Hello
by WITNESS-FOR-WATCHTOWER-REFORM injust to say a big hello.
i have been reading this site for some time now and have been very unhappy with some of the things emanating from watchtower head quarters in new york.
the final straw for me is the upcoming watchtower study this weekend encouraging us to shun our own family members (our own mothers if need be) if they are disfellowshipped....a step too far for my liking.

Welcome to the site.
Wanting reform and fighting for it is noble. It can also be cathartic for a time.
Please stay on the board if things don't change the way you feel is fair. We all understand what you want.
Best of luck

Faith, where now?
by Theburstbubble inso for the first time ever i went to a church service at my local church (coe) and i have to say it was awful!
it was just like a ritual.
the vicar would say something and then the congregation would all say a phrase in unison back to him.

DavidJay,
Theburstbubble started this thread going on a journey to find something. You have high jacked the thread to preach. Okay other posters are asking you questions but Theburstbubble is not interested in what you have to say.
We know what you believe, let Theburstbubble find out what he / she believes

Lennon and McCartney could so easily have been writing for the Watchtower...
by The Rebel inin fact just like the watchtower, i've no idea what they were writing about half the time.
all that rubbish about " i am the walrus" and eleanor rigby keeping her teeth in a jam jar or something, and what "lucy the in the sky with diamonds" means i do not know!
anyway, i mention the above because shortly after i quit meetings, beattle loving brother, ian x also, stopped attending meetings, and i watched him transform himself in to a, scruffy bearded, hippyish, beer drinking slob, ( translation a great guy) .

Rebel,
He obviously never broke free. When he stopped going he was mentally still a believer. Just wanted to disobey the WT rules.......he couldn't have thought the rules were wrong though.
Lots of JWs leave and still are mentally attached to WT.

Starting threads
by Landy inany chance of people resisting the urge to start new threads when the subject is already being discussed?.
the prince threads are a good example.
instead of one interesting to read thread with lots of replies you end up with forty threads with one or two replies.

When a crime is commited?
by Drifting Away ini responded to someone on another thread, but would love to know this answer.. if a victim adult or child goes to elders and claims they were abused, don't they have to have clergy confidentiality?
so i was told that they encourage the victim to contact authorities , and they contact bethel, but arent there hands tied if the victim does not want to go to authorities?
an elder made the comment to me once.

WT have a policy of covering up crime within WT so as not to bring reproach on Jehovah.
When my daughter was physically beaten which resulted in a black eye by my ex, we went to an elder. He told us not to go to a domestic violence shelter and told us not to go to the police.
He denies this now.
Hiding crime is what they do. We are not the only ones......and when a female tries to expose a crime she is df'd.

Hubby got asked the loyalty questions
by atacrossroads inafter hubby skipped out on the memorial his parents and close friends started getting more assertive with him.
before they took on the role of the concerned let me rescue you from your apostate wife's clutches.
it's 100% my fault he stopped being a witness according to the inlaws.

Sorry your hubby is being hounded like this. Them blaming you is not respecting the sanctity of marriage. Credibility and reputation are very important do everything you can to protect yours. This cult can ruin lives.

Korean News : CoC in Korean
by AntiEntropy inhi bros.. after my father's publishing his book, "15 questions after 40 years of jw" , many ex-jw bros in korea became motivated to rush to the coc korean project.
however any secular project needs a fund eventhough it's a not-for-profit.
fortunately, a bunch of bros decided to donate generously $300~$7,000 to this unprofitable business.
