  Why Do Kingdom Halls Smell Funny?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  having visited dozens of kh's over the years, i can indeed confirm that they all have the same smell about them imho.. it's not very nice either, perhaps even a little sinister is the odour that emanates from most of them.. i wonder what it is that get's up my nose so?.

  JW kids molesting kids......

  by Smiles in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  we know thw jw congregations have concealed adult pedophiles.

  recently, we have been made aware that jw congregations are concealing the youngest of pedophiles, even ages 4-8.. unfortunately, most of the children have been molested themselves by either another jw or an non-jw.

  but the molested children themselves are now molesting other children, while they "play" alone together at private homes or even outside the kingdom halls at night after meetings.. the parents and grandparents of the children are aware of the inappropiate behavior of their own children.

  The parents and grandparents of the children are aware of the inappropiate behavior of their own children. Elders were informed about the behavior. Some of the parents and grandparents of the children are elders themselves.

  Nothing is being done to prevent the molesting. The children are NOT being taken to professionals for therapy. The parents, grandparents and elders seem to minimize the seriousness of the problem because it is "just children being children" playing, learning and growing. These parents, grandparents and elders are also probably wanting to avoid marring the "reputation" of themselves and these children. But sex abuse is sex abuse and it should never be covered-up.

  The children are the ones who suffer because this problem is not entirely addressed. Those children will grow up into young adults and have to deal with either being a victim of sex abuse or a perpetrator of it. The next generation of JW pedophiles is growing up.......

  This problem may also be troubling other organizations with children in them. But, the JWs preach that their organization is God's only true organization on earth, which should make them more accountable for these things.

  Any form of child abuse is wrong, be it an adult abusing a child or a child abusing another child.

  Many congregations are ignoring the problem. It is just going to get worse and the child will continue to be abused, all because the JWs do not want a bad public reputation.

  Is anyone dealt with or aware of this problem of JW kids molesting other kids and it being concealed by the parents and elders?

  "Apostates" to protest International ...

  are any "apostates" planning to protest at the upcoming special international conventions?

  we heard the wts is going to pull out the surprises.

  for those who may not know.... the jws make a big deal out of these special international conventions, often referring to them as 'historical milestone' in jw history.. manys jws, more than the norm, including those without any seniority (unusual), have been hand-picked from many thousands of jw applicants worldwide, to travel to the exciting foreign locations around the world (and 1 or 2 u.s. locations) for the upcoming international conventions.

  refiners fire,

  That is actually a great idea. Or even better...... a blimp in the shape of a giant lamb for all the silentlambs victims of sex abuse within the JWs.

  Talk to Bill Bowen about that one.

  Although, I am sure their exists the danger of WT thugs firing off a few rounds at such a blimp in an effort to cover-up the problem even more....

  BIG SURPRISE at upcoming International Conventions

  by Smiles in

  1. social
  2. current

  has anyone else been told about this...... word out of hq bethel has it that the upcoming special international conventions will contain some kind of major information or releases.. we know the gb has been rather quiet the last couple years after their 'reorganizing'.

  perhaps because they are facing the sex abuse scandal..... but also likely they have been working on some fancy surprises for the upcoming special international conventions, to excite their masses......... and also try to detract them from the scandals.

  it would be good timing of their part.. this should be interesting......... .

  Something along those lines. But I doubt it stops there.

  Manys JWs, more than the norm, including those without any seniority (unusual), have been hand-picked from many thousands of JW applicants worldwide, to travel to the exciting foreign locations around the world (and 1 or 2 U.S. locations) for the upcoming international conventions. Sounds grand, but, they are required to cover most of the costs out of pocket. Most will be required to come up with $2,000 - $4,000 to go. Except for the traveling guest speakers, their wives and the guest missionaries, who enjoy all expenses paid of course.

  The WTS is going to try to make history again at the upcoming international conventions.

  Are any "apostates" planning to make the trip to REMIND all the happy, excited JWs about their sex abuse problems

  Can't pass up that opportunity!

  "THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD"

  by Blueblades in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  its been over two years now since the g.b.

  revised the legal organizational structure to further stress "the ministry of the word".. james n. pellechia, public affairs director for the religion,denied that the potential legal problems has anything to do with the reorganization.. he said the g.b.

  is simply being relieved of administrative tasks so it can concentrate more on "the ministry of the word".. the g.b.

  From what I have been told by some at Bethel, is it may take the WTS a number of years to research, write, edit, print and release a new publication of a more weighty nature.

  Something major is likely to be released at the upcoming INTERNATIONAL convention programs held around the world.

  LOYAL ELDERS

  Is there such a thing?

  If they are loyal to the WTS then they would not be reading in this forum.

  If they are not loyal to the WTS they will be screwed over by the WTS, like B. Bowen was.

  Whether an elder is loyal or not, one thing is for sure...... they will never accept any blame. They will always blame someone else for their mistakes....... as most elders are loyal to themselves.
