to problems such as loneliness, sense of alienation and a lack of self-esteem.

I liked the part which said that the children’s spirit was destroyed, it hit home for me. And, joe134, I’m sorry you were beaten. 😢

Ken and Barbie

by peacefulpete in

forgive the insensitivity of this but does the wt imagine the "resurrected" bodies of the dead will have useless genitalia?

or will the humans 2.0 have the smooth appearance of a ken doll or the nipple-less breasts of a barbie.

any breasts at all?

Biahi

I heard an elder muse in a talk that we will not have genitals in the “new system”. 😂
