I agree, children's interests should be put first. If EVERY one were obligated to report, there would be a whole lot less "slipping through the cracks"

IMPORTANT NEWS: ABC News' Nightline will air a segment about the Watchtower (JWs) Wednesday morning at 12:35 a.m. EST

by AndersonsInfo in

important news:.

here in the united states, on wednesday morning, march 11th at 12:35 a.m., est, barring any breaking news the day before, the program, nightline, will air as their lead story a 9-minute segment about the watchtower (jehovah's witnesses).

the program is 30 minutes long and this segment is only one part of the show.

cha ching

So true, Gone and Forgotten. You don't know how many people got DF'd because they refused to cover up this wrongdoing, and are still feeling the pain, while the 'still innners' feel very righteous because they 'go to meetings.'

Yep, "still going to meetings" makes you 'righteous'......

by AndersonsInfo in

(i forgot my phone.

Yay! We'll have a new U-Verse box by then, and we can record it!

The Days if Noah - Is this the new unofficial generation?

by cofty in

edit - "the days of noah" damn!.

long story short - i need to go to bed!

i was in edinburgh today with my wife (football, coffee, walks, food, cinema) and i always try to take 10 minutes to have a chat with the jws on the trolley in the "big city".. i challenged an older guy who turned out to be an pioneer about the generation.

cha ching

I was wondering the same thing, Cofty... The minute I kept hearing "Noah", the GB /WT modus operendi came to mind.... Repeat, repeat, repeat =make it the truth. They have done the same thing throughout their history, they won'the stop now. To the thinking person, Jesus applied Noah to "his day"..... & it was ONLY forty years....

I need your advice

by cookiemaster in

i need some advice.

actually my friend needs some advice.

a few years ago i moved about 50 km (30 miles) away from the nearest congo and have since tried to live a normal life.

cha ching

Definitely do not meet up....

Nowadays, things are very different than the innocent "Hey, we're just stopping by"..... etc.

I had a friend that was asked to go to a "meeting" that she thought was one of 'upbuilding,' she cried, and the next thing you knew she was "marked".... She had no clue, until the announcement!

After that bit of insanity (elders with an ego can do and say anything they very well like) she thought, "Hell no, I won't go.... ever again!" I agree!

Never, and I mean never, meet with them... You have no control. They are a law to themselves. They do not deserve any information from you, so you SHOULD 'play along' / mislead with their "stupicratic warfare" / do anything to get them off your back. "I have a cold" "I am anxious, I couldn't sleep" "I changed my mind" or just plain old "don't go." Don't show up... People miss doctor's appointments that took them months to get, they miss job interviews, they miss dinner dates. What is so bad about "missing a meeting"?

If they do show up, and ask 'why?", just stare them in the face and don't answer them... Raise your eyebrows, shrug your shoulders, say, "Hmmm?" and walk away.

Don't go... your life will be more and more complicated, and why?

Just Want To Be Heard

by dubstepped in

i've been lurking here for a while now, and i guess you could call me a fader.

i don't have hate in my heart for the organization that i spent most of my life in, but i have had an awakening.

luckily, so has my wife, and that way i don't feel so alone.

cha ching

Yay! you made it! You "awoke", and so did your wife ;-)

That is awesome! Writing is a great way to sort things out, I like your opening words, I think we can ALL ID with that:

"Haunted

By the things I was told

That I'd never grow up, never grow old".

Next step? Start really living and enjoying life!

Welcome ;-)

Governing Body Member Stephan Lett Lies On JW.TV

by Finkelstein in

i thought it would be important to clearly point in the recent talk by governing body member stephan lett, that he did in fact deliberately lie concerning what he described as lies and false information by apostates, concerning the organization being permissive toward people in the organization who had been involved in pedophilia.

the truth of the matter is thats exactly what the organization has been doing and perhaps for a long time.

the recent candace conti law suit where she was awarded 28 million dollars was levied against the wts for its irresponsible behavior by the elders who gave no notification of the accused jonathan kendrick that he had been charged with pedophilia and spent months in jail for his actions .
