They do have some magazines on everyday life stuff. Sometimes its religious but sometimes its just stuff with good suggestions. I dont mind the visits tbh Well when I was in the organization I never got to see that list...weird... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone saying this is awful should do their research. Jehovahs Witnesses is one evil cult. Not only do they break up families by shunning people left and right but they also protect pedophiles. Just a couple of years ago 1000+ files of cases of child molestation/rape leaked which the cult had hidden away from the police and media to not get bad publicity. As an ex jw myself this is something every jw is aware is happening as they encourage people not to report any crime to the police. Kids every day are raped by men and are silenced when speaking out. They are told by the leaders of the congregation that it never happened to them and that they probably even enjoyed getting raped. I am myself a victim of sexually harassment and was told to suck it up, mind you I was ten. Kids seek help but therapy and such are forbidden within the organisation so they usually commit suicide. I left because i'm gay. They encouraged me to pray away the gay which I tried to do for several years but it was killing me. When I left my relationship with my mom was destroyed. What they do is mentally abuse and brainwash their member into thinking that if they do not follow everything the leaders tell them (which is 5 white men from the U.S.) they will die. So I say thank you lord for this, Russia has acknowledged that this is an extremist group so for that i'm thankful. Where the hell did u get that information? That sounds nothing like the JW i know Also not only would phedophilia be very against their moral beliefs, but in addition they also strongly believe in respecting Government authority (unless it went against gods standards or something). I do not buy this nor has it ever been reported in any reliable source that i know of Also one if the leaders is black and at least one of the whites is Australian not American and they have 7 leaders not 5. The fact that u got that wrong tells me ur getting this from wrong sources Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That alone already doesnt look very good on credibility if ur gonna go on a rant about something not even posted in any major credible need. "5 US white men" being the leaders. Its 7. And I know theres at least 1 black guy and 1 Australian. Im not sure about the other 5. But even if they are all American, considering their headquarters are in the US its not that weird that the majority would be American. Doesnt mean they racist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
