Current GB member Ken Cook was born a Mormon, than converted to JW's in High School.

Was Guy Pierce really a Mormon first as well? First time I'm hearing that one.

This is also the first time I'm hearing about LDS "carts".

what to know.

a pennsylvania grand jury investigating child sexual abuse among jehovah’s witnesses has charged another five people with raping or molesting children as young as 4 years old.. the indictments friday are the latest charges in an ongoing probe that has identified 14 suspects.. state attorney general michelle henry says that while the misconduct dates back years or even decades, “the trauma endures for these victims.”.

Things of note about Sarah Brooks case:

1. Upon telling her parents, her parents called the Elders. This in itself is weird, as the father should have gone and kicked the guy's ass!!! Then, called the police. Also, the other abuser was her then sister-in-law, married to her brother.

2. Her Brother didn't find out until YEARS later what his ex-wife had done. She was only DF'd for having an affair.....with the guy who abused Sarah! So her brother knew nothing about the abuse! His testimony can be seen on the Oxygen website.

3. Upon calling the Elders, two of the Elders was in fact related to Sarah's male abuser!!!! They didn't recluse themselves either. WTF????? This is wrong on so many levels.

4. Sarah was homeschooled her entire life. So even at 14-15 years old, she more than likely had the mentality of a 8-10 yr old, and didn't understand sexuality or how she was being groomed. She lived a very cloistered life. She went to work for her abuser first, and her sister in law worked with him as well. The both of them basically teamed up to abuse her at different locations that they were remodeling for sale. (home flippers)

5. The Elders at Yorkana and Red Lion are on a revolving door. They've gone back and forth between Congregations for decades. Many are related as father/son and or related by marriage.

6. The fact that these dumbasses not only didn't report this atrocious abuse, but also victim-shamed and reproved Sarah, shows how fucked up in the head they are. A current Elder at Yorkana, is actually still Facebook friends with Joshua Caldwell, her male abuser. Gee, do you think they believe this dirtbag out over Sarah? You bet!!!

7. In fact, JW's actually sat on Caldwell's side at his trial. Sick!!!

8. Years ago I attended a meeting at Yorkana. (one of my last) This wasn't long after Sarah's abuse. Her father was helping direct parking. I knew nothing of any of this at the time. (I'd been out a long time too) So I had casually asked him how Sarah was, and he actually krinkled his brow and kind of smirked and nodded his head in her direction. Then he went back to directing traffic. I didn't know what the hell was up. I was just being nice. In hindsight, I now know she was "Publicly Reproved" and what I saw was his disgust and embarrassment of her. Her own father!!!! So instead of her Father kicking this scumbag's ass and calling the police, her father called the Elders, and then participated in victim-shaming her further. I knew this man as a child. I respected him. To say I'm STUNNED is an understatement. This is how cults fuck up your mind and decision making abilities. It's no wonder to me that Sarah turned to drugs and self-harm soon after. Because hey! JW's completely shun therapy as well!! (she got therapy on her own later in several forms)

9. Sarah has 2 older siblings. ALL of them are now OUT of the cult. Completely free and living their lives.

10. The parents? Sad as fuck!!!! They used to have a nice home. Sold it, downsized. Then downsized again. Then finally, downsized to an apartment above a garage, probably where the father works. Nice rural area though. Across the street in a nice house, is the Elder I mentioned above who is Facebook friends with Joshua Caldwell. The irony!

11. In a youtube interview with a few others, Sarah was asked about her parents and divulged their living conditions. She also divulged that because of COVID, they were POSITIVE that the end was near, and ramped up the shunning again. But hey! They still wanted access to Sarah's children. She said they either treat her as human or else tell the grandson they can't see him again. She made THEM tell the grandson. They did! They told him they love JEHOVAH more than him, etc. EVIL SHIT!!

12. The above treatment by the parents blows my mind. They are truly nice people, good people. They've devoted their entire lives to this cult, LDC work especially. They have ZERO to show for it. The Governing Body have their lakeside retreat with all the fixings, and Bob and Connie get to live in a tiny apartment above a garage because Stephen Lett said we're in the final part, of the very lasts days, in the LAST DAY. Their children are all out, living their lives. After all this shit, I now see them in a different light, a "New Light."

