it's only about 8 minutes long.
but he brings up the child abuse policies and cover ups and was disfellowshipped for being an 'apostate & liar'.
it's pretty good:.
Hello NewlyEnlightened:
Great video, I hope as many of the witnesses get to see this video for what it really is. The Society speaks a bunch of lies and eventually these lies will come out. It will all come out in the wash as the saying goes. Great job!

and it makes me sick.
i mean, i watch this big, black woman on youtube sing with this incredible voice and all i think is sadness cause i feel like she abuses her kids.
that's so awful.
Hello Cognac:
Just remember they put their pants on the same way we do. Their blood is the same color as ours. Theres not much difference they are human like you and me.

and what are they doing now?.
Hello Blackman:
It doesn't surprise me one bit that they'll let them go at a drop of the hat. They eat them up then spit them out when their done using them. What a sad thing to do for people who don't get a pay check just money for their necessities. Big deal a few dollars for all the work they do, and not only that but all the money the WTBTS takes in and they can't give back to them, IT STINKS BIG TIME.
ive had many single sisters (even the hot ones that horny brothers like to circle around during intermissions at assemblies/conventions) come to me recently asking if im single, what my spiritual goals are and how high in the ranks i am.
i just tell them that im not interested in relationships at the moment and that my focus is on other things.
they usually get the message and leave me alone.. but i lie.. .
Hello OneDay:
I'm glad to hear that you have a plan. And your probably right with how many sisters who are on the line of making a break from the Society. I wish there was a way to find out who they are for you. So right now you should put all your energy towards your plan to break free. Then once your free then you'll find the right girl for you. By then you won't have to be living the lie, you can finally be true to yourself.
i was thinking if i acted a little off but not too far off the elders would tell me i'm not welcome in the door to door work.
i wonder if this would work.
there is a watchtower or awake article somewhere saying that a mentally ill person may be excused from the meetings and field service if his illness affected others.
Hello Hoser:
I like what James Brown brought out If you don't want to go in field service or to the meetings then don't go. That's all there is to it. You don't have to answer to anybody but yourself. And yourself is telling you, you don't want to go. SO I SAY HAVE A PARTY AND KISS THEM ALL GOODBYE.
i have been reading on here for about a year and a half, joined some time ago, and have posted on rare occasions.
since i have become a little more comfortable in this forum lately, i thought i would give you some insight into who i am and why i am here.
i am a christian in the sense that i follow christ and no man-made organization.
Greetings:
I enjoyed your post where you say you've developed a real concern for those in the organization. So have we, because they are so blinded by the teachings of the Society. We wish we could get them all to see the real truth about the organization and it's teachings. Because they are blinded they can only see what the Society wants them to see. Thanks for seeing it for what it really is a bunch of lies.
i'm not far away from sending out a bunch of letters to all the jw's who i knew when i was one.
the letters are the accumulation of the last few months of research etc.
i've put a lot of effort into wording things just right so that that the jw's don't instantly throw it in the trash.
Hello Zound:
Sorry to hear what your going through. Isn't it like when you become a witness you want them to become a witness so they can be saved. I know you want everybody to leave the organization, but thats impossible not everybody will change. Once they see your name they'll probably rip it up and call you an apostate. Sorry that's usually how it goes. Hope you got the rest you needed
since some time i post here on this forum... i am always willing to help people or to express my opinion if it helps someone.... i have already posted something about myself but i haven't told much about my history.. i am married with a nice wife and i have three kids (two of my own and a stephdaughter).
since a year i do not go to meetings and i unofficially stopped with the "truth".
i had a meeting with some elders expressing my concerns with the teachings and with the slave.
Hello:
Sorry to hear of your loss of your mom and sister. And also your dad disowning you because you faded away. Sorry to hear about you and your wife. Drinking doesn't solve the problem even though it might numb it for awhile. Maybe things will change for you and her in the near future. As far as your kids being energetic it could be because their getting to much sugar. There are so many different forms of sugar, and they put them in almost everything we eat. Why even McDonalds puts sugar in their fries. Why so you'll keep coming back. If your not already eating healthy I would advise you to start as soon as you can. It's not really that expensive because I can whip up a cheap but inexpensive meal for me and my husband for just a few dollars and have leftovers too. That may help in some way or another. You also got some good advice from others on the forum so feel free to put them to use because you may find that they'll work. Don't ever feel that your a bother because your not. We love to hear about the experiences your having because there is sombody out there feeling the same. So keep busy maybe doing some research will take your mind off of your problems. So take care of yourself.
my son is still studying with the jw's and is giving his first talk this tuesday.
he's 22 and still living in my home.
my other two boys 12 and 15 are here as well but don't study cuz wifee knows how i feel.
Hello Marriedtoajw:
I like the many good points that were brought out but I especially liked Jgnat points. I don't know about this or not but when your wife goes out in service could the friends pick her up so she doesn't use the car and saves on gas for you. Could somebody pick up your family and take them to the meetings. Every little bit helps. Hey if Jehovah is suppose to be providing then if he wants her to go to the meetings then he'll find a way for her to get there won't he. As for your sons talk doesn't he know that you haven't been to the hall in years if any, so it shouldn't surprise him if you don't go. Well that's up to you if you go or not. But anyways you have a lot to think about. Good Luck, and take care.

beverly wright walked with a cane, slowly, avoiding uneven ground on wednesday morning as she went door-to-door on north delaware avenue inviting people to an upcoming jehovah's witnesses convention.. a week ago she had what she hopes will be her last of five skin grafts to repair wounds she received march 19 when a pit bull mauled her so badly that doctors told her she might lose her leg.. wright, 43, could have escaped injury that tuesday morning when an 80-pound pit bull burst through the front door of a house in the 200 block of n. lewis place and attacked her ministry companion and longtime friend, irene parker, 78.. but it never occurred to her not to help her friend.. both women were severely injured in the attack.
Hello Watchtowerfree:
I was sorry to hear about the dog attack on those sisters. But what is more up setting is the WTBS is not paying for their injuries. They have a Bank set up for help from warm hearted people donating. It goes to show you how cold they really are. Not only that but they let an older feeble brother go from the WTBS who worked there for years to be booted out on his own and is trying to make ends meat, IS DOWN RIGHT COLD. They don't have a HEART so why would they pay for those sisters injuries. They were only doing what they were told to do by the WTBS. So why shouldn't they expect them to pay for their injuries, WHY BECAUSE IT"S THE RIGHT THING TO DO but they won't do it. So who really wants to work for them I can tell you for sure it's not me.
