Judicial meeting questions.

by Fader812 in

why do elders ask such perverted questions during judicial meetings?

kinda creeped me out, actually creeped me out a lot.

.

Most of the elders are in sexless marriages and feel guilty about the amount of porn they look at. When they can use their influence upon a young girl or boy to divulge the details of their sexual encounters it becomes stimulating and satisfying for them because they avoid the usual guilt in trade for something they feel instructed to do by the little dark green secret elders instruction book.

They go home and use their rediscovered arrows on the frigid quiver occupying their bed. She's happy because of the illusion he cares, he's happy because more judicial meetings are scheduled.

Becoming a jw actually made me a much more worldly person.

by lancelink in

i was raised a catholic from birth to age 15, that's when my dad started to study with some jw's that came to our door.

i was too young/ naive to notice how my lifelong friends were slowly being replaced with so called " outstanding spiritual youths".. anyway, there was randy and kevin, the sons of the po from the hall, everyone thought that they were the most spiritual people i could hang out with.

these guys taught me the fine points of :.

JW kids I grew up with committed heinous crimes. Murder of store manager. Assault on school principle. Grand theft. Rape.

Of course the adults in their life weren't much of an example. Murder, Pedophilia, child porn ,aggravated assault/vandalism, fraud, perjury, larceny, kidnapping, tax evasion.

And the petty stuff like adultery, infidelity, porn, loose conduct, brazen conduct, (which covers everything outside of attending meetings and door knocking) a little casual and recreational drug use, including providing all the above to minors.

Getting away from JWs was a revelation in itself. Learning that all other "Christians" or whatever walk of life wasn't simply spectacular because they were not jacked up like JWs was a process.

"worldly" people are normal. The JW baggage we carry just makes us susceptible to the next cult or creature worship.

How many have traded one cult for the next?

Tread carefully, you've already wasted a bunch of years.

Do You Hope Donald Trump Makes Jestures Of Mending USA With Russia Relationships?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

i think the problems the us and russia face are mainly ideological.

the cold war these two countries have been in needs to be stopped and common sense needs to be applied i hope trump can push thing in the right direction and that he has good advisors.

i'm all for these two major world military powers to put away their differences and find way to work together on common problems they face.. they need to cooperate with each other even in their cyber warfare.

Trump and his administration are in trouble, like it or not. He is acting like a beaten step child, not the arrogant misogynist he was during the campaign. Yes the one that was elected by a college that is just as psychopathic. He lost the popular vote embarrassingly and it will haunt him forever. Blame it on California. California should rule or succeed. Russia has no power except through the internet. They want the US and all democracy to fail. They are doing an exceptional job. Should give you pause if you love democracy. But unless you have existed in a nation without it, you have no clue. Stop watching Fox News. It is rotting your power of reason. You likely escaped a cult. Do not get suckered in by the cult of Trump.

As a JW teenager I knew how to get away with everything. The object was not to get caught. As a parent of non-JW teenagers I realize how completely jacked up my youth was. The burdens placed upon me, compelled me to "badness". It was a game. I released the spring of parenthood control on my teenagers gradually. They are remarkably successful young adults. My spring was compressed until well into my second marriage and when I demanded its full release it wasn't pretty. I cringe for JW youth. They are all unpredictable messes.

I have personally witnessed countless "Christians" enter medical or legal schooling only to be vividly atheist at the end of it all. It really gives pause. I'm not certain it isn't because they literally have discovered they are (G)gods or they have stumbled upon what most of us can't. The debate is endless and fruitless. Once you have seen, you can not unsee. Unfortunately,it works both ways.

Zalkin

by the girl next door in

there may not be anyone on the planet that has inside information about watchtower abuse in regard to sexual child abuse than zalkin.

he has been given a plethora of inside information but can not share it by order of the court.

when will the courts lift this veil of protection for religious entities?

There may not be anyone on the planet that has inside information about Watchtower abuse in regard to sexual child abuse than Zalkin. He has been given a plethora of inside information but can not share it by order of the court. When will the courts lift this veil of protection for religious entities? Why doesn't mandated reporting follow through for attorneys? Zalkin speaks often of the Catholic church being brought to its knees with the unrelenting allegations of CSA. When will this happen to the Watchtower? I would love to hear more from Zalkin or from sources. CNN is never at a loss for sources. Don't get me wrong. This is not an attack on Zalkin, but rather an attack on our legal system. Why can't everyone on every level get behind the idea that we need to end child sexual abuse and open up full transparency upon institutions like the Watchtower? I know. It requires patience. But every day of patience leads to more abused children. I have dealt with so many attorneys. They seem to be immune to the passing of time. As do the courts. I am concerned it lowers the bar for all of us.

new guy random thoughts

it is quite a step to register, still in.

old family in, good marriage in.

i dont know exactly how much to say and not let too much out to get caught.

You are on a journey. Part of you is likely saying you see dark stormy times ahead. Listen to it and prepare yourself. You are headed into a storm. But it shouldn't spell disaster for you. Plan your work and work your plan. Thousands have been in your shoes and come out the end the better for it. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. And its going to feel like you are being killed. But it is worth it. Do it. Don't delay.

Has there ever been a time when someone has been outed as a JW mole on this forum?

by Tenacious in

having been a jw for decades i'm used to watching what i do, say, or watch, in fear of being snitched on.. therefore, i the question begs.. there have been instances, i won't say how, where i've felt some members are being deliberate in their attempt to feign support for the anti-jw rhetoric on this forum.. any input is greatly appreciated..

A better question would be, how many JW moles that have come across this place are still JWs?

Scientology special on A&E tonight with Leah Remini

by nonjwspouse in

i'm not sure where it is airing elsewhere, but on the a&e channel, at 7p then again at 10p est tonight, leah remini is doing a scientology special.

it looks to be a great show.

i am not sure if it is one time, or the beginnings of a series.

Saw the first installment tonight. Chilling. Substitute countless ExJW stories for each segment. I'm sure the same could be said for the LDS and so many other cults. I couldn't help but admire Leah for her courage and willingness to speak out and marvel in her unique ability and capacity to do so. I also felt this sense that nobody cares enough for it to really impact these cults. If its a slow melt and burn maybe, but I want it all NOW! lol. One thing mentioned was that Scientology is having a hard time recruiting Sea Org members, and goes through great lengths to retain what they have. Sounds just like WBTS in relation to straight publishers. Carla I thought the same, if this show finds any sort of success, Leah should expand on it and JWs should be at the top of the list. ;) I also wonder if any active JWs happen to watch this series, its highly probable at least a handful will have that "ah-ha" moment. Isn't it?
