  A message from Barbara Anderson re: the health state of her hero, her husband, Joe Anderson

  from barbara:.

  my dear husband, joe anderson, has had very real problems with his short-term memory for at least a year which really worried me.

  as his mental health deteriorated, i decided to have our local longtime physician talk alone with joe during an office visit last september.

  Sorry to hear this, Barbara. Dealing with someone with dementia is never easy, and requires a great deal of patience. So glad to hear that you and Joe had 65 happy years together. Stay strong, and know that both of you have been stellar human beings! You both have helped so many. I wish I lived near you, because my specialty is bringing meals to those who need them. Hugs and prayers to you! 🙏🏻

  JW internal culture is destroying everything that makes a Jehovah’s Witness

  by ukpimo in

  the entire internal religious culture of the watchtower organization is harmful for its current members.

  the culture seems to traverse ethnic and national barriers.

  however, the worst of each culture all around the world appears to have a symbiotic relationship with the religion in an attempt to make the org fanciful in every nation and locality.

  They save on gas with letter writing, but spend it on stamps! Those letters are so unwelcoming to strangers. The phone calls didn’t work too well, either. My mom tried calling, she said a lady asked how she got her number. Well, she got a list of numbers from an elder, but she couldn’t tell the lady that. So she said she got her number from the internet. The woman said, “I think you’re full of crap.” And hung up. 😏

  Reddit thread - ‘Organization Finally Suggesting to Plan for Retirement’

  this information is supposed to be in the upcoming march wt.

  (i don’t go on jw dot org).

  it would sound like they are hinting at a change in thinking.. in my opinion, any such change would be yet another slap in the face to faithful pimis along with those other recent changes.. there are so many heartfelt responses on that thread and a lot of justified anger.. don’t know what to say except that i’m so glad i never listened to the religion all those years ago.

  JW's home schooling over-representing

  by joey jojo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  speaking to an old elder friend recently about his decision to home school his high school aged kids.. he claims that here in australia, about 30% of the students that log into online classrooms are jw's.

  the others are disabled kids - who cant physically attend class and the rest are long distance students.. another generation of under-educated jw kids on the way..

  I shudder to think what would have happened to me, if I had to be home schooled by my HS dropout mom. I’m in the US. I graduated high school early. I was sixteen.

  Child abuse calculations

  by Anony Mous in

  2. scandals

  there are no real numbers for jws but they are a relatively small group.

  compared to the number of catholics at least.. the australian commission gathered more than 5000 cases with over 1000 perpetrators that went completely unreported for the jws.

  likewise they did the same for catholics and collected just under 4800 cases with 1880 perpetrators.

  American Primeval and the Mormons

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  just finished season 1 on netflix.. holy crap, i had no idea of the history of the mormons!.

  i always thought they were like the jws, or the quakers, but they were full on fascists committing massacres.. i'm sure they are hating having more people be aware of their past, but i gotta say, it is more event-filled than the jw history..

  Simon, you are so right about Mormon history! Last Christmas someone gave me a book entitled, Under The Banner Of Heaven. It was a history of the Mormon church, from its inception. Wow, so much violence! Also, Joseph Smith was such a sexual deviant. He just married any young girl he wanted to have sex with, I think some were only 12. He had, if I remember correctly, 37 wives. In addition, he was a frequent visitor of the local brothel. Which makes me wonder how he managed all of this, especially since Viagra was not available back then.
