  Watchtower (Study) August 2023 gaslighting and deflecting again.

  by was a new boy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  'they turn the story around to make it seem like you are at fault, deflecting attention and blame away from them to make you feel guilty.

  this type of emotional manipulation is called gaslighting.. .

  deflection is manipulation, and if it's coupled with other toxic relationship behaviors, it may be necessary to remove yourself from the situation.'.

  My mom was one of those kids, BethSarim. She is almost 87, waiting to learn how to play piano in the “new system.” 😢 I was never allowed to develop my interests, either.

  How many new converts do you remember as a JW?

  by SydBarrett in

  inspired by the "whats the reason you think jw's are in decline" thread.

  my belief is that almost all the growth, at least in the western world is due to jw's having kids.

  i was a 4th generation jw from birth till about age 20, so the timeframe i can comment on would be my teen years.

  I remember one woman who converted in the early 70’s. They interviewed her on stage, they were so happy to convert someone from the “world”. Her story was that she had engaged in wild orgies, etc. as a worldly person. At about age 10, that is how I learned what an orgy was. She ended up disfellowshipped 3 months later. I guess those orgies were really good. Never saw that woman again.

  Great posts, both of you. I’m an American, I love my country, but I really do wish we had universal health care. I vote that way, it’s my number one issue. Medicare for all, to start.

  In the latest JW_ORG cartoon video, young Caleb learns from his father that he does not have to be baptized to be a Jehovah's Witness

  in the latest jw_org cartoon caleb learns from his father that he can be a jehovah's witness without being baptized by becoming an 'unbaptized publisher'.. the video also refers to a potential meeting with the elders to discuss caleb becoming an 'unbaptized publisher'.. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/children/become-jehovahs-friend/activities/become-an-unbaptized-publisher/.

  This negates their statement about Rebekah Vardy (UK) that she was not, or never was, a Jehovah’s Witness. She was a child taken to the hall by her parents. She had to live by the teachings. I wish someone had told me I “wasn’t a Jehovah’s Witness.”

  'church elders are told to report any allegations of child sexual abuse to the authorities immediately'

  by was a new boy in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  'the spokesperson also said that church elders are told to report any allegations of child sexual abuse to the authorities immediately, even if there is only one complainant.'.

  https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/rebekah-vardy-sexually-abused-child-jehovahs-witnesses/.

  is this true?

  When they say they report right away, they mean they report to the branch, NOT the police, or civil authorities. They are liars, but they say this because they use their definition of a lie, they don’t think the journalists, or others are entitled to be told the truth.

  Fox News feature on Penn. Justice Dept. investigation of Jehovah's Witnesses and Watchtower as an ORGANIZATION after arrest of 9 JWs.

  by Balaamsass2 in

  2. scandals

  a well-done news story.

  the original watchtower organization is incorporated in pennsylvania, and the state has taken on the catholic church successfully.

  this is a case worth watching!