They are 100% - SUCKERS! They've been conditioned to eat shit, like it, and ask for seconds! More moronic "slaves" would be hard to find on this earth. Imagine, your youngest daughter is hideously abused, the Elders cover it up, turn it around on your daughter, and what do you do? Double-down and devote even more time and money towards the cult. These are the types the Governing Body are conditioning. Everyone else with a brain can get lost, these type of suckers are what the parasites at WT HQ are counting on. Easy money!

I'm in Pennsylvania. South-Cental PA. Yorkana, Red Lion are over-flowing at the brim with child sexual abuse going back DECADES.

The Sarah Brooks case was particularly close to home for me. These cases? The tip of the iceberg. I've know of some personally that would turn your guts!

Totally agree Simon. I see that shit CONSTANTLY over on exJW Reddit sub. If you aren't Left-leaning 1000% woke artist, your ass is basically banned from there. You're called a Fudd, a racist, a homophobe, transphobe, Islamaphobe, KKK member, Trump cult follower, etc. But then again, that's nearly ALL of Reddit at this point. I'm actually shocked the pro-gun and knife subs are even allowed on Reddit at this point in time.

Marcus Vaughn is great, but he's not as popular because sometimes......sometimes......he comes off just a bit - unhinged.

I'm mean he'll go off on tangents and get pissed off, and repeat himself, etc.

Jay the Comedian was good for a while, but he seems to be a big Cedars fan-boi, which is hard for me to imagine with his street smarts.

Unbelievable Amount of PIMOS at Massachusetts JW Convention

by RESPECTFUL OBSERVER in

jw
friends

this comment was made on reddit, perhaps protesting is starting to get the witnesses' attention.. it amazed me how many jehovah's witnesses exiting the convention were reading the protester's signs.

some of the witnesses were taking pictures of the signs.

jws were going by and smiling and giving a thumbs up.

I refuse to watch or look at anything Rick FEAR-on puts out. Guy is an even bigger clown than Hemorrhoid Evans.

After that whole "Johnny the Bethelite" fiasco and the Smurfgirl interview (another nut!) I can't believe anyone takes him seriously. His website is creepy AF, and is the epitome of what WatchTower exudes as the typical crazy Apostate.

Want to see something else from Reddit? I've seen plenty of people claim that while they were first questioning, they came upon his sight FIRST, and were so put-off with his creepy crap that they actually then dismissed everything else and went back INTO the cult for a while!

So yeah, there's the REAL effect he has on people. I can't believe people such as Barbara Anderson allowed themselves to be interviewed by such a buffoon. Embarrassing.

Reddit post about elder asking congregation for money to fix his car!

by LongHairGal in

jw
friends

yes, there’s a post on reddit.

it says that after a zoom meeting a request was made to baptized publishers to give $20 apiece to fix this elder’s car.. while this sounds highly irregular to me and not necessarily approved by the religion, i am not at all surprised at the nerve.

this, unfortunately, seems to be the direction that things are going there!

My response would be the same one WT HQ gives the Flock when help is needed of the Fine Shepherds:

Don't worry, just pray more because after all, "Jehovah provides!"

Gah! Look at that mug. Bleached hair on top, scruffy neck beard. (not matching) A face only a paid Thai Lady-Boi could endure. Eyes that seem to project loathing and despair. His Patreon money circling the bowl with each passing day. Not allowed on ANY of the major ex-JW forums to even promote the shit he now rarely puts out. Stuck in an attic, kicked to the curb by his in-laws who are by now sick of his dumb shit. Had to sell his paid-for-by-donor BMW. Reduced to an old Peugeot, or (gasp!) a Yugo? Maybe even a Vespa scooter? Oh, how the Mighty have fallen. Too bad, Too Baaaaaad!

Tibor probably reads here for him, then gives Cedars the main points.

Today:

Tibor: "Sir, Sir! I'm here to inform you that you're now a Meme-Lord! They're creating all kinds of Meme's with your facial expressions."

Cedars: "Oh? How do I look? I mean, nothing could be worse than Stephen Lett's faces, right?"

Tibor: ( thoughtful contemplation with raised eyebrow )

Cedars: "Well??"

Tibor: "Well Sir......they're speculating as to whether I also bleach your asshole, and what colour that might be."

Cedars: "Gah!!!! How could they possibly know about that? Do they have someone spying on us? Do you think the maid caught us?"

Tibor: "I should think not Sir, we pay the Asian Lady-boi maid quite handsomely for their services."

Cedars: "I agree, she-it is worth every Pound! They're just grasping at straws. They're jealous of me, and WISH they could be as well-known and respected an Activist as I am."

Tibor: ( eyes glaze over )
