  After 52 years a Watchtower slave 9/11 gave me the push I needed to get out.

  i turned in my letter of disassociation on september 18, 2001 but it was 9/11 that showed me what the witnesses really feel about human lives and the future wished for.. i was in limbo after my wife of 27 years left me on july 30, 2001. she knew i wasn't buying the jw program anymore.

  she told me she come back to me when "i got my head straighten out about god and the church".. so for 40 days i was in limbo.

  i stopped going to meetings.

  I also remember a brother, who told my my husband he couldn't wait to get home tonight to see the death count. Made me sick and yes it truly shows what heartlessness among people that are supposed to be so loving.

  I don't really skimp on food. I try to by the best quality I can afford. But I do stay away from pre-packaged and convenience foods that cost more.

  For example, my family loves hummus. I buy the dried chickpeas . I soak overnight, then boil them with a little baking soda. Two cups of chickpeas, some tahiti, garlic and lemon juice goes a long way for a little money.

  I also make lots of stir fries that require little meat and lots of vegetables.

  the royal commission has published 35 submissions received from a range of organisations and individuals in response to its consultation paper: best practice principles in responding to complaints of child sexual abuse in institutional contexts.

  the commission received submissions from sector peak bodies, government agencies, survivor advocacy and support groups, religious institutions and other interested parties.

  the consultation paper, which was released in march this year, sought input into which matters should be canvassed in a complaint handling policy and how those matters might be addressed, as well as the royal commission’s suggested best practice principles.

  A JW Father Learns about Blood

  by Lee Elder in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  this father contacted us a few months ago about his experience with the watchtower's blood policy, and how his daughter nearly died as a result of it.

  hopefully, other jw parents can learn from this before the wt policy claims the life of their child.

  the wts has very few meaningful interventions or "non blood alternatives" for anemia.

  Brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for sharing it. Anything that is beautiful is turned in the ugly by the watchtower.

  I hate this organization more and more each day.
