Jehovah's Witnesses' silencing techniques: as terrifying as child abuse

[tmonster]

Good advice. If you're concerned about child abuse in a cult, you should join that cult. Yes.

I know several Elders in different Kingdom Halls in Chicago & none of them should be preaching anything even remotely related to God. Man is more corrupt then the "demons" they love to scare you about...

while i don't agree with JW doctrine generally speaking they're pretty good people. about 1/2 of my family on my dad's side are JW, of that 1/2 i want to say 100% of them are productive members of society with great jobs and families.

There's something seriously something really wrong there. I'm glad the Watch Tower building is being converted into condos.

This is nonsense.
My mother is a Jehova Witness. I have been to thier churches (known as Kingdom Halls) and to many of their events.

They are incredibly strict about what you can and cannot do, biblically.
You will find yourself disfellowshippped (kicked out) for something as simple as cursing regularly. You think they are protecting child molesters? Ridiculous.

I'm not saying someone somewhere didn't try and cover something up. Just that whatever this kid is talking about is not a deep-rooted institutionalized problem or a conspiracy within the organization.

Here is how you can know for certain if a group has anything to hide: Try and join.

Try and become jewish, scientologist, catholic, or anything really and start counting the hoops they want you to go through. How much it costs in fees, secrecy agreements to rise in rank, inner-circles, secret groups within groups, ranks, etc.
Go try and join a kingdom hall. They'll accept you immediately, today. They aren't concerned with being 'infiltrated' and having their secrets exposed cause they don't have any. You can walk in there in plain clothes right now. You don't even have to dress up.

And everything is free. They aren't begging you for money. Its night and day different from attending church.
And they don't do weirdo suspect shyt. They aren't scheduling away overnight camping trips and creepy shyt like churches do. Jehovah Witnesses attend a group prayer/sermon/discussion sort of thing, and also do group bible studies, abd thats it. They aren't one of those churches tryna seperate you from your kids and have your kids spend alone time with old priests and other weirdo shyt. Like I said, I've been to some of their stuff. They have religious opinions I don't adhere to... but there are no kid diddling red flags of any kind.

sounds like you were clearly molested

There are good and bad and exploitative people in EVERY ORGANIZATION. Watch your children carefully. Church is not heaven. Congregants are not saints.

the cac mamba <---- Stay in school. Keep on living.

Im going to be the 5th person to say it in this thread, I have some JWs in my fam, and I've even been to a couple of kingdom halls (like when my boy passed away, he was a JW), they're strict but they're good people. I can't imagine them just being ok with child molestation, these cats are pretty moral, its so moral that it makes others very skeptical of them. you do anything remotely wrong like take hit of a blunt and you're disfellowed, so im pretty sure molestation would get you banned and jailed lol

You know JW's lost cases about this in the USA and Australia for example.

you say that because you don't understand them.

I can't imagine them just being ok with child molestation, these cats are pretty moral, its so moral that it makes others very skeptical of them. you do anything remotely wrong like take hit of a blunt

the rule is if you "do anything they say you should not do or do not do what they say you should do" you get booted out.

that includes things like questioning thier leadership or doctrine. or even going to another church.

and you're disfellowed, so im pretty sure molestation would get you banned and jailed lol

nope. they are allowed to lie to "authorities" in the name of the religion.

lying in officially sanctioned in certain cases and all JW's have to be ok with that doctrine or they get the boot.

Religion = Man made brainwashing cults


The genius of religion is if you even so much as question the religion or its God, when you die you go to “hell” - a hidden warehouse below the earth that burns u for eternity managed by a tall red nikka that drinks warm henny, laughs and pokes u with a pitchfork all day


Mental handcuffs
