@thds699 you only notice because you are a JW- you don't notice other things. I've had enough of the 'imperfect' excuse. Not all religions harbor child molesters. Not all religions encourage their members to SHUN those who have left. They are not the worlds fastest growing organization, get your facts straight. Nevermind, you are a JW you don't care about facts!

@LaGioiella What is totally disgraceful is demonizing women and children that have reported it to the police by telling thier so called JW "friends" that they are "unworthy association" after they have been assaulted or molested by these garden variety nut jobs. Perverts have found a REALLY EASY WAY to commit crimes against humanity and have other men in charge cover for them in Kingdom Halls this way.

@troylockhart05 Bullshit. Sorry but JWs are full of bullshit. They have been preaching the last days this, the last days that for YEARS and it has never happened. They keep changing their prophecies.  No one knows the truth but God.

@8917cutie89 True?? Do you even realize how many times the JWs have been wrong. If they have the truth, then how come they have been wrong so many times. Also it was not the JWs who discovered that Jesus was not born on Christmas day.

Load of crap we dont thk

Ink were above anybody! A true witness would never molest or hold out on authorities....smh

[8917cutie89]

wat the jws preach is true. how many times does a "Pope" or whoever talks in churches actually even MENTION the bible. There is no proof tht Jesus was born in christmas! in fact jws have clues that support he was not born on christmas. and thaths why jw dont celebrate it, instead they ceebrate the day he died. the day he gave away his life for our sins. he sacrificed himself for us and we should not just ignore and go kill, rape others or go get high or steal.

it's funny how jws think they're better than everyone else! . . .i think they're fucking skum

The person who I was abused by was a JW, and now i'm wondering if his connection to the Hall was a contribution to his reasoning. He was more of a Non-denominational Christian when it happened, but he grew up as a JW and remained a JW most of is adult-hood until he and my mother married. Does anyone know what it is with JW concepts that seem to make it so common for their members to abuse a child?

@billsdoris It's apostate because the Watchtower Bible and Tract society says it is. When I was a witness, it was almost a knee jerk reaction. Anything negative=apostate and my ears would close, and my brain to would switch and hear nothing but lies. It is truly amazing the amount of control the WTS has on the Witnesses. Thats why you hear ex-JW with 40 years in, 20 years in, 50 years in. Some never do see. Be nice to the Witnesses, the WTS is evil.

They sure do have a lot in common with the RCC. They both are Masonic cults that dictate what the flock reads, control the flock with threats of excommunication, and now they protect pedophiles. Oh yeah...they both participate in the U.N. ( JW--1999 thru 2007 as an NGO ) and both pray to 'other' gods...JW's believe that Y'Shua is 'a' god ( Jn 1:1 ). Their founder Russell is buried under a great pyramid, like all of the other false prophets!

every religous group have sinners in their flock so it should not suprise anyone that you find them with jehovah witnesses. it is wrong for them to preach or teach that they are the sole holy people on this earth. thats just not true. there are good and bad in every group. god is the only true judge. remember that!!! everybody needs jesus. so everyone please examine themselves!!!!!!!!!
