  i had the misfortune of being born into the jw faith.

  however, i thank god every day that i was disfellowshipped otherwise i would never have found the truth.

  good riddance to the watchtower bible track societys false publications, especially that book they claim contains the holy scriptures it is deceitful and full of darkness, and gets darker with every revision!

  Nicola, welcome to the forum! And congratulations on being DF'd ... love the way you put it, as a good thing.

  Looking forward to reading about your story.

  Just ignore any rude atheists. Some of us (atheists) are just happy you are free of the Watchtower, and don't feel any need to ridicule your faith.

  A coordinated effort to bring up Watchtower pedophelia to the public's attention.

  by Village Idiot in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  a statement that phizzy made on jonathan drake's thread on flyers gave me the following ideas.. we should make a flyer on the issue of the watchtower pedophilia issue written with the object of alerting the public about the jw door to door activity.

  phizzy suggested the title, "the paedophile at your door".. on that flyer should be the contact information of our most informed member on the subject who's willing to talk to the media.

  barbara anderson perhaps?.

  VI - not legal here.

  Hey, it's no biggie if people want to do it. It's your choice. I just think that people should check out the local laws, and they can make their choice accordingly. I

  Note: It's illegal to put flyers in mailboxes in Canada.

  I agree with JeffT.

  Wife wants a Family Study after the special talk...but initially refuses Bible only study.

  by garyneal in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my wife asked me to attend the special talk with her because she wants to attend something like this as a family and feels that she "enjoys worshipping together" as a family.

  i have not been to church for at least a year and have pretty much abandoned the practicing of my faith but i can remember how i used to want to have a church going family so i obliged.

  i feel kind of apprehensive about doing these things because she wants the kids and i to be on our best behavior and has even fussed at me for playing tablet games during other talks.

  Gary - I wish you success, with all my heart! You would be the 'dream husband' for so many women - I'm so sorry that the WTBTS has ruined your marriage.

  With much love,

  so i started working at this place 4 years ago.. and i am usually myself a still-in inactive atheist jw at work.

  after several months i came to realize the guy i work with is a devout jw... im always afraid of running into him in the conventions.. he is in a different circuit but im afraid he might show up in one of the district conventions.. i am dreading that day...

  So he is not aware that you are an inactive JW? That's fine .... carry on. If you run into him at an assembly, express shock "YOU are a JW? Wow, I didn't get that!" or whatever.
  
  Stay safe! xoxo

  2. friends

  my black brothers and sisters are now afrophobic - literally has just made news now.

  (i work in the major newspaper house in sa).

  that means south african africans fear, hate, or dislike black africans and black african descendants.

  We don't hear about this in North America - it's not so shocking to me, but it is disturbing and horrifying!

  Do you have any links to news stories that I can share on my facebook?
  

  This needs to be WORLD NEWS. Why is it not? Once again, we see that the media is tightly controlled, else we here in Canada and other places would be AWARE of this.
  
  Holy ****, Loubelle, I had no idea. This is sad, to see people turning against each other, and for what? WHY?

  sad, so sad

  LATEST NEWS: CANDANCE CONTI VERIDICT READY - WT LOST!!!!!!!

  by Viva la Vida in

  i'm not an expert but that is my understanding of this: .

  opinion filed.. (signed published) the judgment against defendants on the negligence count is affirmed.

  the judgment against watchtower on the cause of action for punitive damages is reversed with directions to enter judgment for watchtower on punitive damages.

  I see your view as naive --- you can't make a war on an amorphous 'enemy'.
  
  How successful was the War on Poverty?
  
  How successful was the War on Hunger?

  How successful was the War on Child Abuse?
  

  
  These are all American concepts, and oh my, SO flawed.
  
  There is no WAR - you can't fight a war on poverty, when capitalists are running the world. HELLO! It's a ridiculous concept, and I am guessing you are American, because that is the BS you have been fed from birth. There is NO possibility of fighting a WAR against a concept. Who is the enemy? Crazy stuff, and shaking my head at the fact, THE FACT, that people are hoodwinked into thinking that these catch-phrases mean anything.

  ack!

  Why do we get TTATT and others don't?

  by quest81 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have thought about how ttatt came full circle for me.

  how the connecting the dots was simple and just made sense,.

  how silos of information are literally at our fingertips today.. why is it that the ones we love cannot get ttatt?.

  Oubliette ---- yes, yes, yes! They have no 'sense' of personal integrity, because they have no boundaries. Their ethics are defined, entirely, by the WTBTS.
