latest jw community podcast has THE best interview
by cobweb inno really, its golden stuff.
i just listened to it and it contains an amazing interview with an australian activist who i only vaguely have heard of called steven unthank.
he is one of the best guests i've heard on that show, competing with the governing body helper they interviewed once.

Absolutely incredible! To learn what happened during the beginning of this whole Australian Royal Commission and Geoffrey Jackson, why the term "mentally diseased" disappeared out of the Bible, why there is no 'anointed class anymore, that WT said ... well, I won't give it all away....
But, without all of the work this man has done for years, we would not be where we are today with child abuse laws, and the exposing of the Watchtower.

What Privileges do you get when you are baptized ?
by LOLS inmy husband was baptized at the recent 2018 convention in south africa ....... he was very annoyed that his non-believing wife did not attend the baptism....... but i think he received pressure from his jw father & elders as to why his wife was not attending ....... anyway ..... it's really water off my back .
i wanted to know what privileges you get as a baptized jw man , as i saw a message from one of the elders at his cong , congratulating him on his baptism and to earning more privileges ..... what are these privileges the elder is speaking about ,,,,, .
i don't feel like asking my husband as it just lands up in a stupid fight ..... or a long winded explanation ..... thanks .

The biggest danger... "child custody".
If he ever views you as a spiritual danger to himself or his child, and lots of people are doing it these days, he just might divorce you and sue for child custody and the right to "freedom of religion" for his child.
JWs worry constantly worry about Armageddon, and who will survive... especially their children. Unless their kids are baptized, or if too young "on the way to pleasing Jehovah", they are worried, and will do anything to save them. Really.
Take care, beware.

by Still Totally ADD inmy wife and me have a booth at the local framers market.
there is usually about 12 t0 14 vendors each week on a small short street in town.

Do KHs lock their doors when meeting starts now?
by NikL inmy still in wife informed me this morning that she must be on time to the meeting as they are locking the door when it starts now.. i said that's crazy.
she said it's because of the times we are living in.. we live in a rural area and crime isn't terrible though it's worse than it used to be.. i told her if that's the way it is then why bother leaving the house at all?.
she said they are just trying to be safe.. is this a thing now?

Advice on my JW Mother
by InjusticeSystem ini need the advice of those of you who are exjw's on what to do about my still in mother.
briefly, here's the situation: i am a born-in, never got baptised (thank the fsm), became an athiest about 2015 but haven't come out to anyone but my wife and some trusted friends.
my mother was raised in the society and is a true believer, but was never as strict about it as some parents are when i was growing up.

What a tough choice!
For the best possibility of helping her, though, I would think that the more she sees you, does things with you and your family, the easier it would be for her to 'come back to you' and 'leave the Borg' if she 'woke up.' Right?
If I was "the mom", and my son kept close to me, talked with me even though "I returned to the evil", I wouldn't feel bad leaving WT in the future, and admitting it to my son, because he was always there for me as a friend, even though I had 'returned.'
If you don't lock her out, and then she blocks you (in the future) you won't have any question of "What if I had......?"
She might draw the line in the sand, who knows?
Until then, you have your best chance to help her out. She wants friends, she wants things to do. If something happens in the org, or to her to change her mind, you will be there.
On the other hand, I know how you feel when things are hypocritical. It's hard. I hate injustice too.
Personally, getting her involved in other things (hikes? bike rides? beach trips? lake? river? dancing? BBQs? going to the movies? a concert? playing games at your house, fun stuff) might help her see that "the Borg" is not the best way to have fun, and that there is life outside of the organization. Plus, she will have less indoctrination. (try to take her on a Sunday or a "Tuesday night", etc. )
Good luck, let us know

What Flipper is saying, and I watched the WT video also, was:
1. Destroy any 'extra evidence'... like notes, phone records, letters, anything that can be used in court as evidence to support what happened.
2. They are not telling them "destroy the fact that they were DFd" (although I would say that they try to hide WHAT they were DF'd for, by saying something like: "Oh, he stole something from a store (which they DID do), or they were smoking (which they did) or "they got drunk" (which they did) and then not mention that the person also molested a child.... After all, they are now 'disfellowshipped.'
Like Flipper said, they do not trust the rank and file, or 'elders' to keep things secret. What if a wife found a notebook in her home, and read the notes about an abuser? WT does not want elders to keep any personal notes or evidence.
WT does have a good knack for 'hinting' at what they realllly want people to do without realllly saying it. I am sure some elders will take the 'destroy all evidence' to the next level.

I use to try to explain how stinkin' hard it was to do these number 3 & #4 talks to my husband. He just could NOT understand why it was so hard! I use to have nightmares trying to think of a 'setting' that would seem so 'normal'.
My sister & I were laughing.... Your talk is on the 70 weeks of years.. You go to your Bible Study's house, and they are talking about planting 70 irises in their garden... "Seventy?", you say.... "That reminds me, have you ever heard of the 70 weeks of years?"
Notice how many men (not) are commenting on this thread?
