I plan to share this with an old friend, an ex-elder who left his wife and the bOrg and was df'd but now tells me he is working hard to be reinstated. (WTF?) I thought he was intelligent but we'll see how he reacts to these news articles and lawsuits.
Balaam, thank you for posting this, keep up the good work!
latest newspaper coverage containing more details on the newly filed lawsuit against the watchtower.. lawsuit alleges exploitation, negligence, fraud throughout organization.

jehovah's witness lawsuit.
Nice statement, Flipper, thanks!
remember getting the sense that when armageddon final comes everyone will "have to know" that it was jehovah?.
the big "told you so".
probably on christmas to boot.... .
Phizzy, so well said:
I am hoping to be alive whan I can say " I told you so", the day when The Nations Shall Know that JW org is a Scam.
i just discovered that the circuit assembly my family is attending tomorrow contains a symposium entitled:.
help others to seek jehovah's righteousness: those who have become inactive.
i poked around a bit on here and didn't find any comments about this.
Stillin, I agree. From the comments I've heard, most look down on me with pity, convinced that I have either done something I'm ashamed of or that I've allowed someone to stumble me. Poor me.....Meanwhile, I am enjoying a beautifully cool sunshiny morning and I get to plan my day according to my wishes.
But I really like the idea of counteracting their attempts with "Oh, my goodness, have you not heard of the widespread child abuse scandals? It's worse than the catholic church!" and them hand them some newspaper clippings on Candace Conti, the Texas 6, the UK scandals...and toss in a letter from the UN as well.
so what are you doing to enjoy yourself?
doesn't have to be for anyone around you, or have anything to do with jw world.
just something that you do for you and only you and that fills your soul (whatever that means).
Although the thought of watching the cartoons in Ucantnome's underwear sounds like fun...I like to garden and see beautiful plants grow. I'm also re-reading lots of books from past decades that I never had time for or "shouldn't" have read because they were (oh, no!) "worldly". Then there is craft beer...grandkids...and being at peace every day. And I am particularly fond of sleeping in on the weekends...not that I do, but knowing that I CAN. Lovely.
has anyone ever thought to send a copy of rutherford's letter to hitler & declaration of facts to the holocaust museum in washington, d.c.?
they have and entire section dedicated to the jehovah's witness in that museum.
i would hate for tourists to visit the museum and not get the whole story.. i would also assume there are jw displays at other holocaust museums around the world.
BTTT yet again
that is the question for the next months ... i am 32 and i will turn 33 on december....i am freaking out!!!
my hubby and i have no children and we are not looking for one right now because im studying a masters.
i will finish subjects in june and after that i will write my thesis (6 more months).
Dudu - I never thought I would have children and was working on my master's when I became pregnant. I never found the master's necessary to earn money, but I did find being a mom to be the most absolutely wondrous and joyful thing I've ever accomplished.
Screaming kids come from unsettled parents, usually. If you are calm and happy, your kids will be calm and happy.
To this day, I can honestly tell you that my daughters have made my life important. Work, not so much. I don't define myself by my job (which pays nicely, btw). Being a mom taught me what love means. It taught me unconditional love. Amen to the good doctor BerryGerryBerry when he says:
Nothing turns you into a better human being than being a parent.
Wishing you all the best, whatever decision you make. Happy life!
seriously, endured a torturous conversation with an active jdub yesterday.
and he was frothing at the mouth about how "muslims are doing the right thing with .
executing the....." he then went on to list everyone from drugdealers to thieves to fornicators.. he said "countries where this sort of thing is happening have got it right!
LUHE - once upon a time, the jdubs actually held Jesus in esteem, but no longer...he exists in their limited minds only to show how wonderful! is their false god Jehovah.
Just another reason why this is a CULT and not a religion in any sense.
And they have some really scary cult personas...
sexual exploitation and abuse of six young children leads to lawsuit in dallas county.
dallas, oct. 23, 2014 /news.gnom.es/ six young adults, from north texas, all sexually abused as children, filed suit today in dallas, texas state court against three north texas jehovahs witnesses congregations (dallas, plano, and greenville), the watchtower bible and tract society of new york, and an elder.. sexually abused when they were ages 4 through 14, the plaintiffs were children of members of the dallas, plano, and greenville jehovahs witnesses congregations.
the suit states that they were repeatedly sexually abused and molested by an elder and an unknown regional circuit overseer, and that they and their families were threatened with discipline and harm if they disclosed the abuse to anyone.
Phizz, why did the catholic church continue to protect their pedophile priests until they were so widely exposed? They have gotten away with it for so long they are deluded into thinking that they will escape punishment.
If every JW child/now adult who has been molested could band together and file a massive class action suit against this vile organization, it would come tumbling down.

Bravo for the victims coming forward, but what horrible experiences they have suffered and continue to suffer from. Reading the filing left me in tears.
A million dollars each won't even scratch the surface of the pain of these young people, but let's hope they get tens of millions instead.
There should be a special kind of torture punishment for the Watchtower child molesters and child rapists.
