(can't insert edit in title husband a jw?).
i just read that serena said both of them were jws.
but this wouldn't be the first time means 1) supports her beliefs and does them 2) supports her beliefs and doesn't interfered with but no where does it say he is a baptized witness.
Firstly, they never should have allowed her to get baptised so quickly. They should have at least waited a year or two, to test the waters. This has now created a P.R nightmare for them.
Isn’t it ironic that the very thing that is owned by Brother Williams, is the very thing that condemns them. Both sister Williams and the GB have to be looking and thinking WTF do I do next. I’m guessing she probably doesn’t even care what they think. Absolutely hilarious.
ok i just want to officially set the record straight about the report of csa in new zealand.
i have a pimo relative who lives in nz.
as far as public awareness, with regard to the jws, it was basically a big nothing burger.
Skin: well if there was something on the news my relative didn’t see it. Btw I’m not implying that there wasn’t. As my relative put it, he heard about lake Ellis, Salvation Army, Catholic Church but never heard the JW word. I dear say if he looked harder perhaps he would have uncovered something.

Ok I just want to officially set the record straight about the report of CSA in New Zealand. I have a PIMO relative who lives in NZ. As far as public awareness, with regard to the JWs, it was basically a big nothing burger. According to my relative it featured twice on the 7pm news, over 2 nights, and the JWs weren’t even mentioned. This is not to say that an article didn’t appear in the National news paper, but my PIMO relative said that he couldn’t find an article that linked the goings on in the JWs to CSA. In my relatives opinion the PIMIs could be forgiven for not even realising the JWs were part of the investigation. Locally she has also commented there is silence in the congregation about this
7/28/2024 sunday, despite dozens of watchtower official press releases attempting to swamp google seo, new zealand child abuse outrages climb to page one for "jehovah" news results.. ".
former jehovah's witnesses welcome inquiry's findings of 'credible evidence' of abuse.
8:07 am on 27 july 2024".
A PIMO relative, who lives in New Zealand, mentioned to me that both in the papers ,and on the tv news stations, the Jehovah’s Witnesses didn’t even get mentioned. The local JWs, in his opinion, aren’t even aware that the JWs were even part of the investigation net alone the implications. WT lives another day.
do you recall any?.
i was told that john denver hated jw's with a vengeance - any truth in that?.
also, annie lennox - i was told before a concert she asked any jw's present to leave?.
I don’t know with regards to John Denver kicking JWs out. But from accounts I’ve heard about him he was a narcissistic, arse to begin with. Tbh giving Michael Jackson the flick when they did was the right move. Imagine the allegations laid against him combined with the 2 witness rule in JWland what a hornets nest they would have now.
i'm interested to know the age demographics here.
it must be significantly different to other exjw forums.
it would be a damning report for watchtower if most of us appear to have left for decades.. you don't have to mention your exact age, you could always say "in my 50s".. i am in my 70s.
By the comments here I’d say most would be in the over 50 bracket. That is why the conversation here, and subjects discussed, has so much more depth to it. Then say the likes of reddit. If there is something that I really want to know, this is by far, my first port of call. Love you all guys, you’re a huge source of support.
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
I’m no drug rehab expert, but to me his teeth look fine. I’ll wait for more evidence to surface before I start making accusations. It seems that scandal is never far from this guy. It’s a shame really, how things have ended, as his work was to a very high standard. I’ve noticed recently that he has missed, or been slow to responded to, some prime opportunities in watchtower land. He is also the only guy I know of who has been able to make a living on the back of watchtower, and I think in his prime, quite a successful one.
become a circuit overseer in your mid to late 20's.
you would have had to qualify as an elder previously.
this would mean the male would have had to have been an elder in his early 20's.
Balsamsass2 - Why was he removed.
i remember sitting through public talks where the speaker spent the hour discussing in great detail anal sex, masturbation (of yourself and others), sex during menstruation and so on.
.
i was a child, looking back now, i realise that they systematically stripped away our childhood innocence, we knew and heard things no 'worldly' child would have heard.. the child abuse and grooming happened to every single one of us, the feelings of guilt and shame was in all of us even if we didn't actually do anything bad, the mental images caused by these filthy men hung around in our innocent minds till there was no room for that innocence.. it has taken me 44 years to realise that what was done to us, even those of us not physically abused, is a crime.. do they still have talks like that nowadays i wonder?
I remember as a PIMI, been eye witness, to a young 13 year old boy, giving the number 2 talk on masturbation. I went up to the PO and complained about the inappropriateness of it. I told him in no uncertain terms. I remember another occasion of a young MS, who was never married, giving the public talk on marriage. I just laughed, but said nothing .

My father recently commented on a co visit. He reckon the guy that turned up would have been, at the very oldest, in this early 30s. He too agreed about the wisdom of having such a young guy put into that position of responsibility.
