Let me guess, Salt Lake City? hmmm

Why God Permits Evil I've known plenty who have left or been disfellowshipped, and still others who feel trapped inside.

There can be severe social consequences to leaving your religion behind, but many continue to do it, spurred on by a desire to live and learn independently. Taz Ali meets the people who’ve used their freedom from faith to discover themselves for the very first time – and often far later in life...

NO, I mentioned people with tourettes. I wonder how the Society handles such a person, who makes weird noises and often curse uncontrollably

Yeah, I was aware that the Society allowed one treatment and that's it. "We'll give you a pass, once. After that you die, but hey, you'll wake up in the Kingdom." Makes you wonder how they treat people with tourettes LOL

Years ago, I have a friend, who was a JW. Served as an elder. I've lost touch with him, so I'm not even sure if he's still alive. But he admitted to me that he fell away twice, first after the 1975 fiasco, then later when his 15 year old daughter died as a result of refusing blood. Of course...

Welcome Becca, glad you can join us. May I ask, what is it you wish to teach?

In one of our sister congregations. There was a couple who left the area. 10 years later, the sister returned, married to another man and with a son. One of the members in the church began to question her, and as it turned out, she and her husband had divorced and eventually remarried other...

Agreed. I have heard the horror stories of the JW's laying in hospital beds, with doctors, afraid to speak their minds because the elders were there. Tey wanted the blood to save their lives. Too often, JW's don't ever think it will ever come to it. And when it does, they panic.

The Czech authorities are mulling whether to crack down on the local branch of Jehovah’s Witnesses, whose warning of ‘religious persecution’ is downplayed by its critics as martyrdom posturing. In a cease-and-desist order, dated from September 2024 and seen by BIRN, the Czech Culture Ministry...

How ironic is this? When you think of Jehovah's Witnesses, you automatically think about their preaching habits. Standing on corners, knocking on doors. Back in 2017, a street preacher was witnessing outside a Jehovah's Witnesses convention in Irving, Texas. The Witnesses called the police on...

Matthew 18:15-18 is what the church uses as their guide to discipline members. However, such discipline has limits. By that I mean, if some violates church rules, teach doctrines not accepted by the church, then the church has the right to discipline them. If they are a member with...

Of course Aunty Jane and Kiew will not comment on this. In Jane's own country of Australia, the Witnesses were under investigation for Child Sexual Abuse. Thousands of kept records by the Society. They keep records of all the pedophiles in the congregations worldwide and never inform their...

In some countries, the Watchtower Society have lost their rights to government subsidies because of certain beliefs and practices.

The leadership frowns on notifying the police. They would rather punish the victims into silence. As they have often stated to them, "Going to the police will bring reproach on Jehovah's name." I pride myself on being a devout Christian, but if someone in my Church molests my child, or...

Amen!

Plenty of Pedophile priests within the Catholic church, and the church hides them. Usually, relocating them.
