Small (tiny) victories

jw
friends

i had a conversation with my wife today about child abuse as it's in the news, and i managed to slip in the fact that wt (not an individual, but the .org itself) has just been ruled against in the states to the tune of 13 million or so.

she knows i'm opposed to the procedures we have in place, and she can definitely see that it makes sense to go straight to the police, and said she would do immediately if it were our children.

we had a fairly local case where the elders positively marched the offender to the station themselves, and good for them for doing so, but she most likely thinks everyone would do that out of common sense.

DHOH,

Well done. Over this past year I can notice a change in your approach. I think you have accepted your position, and learning to tread more carefully. It's really nice you are being listened to now. Kate xx

JC's and recordings?

by punkofnice in

i know there are recordings out there of jcs and more to come.

i imagine the average drone wouldn't dream of recording a jc but those who are aware of the tatt might record jcs if they bother to attend.. i'm wondering (yes, another idle speculation post...sorreeeeeee), with the advent of more being recorded if the wbt$ will change their tack on how jcs are conducted?

leave it the same?.

I recored one of mine. I had so many JC meetings they just became complaicent. They thought the meeting would last five minutes, but it lasted 17 minutes and I took control of some of the topics we discussed. I was told in a few of my JCs that I couldn't record it, but I would have just lied and recroded it anyway if they had asked me not to.

Many have benefitted from listening to it and I still get comments now on the youtube channel

What would it take to get you outa there?

i have a question for any still going to meetings but no longer a believer.. is there any situation or announcement that would cause you to.

draw your line in the sand and walk away?.

if so, what would be your "last straw" moment?.

KateWild

I was full on in when I was in. Even though I was DF'd it still wasn't the push that made me leave, but when I got turned down for reinstatement five times and learned TTATT, then I left completely. Thankfully my grown up daughter left too.

"Confidential" JW.ORG Video Project Leaked

by Emery in

jw
friends

syneidos posted some interesting information on reddit regarding jw.org's latest project for the upcomming 2015 memorial campaign.. for next year's 2015 memorial campaign, jw.org is producing an invitational video featuring jesus.

the video is still being filmed at the moment and i was told it was super "confidential.

" my source already saw several scenes from it and said, "it looks and feels like a cinematic movie.

KateWild

This invitation movie seems kind of unworkable, will be fun to see how it all works out. Kate xx

How would it be racist?- ak

Fair enough they are both caucasion. It's just highly discriminatory and prejudice behaviour for a child of this age. Kate xx

It's good that you're both on the same page. I hope you have custody and visitation agreed also. I had a bad divorce and the family is still suffering stress as regards these issues. Kate xx

This totally shocked me. The parents should be ashamed of her. To have that little respect for a stranger is prejudice and probably racist. Kate xx

by nonjwspouse in

ARE JEHOVAHS WITNESSES CREATIONISTS OR EVOLUTIONISTS?

by Viva la Vida in

the answer to this question is not that easy or obvious as you might think.

if your answer is "creationists" you are wrong, they are evolutionists a rare breed of evolutionists, but evolutionists at last .. at this stage of my argumentation you might think i have lost my mind for stating jehovahs witnesses are evolutionists, but this might be because you are thinking as the wt has taught you to think.

the wt has presented a distorted view of the theory of evolution.

KateWild

Exactly viva la Vida, we can define them whether they like it or not. Kate xx
