i remember many years ago we would talk about those who leave the org.
something bad will happen to them.
because god was mad at them for turning away from the wt.
No, it's just a FEAR tactic used over and over by the evil WTS.
Every single thing that I've done after leaving has been rewarded, not punished. They're just a bunch of liars attempting to manipulate the millions of jdubs who are only trying to do what they've been told is right.
So sad.
what a massive relief!
thank god i have just found this site the other day!
i don't know where to begin!
Smart, welcome and big hugs to you! We all should have figured out the weirdness as fast as you have.
So happy you are here. You are welcome and you will not be judged here. My grandpa was born in Swansea so we have some connection!

I applaud her for taking this stance and raising public awareness. The point is that no matter what anyone or any government thinks, our lives belong to us alone. Yes, what we do with our lives impacts others but if you've ever cared for a dying parent or watched a sibling die of cancer after horrendous chemotherapy, you too will applaud her stance.
Who knows, there may be more of us compelled to move to Oregon to spare our loved ones the trauma of caring for our sickened bodies. It's a selfless act, hers.
Thanks for sharing the article, Bangalore.
hopefully it will make them think.. .

Gravity is not kind to our faces. I never thought I would look so old.....
have i missed a previous posting on this?
sorry if this is old news.. just heard from someone whose meeting is on a tuesday evening; basically, 3 per publisher is to be levied to "replace" the kh insurance payment.
the money will be used for damage, vandalism, & disasters, but also to protect any of the societies' entities.. .
Let's see...sorry, have to do this in USD cause my British is not good...that's $0.30 to cover the liability insurance on all the halls, and $0.50 to cover the liability insurance on all the branches and hq buildings and life insurance policies on the gb, leaving $4.00 to fund the Watchtower Pedophile Fund which pays all those pervert liability claims. So that comes to 7,000,000 x $4.00 = $28,000,000 annually.
Well, that's just not enough, the Conti case alone would have wiped that out before it was lowered.
No wonder they had to sell off so much real estate and steal the savings accounts of all the kingdumb halls.
the new book "gods kingdom rules!
has taken us back to the 1990's with many pages of blood hero's yes brothers who sued the doctor who saved them...april cadoreth only 14 severe internal bleeding the doc got a court order to give her 3 units of packed red blood cells.
(alot) and saved her life so she can pioneer.
Wasanelder, had the same thought when I read the title...
But seriously, if she felt violated it was only because these crazy men pounded this ridiculous doctrine into her brain. Hard to believe I ever believed their nonsense.

This needs to be posted all over the internet...on FB pages and YouTube...it's time the sheeple start to see that these are not isolated incidents but an epidemic of abuse that has been and continues to be sanctioned by the inaction of the WTS and the enforcement of their ridiculous practices that protect pedophiles while punishing and further damaging the innocent victims.
Shame on any of you reading this who are current elders and allow this type of behavior to continue in your congregations.
recently, we drove by the kingdom hall in galena, il, the sign was removed and it was closed down.
a while back, the hall in taylor mo was also closed.
one congregation in peoria, il was dissolved last year.
ScenicViewer, your situation sounds like one in my area. Spanish and English sharing a hall and the Spanish cong was growing fairly quickly. Land was purchased and the congs were making payments for years but it's still vacant after 8-10 years. Been out too long to know the scoop but it doesn't look like there will be a new hall, yet there are no For Sale signs on the property. Maybe when Momma bOrg stole all their savings there wasn't enough left to build.

Could have been a disgruntled former bus rider...or a family member?
Sad, nonetheless.
ok so aparently there was this young girl who wanted to study with the jw's because she loved the bible so much.
she asked her fathers permission but he refused, after much nagging though he said she could have a study if she was prepared to have one of her fingers chopped off.
he thought the is would stop her but she was willing so he got a knife and cut off one of her fingers... a little while later she wanted to attend the meetings and he said no and again when nagged said she could attend meetings if she had another finger chopped off so she agreed and he chopped off a second finger.
These people are just plain nuts.
And this story has made the rounds so many times it should have frequent flyer miles.
